SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The user and installer must read the appropriate safety instructions before attempting to install
or operate the equipment.
DANGER
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, can result in minor or moderate injury.
WARNING
Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard
The radar antenna sends the electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy. This energy
can be dangerous to you, especially on your eyes. Do not look at the radiator or near the
antenna when the antenna is rotating.
The distances at which RF radiation levels of 100 W/m 2 , 50 W/m 2 and 10 W/m 2 exist
are shown in the table.
DO NOT go near more than 5.9m (Safety standard is 10 W/m 2 ).
Distance from Antenna
1.1m
2.8m
5.9m
Power flux density
100 W/m 2
50 W/m 2
10 W/m 2
WARNING
Do not open the radome.
Electrical shock can occur. Only qualified personnel should work inside the
equipment.
Wear a hard hat and safety belt when mounting the antenna
unit.
Serious injury or death can result if someone falls from the radar antenna.
Do not use any other power except 100 to 240 VAC.
Connection of an incorrect power supply can cause fire or damage the
equipment.
Turn off the power immediately if water leaks into the
equipment or smoke or fire is coming from the equipment.
Failure to turn off the equipment can cause fire or electrical shock.
Do not operate the equipment with wet hands.
Electrical shock can occur.
Do not disassemble or modify the equipment.
Fire or electrical shock can occur.
ii
SSE-14-0022_2
Use only the specified power cable.
Fire or damage to the equipment can result if a different cable is used.
Use the power supply grounded certainly.
Electrical shock or defect of operation can occur.
When a thunderbolt is expected, do not approach a system
or do not touch a hand.
There is a possibility of receiving an electric shock.
A worker's safety is guaranteed although the measures which protect apparatus
from indirect lightning stroke serge are taken against this machine.
It is not a thing. Moreover, if a direct stroke is impressed, it may break down.
Attach securely protective earth to the unit.
The protective earth (grounding) is required to the AC power supply to prevent
electrical shock.
CAUTION
Do not put liquid-filled containers on the top of the
equipment.
Fire or electrical shock can occur if a liquid spills into the equipment.
Establish space in the surroundings of apparatus as much
as possible.
It becomes a cause of performance degradation and failure.
Do not put any strong impact to LCD because of glass.
Serious injury may cause by broken glass.
WARNING LABEL
Warning labels are attached to the equipment. Do not remove any label.
If a label is missing or damaged, contact us for the replacement.

System Configuration
The observation system consists of Antenna Unit (radome), Signal Processing Unit (storage box), and
Display Unit (indoor unit) as shown below.
1) Antenna Unit (radome)
The Antenna is stored in the radome turning and radiating the radio waves.
The radiated waves are backscattered by precipitation particles on the propagation path, return to the
antenna, and are processed by RF converter to transfer the signals to Signal Processing Unit
2) Signal Processing Unit (storage box)
Signal Processing Unit is stored in the storage box, and processes received signals digitally.
The digital processed signals are transferred to the display unit via 1000Base-T (LAN).
3) Display Unit (indoor unit)
The data is displayed graphically and stored with a general-purpose to personal computer (PC).

Any slack?
CONTENT/PROCEDURE
Wipe an adhering substances with a wet soft
cloth.
However, since radome is made with FRP,
don't use gasoline, benzine, and a solvent
like ketone.
Please contact to our trouble support after
finished the waterproofing disposal.
Please strengthen fixation of a protective
tube.
*Before to start the maintenance, please make sure the power of radar system is off.
