Your RadaScan sensor will have been shipped from Guidance Marine with software already
installed. However, it may be necessary from time to time to upgrade the software with a newer
version.
This can normally be done without the need to re-enter information about the sensor such as
Antenna Type. However, in the unlikely event that the installation has become corrupted, a “Clean
Install” is required which makes a fresh record of the information.
To Upgrade the Sensor Software and overwrite Sensor Parameters:
1. Copy the
RadaScan.Installer.Remote.exe
file from the USB memory stick on which it was
supplied onto the hard disk of your Type 2 Marine Processor or other computer on the same
local area network as the sensor.
2. Double-click on the
RadaScan.Installer.Remote.exe
file.
The
RadaScan Installation Configuration
screen is displayed.
3. If the IP Address shown is not correct for your sensor, amend it.

Installing the Sensor Software
Do not proceed unless directed to do so by Guidance Marine or a qualified technician. Make

lost during a clean installation and will need to be restored afterwards.
