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.

Installer’s Guide Introduction

System Configurations

IR2 communicates with a proprietary protocol through standard USB 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

- 150 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 and Radar

- Mouse or other pointing device

- GPS for positioning

- 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 or XP Pro

- Pentium IV 2.4 GHz with 512 MB RAM (or more) and 200 MB hard disk space

(Additional space required for navigation data)

- CD and DVD-ROM drive

- 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.
