7INSTALLATIONRADAR INSTALLATION - RED LIGHT ENFORCEMENT (RECEDING FLOW)The nature of the design of the radar lends itself to versatility in its mounting on the roadway. There are however, factors to be considered when siting the radar to ensure optimum performance is achieved.The radar should be installed at an angle of approximately 20º from the pavement line and sited toward the centre of the junction area. The area to be enforced should be within the ‘D1’ range of the radar (85 metres max). Mounting height should be approximately 3 metres from ground level. Offset (setback) should be approximately 2 metres. Declination angle of the radar head should be approximately 10º.Care should be taken to ensure that the area of interest is covered by the 40º field of view, this can be affected by mounting height, correct mounting angle to the road, correct declination angle and the radar offset.Lane 13.5mD2D1Offset 2mHorizontal field of viewHost Enforcement350 RadarLane 2 Lane 3 Lane 4Vertical field of viewApproximate stopline locationDeclination angle (Downward toward pavement)20º10º20º350 Radar Installation ApproximationD1 - Maximum range at centre of radar bore (85m)D2 - approximate distance from the stopline (20m)Offset - approximate setback from lane 1 (2m)Horizontal field of view - approximately ±20º from centre bore of radarVertical field of view - approximately ±10º from centre bore of radar

11INSTALLATIONRADAR MOUNTINGAs highlighted on the previous page(s). There is a certain amount of flexibility in the position of where the RADAR is mounted. The offset, height, distance from stop line, even orientation in relation to the stop line can be altered, however when selecting a mounting position, all parameters should be reviewed to ensure that sufficient RADAR beam coverage of the area of interest, can be achieved at the chosen mounting location.Selecting a Suitable SiteWhen choosing to deploy the radar at a location, the following is a non-exhaustive list of considerations which should be taken into account. • Does the proposed mounting position give sufficient beam coverage to ‘view’ the enforceable area ? • Are there any large reflecting surfaces directly in front or behind the RADAR mounting position ?Radar Speed Accuracy Simulated target up to 262km/hr ±…….Km/hr Real target typical accuracy ±…….Km/hr Radar speed resolution readout 0.1 Km/hrRadar Range Accuracy Simulated range up to 70m ±………m Real target range accuracy ±2m for a range up to 70m Range readout resolution 0.1mRadar Angular Accuracy Simulated angle ±…….º Real target angular accuracy ±…….º Angular readout resolution 0.1 ºRadar Angle and Range Modes The radar has two modes when reporting range and angle. This can be set to a distance based range and angular approach of the target vehicle, or alternatively, the position of the vehicle can be expressed as an ‘X, Y’ co-ordinate (polar or cartesian).

33IMPORTANTIMPORTANT INFORMATIONLow Power Non-Ionising Radio Transmission and SafetyConcern has been expressed in some quarters that low power radio frequency transmission may constitute a health hazard. The transmission characteristics of low power radio devices is a highly regulated environment for the assurance of safe use. There are strict limits on continuous emission power levels and these are reflected in the testing specifications that the products are approved to. These type approval limits are reflected in the product specifications required for a typical geographic area such as those for the EU (ETS300:440), for the USA (FCC part 15c) and for Australia/New Zealand (AS/NZS 4268). The limits adopted in these specifications are typically replicated in many other localized specifications.The level of safe human exposure to radio transmission is given by the generally accepted guidelines issued by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). This body has issued guidance for limiting exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz) which are quoted below. Note 1 Values are calculated conversions for comparison purposes.Note 2 Other equivalent limits include; Medical Research Council Limit of 10mW/cm2, IACP limit of 5mW/cm2 (at 5cm) and UK CAST limit of 5mW/cm2. . Power density at the radome typically 4µW/cm2. .Note 3 Calculation is made on the assumption antenna is a point source therefore the actual value is likely to be significantly less than that quoted. Note that a theoretical max level at a 5cm distance (which gives 0.318mW/cm2) is at a point in the field where the radar beam is not properly formed.Note 4 Comparison for product model 350 operating in the band typically 24.050GHz to 24.250GHzFrom the table it can be seen that it is extremely unlikely that a potentially hazardous situation could occur owing to the use of such low power devices.It is considered to be good practice not to subject humans to radiation levels higher than is necessary. In a works environment where multiple equipment on soak test are to be encountered then it is considered good practice to contain the equipment in an appropriate enclosure lined with radar absorbing material.Radar and ICNIRP limit comparison Typical Informative Limits for Radar Transmission ApprovalRadar Transmitted Level (Note 4)ICNIRP Limit (Table 6)Exposure Margin ETS300:440 FCC (part15c) AS/NZS 4268Power (mW EIRP)<100mW (<20dBm)N/A N/A 100mW (20dBm)1875mW (Note 1)100mW (20dBm)Max Power Density (mW/cm2)3.18µW/cm2 at 50cm (Note 3)<50W/m2 (5mW/cm2) (Note 2) 0.064% N/A N/A N/AField Strength (V/m) at 3m<0.58V/m (5.8mV/cm) (Note 1)<137V/m (1370mV/cm) 0.42%0.58V/m (5.8mV/cm) (Note 1)2500mV/m (25mV/cm)0.58V/m (5.8mV/cm)(Note 1)
