System Overview
Mini-RadaScan is a semi-portable marine sensor that provides accurate positional data to vessel DP RadaScan Console Software
(dynamic positioning) control systems. It enables automated approach and station keeping relative to a

rig or platform, or to another vessel.
to the controls of the vessel’s DP system. It gives the DP operator full control of the Mini-RadaScan
Mini-RadaScan is a scaled-down version of Guidance Navigation’s RadaScan system. While retaining Sensor and the data stream being fed to the DP system.
RadaScan’s precision and all-weather capabilities, its reduced size and weight allows it to be used on
smaller vessels than those traditionally associated with RadaScan. Both RadaScan and Mini-RadaScan
sensors are compatible with full-size and mini-targets. RadaScan Mini-Target
The Mini-RadaScan System consists of three main parts: The Sensor; the Console; and the Target: One or more retro-directional targets are mounted on the target platform or vessel. Each target returns
a modulated radar reflection that carries its unique ID number back to the Mini-RadaScan Sensor.

Mini-RadaScan Sensor The precise range and bearing of each target is measured by the sensor. This is used to calculate the
exact position of the RadaScan vessel relative to the target structure or vessel. The positional data is fed

microwave beam and detects the reflections returned by any RadaScan Targets that are within range. It
is connected to the vessel’s DP system and to the Mini-RadaScan Console.

Important Safety Notes

Non-ionising Radiation
Mini-RadaScan emits non-ionising radiation with an output
power of 3 Watts when transmitting.
This equipment should be treated with the same safety
precautions as other marine radar devices.

Risk of Electric Shock

Disconnect the mains electricity supply before opening the
connection panel or removing the radome cover.
CAUTION—DOUBLE POLE/NEUTRAL FUSING.

Isolating the Sensor

For PERMANENTLY CONNECTED EQUIPMENT, a readily accessible
disconnect device shall be incorporated external to the equipment.
For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shall be installed
near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

!
Lifting the Sensor
On install, the sensor should be moved to the top of the ship in
its STTC (Special to Type Transit Case). The transit case must be
carried using a correctly specified and weight-rated cargo-net.

! The transport case handles are not rated or weight tested,

and should not be used as lifting points for this task.

Mounting the Sensor
Applications and Vessel Types
The sensor’s mounting position depends on the application for which it is used. If your particular
application does not match the ones covered in this manual, please contact Guidance Navigation Ltd and
your DP supplier to ensure that the Mini-RadaScan and DP systems are configured correctly.

XX Operating Area Forward (e.g. Shuttle Tanker) (page 14)
XX Operating Area to Port or Starboard (e.g. Track and Follow) (page 15)

Generic Mounting Guidelines

The following guidelines apply to all vessel types and applications. The Sensor should be mounted:
XX With the connection panel facing away from the operating area.
XX With an unobstructed view in the expected direction of the target structure or vessel.
XX At the same height above sea level as the targets that the vessel will be using. 800mm
XX Well above sea-level to prevent swamping or immersion. Leave sufficient
vertical clearance

Mounting Plinths and Brackets

The sensor can be mounted using Guidance Navigation’s Universal Mounting Bracket (see page 18),
or on a custom-made plinth. (See Mounting Template on page 17).

Bearing Offsets
The sensor’s orientation and position on the vessel must be set up in the console software.
(See Bow and Starboard Offsets on page 46 and Bearing Offsets on page 47).

1000mm
Leave sufficient clearance around the sensor to allow access to the
cable connection plate.
Ensure that there is a clear line of sight to the Information Display
Screen. (See Sensor Information Display on page 23).

 11
Mounting the Sensor (continued)
Mini-RadaScan and X-Band Radar or Artemis Systems
There should be as much vertical separation as possible between the Mini-RadaScan Sensor and any X-band
radar or Artemis systems, to prevent the Mini-RadaScan’s signal from being jammed. Mini X-Band Radar
RadaScan
Wherever possible, the Mini-RadaScan Sensor should not be installed at the same vertical level as an
X-band radar or Artemis scanner.
If vertical separation of the two systems is impossible, they must be shielded from one another with a
metal screen. The screen must be large enough to physically shield the Mini-RadaScan sensor from the
whole width of the x-band/Artemis antenna. In some cases, the vessel’s metal superstructure may be used
to provide part or all of the shielding between the two systems.
The Mini-RadaScan Sensor does not need to be shielded from radar-based systems mounted on other
vessels or structures.

Initial Log File Creation
When a new RadaScan system is first commissioned, a log file should be created as a base reference for
the system. A copy of the initial log file should be sent to Guidance Navigation Limited.
By default, logs are written to the C:\Program Files\RadaScan User Console directory, unless a custom
file-path has been entered in the Communications / Display Options screen (see page 44).
Sub-folders within this directory are named according to the time period that they cover.
During navigation, the system automatically generates a set of operation logs. Ideally, the initial log file
should be created by navigating against a RadaScan Target for at least 10 minutes.
If this is not possible, start logging manually for 10 minutes. (see below)

To Start Manual Logging:

! Note: During manual logging, the RadaScan button is disabled.

You must stop logging before you can exit the system.
XX To start (and stop) manual logging, either press the Alt + L keys together, or use the menu option:
1. Click on the Sensor Operations button.
2. Click on Manual Logging.
The system will start to record a log file.
(If the Manual Logging option is ticked, logging is already in progress).
3. After 10 minutes, either press Alt + L again,
or click on Manual Logging to stop the logging process.
4. Next, follow the steps below to copy and send the log file to Guidance Limited:

To Send a Log File to Guidance Navigation:

1. Go to C:\Program Files\RadaScan User Console and locate the sub-folder that matches the start
and end times of the logged period.

Positioning Mini-Targets
The location, range and orientation of the Targets in relation to the Sensor have a significant effect on
the tracking performance of the RadaScan / Mini-RadaScan systems, and hence on the quality of the
position data sent to the DP system.
RadaScan is a radar-based system. Metallic structures reflect the microwave beam transmitted by the
sensor, and can cause multipath interference, where ghost images are reported by the system. However,
this unwanted phenomenon can be prevented by carefully positioning the targets according to the
following guidelines:

Targets Should be Mounted: Targets Should NOT be Mounted:

99
With a clear, unobstructed view towards the RadaScan-equipped vessel.
88 On inside corners.

99
At a height no lower than two metres below the vessel-mounted Sensor.
88 Below an overhang.

99
At a height no higher than five metres above the vessel-mounted Sensor.
88 On lower service decks below a main-deck overhang.

99
On outside corners of the rig or platform to minimise the amount of
metallic structure around them.
