Cabling
On top of the sensor unit there is a connection box. The five pole Phoenix connector is wired as indicated in the
table below.
The cable gland is meant for cables with a diameter
between 9 and 13 mm.
Mains:
Mains supply is 24-64VDC. Supply variations of +10% and – 20% are allowed. The power
rating is max 18W.
Communication : Standard the WaveGuide radar communicates with the WaveGuide Server via an RS-485
connection (A, B and signal ground). The cable must be twisted pairs and shielded (eg.
Novasub DLR3). The maximum length is 1200 m. The shielding must be connected to ground
to both sides of the cable. There can be a potential difference between the grounds at the radar
location and the server location. Therefore a capacitor (10 to 100 nF) should be applied on one
side of the cable between shield and ground.
