Step 1
Mount the radar. See provided
Quickstart Guide SP-Mount-1 or
SP-Mount-4 for details on mounting and
install practices.
Step 3
Once the cable has been tested
and is ready for final installation, fill Radar
GTC connector with dielectric grease.
Ensure each contact/pin is heavily
covered. (Fig. 1)
Step 4
Coat contacts/pins on incoming
RJ45 with dielectric grease and connect RJ45
to GTC connector on radar. (Fig. 2)
Warning:
Do not apply grease until ready
for final connection. A contaminated
connection can cause failure
Fig. 1
WARNING
: All cables used must be Outdoor Rated, CAT5E, and Shielded.
Step 6
Power PoE injector and connect
network to the radar. If using a SpotterRF
power kit, connect to the port labeled
“Network” in the diagrams to the right.
(If
using an Integrated Control Cabinet, see
Cabinet quickstart for Network Port locations.)

Step 2
Before connecting the Radar to
PoE, ensure the Ethernet Cable being used
is tested for continuity to ground, network
connection, and power consumption.
(See Quickstart Guide SP-TESTKIT or
Youtube video for testing instructions)

Step 7
To access the radar UI, connect a
computer via ethernet to the Network Port. Set
your PC to “Obtain Automatically” IP settings or
DHCP.
The UI can be accessed by entering
169.254.254.254 into a web browser. Google
Chrome and Firefox are recommended.
169.254.254.254 is the default IP address for
all radars. When using the default address,
ensure that the computer is set to DHCP and
only one radar is connected. Otherwise, there
may be a network conflict between radars.
Step 5
Connect radar ethernet to PoE.
If using a SpotterRF power kit, see
diagrams to the right. Connect to the port
labeled “Radar”.
(If using an Integrated
Control Cabinet, refer to the cabinet
quickstart for PoE port locations.)
