InSight Radar (IR2) (IR2-HD2 and Higher Models)

Hardware Installation

Installer’s Guide

Installing the Antenna to the Base

Remove the protective cap covering the rotary coupler on the top of the scanner.

Match the antenna radiation direction to the direction of the arrow markings on the

rotation base and secure the antenna in position using four M8 bolts.

Figure 3.7—Fitting the Aerial Unit

Installing the Control Box

Find a dry weather and waterproof place within reach of the antenna cable. Choose

a proper bolt length according to the thickness of the surface on which you are

going to install the Control Box. The hole diameter is different when using bolts or

tapping screws. When using tapping screws, drill holes in a matched size. When

using bolts and nuts, drill the holes of 6 mm (0.24 in.) diameter. When you have

finished, install the pedestal part first and then the control box.
