6 Transportation, storage and maintenance
When unpacking the TrackMan™ Radar Unit from the original shipping box, remember to
store the box for future use. The original shipping box must be used in case of return of unit
for service or repair.
6.1 Transportation
The construction of the TrackMan™ Radar Unit is in general very robust. However, the
plastic plate in the front of the radar is a bit more sensitive. During transportation the
TrackMan™ Radar Unit should be protected from direct shocks and bumps on the front
window.
The TrackMan™ Radar Unit is designed to fit into a carrier-on luggage for the airlines. It is
recommended to enclose the TrackMan™ Radar Unit with foam or other shock absorbing
materials when packed in a box or bag.
If the TrackMan™ Radar Unit is send by cargo, which is not recommended, allow for at least
50 mm of space from the metallic chassis of the TrackMan™ Radar Unit to the shipping box
sides, by using heavy duty shock damping materials.
6.2 Maintenance
The TrackMan™ Radar Unit has been constructed in robust materials with minimum
maintenance for years of outdoor usage.
The TrackMan™ Radar Unit contains only highly reliable electronic and mechanical systems
that require no user maintenance.
When the two legs of the TrackMan™ Radar Unit are extended there can be some water,
mud, or dirt on them after use. To remove this, use a soft cloth to wipe it of. There are two O-
rings that make sure that no dirt, water or mud gets inside the TrackMan™ Radar Unit. If the
legs are cleaned very thoroughly, a small amount of grease has to be added on the legs in front
of the O-rings.
The front of the TrackMan™ Radar Unit can be wiped with a soft damp cloth. Make sure that
the front plate is not damaged. In the case that the front plate is damaged DO NOT try to open
the TrackMan™ Radar Unit, nor try to change the front plate.
WARNING!
Security screws are mounted on the back of the TrackMan™ Radar Unit. If the seal is
broken the warranty agreement will terminate immediately.
The camera window has to be cleaned once in a while. Use regular window cleaning
detergent. Be careful not to scratch the window glass.
