 Instruction manual

1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The RADius 700X Low Power Transponder is a passive radar reflector. Each
transponder returns a unique ID code to the RADius Interrogator (transmitter/receiver).
This allows for radar based measurements of the distance and bearing between the
transponder and an Interrogator, which is typically located on a vessel.

1.1 System description

RADius is developed for applications in need of a robust and reliable relative
positioning system. RADius consists of one or several interrogators typically located on
a moving vessel and one or several transponders which are deployed on the target the
vessel will approach. The RADius system measures the distance and bearing between
the interrogators on the moving vessel and the transponders. All transponders deployed
on the target have unique identities, thus multiple transponders can be tracked
simultaneously. This improves the integrity and availability of the system. For general
information about the RADius system see reference [1].

1.2 System components

The two main parts of the RADius 700X Transponder are:

1. The transponder electronic unit which is located behind a plastic cover. This cover
is transparent to the radio frequency used.

2. The battery box which contains the encapsulated and current limited battery as the
energy source.

In addition the following parts are required for a complete transponder:

 Power cable from battery to electronic unit
 Mechanical mounting bracket

1.3 Power source

The RADius 700X Transponder is powered by a battery and has no wired connection to
other equipment. The energy source is a primary cell D-size Lithium battery (type
Thionyl Chloride, IEC 60086-1 type E). The battery is encapsulated EX m (moulded),
and provided with an infallible current limiting resistor inside the moulding. The
resistor is metal film type and resistance value is 390 R. The battery box is mounted in
an EX e approved connection box which is rated IP 66. See Figure 3.
The lifetime of the 19 Ah battery is approximately 18 monts at normal operating
conditions (assumed the use of low band TID).
The connection between the battery box and the transponder electronic unit is through a
cable. IP 66 rated cable glands are provided on both the battery box and the electronic
unit.

3 INSTALLATION
This chapter covers installation of the RADius 700X transponder and information on
equipment required for a safe installation.

The installation includes:

1. Finding a suitable location for the RADius 700X

2. Setting the TID code
3. Powering up the RADius 700X
4. Checking the TID cable
5. Mounting of RADius 700X
6. Connecting ground cable
7. Tightening of cable glands
8. Operational verification

Note! For general information about the installation site please refer to the
written instructions “Explosion Protection Document” which shall be
located on site for work in hazardous areas.

Note! Installers that carry out work in hazardous areas are required to be
competent or be working under the supervision of a registered electrical
installer who is competent. The requirement for competency is further
reinforced in the main standard used for hazardous area electrical
installation work.

It is recommended that unless the relevant expertise and documents are held, or the
work is to be done under supervision of an electrical worker experienced in hazardous
area electrical work, electrical workers should avoid carrying out work involving a
hazardous area electrical installation.

3.1 Equipment required for safe installation

Prior to installation care should be taken that the proper equipment is used to ensure a
safe installation.

3.1.1 Clothing
Installation personnel must be provided with suitable work clothes which cannot create
sufficient static to ignite.

RAD-D-EXER_00 / rev. 2 11
RADius 700X

3.1.2 Equipment
ATEX 100a certified gas alarm may be required.

3.1.3 Tools – mounting

Care should be taken and only tools that can be safely used in zone 1 shall be used.
Consult site responsible for details.

3.2 Installation of RADius 700X in Zone 1

After finding the most suitable location for the RADius 700X on the platform/vessel,
see section 3.2.4.1, the cable from the battery box to the transponder must be inserted
before the transponder unit is physically mounted to a mast or the railing. The TID code
must be set before checking that the transponder operates properly. See page VI for
zone information.

3.2.1 Transponder ID Code

Each transponder working against one Interrogator must have a unique Transponder
Identification Code. The factory setting is default 150 but can be changed as required.
See Table 1 TID settings. Each unit shall be labelled with its Transponder ID (TID).

Note! Since the TID code is intended to be altered by the installers, the default
code is not written on the equipment label. Therefore the actual code
selected must be recorded with a waterproof marker on the label before the
unit is put into operation.

3.2.1.1 Setting of TID code on RADius 700X

Table 1 TID settings

Only codes from 150 to 208 can be used. We recommend a TID spacing of 10 between
each Transponder. For example: 152, 162, 172.
Check the identification code (TID). Transponders with the same ID code shall not be
located on the same side of a vessel/platform. See [2] for reference.

Using the same ID code for two transponders on the

WARNING
same side of the vessel will invalidate angle and
distance measurements.

3.2.2 Power-up of RADius 700X

When the transponder is shipped, the connection between the battery and the electronic
circuit board is "open". It is therefore necessary to open the lid of the battery box and
insert the cable from the transponder electronics.

Figure 10 Battery box with connection board

Just before the equipment is brought out to its final installation site in the EX zone, we
recommend to power-up the transponder by connecting the battery cable (see ) to the J3
connector on the connection board. This will activate the transponder. Assuming that
there is an Interrogator within the tracking range, a basic functional test can thus be
possible to perform.

This is done as follows:

 Open the cover of the battery box.
 Plug the loose cable into the open connector as shown in Figure 11.

Do not reverse the polarity!

Figure 15 Vertical and horizontal rail mounting

Avoid excessive bending and stressing of the cable between the battery box and the
transponder electronic unit. Bending radius of the cable should be kept at minimum 7
cm.

Note! Since there is no external cabling to the RADius 700X unit, separation
between intrinsically safe circuits and non-intrinsically safe circuits is not
an issue.

3.2.5 Connection of ground cable

Connect the green/yellow ground wire to a metallic structure of the platform/vessel.
Ensure proper electrical connection.

Figure 16 Ground wire

3.2.6 Cable glands

To prevent possible ingress of water along the cable it is essential that the cable gland
nuts are properly fastened. Check that the glands are firmly mounted. Tighten if
necessary.

3.2.7 Operational check

After the system has been installed and powered up, the proper operation of the
transponder must be verified by making it visible to the Interrogator of a RADius 1000
system (which is located in a safe area – usually on an approaching vessel). The
Interrogator should be within tracking range and have a known distance and known
relative angle (bearing) from the RADius 700X Transponder. For the low power
transponder we recommend less than 500 m from the Interrogator (precision range).
It shall be verified that the system performs measurements of distance and bearing with
the specified accuracy.
See more information in [1] and [2].

by qualified/authorised personnel only.

4.1 Transponder maintenance

Maintenance of the RADius 700X consists of battery replacement, cable and terminals
inspection, transponder inspection and cleaning of front cover.

4.1.1 Battery replacement

The lifetime of the battery is expected to be approximately 18 months (when set to low
band TID, example TID 150 which is factory setting). Higher TID will give a small
increase in the current consumption.
The battery cannot be recharged and do not attempt to recharge it. A new battery must
be installed when the battery is depleted. The battery is labelled with the following:

DANGER!
BATTERY SHALL NOT BE RECHARGED.

Note! Only an EX approved IS battery with Kongsberg Seatex part ID RAD-E-

TBX_00 shall be installed (check that replacement unit is properly labelled
with part ID, batch number and serial number).
