The MRS-1000 radar system equipment
included in the delivery set is installed both
outdoors and indoors.
Installed outdoors are: radar (antenna unit
MRS-1000-AU, rotation unit MRS-1000-
RU) and communication cable MRS-1000-
СС interconnecting the rotation unit and
communication unit.
Installed indoors are: communication unit
MRS-1000-СU, power cables as well as
Ethernet cable providing intercommunication
of these units.
CAUTION!
The antenna unit and rotation unit are
designed for operation under ambient
air temperature conditions varying
from minus 40°С to plus 55°С, while the
communication unit from minus 10°С to
plus 40°С.

The MRS-1000 radar system may only be oper-
ated by employees who have read and under-
stood this installaon manual, as well as the
Safety Rules for Operaon of Powered Electri-
cal Equipment.
Standard common tools should be used to
install and maintain the radar.
The outdoor antenna post-mounted radar may
only be installed by personnel authorized to
work at a height of over 2 meters.
The personnel must ensure proper grounding
of all system components (both outdoor and
indoor ones) before commencing any work.
NO PERSONNEL SHALL BE ALLOWED TO
REMAIN IN THE NEAR VICINITY OF THE
SYSTEM’S ANTENNA UNIT WHEN THE
TRANSMITTER IS SWITCHED ON AND
WORKING ON AIR!
WHEN THE SYSTEM IS ON, IT IS FORBIDDEN TO:
• OPEN ITS COMPONENTS OR REPLACE
POWER SUPPLY UNITS;
• DISCONNECT OR RECONNECT COMMU-
NICATION OR POWER CABLES;
• USING MEASURING INSTRUMENTS AND
ACCESSORIES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN
DULY CERTIFIED.
PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY MEASURES
!

6
Do the following before the installation:
• Open the package and remove the
system components.
• Visually inspect the station components
for any mechanical damage.
• Read this installation manual.
Choosing the installation site
When determining an optimal radar placement
following should be taken in account:
• unobstructed view on the surveilance
zone;
• radar elevation above ground;
• proximity of large-scale EM-reflectors,
i.e. buildings, freight vehicles, airplanes,
other large metal objects.
The radar should be installed where it can
perform an unobstructed surveilance of the
designated zone.

The antenna sweep radius is 1 m

Since no ideal visibility can be achieved for the
whole radar-controlled area, the installation
site should be chosen to maximize coverage
area. Landscape shape, vegetation seasonal
variations, possible interference from land
vehicles, etc. should be taken into account.
Wildlife, vegetation and weather conditions
are also a factor. Shrubs and trees can interfere
with any radar.

MAKE SURE NOTHING OBSTRUCTS
ANTENNA UNIT ROTATION WHEN
INSTALLING RADAR.
!
To avoid any ghost targets and directional
pattern distortion due to rereflection, it is good
to install radar clear off of planar reflectors
(buildings, fences, large vehicles, other metal
surfaces) at right angle to radar beam.
INSTALLATION

Presence of powerful EM sources in radar
directional pattern should be avoided if
possible: other radars (closer than 200 m),
relay stations antennas. etc.
i
Radar elevation is determined by unobstructed
view on the surveilance zone and types of
targets to be detected. Radar proximity to the
ground leads to lower sensibility due to strong
reflections from the ground and to lower view
distance. On the other hand, excess radar
elevation will result in an uncovered area of
ground level.
Optimal elevation of transceiver is 5 to 10
meters above ground.
Installation site must be a rigid platform
with six bores, identical to fastener holes of
MRS-1000-RU. The platform should be pole-
mounted and should not exceed ±5° from
horizontal. The surrounding site should be fall-
safe for personnel to mount and dismout the
radar.

INSTALLATION
Fasten the rotaon unit rmly using six M8
screws.
Connect the grounding cable to the grounding
screw.
Place the antenna unit onto the rotaon
unit carefully (be sure not to damage the
connector) and fasten it with four M8 screws.

WARNING!
The minimum cable bending radius must
be at least ve mes the diameter of the
cable. The cables must be protected from
heat and mechanical damage.
WARNING!
Try to avoid laying the interface cable close
to other onboard electrical equipment in
order to reduce electrical interference.
