• 

Manholes and flanges on the vessel must be closed and sealed to 

avoid penetration of the radar signal

• 

The instrument should be preferably mounted on top of the vessel 

with antenna orientation downward

• 

The instrument must only be installed and maintained by appropri-

ately qualified staff

tionary vessels made of metal, concrete and reinforced fiberglass.
For operation outside of closed vessels, the following conditions must 

be fulfilled:

• 

This device shall be installed and maintained to ensure a verti-

cally downward orientation of the transmit antenna's main beam. 

Furthermore, the use of any mechanism that does not allow the 

main beam of the transmitter to be mounted vertically downward is 

prohibited.

• 

Operation of the instrument with horn antennas ø 40 mm, ø 48 mm 

and parabolic antenna (ø 245 mm) is only permitted within closed 

vessels.

• 

This device shall be installed only at fixed locations. The LPR 

device shall not operate while being moved or while inside a mov-

ing container.

• 

Hand-held applications are prohibited.

• 

Marketing to residential consumers is prohibited.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufac-

turer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

2.9  Radio license for Canada

only available in the English/French language.
This device complies with Industry Canada's license-exempt RSS 

standards. Operation is subject to the following conditions:

• 

This device may not cause interference, and

• 

This device must accept any interference, including interference 

that may cause undesired operation of the device

This device has been approved for both closed containers and open-

air environments with the following limitations:
