PROTECTING PEOPLE AND ASSETS® TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION 4. System Theory of Operations The following sections describe the system theory of operations. System theory is used to describe software controls, signal flow and the relationships of sub-assemblies. System theory is divided into the following categories: 1. COBRA Software 2. Primary Power Supply and Distribution 3. Interlock Circuitry 4. Transmitter Control and Transmit 5. Transmit Waveguide and Star Waveguide Assembly 6. Receiver Signal Flow 7.
PROTECTING PEOPLE AND ASSETS® TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION Figure 62.Ranger-X5 COBRA Software Architecture 4.1.1. BITE Page The BITE information from within the RANGER-X5 is processed and routed to the EDGE software. The BITE information can also display on the COBRA LCI software through the KVM display. The COBRA LCI BITE Display has tabs to display the log file of command and DATE: 27 MARCH 2017 | VERSION: 1.

PROTECTING PEOPLE AND ASSETS® TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION Figure 63. BITE Command / Response Display Figure 63 contains the command/response display. There is a display of command sent to the COBRA in sequential order along with the response from COBRA and information about where the command came from. Commands with a successful response have a green background; commands resulting in an error have a red background. The most recent 1000 command/response pairs are available in this screen. Figure 64.

Conversely, if no lower limit is provided, then anything below the upper limit is considered good. If there are no limits, the item is for informational purposes only.

PROTECTING PEOPLE AND ASSETS® TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION 4.2. Primary Power Supply and Distribution Primary power for the Ranger-X5 is a single-phase 120/208 VAC input from the sites Main input. The end user is required to provide an external UPS and a service disconnect with an Emergency Stop button to remove all power from the radar system and provide a Lock-out/Tag-out point for maintenance. See Figure 66 for a block diagram showing the Primary Power Distribution through the Radar System.

PROTECTING PEOPLE AND ASSETS® TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION 4.3. Interlock Circuitry Use of Interlocks in the Ranger-X5 ensure safe operation of the radar. Should conditions threatening the safety of personnel or equipment exist, they will inhibit some or all radar operations. These interlocks are implemented using mechanical and electrical devices.
PROTECTING PEOPLE AND ASSETS® TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION 4.3.2. Software Interlocks Software interlocks are used to interrupt radar operations if certain conditions are present. Configuration of the software interlocks is through the extensible markup language (XML) for the I/O devices used by the BITE system. If a condition exists that is set to disable system operation, the RCU will shut down the associated function and produce a BITE error message indicating the fault that caused the error to occur.

Radiate Command Radiate is turned on automatically when EDGE is in the scheduler mode or by command from the Surveillance screen “Radiate.” Radiate is also available in the LOCAL mode through the LCI screen at the Control Cabinet console. Before the RCU will initiate a “radiate on” command, the system must meet all software tx_interlock conditions, and the radar must be in a STANDBY status.

The Aquarian performs this when a restart of the controller causes the loss of the zero set point on an axis and there is a request for servo power. In azimuth, the motor is driven clockwise until the homing sensor is detected and the quadrature decoder hardware is reset to zero. In elevation, the motor is driven until it reaches the lower electrical limit.

The primary effect of RF exposure is thermal. Exposure to RF energy will cause an increase in the thermal energy of the body’s molecules. The heating effect is very similar to how our microwave ovens cook our food.
