Installation
Logistics
WARNING! The RADius 500 contains a lithium battery inside the equipment
housing. The battery is completely covered by the transponder
housing and is watertight. Unless severe damage is made to the
housing there is no risk of explosion or fire. See Appendix E Transportation for labels and symbols on equipment package.
To avoid possible fire, explosion, leakage or burn hazard do not
open the sealed unit. Do not attempt to recharge, disassemble,
heat above +75° C / 167 F or incinerate.
Caution!
The RADius 500 battery cannot be recharged and an attempt to do so
could result in a hazard. (Battery terminals are not accessible unless the
cover is destroyed or removed).
Inspect equipment for possible physical damage before installation. Make sure that no
damage is made to the cover of the RADius 1000 Interrogator unit, the RADius 600
Transponder and the RADius 500 low power.
WARNING! Defective cover, exposing battery, on RADius 500 may be
hazardous.
Safety: General safety guidelines to be followed when working in mast and on deck. See note
on battery in Appendix E - Transportation in this manual.
Personnel qualifications: Trained electrical workers.
Minimum number of personnel: 2, especially when mounting the Interrogator Unit to rail or mast.
Ship location: None.
Special tools required: None.
Note!
Keep the original packaging (at least) for RADius 500. The package is equipped
with transport labels specific to content (lithium battery).

3.3
Installation
Location of the system parts
The following sections describe various procedures regarding mounting of the different
system parts:
3.3.1
The Interrogator Unit
For location of the Interrogator Unit, consider the following:
•
The sector which the Interrogator is supposed to cover. The Interrogator has an operating
sector of 90 degrees in both vertical and horizontal direction.
•
The longest Interrogator axis must be horizontally oriented.
•
The Interrogator should be located high above sea level.
•
The Interrogator should not be mounted close to the ship side, or other large metal
surfaces. This is to avoid multi path effects.
•
The Interrogator needs free line of sight to the Transponders.
•
The Interrogator should be mounted to a stiff mast, rail or wall to limit the risk of
mechanical resonances caused by vibration. Excessive (> 1 g rms) vibrations could affect
the quality of the measurements.
•
During dual Interrogator installations, the two Interrogators should ideally be mounted
with a 90 degree difference as shown in Figure 8. This will make it possible to cover 180
degrees.
Note!
The longest Interrogator axis must be horizontally oriented, or else the RADius
system will not be able to track any transponders.
A typical operational scenario for a single Interrogator solution is shown in Figure 3. The
system will typically operate against several Transponders simultaneously and the
Interrogator should be installed in the direction where the vessel will see one or more
Transponders in the operational environment. For a supply vessel a good location for
installation can be outside railing on top of bridge roof, pointing aft. To avoid multi path
effects during operation, it is important not to locate the transponders close to the ship/rig
side.

Installation
Figure 3 Typical operational scenario for a supply vessel operation, single Interrogator
For supply vessels operating with different sides against an installation, it is highly
recommended to use a dual Interrogator system. A typical operational scenario for a dual
Interrogator solution is shown in Figure 3.
Figure 4 Typical operational scenario for a supply vessel operation, dual Interrogator

RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5
3.3.2
Installation
The Transponders
Please note that Transponders located at the same side of the vessel MUST have different
identification numbers (ID).
For location of the Transponders, consider the following:
•
The Transponder is placed on a reference location, e.g. rail of rig, which is to be
positioned by an Interrogator.
•
The orientation of the Transponder is optimised according to its 90-degree operating
sector (both vertical and horizontal) and to the operational location for the vessel(s)
containing the Interrogators.
•
The longest Transponder axis must be horizontally oriented.
•
The Transponder requires free line of sight to the Interrogators.
•
The Transponder should be mounted to a stiff mast, rail or wall to limit the risk of
mechanical resonances caused by vibration.
•

Installation
Setup of configuration parameters
Configuration parameter setup consists of:
•
•
•
Select Interrogator Unit (see chapter 3.4.3.1)
Entering the mounting angle for the Interrogator Unit (see chapter 3.4.3.2)
Entering output data interface (see chapter 3.4.3.3)
Figure 20 System Configuration dialog box
Always fill in the setup parameters for the specific installation in the Installation Worksheet
before entering the setup software. Fill in the parameters directly in the worksheet found in
the Appendix A - Installation worksheet in the manual. In this way, the parameters for the
actual installation will be easier to find when requested later.
3.4.3.1 Select Interrogator Unit
During first boot after installation, it is necessary to select which Interrogator Unit to use.
This is done by selecting the
button in the Radius GUI. This will open the window
shown in Figure 20. By selecting View Interrogator Units, a list of current Interrogators
appears (as in Figure 21).
27
RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5
Installation
Figure 21 View Interrogator Units menu
For each Interrogator Unit edit the Unit Name, shown in Figure 20, to identify the
Interrogators after installation (e.g. IU 1 Port side). When choosing between different
Interrogators at the installation, select the Interrogator Unit drop down menu. Then choose
which Interrogator to use, and make sure that the Active check box is checked (as shown in
Figure 20).
3.4.3.2 Interrogator mounting angle
The Interrogator's mounting angle has to be calibrated after installation. RADius outputs
direction to the Transponder relative to the vessel's centre line (0 forward, positive to
starboard). The Interrogator is typically pointing backwards on the vessel. If the mounting
angle had been 180 degrees, then the mounting angle in the system configuration box above
should have been 180 degrees. However, the actual installation angle is seldom met exactly
and a procedure to measure the actual angle is shown in Figure 22.

Installation
In this example the Transponder is mounted at the stern of the vessel.
1. The location of the Transponder is measured relative to the centre line of the vessel and
the Expected angle , α1, is calculated.
2. The system measures the angle to the Transponder, Measured angle: α2, and the offset
from the expected angle, Offset angle: α3, is computed.
3. Then the Mounting angle, α4, can be computed based on the expected mounting angle
(180° in the example above) and the computed installation Offset angle, α3.

3.4.3.3 Data output
The Processing Unit has to be set up to output data to a DP system, following the procedure
below:
1. Select which data output channel that is to be configured. This is usually channel 1.
2. Select which port that is going to be used.
3. Configure the port settings according to the settings on the host system.
4. Select the wanted output format. PSXRAD, FBEAM, ARTEMIS and ABB DP are
available. For a description of the different formats, see Appendix B - Output Protocols.
5. Set the wanted output interval [ms]. The default value is 1000. This gives an output
frequency of 1 Hz (one telegram per second).

APPENDIX C - BULGIN CONNECTOR
ASSEMBLY
It is very important that the Bulgin connector is correctly assembled to ensure that the
connectors are watertight. Follow the instructions below carefully.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FLAT PART OF THE
SCREW TERMINAL MUST MATCH THE
CORRESPONDING FLAT PART INSIDE THE
CONNECTOR MAIN BODY.
Insert in correct position
Figure 25 Bulgin connector assembly
•
The gland nut shown in the figure above should be replaced with the supplied gland nut
with strain relief.
•
Insert the cable through the glands and the connector main body before connecting the
wires to the screw terminals.
Note!
After fastening the wires in the connector, use Loctite on the screw terminals to
avoid loosening of wires due to vibration.
When inserting the screw terminal part into the connector main body, be sure to rotate the part
until it is locked before installing the retaining ring. The flat part of the screw terminal must
match the corresponding flat part inside the connector main body. A good way to ensure a
correct installation is to rotate the screw terminal body inside the connector main body until it
locks and can not be rotated more.
It is in addition recommended to vulcanize all outdoor connectors with self vulcanizing tape.

Caution!
Appendix C - Bulgin connector assembly
If the screw terminal body is not correctly mounted in the connector main
body, the assembled connector will not be waterproof.
It is recommended to use self vulcanizing tape on the assembled connector.

APPENDIX D - TRANSPONDER ID SETTINGS
The table below shows the possible DIP switch settings for setting the TID on the RADius
Transponders. Standard settings are 150, 160, 170 … up to 300. Note that the battery powered
RADius 500 Low Power Transponders has two jumpers close to the middle of the card that
has to be shifted from lower to upper position when the frequency identities is 210 or higher
(marked with different colour in the table).
