System Overview
The RangeGuard system provides object detection and distance measurements using fixed beam radar sensors operating at 24GHz in the licence-exempt short
range device band.
A system comprises a RangeGuard controller with up to four sensors wired into it and the RangeGuard Display user interface. This is provided as a web server
interface which can be accessed by any web browser running on the same network.
The sensors are typically positioned around the outside of a vessel
and are connected to the controller via screened Cat 5e cable up to
a maximum length of 100m.
RangeGuard sensors have a fixed elevation beam width of 11°
(+/-5.5°) and are available in two azimuth beam options:
1. Wide beam (110°).
2. Narrow beam (11°).
By default the sensors measure the range of the nearest obstacle,
but can instead measure to selected objects that are further away,
by changing settings in the operator interface.
Sensors can be utilised in a number of configurations to provide
customised detection of objects around the vessel.
The RangeGuard system can be installed alongside video
monitoring equipment to provide distance measurements to objects
in view.
