2.Installation of Scanner Unit > 2.4 PRECAUTIONS 2-39 2.4.3 Scanner installation position 1) Physical selection criteria • Install the scanner at the center of the mast on the keel line. • If the scanner cannot be installed at the above position for some reason, the amount of deviation must be minimized. And, reinforce the mount base and the platform and take precautions to protect the scanner from vibration and impact at the installation position. To avoid the radiating section coming in contact with other installed objects while it is rotating, ensure that there is at least 200 millimeters from the swing circle (turning radius) to other installed objects (Fig 2-15 Installation of scanner). The swing circle of the JMR-7200/9100 radar's scanner is as shown in Table 2-5 Swing circle. See “SN.1/Circ.271 6.2(b)”. Fig 2-15 Installation of scanner Table 2-5 Swing circle Scanner unit (length) Swing circle NKE-2103-6/6HS (6ft) NKE-1125-6 (6ft) NKE-2254-6HS (6ft) 1910mm NKE-1129-7 (7ft) 2270mm NKE-2632/H (8ft) 2770mm NKE-1125-9 (9ft) NKE-1129-9 (9ft) 2825mm NKE-1130/1139 (12ft) NKE-1632 (12ft) 4000mm
2.Installation of Scanner Unit > 2.4 PRECAUTIONS 2-40 • Avoid having a rope or signal flag from winding around the radiating section thereby preventing it from rotating. • Avoid the effects of dust and heat caused by smoke from a chimney. • When determining the appropriate scanner height and installation location, take into consideration the reduction of vibration, the strength of the hull and the scanner mount base, and maintenance properties. • Provide for maintenance space: platform, safety link, hand rail, steps, etc. The lower edge of a radar antenna should be a minimum of 500 mm above any safety rail. See “SN.1/Circ.271 6.1(b)”. • When installing the scanner, select a location where there are the fewest structural objects in the surrounding area so that the capability to drive the motor will not be depressed by the non-equability wind which is likely to rotate the scanner. 2) Electrical selection criteria • The installation height of the scanner relates to the maximum detection distance. The higher, the better. However, if it is too high, radio wave energy greatly attenuates above the scanner's vertical beam width (the point -3dB from the peak of the main lobe). As a result, it is difficult to detect a close-in target. Sea clutter also increases. Determine the installation height by taking into consideration the weight, maximum length of the cable, and maintenance after installation. See “SN.1/Circ.271 6.3(b), 7.1”. • If the installation height of the scanner is low, it is difficult to detect a long distance target. The ship's mast, derrick, and chimney interfere with radiating beam causing the range that cannot be viewed on the radar display to increase. Generally, the lowest scanner installation position is supposed to be on the A-B line shown in Fig 2-16 Lowest scanner installation height. In the case of the JMR-7210/7225/9210/9225 type radar, 2θ equals 20 . In the case of the JMR-7230/7272/7282/9230/9272/9282 type radar, 2θ equals 25 . Specifically, the scanner position is normally elevated so that the chimney and the shrine-gate type mast do not interfere with radiating beam. The A-B line, or L line of sight from the radar antenna to the bow of the ship should hit the surface of the sea in not more than 500 m or twice the ship length, depending which value is smaller, for all load and trim conditions. See “SN.1/Circ.271 6.3(a)”. ABθJMR-7210 / 7225 / 9210 / 9225 ：θ=10°JMA-7230 / 7272 / 7282 / 9230 / 9272 / 9282 ：θ=12.5° Fig 2-16 Lowest scanner installation height
2.Installation of Scanner Unit > 2.4 PRECAUTIONS 2-41 • If it is considered that sufficient installation height cannot be provided when the scanner is in-stalled directly on the roof of the wheelhouse, use a mounting rack or radar mast (Fig 2-17 Mounting rack and mast for the scanner). Normally, when the scanner installation height is less than 2 meters from the roof of the wheelhouse, provide a mounting rack assembled at an angle frame to install the scanner. When the scanner installation height is 2 meters or higher from the roof of the wheelhouse, provide a cylindrical radar mast to install the scanner. Con-sider the convenience of the service staff who take care of installation, maintenance, adjustment, and repair of the scanner by providing adequate footholds to the mounting rack and the radar mast. Fig 2-17 Mounting rack and mast for the scanner • When installing the scanner, select a location where there are the fewest structural objects in the surrounding area so that false echoes which interfere with target detection will not be generated by signal reflection from other scanners, deck structures, and cargo. Only as a guide, note that structural objects should not exist within the range of the vertical beam width (Fig 2-18 Scanner and the surrounding structural objects). See “SN.1/Circ.271 6.2(a)”. Vertical beam width of X-band: Approx. 20 ( 10.0 when the height of the radiating section is 0 ) Vertical beam width of S-band: Approx. 25 ( 12.5 when the height of the radiating section is 0 ) Fig 2-18 Scanner and the surrounding structural objects
2.Installation of Scanner Unit > 2.4 PRECAUTIONS 2-42 • When installing two or more scanners, scanners in close proximity should have a minimum vertical elevation separation angle of 20 and a minimum vertical separation of 1m where possible, so that those scanners do not enter each other's vertical beam width range. See “SN.1/Circ.271 6.1(c)”. • To avoid interference with other equipment and to prevent radio noise from generating, do not place the VHF antenna, GPS antenna, and INMARSAT's dome within the range of the vertical beam width. See “SN.1/Circ.271 6.1(a)”. • Keep a record of installation height data. The data is necessary for the initial setting of the display unit. • Minimize the blind sector, and ensure the adequate view angle so that the blind sector does not exist in the range 22.5 from side to rear (Fig 2-19 Ensuring view angle). Specifically, ensure a sufficient view field in the straight front (relative bearing 000 ). See “SN.1/Circ.271 6.3(c)”. • Individual blind sectors of more than 5, or a total arc of blind sectors of more than 20, should not occur in the remaining arc, excluding the arc in Fig 2-19 Ensuring view angle. See “SN.1/Circ.271 6.3(d)”. • For radar installations with two radar systems, where possible, the antennas should be placed in such a way as to minimize the blind sectors. See “SN.1/Circ.271 6.3(e)”. Fig 2-19 Ensuring view angle • Magnetron which has strong magnetic force is included in the scanner. Install the scanner at least 6 meters away from nautical instruments including magnetic compasses and chronometers. See “SN.1/Circ.271 6.2(c), 7(c)”.
2.Installation of Scanner Unit > 2.4 PRECAUTIONS 2-43 *If there is a concern that structural objects existing within the vertical beam width may generate false echo, equip the structural objects with a radio wave absorber. (There are two types of absorbers: broadband type having no specific resonant frequency and narrowband type which can absorb a band with a specific frequency. Use those where applicable.) Furthermore, it is effective to install a metal reflector, which reflects radio waves upwardly, between the scanner and a structural object so that the radar's radio wave will not directly come in contact with the structural object. When the structural objects exist in the surrounding area of Scanner unit, the false echo may appear. The sector blank function is effective to reduce the signal reflection from the structural objects. Because it can stop transmission. Therefore, it may reduce the false echo appearance. Because most radio wave absorbers have poor durability, some must be replaced every year. When installing a reflector, the area to the rear of the reflector becomes a blind sector. Therefore, minimize the size of the reflector. When the sector blank function set to on, ensure a sufficient view field in the straight front.*The above procedures for selecting an scanner installation position are described based on the radar's scanner. Comprehensively select the scanner position by considering other scanners' installation procedure manual, hull's structure, strength of the selected position, and vibration. 2.4.4 Confirmation during test run If the scanner vibrates a lot during test run, try to reduce or prevent vibration by reinforcing the scanner mount base or using wire stays attached to the radar mast. 2.4.5 Others • The design of the mounting platform for the scanner should take into account the vibration requirements of resolution A.694(17) and furthermore defined by IEC 60945. See “SN.1/Circ.271 7(d)”. Vibration 2 to 13.2Hz Amplitude +/-1mm +/-10% 13.2 to 100Hz Acceleration 7m/s2 • All installations should facilitate protection of equipment, including cabling, from damage. • The cables should be kept as short as possible to minimize attenuation of the signal. See “SN.1/Circ.271 7.2(b)”. • Crossing of cables should be done at right angles(90°) to minimize magnetic field coupling. See “SN.1/Circ.271 7.2(e)”. • Eliminating the interference on frequencies used for marine communications and navigation due to operation of the radar. All cables of the radar are to be run away from the cables of radio equipment. (ex. Radiotelephone. Communications receiver and direction finder, etc.) Especially inter-wiring cables between scanner unit and display unit of the radar should not be run parallel with the cables of radio equipment. See “SN.1/Circ.271 7.2(h)”. • Cable, coaxial cable and flexible wave guide should not be exposed sharp bends. See also section 2.4.2 (4) “3) Permissible bending radius”. See “SN.1/Circ.271 7.2(g)”. • The grounding of equipment units should be carried out according to 0 • Installation for the specified scanner model and 2.3 Installation of Transmitter Receiver See “SN.1/Circ.271 7.2(i)”.
