The SceneScan 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 SceneScan Sensor.
On all types of vessel the Sensor should be mounted:
• With an unobstructed view in the expected direction of the scene (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 (5 meter minimum horizontal separation from RF
sources (VHF, S and X band) and ideally vertical separation of one deck).
• Clear of likely emissions from exhausts or other particulate sources to reduce the need for cleaning the optical windows.
• The field of view off the vessel should be clear of retro-reflective material

Where to Mount the Sensor
The Sensor should be mounted with the Access Cover available for easy maintenance (see
page 8
). Any deviation from the
centre-line alignment must be corrected in the SceneScan Service Interface. See the
Bearing Offset
section on
page 64
for
further information.
Exhaust emissions contain particulates which will degrade the optics.
A typical mounting position is above the wheelhouse for a vessel
with a superstructure like that of a platform supply vessel.
