WARNING
Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard
The radar antenna sends the electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy. This energy can
be dangerous to you, especially on your eyes. Do not look at the radiator or near the
antenna when the antenna is rotating.
The distances at which RF radiation levels of 100 W/m 2 , 50 W/m
2
and 10 W/m 2 exist are
shown in the table.
DO NOT go near more than 12.7m (Safety standard is 10 W/m 2 ).
NOTE: The value is applied for being installed in the public space. And it is defined on human
body surface over any 6-minutes period with the flux density averaged from the measurement.

WARNING
Do not open the radome.
Electrical shock can occur. Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment.
Wear a hard hat and safety belt when mounting the Antenna
Unit.
Serious injury or death can result if someone falls from the radar antenna.
Do not use any other power except 100 to 240 VAC.
Connection of an incorrect power supply can cause fire or damage the equipment.
Turn off the power immediately if water leaks into the
equipment or smoke or fire is coming from the equipment.
Failure to turn off the equipment can cause fire or electrical shock.
Do not operate the equipment with wet hands.
Electrical shock can occur.
Do not disassemble or modify the equipment.
Fire or electrical shock can occur.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The user and installer must read the appropriate safety instructions before attempting to install
or operate the equipment.
ii
S2E-17-0055_A
Use only the specified power cable.
Fire or damage to the equipment can result if a different cable is used.
Use the power supply grounded certainly.
Electrical shock or defect of operation can occur.
When a thunderbolt is expected, do not approach a system or
do not touch a hand.
There is a possibility of receiving an electric shock.
A worker's safety is guaranteed although the measures which protect apparatus from
indirect lightning stroke serge are taken against this machine.
It is not a thing. Moreover, if a direct stroke is impressed, it may break down.
Attach securely protective earth to the unit.
The protective earth (grounding) is required to the AC power supply to prevent
electrical shock.
CAUTION
Do not put liquid-filled containers on the top of the equipment.
Fire or electrical shock can occur if a liquid spills into the equipment.
Establish space in the surroundings of apparatus as much as
possible.
It becomes a cause of performance degradation and failure.
Do not put any strong impact to LCD because of glass.
Serious injury may cause by broken glass.

Outline of System
This system observes the development of rain clouds, outputs the strength of precipitation, the speed of rain
clouds (Doppler speed), and observes phenomena of rainfall.
Features:
1. While installing antenna on a rooftop of building in urban area, it must be installed in the safety area covered
by lightning rod based on JIS A4201 and IEC61024-1.
2. Nothing should be surrounded around the antenna area.
Notice:
Do not go around the antenna area.
Safe distance:
- If H1 is taller than 1.6 meters, it is safe unless touch the antenna directory.
- If H1 is shorter than 1.6 meters, do not enter within a radius of 6 meters from the antenna.
Notice: It based on the standard of 2 meters tall person.
Safety zone around radar
e.g.: H2 (Height) = 2m,
d (Distance between center of the antenna and human) = 6m, θ =2° (Minimum azimuth is -2°)
The observation system consists of Antenna Unit (radome), Junction Unit (connection box), and Data
Processing Unit (indoor unit) as shown below.
1) Antenna Unit (radome)
The Antenna is stored in the radome turning and radiating the radio waves.
The radiated waves are backscattered by precipitation particles on the propagation path, return to the
antenna, and are processed by RF converter to transfer in the ATU.
2) Junction Unit (connection box)
This unit is a relay point of LAN cable (100Base-T or better) and switches the power of the ATU.
3) Data Processing Unit (indoor unit)
To display and record the data of weather observation.

specified in RainMap acquisition setting.
2) Record file name
Note 1: (*1) is applied only for scn version 3.
Note 2: scn version 3 is recorded under RainMap version 4.0 and later version. And the earlier RainMap
version records scn format version 2.
File name: Product number (xxxx) (*1) _ Scenario start time (YrMoDa _ HrMinSec) _ Elevation angle
number (## ) [deg] _ Tx pulse type (**) .scn
File name extension: .scn, .rhi, .sppi, .scnd
xxxx_YYYYMMDD_hhmmss_##_** .scn
e.g.: 0001_20130514_123400_01_00
Product number: alphanumeric
Scenario start time: UTC
Elevation angle number is numbered from the lowest angle as 01, 02, 03・・・
Tx pulse type
00: pulse modulation, 01: frequency modulation (pulse compression), 02: 00 + 01 (alternative)
*File format of “rhi”, “sppi”, and “scnd” are also same.
The case of SRHI, File name: Product number + Scenario start time (YrMoDaHrMinSec) + Serial order
(rhi)
Product number + Scenario start (YrMoDaHrMinSec) + Serial order
e.g..: 0001_20170714_140100_001.rhi
SRHI azimuth start to end point or end to start point will be scenario start YrMoDaHrMinSec. Serial order
will be changed by every azimuth (It will add serial order by moving upper and lower direction of elevation.
3) Data format
Note 1: (*1) is applied only for scn version 3.
Note 2: scn version 3 is recorded with RainMap version 4.0 and later version. And the earlier RainMap
version records scn format version 2.

3) Quantity in 30 days
7,776,052,800 byte x 30 days x 24 hrs. = approx. 5.6TB
Notice:
Basically data capacity can compress around 50 to 70%. However the compression ratio will be changed by
weather condition (Fine weather data will get smaller after compressed).
If the user would like to reduce the data size on actual condition, it has to decimate the data and reduce the
generated file size. It can decimate the data from the RainMap setting where to reduce the range of data point
and the time of sweeps per rotation.
csv file will generate each checked item of each scan for output csv.
All factors regardless of the checking will save each scan under the circumstances of csv output.

Additional explanation:
The weather radar has narrow beam called “pencil beam”. Both horizontal and vertical planes on beam width of
pencil beam are the same.
In order to take accurate data, it is necessary to scan hemi-sphere over the radar for changing its elevation
angle as shown in the Figure 1.
Figure 1. Basic volume scan
The radar, WR110 will output the data files for each elevation angle. When use eight elevation angles, eight
data files will be generated that will go up to 15.55784 MB, however it depends on settings.
Requirement of the data transfer speed will be decided by time span that will need to make one set of volume
scan data. Therefore this time span will depend on the scanning speed of antenna.
Hereinafter, this document will be presented from some examples of the scanning strategy and generating data
size by calculation. The minimum transfer speed requirement will be calculated using these total file size and the
time span per one volume scan.
