IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE CANADIAN CUSTOMERS IC Certification Number: IC:8991A – STREAMX200 This device complies with the requirements of IC Standard RSS-220 This Ground Penetrating Radar Device shall be operated only when in contact with or within 1 m of the ground. This Ground Penetrating Radar Device shall be operated only by law enforcement agencies, scientific research institutes, commercial mining companies, construction companies, and emergency rescue or firefighting organizations.
RADIO-FREQUENCY EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE This product operated is usually operated at least 1 m from the operator. Typical power density levels at a distance of 1 m or greater is below 1 W/cm2 (0.01 W/m2) which are far below the levels specified by the current regulations. Thus, this product pose no health and safety risk when operated in the normal manner of intended use. CONFORMITÉ D’EXPOSITION AUX FRÉQUENCES RADIO Le produit doit être à au moins un mètre de l’utilisateur lorsqu’en opération.
! CLEANING INFORMATION WARNING Before cleaning any external parts of the apparatus, make sure that all cables have been disconnected, including the power supply cable. If a damp cloth is used, make sure it is not too wet, to avoid any damage to the electrical components of the equipment. Wait until the equipment is totally dry before reconnecting the cables. The system should be cleaned periodically using a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents.
BATTERIES REMOVAL INFORMATION Laptop Batteries: Manufacturer: PANASONIC Type: Li-ion Ni Characteristics: 10.65V 5.7Ah Removal instructions: 1. turn off the laptop; 2. open the drawer with the symbol of the batteries; 3. extract the battery pack pulling the tab.
RECICLYING The crossed out wheeled bin symbol shown on the equipment indicates that the product must be recycled separately from other waste at the end of its useful life. Separate waste disposal of this product at the end of its useful life will be organised and managed by IDS. When you decide to dispose of the equipment, contact IDS and follow the system that IDS has set up to permit the separate collection of the apparatus at its life end.

1. HARDWARE CONFIGURATION OF THE STREAM-X SYSTEM The STREAM-X system consists of the following parts DAD Fast Wave Control Units 1 Laptop 1 LAN Cable 2 Battery Cables (1 standard cable + 1 crocodile cable) 2 Batteries 1 Antenna-DAD Long Cable 1 Antenna Array (2 Modules @ 200MHz or 1 Module @ 600 MHz) 1 Black sledge (2 Modules with cross arms) 1 Antenna-Antenna Short Cable 1 White frame with Doppler encoder 1 Motor rack Motor rack Doppler Encoder Cross arms Antenna arrays Fig. 1.
1.1 Assembly procedure of the System In the following chapters the procedure to assemble the mechanical kit of StreamX will be explained. This procedure shows the assembling of the 200 MHz system (AR200-V8 antennas). The 600 MHz antenna only difference is the use of the AR600-V12 antenna model. Fig. 1.2 – 600 MHz array (AR600-V12 model) The black sledge is composed of two modules: link them with the white joints and fix the structure with the dedicated screws (Fig. 1.3).
Joints Fixing screws Fig. 1.3 – Stream X sledge kit External arm Fig. 1.4 – Antenna positioning ! NOTE Notice that antenna connectors are placed to be aligned with the arm in the external side of the “cross”. This positioning must be done to respect the standard configuration file of IDS acquisition software. Put the motor rack over the hook linked to the vehicle with the automatic locking system (Fig. 1.5).
Remote connector Remote Support Moving frame Straps Fig. 1.
Joint Locking bar Pivot Fig. 1.6 – Fixing the white frame When the rack is in place the white frame can be connected to it. Just put the central part of the frame in the pivots of the rack and place the locking bars over the joints (Fig. 1.6). Arms joints Metallic plate Strip with Karabiner Fig. 1.7 – Link to the antenna sledge Use the four strips with karabiner to link the white frame with the metallic plates of the antenna sledge (Fig. 1.7).
One 1.5m antenna cable: this one will connect the two modules of the array in cascade (not required for the STREAMX600 system) Three Doppler encoder cables: these unique shaped cables will link the encoder with its piloting black box and the black box with both the wheel port of the DAD and the radar battery (small one). LAN cable: this cable connects the DAD to the laptop. Crocodile cable: this cable is used to power the motor rack 1.
Ant1 and Ant 2 Wheel Port Connectors Fig. 1.9 – –DAD side Fast Wave with connections to position sensor and antennae Considering the type of available antenna, the following combinations are possible: 1. Ant.1 (connector with 19 poles) This kind of connector may be connected to the following categories of radar antennae. Entire range of TR IDS antennae that has a 19 pole connector and foresee a cascade connection (including STREAMX200 and STREAMX600 antennas); Fig.
Entire range of TR IDS antennae that have an 11 pole connector, if supplied with an appropriate 19-11 pole adaptor (Fig. 1.11). Fig. 1.11 – 19-11 pole Adaptor 2. Ant.2 (11 pole connector) This kind of connector may have the following antenna radar categories connected Entire range of mono static TR IDS antennae with an 11 pole connector Entire range of TR IDS antennae with internal or external multiplex and an 11 pole connector 1.
