- Preface -

This instruction manual describes installation method of the NTG-420

Transmitter-Receiver. This manual describes radar system configuration with

X-band Radar Antenna and NCD-2247-1B PC type radar monitor display as an

example.

1. Selecting the installation position

1) Physical selection criteria

•Install the antenna at the center of the mast on the keel line.

•If the antenna 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 antenna 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.1-1). The swing

circle of the X-band Radar Antenna is as shown in Table 1-1.

•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 antenna height and installation location,

take into consideration the reduction of vibration, the strength of the hull and

the antenna 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.

•When installing the antenna, 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 antenna.

2) Electrical selection criteria

•The installation height of the antenna relates to the maximum detection

distance. The higher is the better. (However, if it is too high, radio wave

energy greatly attenuates above the antenna'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.

•If the installation height of the antenna is low, it is difficult to detect a long

distance target. The ship's mast, derrick, and construction objects interfere

with radiating beam causing the range that cannot be viewed on the radar

display to increase.

Generally, the lowest antenna installation position is supposed to be on the

A-B line shown in Fig.1-2. In the case of the radar antenna, 2θequals 20°.

Specifically, the antenna position is normally elevated so that the building

etc do not interfere with radiating beam. The inside of A point might be blind

area due to antenna beam does not propagation. So, if near distance should

be covered, antenna installation position must be considered carefully.

•If it is considered that sufficient installation height cannot be provided when

the antenna is installed directly on the roof of the building, use a mounting

rack or radar mast (Fig.1-3). Normally, when the antenna installation

height is less than 2 meters from the roof of the building, provide a

mounting rack assembled at an angle frame to install the antenna. When

the antenna installation height is 2 meters or higher from the roof of the

building, provide a cylindrical radar mast to install the antenna. Consider

the convenience of the service staff who take care of installation,

maintenance, adjustment, and repair of the antenna by providing adequate

footholds to the mounting rack and the radar mast.

•When installing the antenna, select a location where there are the fewest

structural objects in the surrounding area so that false images which

interfere with target detection will not be generated by signal reflection from

other antennas, equipments, and cargos. Only as a guide, note that

structural objects should not exist within the range of the vertical beam

width (Fig.1-4).

Vertical beam width of X-band Radar Antenna: Approx. 20°(±10.0°when

the height of the radiating section is 0°).

•When installing two or more antennas, antennas 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 antennas do not

enter each other's vertical beam width range.

Fig.1-5 Installing two or more antennas

•To avoid interference with other equipment and to prevent radio noise from

generating, do not place the VHF antenna, AIS/GPS antenna, and

VSAT/INMARSAT's dome within the range of the vertical beam width.

* If there is a concern that structural objects existing within the vertical beam

width may generate false images, 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 antenna 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 Antenna unit,

the false echo may appear. The sector blank function is effective to

reduce the signal reflection from the structural objects. Because of it can

stop transmission. Therefore, it may reduce the false echo appearance.

Note: 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 surveillance area.

* The above procedures for selecting an antenna installation position are

described based on the radar's antenna. Comprehensively select the

antenna position by considering other antennas' installation procedure

manual, building tower mast structure, strength of the selected position,

and vibration.

3) Confirmation during test run

7ZPRR0001

If the antenna vibrates a lot during test run, try to reduce or prevent

vibration by reinforcing the antenna mount base or using wire stays

attached to the radar mast.

4) Others

•The design of the mounting platform for the antenna should take into

account the vibration requirements defined by IEC 60945.

•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.

•Crossing of cables should be done at right angles(90°) to minimize

magnetic field coupling.

•Eliminating the interference on frequencies used for marine

communications 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 antenna unit and display unit of the radar should not be run

parallel with the cables of radio equipment.

•Cable should not be exposed sharp bends.

•The grounding of equipment units should be carried out according to this

manual.

5) After installation

After you have completed the installation work, check and test the

installation work with customer(s) and confirm with each other.

2. Installation procedure

1) Precautions for transporting and storing the antenna

•An antenna is a heavy load. Be very careful about handling it.

•Do not allow the antenna fall on its side while it is stored or being installed.

•Do not apply rope to the antenna in the way that squeezes or deforms the

radiating section.

•When hoisting the antenna by a crane, do not hoist it by attaching a belt or

a rope only to the antenna's radiating section as shown in Fig.2-1.

•When lifting the antenna（Fig.2-2）:

Wrap a cloth around the antenna's support section located at the bottom of

the radiator, and then attach a belt to it to lift the antenna.

Fig.2-1 Improper way to hoist

Fig.2-2 Lifting the Antenna

2) Installation procedures

a) Maintain a flat level surface on which to install the antenna.

•Use sufficiently thick steel material and reinforcement material for the

antenna's installation surface (mount base) to reduce vibration and

impact. Keep the mount base flat and smooth.

•If there is a partial gap between the mount base and the antenna

chassis's legs, work on the installation surface so that it becomes flat

and smooth. If a gap exists and the antenna is tightly clamped, the

chassis will distort and become damaged by vibration.

b) Avoid using vibration-proof rubber and resin

•Do not insert an elastic body, such as vibration-proof rubber or resin,

between the mount base and the antenna chassis' legs. If rubber or resin

is inserted, the amplitude of vibration increases, resulting in the possibility

of damage to the antenna. Furthermore, if installation bolts become loose

due to deterioration of rubber or resin, the antenna may be damaged or fall

from its mount.

3) Installation and clamping method

a) Installation direction

•Installation should be done so that the cable gland side is oriented

accessibility by maintenance staffs.

b) Bolts, nuts and tightening torque to be used

•Use stainless steel bolts for the antenna and uniformly tighten all of the

bolts using double nuts for each bolt so that the antenna will not

become loose (Table 2-1).

•Although the length of the bolt will differ according to the thickness of

the mount base, use a bolt long enough so that more than 4 millimeters

of thread protrudes beyond the double nuts after the double nuts have

been tightened.

c) Use of washer and corrosion-resistant measures

•At the location where a bolt's head or nut comes in contact with the

antenna chassis' legs and the mount base, insert a plain washer which

fits the bolt; and, at the location where the nut comes in contact with the

plain washer, insert a spring washer, and then securely tighten the nuts

(Fig.2-3).

•To prevent corrosion due to the contacts between different metals, such

as the antenna chassis' legs, installation surface, bolts, nuts, etc., cover

the bolt's head and nuts with sealant (Fig.2-3).

Fig.2-3 Use of washer and corrosion-resistant measures

d) Grounding and corrosion-resistant measures

•Ground the antenna chassis and the installation surface (hull) by using

an earth line. Apply sealant to the connection portion of the earth line

to prevent corrosion and damage by vibration (Fig.2-4).
