Physical Installation Guidelines
n
Large un-kept flora such as large dense bushes or weeds, especially in windy regions
n
Busy roads rich with vehicle or human traffic
Metal Objects
Avoid placing the radar in the vicinity of large static metallic objects.
Static objects such as large poles, fences and rails, within the near vicinity of the radar might result in in-accurate
target position measurement and Ghost targets created by Real targets (even outside the stated coverage) reflecting off
the metal object.
NOTE
The Reflected targets may also occur even if the metal object is not in the near vicinity of the radar.
NOTE
Nearby static metal object might reflect targets from outside the coverage area into the alarm zone.
Refer to
.
Figure 12:
Metal Objects Reflection - Static Object
Avoid placing the radar in the vicinity of large moving metallic objects: such as trucks, cars, forklifts, as these might
generate too much reflected signal and thus blind the radar and prevent it from observing additional targets. In
addition, such large targets might even be picked-up outside the coverage zone of the radar and generate nuisance
alarms within the coverage zone.
NOTE
Large moving object (truck) in the vicinity of radar might generate nuisance alarms inside the alarm
zone. Refer to
.
