Nobeltec InSight Radar (IR2)
Safety Instructions
Do not open the equipment unless familiar with electrical circuits and
the service manual.
Wear a safety belt and hard hat when working on the antenna unit.
Serious injury or death can result if someone falls from a radar mast.
Turn off all power before beginning installation.
Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can result if the power is left on or is
applied while the equipment is being installed.
Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard.
The radar antenna emits electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy which
can be harmful, particularly to your eyes. Never look directly into the antenna
from a close distance while the radar is in operation. Never expose yourself
to the transmitting antenna at a close distance.

Please read the enclosed warranty certificate for all warranty questions.
In brief: For customers inside the USA, Nobeltec and its hardware
providers offer a limited warranty of 2 years on parts and 1 year on labor
for all IR2 hardware. For all other customers, a 2 year limited warranty on
parts that are delivered from Nobeltec's hardware partner.

System Configurations
IR2 communicates with a proprietary protocol through standard PC networking
devices. The Nobeltec line of products takes advantage of all the power of the PC
turning a standard or more ruggedized PC into the world’s most powerful navigation
platform.
Minimum System Requirements
- Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP
- 1.0 GHz processor with 256 MB Ram
- 16 bit color VGA-compatible display or better
- 64 MB (or better) high-end video graphics card
- 25 MB hard disk space – (additional space required for charts or other data)
- CD-ROM (DVD required for Passport Deluxe data)
- Available Serial and/or USB ports for NMEA data
- Mouse or other pointing device
- GPS for positioning
- 10/100 Ethernet Card
Rapid output Heading Sensor (Use GPS Gyro Heading Sensor for best radar
overlay on electronic charts)
Recommended System Requirements
In order to get the best results using Nobeltec InSight Radar software, we
recommend you use a PC with the following specifications:
- Windows 2000/XP Pro
- Pentium IV 2.4 GHz with 512 MB RAM (or more) and 50 MB hard disk space
(Additional space required for navigation data)
- CD and DVD-ROM drive
- The following available data ports
• 2 Serial or USB ports (GPS, Heading sensor or other device)
• USB port for Nobeltec InSight Radar Box input (if applicable)
• Ethernet Network port for the Digital Radar input (if applicable)
- High-end 3D video graphics card with OpenGL capabilities
- Heading Sensor capable of outputting NMEA heading information If not using
the preferred combo GPS/Heading sensor, we recommend the Nobeltec heading
sensor. Its fast 10Hz output makes for better radar overlay.
- GPS capable of outputting NMEA position information within 6’ accuracy or a
GPS Gyro heading sensor.

compass.
- Requires the PC to have a static IP address of 192.168.0.100 (or any other
compatible IP address) for InSight Radar connection.
- Number of NMEA inputs is 32 but if not setup properly can overwhelm the PC
Communication ports.
- GPS Gyro Heading sensor provides best results for Radar / Chart overlay.
- For differences between VNS and Admiral, see Chapter titled: Specifications.
