TRON - ARR
Active Radar Reflector
| TRON-ARR directly improves your safety at sea by ensuring that you are seen by other vessels' radar at longer ranges. Additionally, TRON provides an audible indication that active radar is in the vicinity, and is therefore an invaluable tool for small science or fishing boats where attention is often diverted elsewhere. TRON provides a comfortable 10 nm range to vessel and 30 nm to an aircraft. The benefits of TRON are greatest in poor visibility or at night. Risk of collision is greatly reduced by increasing the platforms radar cross section by using the very latest in solid state technology to achieve exceptional performance for its size. TRON-ARR is an active radar transponder that gives an indication to the user that there is radar activity in the area, and sends out one pulse to indicate the transponders position on the painting radar display. The operating range of the TRON - ARR is up to 30 nautical miles, depending on the height of the electronic unit and the radar height of the vessel carrying the radar. With a radar height of 20m and the TRON - ARR placed at 1m a.s.l. the range will be up to 10 nautical miles. TRON - ARR is buoyant, however to obtain maximum performance the transponder should be placed in a vertical position and as high up as possible in order to achieve maximum coverage. Several mounting brackets and mounting aids are developed to ease a correct mounting and use of the radar transponder. When the TRON - ARR is interrogated (hit) by a radar signal, it will immediately start to transmit a sweep covering the complete maritime 3 cm radar band. This sweep is detected on the radar screen and can be used to find the distance and bearing to the TRON - ARR. |

| AIDS TO NAVIGATION TRON has a proven track record of improving radar visibility for markers, specifically channel buoys, turning markers, and jetty lights. TRON gives consistent paints when viewed by radar, especially during foul weather and is ideal for use where modern plastic buoys are regularly in collision with vessels due to their poor radar visibility. The TRON with its low power consumption, robust yet lightweight construction (weighs only 0.4 kg) is ideal for use on almost all types of buoy. With maintenance free operation, the unit is compact and can be fitted in minutes. |
