The target is water resistant to IP66. However, do not submerge the unit in water.To Switch the Target ON:1. Press the ON/OFF buon on the top of the unit.2. The green light should be permanently lit when unit is in operaon.Under normal condions with a fully charged baery, the rechargeable target will operate connuously for up to 640 hours before it needs recharging.!When the unit is switched on and no green light is shown, then the baery requires charging.ON/OFF BuonPower LightChargingThe rechargeable target should be fully charged before use. A full charge takes approximately 24 hours.!DO NOT charge targets in an explosive atmosphere or other hazardous environment.The target should be switched o while charging. (Both lights o). To Charge the Target:!Note: Only use the supplied charger.1. Switch the target o and unscrew the charging socket cap on the rear of the unit.2. Connect the supplied mains charger (Part № 39-0033-2). (Input: 100–240VAC, 50–60Hz, 1.5A Output: 24VDC, 2.5A, 60W).3. When charging is complete, disconnect the power from the unit and replace the charging socket cap.Rechargeable Target—RearCharging SocketRadaScan Mini-Target GuideATEX Cercaon Label Mini-TargetMini-Target—FrontInstructions for Safe Selection, Installation, Use, Maintenance, Repair and TransportUser instrucons (in compliance with ATEX 94/9/EC Direcve, Annex II, 1.0.6) Mini Target Part Numbers: 20-0108-1 and 20-0110-1 ATEX Certificate Number: SIRA 10ATEX2254XUse in Hazardous Environments XTargets may be used in zones 0, 1, or 2 with ammable gases. XTargets may be used in the presence of ammable gases and vapours with apparatus groups IIB or IIA and with temperature classes T1 or T2 or T3 or T4. XThe equipment is cered for use in ambient temperatures in the range of −25°C to +55°C and should not be used outside this range.Installation and Maintenance XTargets must be installed by suitably trained personnel in accordance with the applicable code of pracce (typically IEC EN 60079-14). XTargets must be inspected regularly by suitably trained personnel in accordance with the applicable code of pracce to ensure they are maintained in a sasfactory condion. XTargets are not intended to be repaired by the user. They must only be repaired or serviced by Guidance Navigaon Ltd, or by an approved service representave of Guidance Navigaon Ltd, in accordance with the applicable code of pracce. XTargets do not require assembly or dismantling. They do not contain any customer-replaceable parts, and no user adjustment is required.Electrostatic Hazard XTargets must not be installed where external condions could cause an electrostac build-up on their outer casing. XThe target’s outer casing presents a stac hazard and must only be cleaned using a damp cloth.Corrosive Substances XTargets should be protected from solvents, or acidic gases or liquids that may aect the integrity of its outer case. Transport XTargets must be transported in a suitable transit case.Mini-Targets can be used with RadaScan and Mini-RadaScan systems. One or more targets should be mounted on the target plaorm or vessel.There are two models of Mini-Target: XRechargeable (Part № 20-0108-1-S2-*) XNon-rechargeable (Part № 20-0110-1-S2-*)(The non-rechargeable variant requires baery pack replacement as roune maintenance. This should be undertaken by Guidance Navigaon Limited, or a suitably qualied service technician).!Do not open the target. It should only be serviced by Guidance Navigaon Limited, or a suitably qualied service technician.If you experience any problems with the unit, please contact:Guidance Navigaon Ltd4 Dominus WayMeridian Business ParkLeicester Tel: +44 (0) 116 229 2600LE19 1RP Fax: +44 (0) 116 229 2604United Kingdom Email: radascan@guidance.eu.comRadaScan Mini-TargetINTRINSICALLY SAFEPart And Serial Numbers:*20-01XX-X-X MRT100XXXX*20-01XX-X-X MRT100XXXX4 DOMINUS WAY, LEICESTER, ENGLAND, LE19 1RP, UKTEL: 44 116 229 2600 FAX: 44 116 229 2604II 2G0359WARNINGPOTENTIAL ELECTROSTATICCHARGING HAZARDSEE INSTRUCTIONSHAZARDOUS LOCATION DESIGNATIONI.S.

Hook the foot of the target underneath the knob on the boom of the mounng plate. (See right).2. Rotate the target backwards unl it is held in place by its magnets against the mounng plate.Knob Mounng PlateMagnetSwivel BracketMounting on Horizontal Bar Mounting on Vertical BarSwivel BracketSwivel BracketThe swivel bracket (Part № 21-0275-1) should be used to point the target towards the RadaScan vessels’ working area. It can be mounted on either a horizontal or vercal bar:PositioningThe locaon, range and orientaon of the targets in relaon to the sensor have a signicant eect on the tracking performance of the RadaScan / Mini-RadaScan systems, and hence on the quality of the posion data sent to the DP system.RadaScan is a radar-based system. Metallic structures reect the microwave beam transmied by the sensor, and can cause mulpath interference, where ghost images are reported by the system. However, this unwanted phenomenon can be prevented by carefully posioning the targets according to the following guidelines:Targets Should be Mounted:With a clear, unobstructed view towards the RadaScan-equipped vessel.At a height no lower than two metres below the vessel-mounted Sensor.At a height no higher than ve metres above the vessel-mounted Sensor.On outside corners of the rig or plaorm to minimise the amount of metallic structure around them.Good LocationGood angle of incidence.Lower angle of elevaon allows vessel to pick up target on approach.Longer range aids performance in high sea states.Usually clear of obstrucons and away from enclosed corners.Provides adequate cover during vessel manœuvres.Rig/Plaorm RadaScan VesselGood Target LocaonsPoor LocationGood angle of incidence.Steep angle of elevaon prevents vessel from picking up target on approach.Shorter range inhibits performance in high sea states.Oen surrounded by obstrucons and radar-reecng metalwork.Does not provide adequate cover during all vessel manœuvres.Rig/Plaorm RadaScan VesselPoor Target LocaonTargets Should NOT be Mounted:On inside corners.Below an overhang.On lower service decks below a main-deck overhang.
