INSTALLATION AND SETTING
1.2 Rev. E
1.2.1 Location relative to masts, funnels and
other constructions
Due care should be taken with regard to the location of radar antennas relative
to masts, funnels and other constructions.
The location of the antenna should comply with the following:
The antenna should generally be mounted clear of any structure that may
cause signal reflections.
Ensure that any support or other obstacles are clear of the rotation of the
antenna (see specific antenna outline drawing for rotational radius).
Install antenna and turning unit so that the installation complies with the
compass safe distance for the equipment.
1.2.2
Blind sectors and range
To make full benefit from the radar, it is vitally important for the OOW that
horizontal and vertical blind sectors for the radar antennae are minimized. The
objective is to see the horizon freely through 360° as nearly as possible.
For all radar systems and where practical, a line of sight from the radar antenna
to the bow of the ship should hit the surface of the sea in not more than 500 m
or twice the ship length, depending which value is smaller, for all load and trim
conditions.
The radar antenna should be located in an elevated position to permit
maximum target visibility.
