FIRST AID INSTRUCTIONS

1. SWITCH OFF. If this is not possible, PROTECT YOURSELF with dry insulating
material and pull the victim clear of the conductor. DO NOT TOUCH THE VICTIM
WITH YOUR BARE HANDS until he is clear of the conductor, but DO NOT
WASTE TIME.
2. (a) Place the victim in the supine position.
(b) Keep the air passages clear by turning the head to one side, opening the
patient’s mouth and clearing it of water, saline, mucus or blood, a lot of which
might have accumulated in the back of the throat (fig.1).

3. If the jaw is rigid try to force the mouth open by pressure on the gum behind the
last molar tooth of the lower jaw. When the upper air passage are thus cleared,
tilt the head backward and force the jaw forwards from the angles of the jaw in
front of the ears. This would prevent mechanical obstructions to the upper air
passage (fig.2-3).

User Handbook
LARSEN & TOUBRO LIMITED Mobile Platform for 3DSR (ROHINI)

4. (a) Then hold the chin up and forward with one hand and pinch the nostrils of the
victim with the other (fig.4).
(b) Take a very deep breath and apply your mouth to that of the victim and blow
into his mouth, until the chest of the victim moves up indicating filling of lungs.
(NEVER ALLOW THE CHIN TO SAG.) (fig.4).

5. When the chest has moved up, withdraw your mouth and allow the chest to slink
back.
REPEAT this process every three to four seconds until the victim begins to
breathe again or until he is taken over by a medical attendant. This method can
be continued in an ambulance during transit of the patient from the site of
accident to the nearest medical center.

HAVE SOMEONE ELSE SEND FOR A DOCTOR.

KEEP PATIENT WARM AND LOOSEN HIS CLOTHING.

DO NOT GIVE LIQUIDS UNTIL THE PATIENT IS CONSCIOUS.

[1] INTRODUCTION
ROHINI is designed to play the role of medium range surveillance radar
mounted on a mobile platform. The antenna is rotated mechanically in
azimuth to provide for coverage of 360° this is achieved by rotating the
antenna at two different speeds of 7.5 rpm and 15 rpm. To have good all
terrain mobility, the radar is configured on a TATRA VVL8x8 vehicle. The
design incorporates necessary features to ensure the transportation by IL-
76 class aircraft. The power supply is from a Mobile Power Source of 2 x
125kVA generators.
The mobile Platform for 3D- Surveillance Radar (3DSR), ROHINI is
designed and manufactured to be fitted on a TATRA VVL vehicle. Figure

[2] PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION


[2.1] Principle of Operation for Mobile Platform for Radar ROHINI
This section describes the functions of various sub assemblies in the
ROHINI radar.
[2.1.1] TATRA Vehicle:
TATRA VVL 8X8 chassis is used for road transportation of the platform.
Vehicle has two flag post & one ladder. Departure angle should not less
than 28º.
[2.1.2] Sub-Container Frame:
The sub-container frame enables the entire radar system to be mounted
on the mobile vehicle chassis. The sub-container frame provides sufficient
elevation for palette from the ground and also sufficient bump clearance.
The sub-container frame is provided with four container-fitting bolts
according to ISO 1C standard. The bolts with respective container fitting
sockets enable “container type” connection of the platform with the
chassis. The sub-container frame is fixed to the chassis using screw
stays.

Rotary frame support the entire rotating element driven by the azimuth
drive and also houses mechanism for deploying the primary antenna. The
rotary plate has an octagon shape at base center, which cater for slewing
ring and the rotary joint location and bolting. The frame provides precision-
machined supports for primary antenna elevating mechanism and
accessories. The frame is strong enough to take wind load condition such
that the angular tilt is within the specified limit. A pair of ball screw driven
by a high accuracy and low backless ganged drive, actuate the slider. The
pivot points and other interfaces with the antenna used for the
mechanism.

[2.1.4.1] Antenna Deployment:
The primary antenna can be deployed in angles varying from 11º to 16º
(with respect to vertical in steps of 0.5º) the antenna unfolding and folding
mechanism is an electrically operated system. Rotating ball screw
mechanism driven by a single motor effects the change of the main
antenna tilt angle. However the continuous change in tilt angle from 11° to
16° is indicated with a display unit.

Supply for Rohini 3D Radar is taken through Power Supply panel (PSP-1),
which is located on left hand side of the door of (as shown in Figure No.
15 above). There are two input supply connectors through which 3Φ,
400V, 50 HZ system supply feed to PSP-1, named as DG Supply & UPS
Supply. From Socket supply is taken to incoming isolator Circuit Breaker
& from MCB to phase sequence monitor circuit. If the Ph sequence is ok
the supply is switched to further distributed to all the sub-systems through
their individual MCBs.
Distribution of power supply through MCBs is as follows:
♦ MCB1 & MCB2: - Air Conditioner units 1 & 2 respectively.
♦ MCB3: - Hydraulic Power Pack.
♦ MCB4: - Liquid Cooling Unit (LCU)
♦ MCB5: - Auxiliary Supplying 230V, 15A.
In the input supply line phase sequence monitor is connected which is
identifying the corrected phase sequence of the incoming supply & give
the indication accordingly. You can see the phase sequence indicator on
the inner panel of the PSP-1 mounted near voltmeter one for DG supply &
one for UPS supply. If Phase sequence of the incoming power supply is
not proper then it will not allow the main Contactor to turn ON. On the
panel there are two voltmeters mounted one for DG supply & one for UPS
supply which gives voltage reading of the incoming supply. These
voltmeters can display line to Line & line to Neutral voltages of all three
phases. Below voltmeter there are three indicators, which gives indication
when the incoming supply is ON.

The power supply for all electronic units is distributed from this power
supply unit. This DC Supply Unit requires 1ph, 230V AC supply as an
input, which is taken from Power Supply Panel 2 (PSP2). The 28V output
of this DC Power Supply is distributed to sub-systems through 5 MCBs as
stated below from left to right on the unit-
