RADius 500/ 600 Transponder
1 INTRODUCTION
This manual contains the information necessary to install the
Kongsberg Seatex RADius Transponder (500/ 600) used against
the RADius 1000 system on a vessel.
RADius represents a new way of utilising technology in short
range and direction monitoring, and is mainly used in operations
where increased safety is crucial, like when controlling or
assisting automatic dynamic positioning (DP) of a vessel.
The RADius system is designed to operate close by structures
and other vessels and uses identifiable transponders to minimize
the risk of tracking false radar echoes. The system is capable of
detecting and measuring the distance to transponders within the
range of up to 1000 metres.
Installation of the other components of the RADius 1000 system
is not part of this manual, but is described in separate
installation manuals.
Caution Unless stated otherwise, all mounting equipment such as bolts,
screws, nuts, washers, etc., referred to within this document
are to be supplied by yard/customer.
