GENERAL.
This section explains what must be done upon initial receipt of radar set. Procedures appear in the order in which they
are to be performed.
Contents are first removed from crates and shipping frames and checked against the packing list for any discrepancies.
Contents also are checked for damage that might prevent equipment from performing its mission. If a minor discrepancy
or damage is found that will not affect the operation of equipment, put the equipment into service. Report your findings
on SF 361, Discrepancy in Shipping Report (DISREP), as prescribed in AR 55-38, Report of Transportation
Discrepancies in Shipping Report. If no discrepancies or damages are found, proceed with component assembly and in-
stallation. After the radar set has been assembled and installed, perform the ground angle de- termination, preliminary
services and adjustments, radar target simulators siting, and cursor alinement procedures.
Personnel are listed only if the task requires more than one technician. These tasks can be performed by operator
personnel, except when maintenance personnel are specifically required. Maintenance personnel should be present to
assist as required.
Resources required are not listed unless they apply to a specific procedure.
Observe all WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTES to prevent injury to personnel and damage to equipment.

SITE AND SHELTER REQUIREMENTS.
Location of radar set group is of prime importance in planning siting and installation of radar set and radar target
simulators. Single, parallel, or multiple runway coverage, length of runways, distance between runways, and location of
taxiways are all limiting factors in selecting the best radar site.
Other Important factors to be considered when selecting the radar site include the following:
Terrain
Line-of-site obstructions
Accessibility
