RADius 1000

S stem description
RADius is developed for applications in need of a robust and reliable relative positioning
system. Many applications can benefit from RADius in operations, as there are different
types of retroreflective transponders, and different types of installation of the sensor
heads, (Interrogators).
The implementation is fully solid state and based on measurement of reflected radar
signals from a number of passive transponders in the nearby area. Each reflected signal
is mixed with a unique ID to separate different targets from each other. Advanced signal
processing allows simultaneous and continuous measurements to five transponders.
RADius is designed for multiple users leveraging the same transponders simultaneously.
RADius can be deployed as an omnidirectional system using four sensor heads, which
can be placed on suitable locations on the vessel dependent on the construction and
operation. This provides full 360° signal acquisition as well as avoidance of blind angles
as there will be a sensor head at a receiving angle to transponders at all times, regardless
of the vessels relative position to the RADius transponder.
Application software makes configuration and monitoring of the RADius operation easy
and efficient, and interfaces to remote systems such as dynamic positioning systems, can
either be serial line or Ethernet based. RADius is designed to fill the need specified by
IMO for DP (Dynamic Positioning) Class 2 vessels.
RADius is capable of detecting and measuring accurate range and bearing to any
transponder within the range of up to 550 metres (dependent on the targets transponders).
The direction from the interrogator to each transponder is accurately determined by
the use of interferometric methods. Due to use of open standards, deployment of the
operator interface is very flexible.

S stem diagram

license issued by the relevant national authorities. The owner and user of the equipment
are responsible for obtaining such a license prior to switching the product ON. It may be
required to switch the product OFF when the product is brought close to shore (closer
than 12 NM).

et ork securit
Equipment manufactured by Kongsberg Seatex AS is frequently connected to local
area networks (LAN). Connecting any computer to a network will always expose the
data on that computer to all other computers connected to the same network. Several
threats may immediately occur:
• Remote computers can read the data.
• Remote computers can change the data.
• Remote computers can change the behaviour of the computer, for example by
installing unwanted software.
Usually, two parameters are used to define the threat level:
1 The likelihood that any remote connection will do any of the above.
2 The damage done if a remote connection succeeds doing this.

14 RAD-D-IST_01/2.0
 RADius 1000

Because Kongsberg Seatex AS has no information regarding the complete system

installation at a location, we can not estimate the threat level and the need for network
security. For this reason, we can not accept responsibility for network security. Systems
provided by Kongsberg Seatex AS are regarded as stand-alone offline systems, even
though they may be connected to a network for sensor interfaces and/or data distribution.
ote
No network safety applications are installed on any Kongsberg Seatex computers. The
computers are thus not protected against viruses, malware or unintentional access from
external users.

Securing the system itself has no meaning unless there is a policy in place that secures all
computers in the network. This policy must include physical access by trained and trusted
users. The customer/end user of the system will always be in charge of defining and
implementing a security policy, and providing the relevant network security applications.
ote
Kongsberg Seatex AS will not accept any responsibility for errors and/or damages
caused by unauthorized use or access to the product.

Determining location of s stem parts

rocessing Unit location
When installing the Processing Unit, note the following:

16 RAD-D-IST_01/2.0
 Preparations

• The unit is designed for indoor installation. Avoid locations with heavy vibrations,
strong electronic fields (close to transformers), excessive heat.
• The unit has an internal fan and requires free airflow from the rear and out to the sides.
It is recommended that ventilation or air conditioning is provided in order to keep
the ambient operating temperature around +20 °C. The best location is typically in
the instrument room or on the bridge mounted on 19–inch rails in a rack or console
with good ventilation.
• It is recommended that the area around the unit is kept free from dust and static
electricity.
• All connections to the unit are on the rear side and available space for cable
connections and service must be provided.

RADius po er suppl location

When installing the RADius power supply, consider the following:
• The power supply is mounted in a 19–inch cabinet or rack.
• The power supply is designed for indoor installation and should not be exposed to
heavy vibrations, transformers or similar.
• The unit has an internal fan and requires free airflow from the side and out to the rear.
It is recommended that ventilation or air conditioning is provided in order to keep the
ambient operating temperature around +20 °C. The best location is typically in the
instrument room or on the bridge mounted into a 19-inch rack with good ventilation.
• It is recommended to mount the power supply high up in the cabinet due to heat
dispatch. A 1U space above the power supply is strongly recommended.
• It is recommended that the area around the power supply is kept free from dust and
static electricity.
• All connections to the power supply are on the rear side and available space for cable
connections and service must be provided.

Mains and data distribution unit location

When installing the Mains and data distribution unit, consider the following:
• The Mains and data distribution unit is mounted in a 19-inch cabinet or rack.
• Mount the bracket close to the RADius power supply and the Processing Unit.
• Mount the bracket as high as possible at the rear of the cabinet or rack. Remember to
make space for cable entry from above.
• Avoid mounting the Mains and data distribution unit directly behind the Processing
Unit.

Monitor location
For location of the table mounted monitor, consider the following:

RAD-D-IST_01/2.0 17
Kongsberg RADius

• The unit is designed for installation in an indoor environment and for operation within
the temperature range. The best location is typically on a table in the instrument
room or on the bridge.
• The monitor should be mounted close to the Processing Unit.
• The monitor must be located and oriented in such a way that it is easy to see for
the vessel operator.
• It is recommended that the area around the monitor is kept free from dust and static
electricity.
• It is recommended to use a standard VGA monitor or VGA compatible monitor.

Interrogator Unit location

For location of the interrogator unit(s), consider the following:
• The sector which the Interrogator Unit is supposed to cover. The Interrogator Unit has
an operating sector of 90 degrees in both vertical and horizontal direction.
• The longest interrogator axis must be horizontally oriented for the RADius system to
be able to track transponders.

A This axis must be horizontal.

• The Interrogator Unit should be located high above sea level.
• The Interrogator Unit should not be mounted close to the ship side or other large metal
surfaces. This is to avoid multipath effects.
• The Interrogator Unit should not be mounted in the vicinity of other radio equipment
or in the beam of the S/X band radar.
• The Interrogator Unit needs free line of sight to the Transponders.
• The Interrogator Unit should be mounted to a rigid 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.
If more than one interrogator unit is mounted on the same site, the following applies:
• If two or more interrogator units are mounted on the same mast or pole, the vertical
separation between the units shall be at least 1.5 metres.
• If two or more interrogator units are mounted on the same rail, the horizontal
separation shall be at least 3 metres.
• If two or more interrogator units are mounted on the same mast, pole or rail, the
interrogator units shall not have the same orientation. An orientation separation of at
least 45° is recommended.

18 RAD-D-IST_01/2.0
 Preparations

A typical dual interrogator solution

that will cover a 180-degree sector
is illustrated. Remember that there
must be vertical separation of at least
1.5 metres between the interrogators.
Dual interrogator mounting is similar
to single interrogator solutions.
ote
Interrogators do not have to be
mounted at the same location, but
could be displaced from each other.

When you operate with dual interrogators it is recommended to orient the interrogator
units so that the coverage sectors have an overlap. This will ensure that transponders are
not lost when turning the vessel from one side to the other.

A Sufficient overlap between interrogator coverage sectors.

B No overlap between interrogator coverage sectors.

Interrogator unction box location

For location of the Interrogator junction box, consider the following:
• It should be placed within 3 metres of the Interrogator Unit as the Interrogator Unit
cables are 3 metres long.
• A logical location would be on the same railing as the Interrogator Unit.

Cabinet re uirements
The RADius system can be delivered with or without a cabinet. If the product is
delivered with a cabinet, the cabinet components are pre-installed in the cabinet. If the
product is delivered without a cabinet with pre-installed components, the Processing
Unit, RADius power supply and Mains and data distribution unit must be installed in a
cabinet which is already in place on site. Consider the following to determine whether
your cabinet is suitable for the installation.
• The cabinet must be securely mounted to the floor.
• The cabinet must be a standard 19–inch cabinet.
• The minimum depth of the cabinet must be 600 mm.
• The cabinet should have air inlet on top and bottom or ventilation splits on the sides.
The Unit has ventilation on the sides. Forced ventilation may be required if the
cabinet contains several electronic modules.
• The cabinet must be mounted in such a way that the minimum cable bends (on the
rear side) are not exceeded.
• The cabinet must be connected to a grounded outlet.

eneral safet rules

Indoor installation

Mounting t e s stem units in a rack

The Processing Unit, the RADius power supply and the Mains and data distribution unit
shall be mounted in a 19–inch rack or cabinet with cabling and interfaces.

Context
A cable strain relief bracket is delivered. This bracket allows for flexibility in the cables
without putting stress on the vulnerable points on the cables.
Important
The strain relief bracket must be grounded to the grounding point on the Mains and
data distribution unit.

ote
The Processing Unit and RADius power supply have a plastic film on top, and may
have one underneath, to protect from transport scratches. This film must be removed
before operation as the plastic film will reduce the heat transfer from the units and thus
cause temperature increase inside the units.

Procedure
1 Remove any plastic film from the Processing Unit and RADius power supply.
2 Place the Processing Unit and the RADius power supply on rails or shelves in the
19–inch cabinet.
This is to ensure that the units are supported at the rear.
3 Fasten the units with four screws in the front.
Minimum 10 cm free space is needed behind the units for connection of cables.
4 Place the Mains and data distribution unit at the rear of the cabinet. Preferably as
high as possible and not directly behind the Processing Unit.
5 The RADius power supply chassis, the Processing Unit and the Mains and data
distribution unit must be grounded to vessel ground.
6 Place the cable strain relief bracket at the rear of the cabinet, flush with the bottom
of the Processing Unit.

Creating a backup of t e con guration

It can be useful to make a copy of the configuration in case you should need to retrieve
the original settings later. The Data Export tool will copy the software configuration to a
disk based archive file or to a USB flash drive.
For a complete backup of the entire system, see System backup and restore on page 55.

Prerequisites
A USB flash drive is needed as a storage device.

Procedure
1 Insert a USB flash drive into the Processing Unit with the RADius operator software.
2 Select the System menu button in the upper right corner of the Main view.
3 Select the Tools menu Data Export to open the Data Export tool.

4 Select the Customize button to open the file selection and select Configuration.

Result
The files are zipped and placed on the USB flash drive inside a folder named
DataExport.

Verif ing t at t e RADius s stem is operable

When the RADius system configuration is completed you must verify that the RADius
system is operable. This functional test is a part of the RADius Commissioning Test
Procedure (CTP) which is carried out after installation. You need a test transponder unit
to be able to verify that the RADius system is operable.
Please refer to the Commissioning Test Procedure (CTP) – RADius 1000.

 System backup and restore

S stem backup and restore

When the installation has been verified, we recommend performing a system backup
by updating the backup stick delivered with the product. The backup stick contains a
full image of the installed system.
The backup stick is a USB flash drive with a bootable Linux partition that starts the
Secure Backup and Restore tool (SBR).
ote
If the delivered backup stick can not be located, it is recommended to create a new
backup stick. A USB flash drive with 8 GB capacity is required to create a backup stick.
The backup process is described in Creating a backup stick on page 55. If the system
suffers from a disk failure and the backup stick is not available, follow the procedure
described in Preparing a backup stick on page 58.

Creating a backup stick

The following procedure describes how to update or create a system backup. The system
backup is stored locally on the unit’s system disk and on a backup stick.
ote
The USB ports on the system are not compatible with USB 3 devices.

RS-422 A and signal de nition

According to the following standard the signal state definitions are:
• IEC 61162-1. The idle, marking, logical 1, OFF or stop bit states are defined by a
negative voltage on line A with respect to line B. The active, spacing, logical 0, ON
or start bit states are defined by a positive voltage on line A with respect to line B.

4. Note that VGA output connector on Processing Unit provides + 5 V on pin 9 of VGA connector. When
KVM switches are used this could cause a problem, if so, use a VGA cable without pin 9 connected.

RAD-D-IST_01/2.0 81
Kongsberg RADius

It should be noted that the above A with respect to B levels are inverted from the
voltage input/output requirements of standard UARTs and that many line drivers
and receivers provide a logic inversion.

Figure 3 Principle drawing for talker and listener circuits

The RS–422 serial ports on the Processing Unit have galvanic isolation on both talker
(transmit -TX) and listener (receive -RX). Interface circuits are fed by a DC/DC
converter with galvanic isolation (transformer) and signal isolation is provided by
optocouplers type HPCL 06. Transmitter/receiver data circuits are of type LTC491. The
transmit part may feed up to 32 listeners if the minimum DC load is above 60 Ohm. The
receiver -RX termination in the Processing Unit (100 R) is switched on off by FW/SW.
ote
With reference to the table showing the pin layout for the serial ports on the rear panel
screw terminals, note that the separate GND (ground) pin for each port is isolated from
the chassis and shall act as a common signal intended to be connected between the talker
(-TX) and the listener side (RX) of other equipment, for example the corresponding
isolated GND (ground) pin or common pin. The purpose of the common signal is to
increase the reliability of the hardware transmission. It must not be connected to the
chassis or the cable screen. This applies to both sides of a connection. The cable screen
shall be connected to the equipment chassis on one side only, preferably talker side, -TX.

To connect the unit network, use twisted pair (TP) cable with RJ-45 connectors.
To comply with the IEC 60945 standard, shielded (screened) cable has to be used.
Recommended cable type is CAT-5e. Category 5e cable is an enhanced version of
Category 5 that adheres to more stringent standards. It is capable of transmitting data at
speeds of up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gigabit per second). The maximum length of the cable
which can be used is 100 metres (328 ft).
