Chapter 2: Health & Safety warnings
2 Health & Safety warnings
When working on Kelvin Hughes equipment, operators, engineers and agents are expected to work
within the health and safety guidelines noted in the handbook, as issued by their respective employer
or as stated by site regulations, shipyard or vessel owner.
Risk assessments of a working area must be undertaken prior to commencement of any work and
must be regularly reviewed.
2.1 Hazards
ELECTRICALHAZARDS:
Some equipment does not have safety interlocks fitted.
Lethal single and three phase AC and DC voltages may be present when units are open
and exposed.
Before accessing any internal parts, ALL power sources to the equipment must be fully
isolated; this must include the isolation of all UPS supported supplies to the system.
MAINS VOLTAGES:
All Kelvin Hughes equipment is supplied with mains input voltage set for 220v, 50/60 Hz
ac unless otherwisestated on labels attached to the equipment.
WARNING: Some equipment contains materials which mayproduce toxic fumes if burnt.
Beryllium warning: The SharpEyeTMX and S band transceivers mounted within
the SBS-800 series are factory sealed units which contain no field serviceable
parts. The SharpEyeTMtransceivers must not be dismantled in the field as some
components within the factory sealed processor contain Beryllium which is
hazardous to health.
Class 1 laser product: There is a class 1 laser within the sealed SharpEye
transceiver processor which can represent a risk if the processor is
dismantled.
When fitted, the LAN fibre optic cable that connects to the SharpEye
transceiver and the to the MISM type 5 modules within the radar distribution
2.2 Antenna rotation warning
ANTENNA ROTATION SAFETY NOTICE:
When single and three-phase power is connected to the system and switched ON, the
antenna will rotate immediately regardless of the RUN command status.
TM
Use the antenna rotation keyswitch or man aloft safety switches to stop antenna rotation
in an emergency.

Chapter 2: Health & Safety warnings
2.3 Radiation hazards
Radiation hazard: non-ionising
Avoid exposure to the main beam of a stationary radar antenna.
Avoid standing closer than 2 metres from the central front face of the antenna.
Users of cardiac pacemakers should be aware of the possibility that radio frequency
transmissions can damage some devices or cause irregularities in their operation.
Anyone using such devices should understand the risks present before exposure.
2.4 Microwave radiation levels
The Council of the European Union Recommendation 1999/519/EC (Annex III table 2) specifies the
maximum RF non-ionising field strength(power density) safe range for human exposure averaged
over a six minute period as 10W/m2in a frequency band of 10 to 300GHz.
Calculations for all SBS-900 systems show that the rotating antenna safe distance is within the
antenna turning circle although KH do not recommend any personnel to be in close proximity to a
rotating antenna due to RF exposure and the high risk of injury that can be caused by a rotating
antenna.

The safe range for a non-rotating antenna is far greater due to the lack of averaging but this is not a
permitted operational mode and the system includes interlocks to prevent this mode of operation for a
prolonged period.
Note: 5m of waveguide is assumed.

Chapter 2: Health & Safety warnings
2.5 Working aloft
SAFETY ALOFT:
When working aloft or near any radar scanners, moving or RF radiating equipment, ALL
power sources to the platform and equipment must be fully isolated.
Before working aloft ensure someone in authority or at ground level knows of your
intentionsand ensure that suitable clear warnings are in place.
Ensure all meansof access aloft are secureand beware of wet or slippery ladder rungs
and working areas.
All working at height health and safety requirements and procedures, including the
inspection and use of personal protective equipment (PPE), must be adhered to at all
times as advised and required by your employer, site regulations, shipyard or vessel.
2.6 Man aloft switch/ antenna isolation.
Antenna rotation and transmission can be inhibited via a Man Aloft Switch (MAS) or an r<agXaaT IAAAeXXs keyswitch. These mechanisms can be used bya person who sees a potential hazard such as a
loose halyardand decides to protect the antenna.
When activated, the reason for loss of turning is detected by the system and is reported to the local
and remote users
Safety switches
The Antenna Rotation keyswitch is located on the door of the internally mounted
Radar DistributionUnit (RDU)
Antenna
Rotation
keyswitch
Man aloft
switch
(MAS)
The Man Aloft switch, Motor ON/ OFF and Antenna Rotation keyswitch form partof a safety current
loop. This safety loop is purely hardware (no software), when the current loop is opened, AC mains
supplies to the transceivers and antenna inverter are switch OFF by use of contactors.
The key for the RDU keyswitch is captive when set to Free (enable rotation) but
can be removed when the keyswitch is to OFF.
When in the OFF position all single and 3-phase AC power to the antenna and
transceiver is isolated thus stopping antenna rotation and transmission.
The key should be removed and retained by the person who intends to enter the
potentially hazardous volume of the rotating antenna.
The man aloft switch (MAS) is designed to be installed such that it is still viewable
for the person who is carrying out maintenance tasks.
Vb_h m_n ni nb_ •OFF jimcncih the transceiver/ gearbox is isolated from all single
and 3-phase AC power thus stoppingthe antenna rotation and transmission.
Kelvin Hughes recommends that the key switches noted above are used in conjunction with the man
aloft switch but also recommend that radar users carry out a safety assessment and risk mitigation
procedure in terms of interlocks prior to approving any work on the equipment.
Full details on isolatingthe systems from the AC supplies can be found in the planned maintenance
section of the relevant systems Operator & Maintenance handbook.

Chapter 5: Technical overview
K[Tec>lXn geTafVX\iXe
SharpEyeTMtransceiver technology radically departs from conventional marine navigation transceivers
through the transmission of low power RF pulses and application of pulse compression and Doppler
techniques. The technology benefits from the following:
' Solid state transmitter for high reliability ' Dynamic range of 126 dB (including sensitivity
time constant (STC) & pulse compressiongain)
' Digital pulse compression ' Minimum discernible signal (MDS) of
-125dBm
' Receiver noisefigure <5.5dB ' Internal monitoring, no external components
required to monitor operation
' Pulse Doppler processingfor improved rain
' Range discrimination: 7.5nm (24nm) and
and sea clutter rejection
Solid state technology: Solid state transistors obviate the need for a warm-up time. When the
Radar Distribution Unit is switched ON the SharpEyeTMis powered.
When a Run command is received by the transceiver, it is ready for
transmission within 40 seconds.
Output power: When transmitting, the amplifiers generate a nominal peak power of
170Watts with a maximum duty cycle of 13% at the transceiver
output flange.
System monitoring: Comprehensive built in test (BIT) facilities within the transceiver
provide on-line monitoring of the following parameters within the
transceiver:
' RF power ' Antenna system
' Temperature ' Receiver
' Power supplies
' Antenna rotation
SBS-900 Range:
Should the system detect a fault condition which could lead to early
failure of the transceiver, i.e. a high VSWR, then the transceiver
switches to a low power state which permits transmission to continue
in the short term. The built in test monitoring also ionjonm [ •Kiq QE

AC requirements
Single phase: Twoindependent sources of UPS supported, single phase, 115/ 230VAC supply are
connected to the RDU.
The AC voltages are fed to an AC-DC power supply via user accessible breakers
located within the RDU. The internal power supply provides all the DC power
requirements of the RDU.
Switched AC supply is sent from the RDU to the DTX-A7 transceiver enclosure.
3-phase: A 440VAC 3-phase input is fed via a user accessible breaker to an internal static
inverter. This generates and controls the three phase requirements of the turning
mechanism solution.
Caution: When the three phase supply is connected and switched ON, theinverter
unit is powered and sendsthree-phase voltages to the antenna motor which may
rotate immediately (see safety switches).
Safety switches: A normally closed safety current loop is provided for the serial connection of safety
switch contacts including an external Man Aloft switch.
Antenna rotation switch: An Antenna Rotationsafety keyswitch
is provided on the RDU andis part of the safety current loop. This
switch can beset to OFF, removed and retained by the
maintainerfor safety.
Man Aloft Switch (MAS): An externally mounted switch that can
be set to Free (rotate) or OFF.
When either the Antenna Rotation or Man Aloft switches are set
to OFF or if the safety current loop is broken/ open, the single and
3-phase AC supplies from the RDU to the transceiver enclose
and gearbox are isolated thereby stopping Antenna Rotation and
system transmission.

Transceiveroperational states
The following table shows the various operation states of the X or S-band SharpEyeTMtransceivers
within the DTX-A7 transceiver enclosure:
Operation state Description
OFF Power is not applied to the transceiver and it is switched OFF.
On completion of initialisation the transceiver switches to standby or, if any of
Initialise
Standby
the self-test checks fail, to fault state.
The system initialisation typically takes 30 to 40 seconds after which time the
system becomes available for operation.
In standby the transceiver establishes communication with the Radar
Distribution Unit and reports its status.
The transceiver receives and acts on commands from theRDU.
In Standby the antenna rotates but the system does not transmit.
Transmit
Degraded
(Low power)
Fault
When a RUN command is received from the Radar Distribution Unit and
azimuth and heading line signals are present, the SharpEyeTMtransmits.
The transceiver initially outputs at low power. The radar returns are then
processed enabling the VSWR to be checked without the risk of damage to the
transceiver.
If the VSWR is within limits then the transceiver automatically switches to full
power.
If the VSWR is high, indicating an antenna fault, a warning message is sent to
the Radar Distribution Unit and the transceiver enters the degraded Low
Power state.
The transceiver continuously runs background performance checks on forward
power, reverse power, receiver sensitivity and temperature. If any of these
parameters falls outside predetermined levels a warning message is sent to
the Radar Distribution Unit indicating the nature of the fault.
The transceiver continues to operate, but with reduced performanceand
functionality.
If the performance or functionality is degraded such that the transceiver cannot
operate it enters the fault state and a fault message is sent to the display
equipment.
The transceiver stops radiating RF and there is no video output to the Radar
Distribution Unit.
A spurious fault may be cleared by re-powering the equipment.
Communication
error
KH-1602-2 issue 1: Standard SBS900 Systems Operator & Maintenance Handbook
If communication is lost between the Radar Distribution Unit and the
SharpEyeTM, the RDU reboots the SharpEye leading to a potential 60 second
gap in coverage.

6.6.3.2 Range Mode
Within the Range mode menu, the transceiver instrument range can be selected between 24 and
48nm.
24nm: Limits the transceiver to an instrumented range of 24nm. This offers twice the range
discrimination of the 48nm range.
48nm: Limits the transceiver to an instrumentedrange of 48nm.
6.6.3.3 TX Power
The output power of the SharpEyeTMtransceiver can be switched between High (default) and Low.
High power: The SharpEyeTMtransceiver transmits at full power.
This is the recommendeddefault setting.
Low power: Low power is used in close waters or in a high clutter environment where a high
output power may produce excessive unwanted reflections from buildings, bridges
and vessels.
The transceiver will utilise the standard frame pattern but with output powerreduced
to less than 40W.
Caution: As a result of reduced output power, range performance will be reduced
and the system may not meet the expected operational detection performance.
When low power isselected, a low power status is automatically generated to advise
the operator that the system is operating at a reduced output power.

The level of Sea and Rain filtering can be adjusted between 000 (minimum) to 255 (maximum).
Sea: Filters the effect of sea clutter on returns.
Rain: Filters the effect of rain clutter on returns.
The levels are set usingthe + (decrease value) and , (increase value) buttons to produce the best
quality picture in the prevailing conditions.
Caution: Care should be exercised when adjusting Sea and Rain filters as reducing the
filter level can reduce signal returns from wanted / actual targets.

Transceiver operating states
The following table shows the various operation states of the SharpEyeTMtransceiver.
The antenna will rotate regardless of the transceiver state.
Operation state Description
OFF Power is not applied to the transceiver which is switched OFF.
On completion of initialisation the transceiver switches to standby or, if any of
Initialise
Standby
the self-test checks fail, to fault state.
The system initialisation typically takes 30 to 40 seconds after which time the
system becomes available for operation.
In standby the transceiver establishes communication with the Radar
Distribution Unit and reports its status.
The transceiver receives and acts on commands from the RDU.
In Standby the antenna rotates but the system does not transmit.
Transmit
Degraded
(Low power)
Fault
When a RUN command is received from the Radar Distribution Unit and
ACP/ARP signals are present, the SharpEyeTMtransmits.
The transceiver initially outputs at low power. The radar returns are then
processed enabling the VSWR to be checked without the risk of damage to the
transceiver.
If the VSWR is within limits then the transceiver automatically switches to full
power.
If the VSWR is high, indicating an antenna fault, a warning message is sent to
the Radar Distribution Unit and the transceiver enters the degraded Low
Power state.
The transceiver continuously runs background performance checks on forward
power, reverse power, receiver sensitivity and temperature. If any of these
parameters falls outside predetermined levels a warning message is sent to
the Radar Distribution Unit indicating the nature of the fault.
The transceiver continues to operate, but with reduced performanceand
functionality.
If the performance or functionality is degraded such that the transceiver cannot
operate it enters the fault state and a fault message is sent to the display
equipment.
The transceiver stops radiating RF and there is no video output to the Radar
Distribution Unit.
Communication
error
KH-1602-2 issue 1: Standard SBS900 Systems Operator & Maintenance Handbook
A spurious fault may be cleared by re-powering the equipment.
If communication is lost between the Radar Distribution Unit and the
SharpEyeTM, the RDU reboots the SharpEyex leading to a potential 20
secondgap in coverage.

Health & safety precautions
WARNING: Prior to commencing any maintenance procedure, users must familiarise
themselves with the health & safety warnings noted in the planned maintenance and
health and safety sections of the system handbooks.
AC power: Prior to carrying out any planned maintenance,the system must be fully
isolated and disconnected from all sources of single and 3-phase supply including any
UPS supported supplies.
Caution: Whenthe transceiver, gearbox and antenna have been operating in strong
sunlight or elevated temperatures, the gearbox casing and antenna surface will be
extremely hot.
Gearbox: Under no circumstancesshould any attempt be made to remove the motor from the
gearbox or the gearbox from the main chassis as this will lead to major loss of oil and damage to
the sealing gaskets.
Gloves: Protective gloves must be worn at all times when the changing oil in the gearbox.
CoSHH: Please refer to the CoSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) sheet
supplied with the oil for information on the oil including hazard identification, first aid,
fire precautions and disposal recommendations.
Temperature: Due to the pour point of the oil, this task should not be carried out when the ambient
temperature is below -15 deg C.
Oil: When the gearbox has been operating in elevated temperatures, the oil removed
from the gearbox may be hot.
Disposal: Oil removed from the gearbox must be disposed of in accordance with local waste
disposal regulations.
Drain/ filler hole
Remove and carefully retain the 5mm oil
filler grub screw from the gearbox.
Using a syringe or equivalent and a
suitable container whichwill hold at least
200ml, remove as much oil as is possible
from the gearbox.
Refill
Refill with the specified oil using a suitable
syringe or equivalent.
Refill the oil to the level shown opposite.
Refit and tighten the 5mm grub screw.
Completion of task
When the oil has been replaced and the filler grub screw securely replaced, restore power to the
