3.3 Verify the Radar Beam covers your Area of Interest
The radar beam creates an oval shaped spot on the ground. The installer / planner has to
verify that the measurement point lies inside the covered area.
Please check these points:
Verify that there are 20m (60ft) covered by the beam between max. range and area of
interest (on all lanes)
Verify the lanes are fully covered by the beam; stop bar shall be fully covered by the
green beam.
Green beam shall not cover too much additional area right or left of stop bar. Use T45
if the stop bar area is small. Do not use CAIMAN-PRO 80 by default at every location.
Include some allowance at beam limits (on all lanes)
Recommended mounting parameters: see chapter 3.6.
