Orientation
The I-series scanning radar sensors, cover 360 degrees whilst rotating. The zero point or 0
degree point is set, at factory, to lie on the opposite side of the radar to the connectors. See
Figure 9. All I-Series radar rotate in a clockwise direction, whether orientated as shown in
Figure 1 or inverted as shown in Figure 3.
It is always helpful when commissioning the radar if the encoder zero is aligned with the boom
or structure it’s to protect. For example, in Figure 3 the zero point should be directed towards
the end of the boom (with the connectors on the quay side of the radar). In this orientation,
objects on the left of the boom will appear on the left hand side of the commissioning interface,
and those physically on the right hand side of the boom will appear on the right of the interface.
