Technical characteristics
1 General description
The ARGUS Radar fully complies and exceeds IMO recommendations.
• IMO-Resolution A.278 (VIII), A.694 (17), A.823 (19), MSC 191 (79), MSC 192 (79)
• EN 62388 Ed.2.0, 2013
• EN 62288 Ed.2.0, 2014
• EN 60945 Ed.4.0, 2002 incl. Corr.1, 2008
• EN 61162-1 Ed.4.0, 2010
• EN 61162-2 Ed.1.0, 1999
The ARGUS Radar is composed of the scanner unit and three modules i.e. a desk-mounted Monitor Cabinet, Keyboard and
Core Unit. Thanks to the modular design, it can be assembled to form a stand-alone display cabinet or may be flushmount-
ed into a mechanical bridge console. The standard basic configuration always includes an electronic, built-in Interswitch for
dual radar installation.
The above flexibility makes the ARGUS Radar the optimum solution for a dual radar system on new constructions and retro-
fit installations.
