This is the Technical and User Manual for the Radian Motion Sensor (Attitude

and Heading Reference System) manufactured by Sonardyne International Lim-

ited. It provides important information concerning the installation and use of the

hardware, and offers advice on how to use Radian safely and effectively.

Electronic manual This manual is supplied electronically as a PDF file, which allows easy navigation

among related topics through hyperlinks, and supports the ability to search for

words, optionally using advanced features such as ‘word stemming’ and ‘sounds

like’. The manual also includes a more conventional index and table of contents.

If required, you can print any part of the manual. However, you cannot select,

copy, or change any part of it. Copyright in this manual remains with Sonardyne

International Limited at all times.

Section 1 is about this manual and explains what it contains, who should read it,

and how to use it. Section 1 also explains the conventions used throughout this

manual.

Section 2 "Radian Overview" begins on page 4

Section 2 explains briefly what Radian is and what it does, and provides some ex-

ample applications where Radian can be used effectively. It also includes some

important cautionary notices and precautions that you must read before you un-

pack and install Radian.

Section 3 "Quick Start Guide" begins on page 8

Section 3 includes the basic information you need to begin using Radian as quickly

Note

Section 6 "Magnetic Calibration" begins on page 29

Radian uses an internal earth magnetic field sensor, called a flux gate, to detect

the earth’s magnetic field so that it can deliver measurements of magnetic head-

ing.

The simple self-calibration procedure described section 6 allows Radian to meas-

ure and compensate for any static hard iron magnetic effects that would otherwise

introduce errors into its heading measurements.

Section 7 "Data Output Formats" begins on page 34

Section 7 describes the data output format that Radian uses to supply digital meas-

urements of heading, roll and pitch to receiving equipment.

2.2 Description

Fig 1 Radian AHRS

Radian is a versatile Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) in a small,

300m or 3000m depth-rated pressure housing suitable for use in surface and sub-

surface marine applications.

It uses data supplied by three-axis arrays of solid state linear accelerometers, rate-

of-turn gyros, and earth magnetic field sensors to calculate and output measure-

ments of gyro-compensated magnetic heading, pitch, roll, heave, rate of turn, and

acceleration.

Embedded high-performance processing ensures Radian can continue to deliver

high output rates, even in dynamic environments.

Radian is fully compatible with Sonardyne’s sub-sea positioning systems.
