Chapter 3: Health and safety warnings
3 Health and safety warnings
When working on Kelvin Hughes equipment, operators and engineers are expected to work within the
health and safety guidelines noted in this handbook, as issued by their respective employer or as
stated by site regulations, shipyard or the vessel owners.
Risk assessments of a working area must be undertaken prior to the commencement of any work and
must be regularly reviewed.
3.1 Internal access
DO NOT DISMANTLE THE RADOME RADAR
TM
SharpEye SCV and SxV systems are factory sealed units that contain no field serviceable,
adjustable or repairable parts.
Installation engineers, system maintainers or operators must not open or disassemble the
radome radar.
Access to components or sub-assemblies within the system is NOT required for any aspect of
installation, commissioning, maintenance, fault finding or operation.
Opening the radome radar breaks waterproof seals and voids the warranty status of the unit.
3.2 Hazards
Electrical hazards:
TM
The SharpEye SCV and SxV radomes are not designed to be open or dismantled.
The equipment has no safety interlocks.
DC voltages:
The system operates from an external DC supply and must be fully isolated from all
sources of power prior to carrying out any installation or planned maintenance work.
Warning: The equipment contains materials which may produce toxic fumes if burnt.
TM
The factory sealed SharpEye processor within SCV and SxV systems must not be
dismantled as components within the processor contain Beryllium which can represent a
risk if the processor is dismantled.
3.3 Radiation hazards
Radiation hazard: non-ionising:

- Avoid exposure to the main beam of a stationary radar 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.

Page 7 of 46
TM
Chapter 3: Health and safety warnings
3.4 Microwave radiation levels
In normal operation transmission is only possible when the antenna is rotating meaning the levels at
2
the radome are below 10W/m (calculated according to EN50385:2002).
3.5 Working aloft
Safety aloft:
When working aloft or near any radar scanners, moving or RF radiating equipment, ALL
power sources to the equipment must be fully isolated.
Before working aloft ensure someone in authority or at ground level knows of your
intentions and ensure that suitable clear warnings are in place.
Ensure all means of access aloft are secure and 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, vessel or as
determined by country regulations.
3.6 RoHS statement
Please contact Kelvin Hughes Ltd for details on the SCV/ SxV RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous
Substances).
3.7 WEEE statement

TM
Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment requirements: when a SharpEye SCV or SxV system has
reached the end of its serviceable, please contact Kelvin Hughes Ltd for safe disposal instructions or
alternatively arrange for the sealed unit to be returned to Kelvin Hughes for safe disposal.

Chapter 4: Positioning of radar equipment
4 Positioning of radar equipment
To achieve the full potential of a radar system there must be no obstructions in the path of the beam
from the antenna. In practice however obstructions occur some of which are unavoidable. In the case
of the SCV these obstructions include the interaction with the vessel and the sea conditions, in SxV
applications these obstructions can include buildings and land masses.
Installing the radar in close proximity to infrastructure, such as masts, aerials etc. is an important
consideration as, due to the high level of sensitivity of modern radar receivers, the reflected signals
can manifest as false echoes or unwanted reflected signals entering the radar antenna and therefore
showing on the radar display.
Where available, the appropriate use of a blanking sector limits the appearance of false echoes
however where infrastructure is located in the field of view of the antenna it is not always possible to
remove them.
The antenna should be mounted as high as is practical given the constraints of the vessel being
considered.
4.1 Blockage and reflection
Interaction of the radar antenna beam with a structure impacts the performance of the radome radar
and may be considered under two headings which are detailed below:
Blockage: Where part of a structure is directly in the path of the beam from the antenna.
Reflection: Where energy from the antenna reflects from part of a structure.
Clearly, when part of a structure is directly in the path of the beam from the antenna then reflection
will also occur.
Note: The effects discussed in the following are not only related to metallic structures. All objects, whether they are metal,
plastic, wood, etc. can cause blockage and reflection resulting in the effects discussed.
Blockage: The drawing to the right shows a mast and antenna in

plan view giving an example of blockage by a mast. Notice how
the blockage can impact on the energy from the antenna over a
large scan angle depending on how close the obstacle is to the
antenna and its size.
As an example, an obstacle that is 3m away from a 0.53m wide

SCV antenna will be in the path of the beam over an angle of at
least 10°, depending on the width of the obstacle.
The effect of this form of blockage is to reduce the power returned

from a target and to increase the clutter received by the radar so
that the ability to detect the target is degraded (and a blind spot
may even occur). Antenna Beam Blockage by a Mast
This degradation in performance of the radar occurs while the obstacle remains in the antenna beam
although it reduces as the blockage moves towards the edge of the beam. The magnitude of the
blockage effect is dependent on the size and physical characteristics of the obstacle. As the size of
the object increases, so does the degradation in radar performance.

Page 9 of 46
TM
Clearly, when the obstacle is as large

or larger than the antenna the radar
becomes completely blind although, as
already indicated, blind spots may still
occur when the obstacle is smaller
than the antenna.
Whilst the most obvious features on a

vessel (SCV) leading to blockage are
masts, funnels, railings, etc. Decks
and cabin roofs can also cause
blockage if the antenna is not mounted
sufficiently high.
The same effect can occur when mounting the SxV on a building or mast.
Reflection: The drawing to the right shows a mast and antenna in plan view,
the mechanism of reflection is from an obstacle such as the mast.
Energy from the antenna is reflected in a different direction to that in which

the antenna is pointing. If this is incident on a target, then reflections from the
target will return via the same path.
If the reflections have sufficient magnitude they will produce a return on the
display in a direction corresponding to the pointing angle of the antenna, thus
producing a ghost target.
The angular position of such ghost targets will be dependent on the shape of Antenna beam reflection by
a mast
the obstacle and some obstacles will produce ghost targets which are close
to the real target, thus resulting in target smearing. Masts and funnels (SCV)
will generally tend to produce distinct ghost targets; however, railings are
likely to lead to target smearing.
On some installations, modern high speed vessels for example, there may be another reflection
mechanism at work since a large portion of deck or mounting surface may be visible to the antenna.
If these surfaces are horizontal they will reflect energy upwards and cause no problems. On the other
hand, if they are inclined or curved, they can reflect energy from the antenna into the horizontal plane
at a different angle to the pointing angle of the antenna. This leads to ghost images and target
smearing.
4.2 Sea clutter
Sea clutter returns are not only dependent on the sea state but also on the height of the radar
antenna. As the antenna height increases so does the sea clutter returns and the range out to which
the sea clutter extends.
4.3 Horizon range
The curvature of the earth limits the range that can Antenna height above
Horizon range (NM)
be seen by a radar system. sea level (metres)
5.0m 5.0NM approximately
The table opposite demonstrates the approximate 10m 7.0 NM approximately
range to horizon on a generic radar system. 15m 8.5 NM approximately
20m 10 NM approximately

Page 10 of 46
TM
4.4 Multipath interference
Radar energy reflects from the target directly or following reflection at the surface of the sea. The
result is that sometimes the two signals will reinforce each other while at other times they will cancel
and create a null.
Target
Image of
Target
In marine applications (SCV) Multipath is most pronounced when the sea is calm, acting like a mirror,
and when the target is simple (essentially comprising a single reflector) such as a buoy. Here
multipath reflection may produce a large number of signal nulls at short range. These become less
frequent as range increases.
In the higher sea states when the sea is rough and is less like a mirror or when the target is complex
(comprising a number of reflectors), as are many vessels, the effect of multipath is less pronounced
so that the nulls are less deep.
Land based installations can also suffer from multipath. The reflection characteristics can change
based on terrain, dampness etc.
As the height of the radar antenna (or target) increases, then the frequency of the nulls also
increases.
It is clear that there is no definitive solution to the installation of a radar antenna on a vessel or a
permanent land based site.
Each installation should be examined on its own merit with each aspect of performance assessed
appropriately. To this end, we advise that you seek guidance from Kelvin Hughes for antenna
installations by submitting a drawing illustrating the position of the antenna in relation to the vessel’s
structure (SCV) or mounting structure (SxV) and nearby obstacles.
4.5 Antenna separation

TM TM
SharpEye SCV and SxV radomes contain a SharpEye radar transceiver and a GNSS antenna.
The system must be mounted with a relative clear view of the horizon.
Where ever possible, ensure the antenna is placed outside the beam path of any other transmitting
equipment for example:
Radar: Typically ±15° horizontally from the array’s centre point.
Satcom: INMARSAT A, B, C, or M; typically ±10° from the array’s centre point in any
of the possible transmitting directions.
VHF/ SSB: Do not place within 3 metres of a SSB or VHF radios or their antennas.

Chapter 5: Preparation for installation
5 Preparation for installation

5.1 Installation engineer
SCV and SxV systems have been designed as ‘plug and play’ units that should be installed by
competent engineers familiar with the installation and commissioning of radar equipment.
 Installation engineers should familiarise themselves with all sections of this handbook prior to
carrying out any installation, commissioning or maintenance tasks on SCV/ SxV products
 The stainless steel fastenings supplied in the installation kit must be used for all mounting
points. Please contact Kelvin Hughes Ltd if alternative fasteners are to be used
 The SCV/ SxV must be mounted and terminated as instructed in this handbook
 Incorrect or poor installation of the equipment can invalidate the warranty of the system

6.1 Lifting considerations
General considerations
 All health & safety requirements as laid down by the vessel, shipyard or site safety regulations
must be checked and observed at all times when lifting any equipment.
 In line with Kelvin Hughes, shipyard, vessel and/ or site requirements, all appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) such as safety harnesses, fall arresters, hard hats, safety boots,
safety glasses and gloves must be inspected prior to use and worn at all times when lifting
equipment and when working aloft.
 Never leave equipment unsupported on a mounting platform.
 Ensure that tools or equipment cannot present any form of drop hazard.
Lifting equipment
 Where special equipment such as cranes hoists and jigs is required, consideration must be
given to the authority to use such equipment.
 During lifting, a safety zone shall be established beneath the lifting area, around any cranes or
platforms. Safety personnel must ensure that persons do not encroach into the area of work.
 When making arrangements for lifting any equipment, consult with the lifting operator to obtain
the best and safest method of securing the lifting strops or ropes to the equipment.
 Advise lifting operators of the areas of a system that are susceptible to damage such as the
SCV or SxV radome cover.
 Check that the centre of gravity of the equipment cannot cause the lifting strops or ropes to slip
or move.
Manual lifting (two-person lift)
 The SCV/ SxV radome radar weights approximately 20kg so may be manually lifted by two-
people.
 Avoid lifting the unit from floor level and do not lift above shoulder height.
 Observe the following manual lifting advice (Source: HSE manual lifting at work INDG143 rev3).
Plan the lift: Carry out a risk assessment, can handling aids be used, where is
the load going to be placed?
Get a good hold: Where possible, the load should be hugged as close as
possible to the body. This may be better than gripping it tightly with hands
only.
Start in a good posture: At the start of the lift, slight bending of the back, hips
and knees is preferable to fully flexing the back (stooping) or fully flexing the
hips and knees (squatting).
Don’t flex the back any further while lifting: This can happen if the legs begin to
straighten before starting to raise the load.
Avoid twisting the back or leaning sideways: Especially while the back is bent.
Shoulders should be kept level and facing in the same direction as the hips.
Turning by moving the feet is better than twisting and lifting at the same time.
Keep the head up when handling: Look ahead, not down at the load, once it
has been held securely.
Move smoothly: The load should not be jerked or snatched as this can make it
harder to keep control and can increase the risk of injury.
Don’t lift or handle more than can be easily managed: There is a difference
between what people can lift and what they can safely lift. If in any doubt, seek
advice or get help.

6.2 Mounting platform
Mounting plate: The SCV/ SxV radome radar requires an

8.0mm flat aluminum or steel mounting plate.
The plate should be pre-drilled to accommodate the radome

radar, an earthing/ grounding point and any cables access
holes.
Prior to installation, the proposed mounting plate and location

must be inspected and accepted as being suitable.
Example of SCV and SxV mounting plate.
All four planes shown (A, B, C and D) should be checked to Not to scale.
ensure the surface is flat and that there is no curvature of the See following page for dimensions
plate. The maximum deviation should not exceed 1.0mm.
The mounting platform and any supports (masts etc.) must be able to fully support the weight of the
radome radar and be designed to minimise vibration.
Anti-Vibration mounts: SCV systems MUST be mounted on the anti-vibration mounts provided as
part of the fitting kit (SCV-A135) This kit can also be supplied as an option for SxV applications where
vibration is anticipated.
Mounting bolts: The radome radar is secured to

the mounting plate using four M8 bolts and
washers supplied in the fitting kit.
The depth of the thread for the M8 fasteners in the

radome radar is 20mm maximum. Thread depth
20mm MAX
M8 mounting points
Mounting bars: The full mounting

surface area of the SCV/ SxV chassis
must be in contact with the mounting
plate.
The use of brackets or mounting bars

is not recommended as this can
cause twisting of the radome radar
chassis.
Mounting brackets, bars or tube are NOT recommended.
Earthing point: An earthing point will be required on the mounting plate or platform for connection to
the M6 earth stud located on the base of the radome radar. See section 6.6 page 20 for the location
of the earth stud.
A 250mm pre-terminated earth cable (SCV-A145) is provided in the fitting kit and must be connected
to a proven earthing point.

Chapter 7: Termination
7 Termination
7.1 Cabling and termination standards
 Cabling, terminations and connections are to be made as per current the latest version of IEE
wiring regulations BS-7671 - Requirements for Electrical Installation.
 Cables are to be of correct specification and rating and are to be run in suitable cable trays or
guides. They should be laid in positions that cannot cause an obstruction or hazard.
 Cable runs must allow for service loops.
 All cables should be secured in position using cable ties placed at regular intervals.
 Ensure that cables do not place any strain on the DC power or LAN connectors.
 In order to reduce electromagnetic interference effects, all cables should be routed as directly
as possible, consistent with consideration for other equipment.
 Cables should not be installed close to high-power lines such as radio-transmitter lines.
 Crossing of cables should be done at right angles (90°) to minimize magnetic field coupling.
DC power source: The SCV/ SxV must not be connected to an un-switched, unprotected source
of power. The system should be connected by a suitably rated power breaker

TM
Switch ON: There is no ON/ OFF switch on the SharpEye SCV or SxV radome radar.
As soon as DC power is applied via the external breaker or an external ON/ OFF power
TM
switch the system enters a 30 second boot-up period during which time the SharpEye
processor initiates and carries out a number of self-checks. After this time the system is
available for use.
Switch OFF: To switch the radome radar OFF, place the system into Standby and isolate the system
from the DC supply using the external breaker or external ON/ OFF power switch.
Indicators: There are no operator controls, power or status indicators on the SCV/ SxV system.
10.2 Control
The SharpEye™ SCV and SxV systems are both controlled via LAN from an external command and
display system.
- Radar data (CAT240 ASTERIX), BITE data and system status messages are sent from the
radome radar to the command and display system via LAN.
- Control signals are received by the radome radar via the same LAN cable.
There are no operator controls or user functions located on or within the radome radar.
The operation of the external command & display system is not detailed in this handbook. Please
refer to the manufacturer’s operator handbooks supplied with the equipment for instructions.
10.3 Target detection
Due to the beamwidth of the antenna, target detection will be significantly reduced if the SCV/ SxV
assembly is tilted by more than 12.5° from horizontal/ flat.
10.4 Performance monitoring

TM
The SharpEye transceiver processor fitted within the factory sealed unit constantly monitors the
system’s performance and will advise operators through warnings and alarms of any errors or
performance related issues.
Status and warning messages are sent to the external command and display system via the LAN and
cannot be viewed or monitored at the SharpEye™ radome radar.

 The SharpEyeTM processor carries out internal performance checks.
 After the initialisation period the system enters a standby state waiting for a RUN command
Standby via LAN from the external command and display system.
 The SharpEyeTM processor continues to monitor the system performance.
 System warnings and BITE data are sent via LAN to the external command and display
system.
 If a system critical condition is detected, a warning is sent via LAN to the external command
and display system and the system cannot be placed into Run mode.
A RUN command has been received.
 The system starts transmitting.

 Radar data is sent to the external command and display system via the LAN.
RUN  The SharpEyeTM processor continues to monitor the system performance.
 System warnings and BITE data are sent via LAN to the external command and display
system.
 If a system critical condition is detected, a warning is sent via LAN to the external command
and display system and the system reverts to standby.
A RUN command has been received.
Operator selected: When the SCV/ SxV radome radar is connected to a processor/ display
option that supports radar radome configuration, low power mode can be
selected for counter surveillance or covert operation.
Fault mode: Should the radome radar detect an internal fault condition which could
lead to early failure of the transceiver, i.e. a high VSWR, then the
Low
transceiver switches to a low power state which permits low power
Power transmission to continue in the short term.
Mode
The built in test monitoring also outputs a “Low RF Power” warning
message if the RF power output falls below 12 W. The design is “fail-soft”
thereby providing graceful degradation in the event of single or multiple
transistor failures.
As a result of reduced output power, range performance will be reduced and the system may
not meet the expected operational detection performance.

 A RUN command has been received.
Fault
 The system has detected an internal processor fault condition and cannot be
Mode operated.
 See corrective maintenance for rectification action.
