Where to Mount the Sensor
Sensor Mounting Locations
The CyScan system is designed for permanent or semi-permanent installation on-board a
vessel. Often, a custom-fabricated plinth is used to provide the optimum height and location
for mounting the CyScan sensor.
On all types of vessel the sensor should be mounted:
•
With an unobstructed view in the expected direction of the target structure or vessel.
•
Well above sea level to prevent swamping or immersion.
•
On a flat, rigid, horizontal surface able to support 30kg and receive 4x M8 fixing bolts.
•
Allowing for easy access to the connector board and Sensor Information Display.
•
Clear of VHF emergency band antennae, S-band and X-band ship’s radars (as far away
as possible but at least 5m, in all directions, from any radar).
•
Clear of likely emissions from exhausts or other particulate sources to reduce the need
for cleaning the optical windows.
The sensor should be mounted with the
(see page 8) facing directly towards
either the bow (default) or the stern; parallel to the vessel’s fore and aft centre-line. Any
deviation from the centre-line alignment must be corrected in the CyScan Service Interface.
Exhaust emissions contain particulates which will degrade the optics.
WARNING:
If the CyScan sensor is mounted with the access plate facing towards the stern, the
BOW/STERN switch on the connector board must be set to STERN.
A typical mounting position is above the wheelhouse for a vessel with a
superstructure like that of a platform supply vessel.
