Take the used batteries to a battery collection site according to local laws. Cd Ni-Cd Pb In the other countries There are no international standards for the battery recycle symbol. The number of symbols can in-

crease when the other countries make their own recycle symbols in the future. i SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The operator must read the applicable safety instructions before attempting to operate the equipment. DANGER WARNING CAUTION Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. Warning, Caution Prohibitive Action Mandatory Action WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Do not open the equipment. Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment. Turn off the radar power switch before servicing the antenna unit. Post a warning sign near the switch indicating it should not be turned on while the antenna unit is being serviced. If the antenna rotates while there is personnel nearby or servicing the antenna, injury or death may result. Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can result. Immediately turn off the power at the ships mains switchboard if water leaks into the equip-

ment or the equipment is emit-

ting smoke or fire. Continued use can cause fatal damage to the equipment. Use the proper fuse. Use of a wrong fuse can result in damage to the equipment or cause fire. Keep heater away from equipment. Heat can alter equipment shape and melt the power cord, which can cause fire or electrical shock. Do not place liquid-filled contain-

ers near the equipment. Fire or electrical shock can result if a liquid spills into the equipment. Do not operate the equipment with wet hands. Electrical shock can result. Before servicing the radar, turn off the appropriate external breaker. Power is not removed from the radar simply by turning off its power switch. This equipment has a valid latitude range of 85N to 85S. Operation outside of this range can result in a larger margin of error when calculating position, heading, bearing, etc. ii WARNING WARNING Keep the area around the antenna free of ropes and other items that may get tangled. If the antenna becomes tangled, damage to the equipment or injury to personnel may occur. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING WARNING Make sure no rain or water splash leaks into the equipment. Fire or electrical shock can result if water leaks into the equipment. WARNING Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard The radar antenna emits electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy that can be harmful, particularly to your eyes. Never look directly into the antenna aperture from a close distance while the radar is in operation or expose yourself to the transmitting antenna at a close distance. Distances at which RF radiation level of 100, 50 and 10 W/m2 are given in the table below. Note: If the antenna unit is installed at a close distance in front of the wheel house, your administration may require halt of transmission within a certain sector of antenna revolution. This is possible. Ask your FURUNO representative or dealer to provide this feature.

The navigator has the responsibility to check all aids available to confirm position. Electronic aids are not a substitute for basic navigational principles and common sense. This TT automatically tracks automatically or manually acquired radar targets and calculates their courses and speeds, indicating them by vectors. Since the data generated by the auto plotter are based on what radar targets are selected, the radar must always be optimally tuned for use with the auto plotter, to ensure required targets will not be lost or unwanted targets such as sea returns and noise will not be acquired and tracked. A target does not always mean a land-mass, reef, ships or other surface vessels but can imply returns from sea surface and clutter. As the level of clutter changes with environment, the operator should properly adjust the A/C SEA, A/C RAIN and GAIN controls to be sure target echoes are not eliminated from the radar screen. The plotting accuracy and response of this TT meets IMO standards. Tracking accuracy is affected by the following:

Tracking accuracy is affected by course change. One to two minutes is required to restore vectors to full accuracy after an abrupt course change. (The actual amount depends on gyrocompass specifications.) The amount of tracking delay is inversely proportional to the relative speed of the target. Delay is on the order of 15 - 30 seconds for high relative speed; 30 - 60 seconds for low relative speed. The target tracking and pertinent vector calculation accuracy is influenced by the following:

- Echo intensity

- The range measurement accuracy;

characterized by both random and biased measurement errors.

- The angular measurement accuracy;

characterized by beam shape, target glint and bias errors.

- Radar transmission pulsewidth

- Gyrocompass heading error

- Speed log error

- Curent and wind (set & drift)

- Course change (own ship and target) The data generated by TT, AIS and video plotter are intended for reference only. Refer to official nautical charts for detailed and up-to-date information.

ing specifications and installing the RP board to the processor unit. Consult your local dealer re-

garding the software update and RP board installation. A variety of plotter-related functions.

(Memory capacity increase for own and other ships track, ships track color customize function, mark/line function, memory capacity increase for origin mark, origin mark list, etc.) TT/AIS symbol customize function. Enhanced dynamic range for a more complete EAV (Echo Average) function. Compatible with the RCU-031 control unit that is specially designed for fisheries. For details about advanced fishing specifications, see the operators manual (OME-36521). Signal processing functions This radar has the signal processing functions listed in the table below. Function Interference rejector Echo stretch Echo averaging Description Suppresses interference by other radars. Interference received simultaneously from multiple radars may be difficult to reduce. Enlarges target echoes, especially small echoes. Suppress interference, sea clutter and rain clutter be-

fore using echo stretch, to prevent enlargement of unwanted echoes. The radar samples echoes with each scan. Targets that show a large change with each scan are judged as clutter and are reduced to display only echoes from legitimate targets. Automatic clutter elimination Discriminates clutter from the radar echo, then reduc-

Noise rejector es the clutter automatically. Reduces white noise then improves the on-screen S/N ratio by processing the weighted moving aver-

age filter for the received echoes in the range direc-

tion. Use this function with caution. Weak target echoes may disappear from the screen or the range resolution may worsen.

*: The RCU-016 Control Unit has no power button. To turn the power on or off when using a RCU-016 Control Unit, use the power button on the RCU-014/RCU-015. 1-3 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW 1.2 How to Turn the Radar On/Off The power button (

Control Units.

) is located at the top-left corner of the RCU-014 and RCU-015 Note: The RCU-016 Control Unit has no power button. To turn the power on or off when using a RCU-016 Control Unit, use the power button on the RCU-014/RCU-015. To turn the power on, open the power switch cover, then press the power button. The LED to the left of the power button lights up (green color) and the system begins the startup process. The indication "Initializing......" appears at the center of the screen. When the startup process is complete, the system begins warm-up procedures to pre-

pare the magnetron for transmission. The warm-up can take up to three minutes. During the warm-up, indications for total on-time (magnetron on-time since installation) and total transmission time (since installation) appear below the warm-up countdown timer. These indications are also displayed when the radar is in standby mode. When the warm-up process is complete, the radar goes into standby (STBY) mode and the indication "RADAR STBY" (IMO-types) or "STBY" (A/B/R/W-types) appears. This in-

dication also appears whenever the equipment is in STBY mode. Note 1: For B/W-types with Radar Plotter functionality, the STBY indication ap-

pears only once, when the equipment is turned on. Note 2: For B/W-types with Radar Plotter functionality, the numerals on the heading dial (outer-most range ring) are not shown and the TT function is inactive while in stand-

by (STBY) mode. Note 3: Do not turn on the power directly after it has been turned off. Wait several sec-

onds before you reapply the power, to be sure the radar starts up properly. To turn the power off, open the power switch cover, then press the power button. Note: Solid state radars do not have a magnetron, therefore they have no warming period. 1.3 How to Adjust the Brilliance The screen brilliance (brightness) for monitors can be adjusted as shown below. Note: The following procedure applies only to monitors supplied by FURUNO for this system. For other monitors, see the monitor operators manual to adjust the brilliance. Brilliance adjustment from the Control Unit (RCU-014) Rotate the BRILL knob clockwise to increase the brilliance (brighter), or rotate the BRILL knob counter-clockwise to reduce the brilliance (darker). Brilliance adjustment from the on-screen box Select the [BRILL] box, the spin the scrollwheel on the Control Unit upwards to reduce the brilliance (darker) or downwards to increase the brilliance (brighter). Note: The above scrollwheel operation is based on default settings for [2 MOUSE WHEEL DIR]. See section 1.10.

Where [Mode2] is selected, data input from the gyrocompass is re-calibrated to 180 opposite to normal. Note: Gyrocompass data input is not re-calibrated for [Mode1]. Standard display: Gyro input is displayed normally. Reversed display: Gyro input is displayed in reverse. 1-18 1.11 How to Select the Interface for Heading Input When a gyrocompass is connected, the ships heading appears on the right side of the screen, in the data display area. 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW Heading input format can be selected as follows:

1. Open the menu. 2. Select [7 INFORMATION BOX]. 3. Select [2 OWN SHIP INFO]. 4. Select [2 HDG]. The [HDG] menu appears. Note: You can also access the [HDG] menu from the on-screen box. Place the cursor on the [HDG

] indication in the heading box at the top-right of the screen, then right-click. 5. Select [2 HDG SOURCE]. 6. Select [GYRO1] or [GYRO2] as appropriate. 7. Close the menu. Note 1: The heading sensor must be able to follow a minimum ROT of 20 per second. Heading sensors with a lesser capability may degrade the performance of echo aver-

aging, trails and TT. The data refresh rate should also be as short as possible. If the refresh rate is too long, the ability to follow courses lessens, thereby affecting the per-

formance of echo averaging, trails and TT. Note 2: For IMO-types, Where the heading source is other than the heading sensor

(for example, and EPFS device), the sensor indication is displayed in yellow color. 1.12 How to Set Own Ships Speed The TT and azimuth stabilized presentation modes require own ship speed input and compass signal. The speed can be entered from a log (STW, SOG) or EPFS (SOG) or manually on the menu. 1.12.1 Automatic speed input (log or EPFS navigator) 1. Open the menu. 2. Select [7 INFORMATION BOX]. 3. Select [2 OWN SHIP INFO]. 4. Select [3 SPEED]. 5. Select [2 SHIP SPEED]. Note: You can also access the [SPEED] menu from the on-screen box. Place the cursor on the

[SPD ] indication in the speed box at the top-

right of the screen, then right-click. 6. Select the appropriate source for automatic speed input, referring to following table. Note: Changes to the settings here are also applied to the speed calculations for TT targets, true trails, SOG and STW. 1-19 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW Selection Explanation Stabilization Mode

[OWN SHIP INFO] menu is automatically set to [ECDIS] also. See section 1.13. 7. If you selected [MANUAL] as the speed data source, see section 1.12.2 to set the speed. 8. Close the menu. Notes on speed input It should be noted that in determining a target's aspect by radar, the calculation of its true track is dependent on the choice and accuracy of the own ship's course and speed input. A ground-stabilized target plot may accurately calculate the ground track of the target, but the target's heading may be significantly different from its track when experiencing set, drift or leeway. Similarly, a sea stabilized target plot may be inaccu-

rate when own ship and the target, are experiencing different rates of set, drift or lee-

way. IMO Resolution A.823(19) for TT recommends that a speed log to be interfaced with a TT should be capable of providing through-the-water speed (forward speed). Be sure not to select a [LOG] option when a speed log is not connected. If the log signal is not provided, the ship speed readout at the top of the screen will be blank. In the event of a log error, enter speed manually. If a speed log is selected as the data source and there is no signal present for 30 seconds, the [SPD] is shown as "*.* kn" and the label "LOST LOG(BT) SIG" or

"LOST LOG(WT) SIG" in yellow-orange appears and the alert buzzer sounds. When the speed input in use is interrupted or lost, the system automatically chang-

es to another speed input (stabilization reference) and shows the "SPD SOURCE CHG" indication. On IMO-type radars with AIS in use, [MANUAL] and [REF] are shown in gray to in-

dicate they are not available for selection. A single-axis water log cannot measure speed when the wind is coming from the leeway direction. When [ECDIS] is selected as the speed data source and communication with the ECDIS is interrupted or lost for 30 seconds, the Alert "LOST ECDIS COM" is re-

leased. When speed stabilization is changed at the ECDIS and [ECDIS] is selected as the speed data source, the "SPD SOURCE CHG" indication appears. 1-20 1.12.2 Manual speed input If the speed log is not working, enter speed manually as below. In this case the speed data type is shown as "MANUAL" and is speed thru water (STW). Manual speed input is not available on IMO-type radars when the AIS feature is active. 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW 1.

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW 1.16 How to Start/Stop Transmission The radar is ready to transmit when the message "STBY" appears in the operational display area. Transmission can be started using one of the following procedures:

Using the control unit: Press the STBY TX key. Using the on-screen box: Left-click the button on the InstantAccess bar. When the radar is switched to TX (transmit) status, most settings (such as brilliance, range, pulse width, etc) are restored with the same settings as before standby. For magnetron radars, it is recommended to place the radar in standby when trans-

mission is not required, to reduce wear on the magnetron. You can also set a blank sector where transmission is stopped (see the Installation Manual for details). How to stop antenna rotation Antenna rotation can be stopped using one of the following procedures:

Turn the antenna switch off. Turn antenna rotation off from the menu (See installation manual). Screen freeze The screen is not refreshed if the screen has frozen. An audio alarm is released 30 seconds after a screen freeze. The ALARM ACK key flashes and a contact alert sig-

nal is also released. To return the radar to normal operation, turn the radar off, then on again. Quick start Provided that the radar was in use and the magnetron (transmitter tube) is still warm, you can switch to transmit mode without the three minute warm-up time. If the radar was turned off by mistake or you wish to restart the radar promptly, wait several sec-

onds before you press the POWER switch. 1-26 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW 1.17 How to Tune the Receiver (Magnetron Radars Only) Your magnetron radar has a tuning function (automatic or manual). For solid-state ra-

dars, tuning is not available. 1.17.1 How to select the tuning method Tuning of the magnetron is typically done at installation and is not normally required unless you have replaced the magnetron. 1. Select the [TUNE] button, at the top of the InstantAccess bar, to change the tun-

ing method. The tuning box is displayed as "TUNE AUTO" or "TUNE MAN", de-

pending on the currently selected tuning method. 2. Left-click to toggle between automatic and manual tuning. Tuning method Shown as TUNE MAN or TUNE AUTO. Tuning level indication 1.17.2 How to initialize tuning Automatic tuning is initialized at installation. Howev-

er, if you feel that the automatic tuning is not func-

tioning properly, re-initialize it by following the procedure below. 1. Open the menu. 2. Select [2 ECHO]. 3. Select [4 TUNING INITIALIZE]. The indication "TUNE INIT" appears in yellow characters at the top of the display during the ini-

tialization. 4. Close the menu. 1.17.3 How to tune the receiver manually 1. Select the 48-mile range from the [RANGE] box. Left-click to lower the range;

right-click to raise the range. 2. Select manual tuning following the procedure in section 1.17.1. 3. Place the arrow on the tuning level indication. 4. Spin the scrollwheel to adjust tuning. The best tuning point is where the bar graph swings maximum. The tuning control position is indicated with a triangle, dis-

played inside the tuning bar. 1-27 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW 1.18 How to Select a Pulselength The pulselength in use is indicated on the PULSE button of the InstantAccess bar, at the top-left of the screen.The table below shows the indications and their meaning.

Open the menu. 2. Select [1 ECHO]. 3. Select [2 CUSTOMIZED ECHO]. Note: You can also access the [CUSTOMIZED ECHO] menu from the on-screen box. Place the cursor on the [PICTURE] indication in the date box at the top-left of the screen, then right-click. 4. Select [9 PULSE LENGTH]. 5. Select the desired range, then select the re-

quired pulselength. 6. Close the menu. 1-28 1.19 How to Adjust Sensitivity The gain control adjusts the sensitivity of the receiver. 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW The proper setting is such that the background noise is just visible on the screen. If you set up for too little sensitivity, weak echoes may be missed. On the other hand excessive sensitivity yields too much background noise; strong targets may be missed because of the poor contrast between desired echoes and the background noise on the display. To adjust receiver sensitivity, adjust the gain control so background noise is just visible on the screen. How to adjust the GAIN from the control unit (RCU-014) Rotate the GAIN knob. Rotate anticlockwise to decrease the gain, or clockwise to in-

crease the gain. How to adjust the GAIN from the on-screen box 1. Place the cursor in the [GAIN] box at the top of the screen. GAIN 40 Place the cursor inside the gain level indication, then spin the scrollwheel. 2. Spin the scrollwheel to adjust the gain. The setting range is [0] to [100]. 1.20 How to Reduce Sea Clutter Echoes from waves cover the central part of the display with random signals known as sea clutter. The higher the waves, and the higher the antenna above the water, the further the clutter extends. When sea clutter masks the picture, reduce it with the A/C SEA control, either manually or automatically. Note 1: When both sea clutter and rain clutter are reduced, the sensitivity is de-

creased more than when only one is changed. For that reason adjust them carefully. Note 2: The echo average function (see section 1.24) is useful for reducing reflections from the sea surface. However, high-speed targets are harder to detect than station-

ary ones when echo average is active. 1.20.1 How to select the method of clutter adjustment 1. Place the cursor in the [SEA AUTO] or [SEA MAN] (whichever is shown) level in-

dication at the top of the display. Place the cursor on the [AUTO] or

[MAN] indication, then left-click. SEA MAN 40 2. Left-click to display [SEA AUTO] or [SEA MAN] as appropriate. 1-29 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW 1.20.2 How to fine-tune sea clutter reduction Auto A/C SEA allows for fine tuning of the A/C SEA circuit, within 20 dB. Accordingly, with the bar reading set to 50, gain is not lowered to minimum as with manual A/C SEA on close-in ranges. Further, the auto A/C SEA level is low because the average value of the original input echo is low in areas where there are no sea surface reflections. For example, when the ship is alongside a quay and the radar picture shows echoes from both land and sea, you can observe the size of the echoes because the STC curve changes with the size of the echoes. Note: The auto A/C function can erase weak target echoes. Adjust the control care-

fully, watching the display. How to fine-tune sea clutter reduction from the control unit (RCU-014) Rotate the AC/SEA knob. Rotate anticlockwise to decrease the AC/SEA, or clockwise to increase the A/C SEA. How to fine-tune sea clutter reduction from the on-screen box 1. Select [SEA AUTO], following the procedure in section 1.20.1. 2. Place the arrow on level indicator inside the A/C SEA box at the top of the display. SEA AUTO 20 Place the cursor inside the level indication, then spin the scrollwheel. 3. While observing the A/C SEA level indicator, spin the scrollwheel to adjust the clutter reduction. The setting range is [-50] to [50]. 1.20.3 How to manually reduce sea clutter Sea clutter at screen center A/C SEA control adjusted;

sea clutter reduced Note: The proper setting of the A/C SEA should be such that the clutter is broken up into small dots, and small targets become distinguishable. If the setting is set too low, targets will be hidden in the clutter, while if the setting is too high, both sea clutter and targets will disappear from the display. In most cases adjust the control until clutter has disappeared to leeward, but a little is still visible windward. Be careful not to remove all sea clutter, because you may erase weak echoes. Further, the possibility of losing weak echoes is greater when you use both A/C SEA and A/C RAIN to reduce clutter. How to reduce sea clutter manually from the control unit (RCU-014) Rotate the AC/SEA knob. Rotate anticlockwise to decrease the AC/SEA, or clockwise to increase the A/C SEA. 1-30 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW How to reduce sea clutter manually from the on-screen box 1. Select [SEA MAN], following the procedure in section 1.20.1. 2. Place the cursor on the level indicator inside the A/C SEA box at the top of the display. SEA MAN 40 Place the cursor inside the level indication, then spin the scrollwheel. 3. While observing the A/C SEA level indicator, spin the scrollwheel to adjust the clutter reduction. The setting range is [0] to [100]. 1.20.4 How to use the BERTHING STC function The [BERTHING STC] function allows you to show the main bang echo, even with the range set at 0.5 NM or less with AUTO SEA at maximum setting. This is particularly useful when attempting to berth, as it gives a clearer view of the berthing area and your ships location. To use the [BERTHING STC] function, follow the procedure below. 1. Open the menu. 2. Select [1 ECHO]. 3. Select [0 NEXT]. The second page of the [ECHO] menu appears. 4. Select [5 BERTHING STC]. 5. Select [ON] to activate, or [OFF] to de-

activate, this function. 6. Close the menu. Shown only for FAR-2228-NXT, FAR-2228-NXT-BB and FAR-2328-NXT. 1.21 How to Reduce Rain Clutter Use the AUTO RAIN and A/C RAIN to reduced rain clutter. AUTO RAIN reduces rain clutter in the picture and A/C RAIN reduces clutter picked up by the antenna. Note 1: When both sea clutter and rain clutter are reduced, the sensitivity is de-

creased more than when only one is changed. For that reason adjust them carefully. Note 2: The echo average function (see section 1.24) is useful for reducing reflections from the sea surface. However, high-speed targets are harder to detect than station-

ary ones when echo average is active. 1-31 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW 1.21.1 How to select the method of rain clutter reduction 1. Place the cursor in the [RAIN AUTO] or [RAIN MAN] (whichever is shown) level indication at the top of the display. Place the cursor inside the level indication, then left-click. RAIN MAN 40 2. Left-click to display [RAIN AUTO] or [RAIN MAN] as appropriate. Note: Unlike sea clutter reduction, rain clutter cannot be finely adjusted when set to [AUTO]. 1.21.2 How to manually reduce the rain clutter The vertical beam width of the antenna is designed to see surface targets even when the ship is rolling. However, by this design the unit will also detect rain clutter (rain, snow, or hail) in the same manner as normal targets. Rain clutter at screen center A/C RAIN control adjusted;

rain clutter reduced Note: The A/C RAIN control adjusts the receiver sensitivity as the A/C SEA control does but rather in a longer time period (longer range). The higher the setting the great-

er the anti-clutter effect. When echoes from precipitation mask solid targets, adjust the A/C RAIN control to split up these unwanted echoes into a speckled pattern, making recognition of solid targets easier. Be careful remove all rain clutter, because you can erase weak echoes. Further, the possibility of losing weak echoes is greater when you use both A/C RAIN and A/C SEA to reduce clutter. How to fine-tune rain clutter reduction from the control unit (RCU-014) Rotate the A/C RAIN knob. Rotate anticlockwise to decrease the A/C RAIN, or clock-

wise to increase the A/C RAIN. How to fine-tune rain clutter reduction from the on-screen box 1. Select [RAIN MAN], following the procedure in section 1.21.1. 2. Place the cursor on the level indicator inside the A/C SEA box at the top of the display. RAIN MAN 40 Place the cursor inside the level indication, then spin the scrollwheel. 3. While observing the A/C RAIN level indicator, spin the scrollwheel to increase or decrease the level. 100 levels (0-100) are available. Note: The detection range is reduced when the RAIN is used to show targets in rain. Generally, the amount of rain, TX pulse length and TX frequency are factors in deter-

mining how the detection range is affected. The figure below illustrates this. 1-32 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW How to interpret the graph Using the graph below as an example, a radar target originally detected on the 8 NM range can only be detected in rain at the ranges shown below:

other shipborne radar operating in the same frequency band. It is seen on the screen as a number of bright spikes either in irregular patterns or in the form of usu-

ally curved spoke-like dotted lines extending from the center to the edge of the picture. Activating the interfer-

ence rejector circuit can reduce this type of interfer-

ence. The interference rejector is a kind of signal correlation circuit. It compares the received signals over successive transmissions and reduces randomly occur-

ring signals. There are three levels of interference rejection depending on the number of transmissions that are correlated. You can access this feature from the InstantAccess bar, or from the menu. The avail-

able settings are: [OFF], [1], [2] or [3]. Note: When multiple radars using the same frequency are nearby, interference may appear in a similar manner to that shown in the figure to the right. If this kind of inter-

ference appears, do one of the following:

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW The echo stretch feature enlarges targets in the range and bearing directions to make them easier to see, and it is available on any range. There are three types of echo stretch, 1, 2 and 3, and the higher the number the greater the amount of stretch. Note: The echo stretch magnifies not only small target pips but also returns (clutter) from sea surface, rain and radar interference. For this reason, make sure these types of interference have been sufficiently reduced before activating the echo stretch. You can access this feature from the InstantAccess bar, or from the menu. The avail-

able options are: [OFF], [1], [2] or [3]. How to use echo stretch from the InstantAccess bar TM To set echo stretch, select the [ES] button (

ES OFF

) on the InstantAccess bar, then left-click to cycle through the settings. The available settings, in cyclic order, are: [OFF] [1] [2] [3] [OFF]... How to use echo stretch from the menu 1. Open the menu. 2. Select [1 ECHO]. 3. Select [2 CUSTOMIZED ECHO]. Note: You can also right-click the [PICTURE]

box to access this menu. 4. Select [3 ECHO STRETCH]. 5. Select the required setting. 6. Close the menu. 1-35 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW 1.24 Echo Averaging The echo averaging feature effectively reduces sea clutter. Echoes received from sta-

ble targets such as ships appear on the screen at almost the same position every ro-

tation of the antenna. On the other hand, unstable echoes such as sea clutter appear at random positions. To distinguish real target echoes from sea clutter, echoes are averaged over succes-

sive picture frames. If an echo is solid and stable over successive frames, it is present-

ed in its normal intensity. Sea clutter is averaged over successive scans and its brilliance reduced, making it easier to discriminate real targets from sea clutter. Echo averaging uses a scan-to-scan signal correlation technique based on the true motion over the ground of each target. Thus, small stationary targets such as buoys will be shown while reducing random echoes such as sea clutter. However, true echo averaging is not effective for picking up small targets running at high speeds over the ground. Note 1: With echo average active it is harder to detect high-speed targets than sta-

tionary ones. Note 2: Do not use the echo averaging function under heavy pitching and rolling; loss of targets can result. Note 3: Echo averaging requires heading, position and speed data. Before using the echo averaging function, reduce sea clutter with the A/C SEA control. Leave a little sea clutter on the screen so as not to erase weak targets. The available settings options are shown in the table below. Setting

its are input, the setting process is complete. If you use the scrollwheel, left-click when the angle range is set. To cancel any changes, press the CANCEL TRAILS key. 9. Close the menu. 1-39 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW 1.26 Noise Rejector White noise can show itself on the screen as random speckles spread over the entire radar image. This equipment reduces the white noise, then improves the on-screen S/

N ratio by processing the weighted moving average filter for the received echoes in the range direction. Note: Use this function with caution. Weak target echoes may disappear from the screen or the range resolution may worsen. To remove this noise do the following:

1. Open the menu. 2. Select [1 ECHO]. 3. Select [2 CUSTOMIZED ECHO]. Noise Rejector indication Note: You can also right-click the [PICTURE] box to access this menu. 4. Select [7 NOISE REJECTOR]. 5. Select [OFF] or [ON] as appropriate. The indication for noise rejection is located at the top-left of the screen. The indication changes according to the selected setting. 1.27 Wiper The wiper feature automatically reduces the brilliance of weak signals (noise, sea clut-

ter, rain clutter, etc.) and unwanted signals such as radar interference to clear the pic-

ture of unwanted echoes. Its effect depends on the wiper setting used and whether each averaging is turned on or off, as described below. Echo averaging [OFF]

Echo averaging on ([1], [2] or [3]) Wiper setting 1 Wiper setting 2 Condition A Condition A Condition A Condition B Condition A: The brilliance of unwanted weak echoes, such as noise, sea clutter and rain clutter, is reduced to clear up the picture. Condition B: Echo averaging is automatically activated when the wiper feature is turned on, allowing you to instantly see how the picture is affected with echo averaging turned off and turned on. Note 1: The [WIPER] function requires valid data input for position, speed and head-

ing. Note 2: The [WIPER] function is unavailable when the high speed rotation mode is activated at installation. For details of the high speed rotation mode, contact your deal-

er. To activate the wiper feature, do the following:

1. Open the menu. 2. Select [1 ECHO]. 3. Select [9 WIPER]. 4. Select the desired setting. The options are: [OFF], [1] or [2]. 1-40 5. Close the menu. 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW 1.28 How to Preset Controls for a Specific Navigation Purpose Every time your navigating environment or task changes, you must adjust the radar, which can be a nuisance in a busy situation. Instead of changing radar settings case by case, it is possible to assign the function keys to provide optimum settings for often-

encountered situations. The radar's internal computer offers several picture preset options to be assigned to each function key for your specific navigating requirements. For instance, one of the presets is [ROUGH SEA], and is designed to be used in heavy rain. Three user-programmable presets are also provided (labeled as [CUSTOM1], [CUS-

TOM2] and [CUSTOM3]), so that you can have the radar automatically set to those conditions which are not covered by the provided setup options. Below are the preset options provided with this radar. Preset

Optimum setting for harbor berthing. Optimum setting for detecting birds. Optimum setting for navigating though sea ice. Optimum setting for coastal travel.

*: [SMALL TARGET] replaces [NEAR BUOY] and [ICE] replaces [BIRD] when Ice Mode is enabled at installation. Each picture option defines a combination of several radar settings for achieving op-

timum setup for a particular navigating situation. These include gain, target analyzer, hatching, ACE, ACE gain, interference rejector, echo stretch, echo average, noise re-

jector, automatic anti-sea and anti-rain clutter, video contrast, pulse length and sea and radar conditions. Changing these features from the [CUSTOMIZED ECHO] menu changes the original function key settings. To restore the original settings for a particular customize option, it is necessary to select the default setting. For this reason, we recommended that you use the user-programmable presets ([CUSTOM1], [CUSTOM2] or [CUSTOM3]) when frequent adjustment of the radar image is necessary. The default settings for the custom presets are listed on the following pages. 1-41 1.

the bearing scale rotates with the compass reading. Compass-stabilized relative to ships orientation at the time of selecting COURSE UP. Compass-stabilized with reference to North. Land objects and sea are stationary. Requires compass and speed data.

*: [STERN UP RM] is only available for A/B/W-types. 1.30.1 How to select an presentation mode Select the [ORIENTATION MODE] box at the top left corner of the screen, then left-click to cycle through the available orientation modes. Loss of gyrocompass signal When the compass signal is lost, "LOST GYRO SIGNAL" appears in yellow-orange in the [ALERT] box, the orientation mode automatically becomes HEAD UP, and TT and AIS targets, map and chart are erased. Stop the alert with the ALARM ACK key or left-click the [ALERT] box. Check the GYRO data. 1.30.2 Description of presentation modes HEAD UP mode A display without azimuth stabilization in which the line that connects the center with the top of the display indicates your heading. Targets are shown at their measured distances and their directions relative to your heading. The short dotted line on the bearing scale is the north marker. North marker Heading line 1-48 COURSE UP mode The radar picture is stabilized and displayed with the currently selected course at the top of the screen. When you change the heading, the heading line moves with the course selected. If you select a new course, select the course up mode again to display the new course at the top of the display. Targets are shown at their measured distances and their direc-

tions relative to the set course, which is at the 0-de-

gree position. The heading line moves according to the yawing and any course change. NORTH UP mode Targets are shown at their measured distances and their true (compass) directions from your ship. North is at the top of the screen. The heading line changes its di-

rection according to your heading. 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW North marker Heading line North marker Heading line STAB HEAD UP mode Radar echoes are shown in the same way as in the HEAD UP mode. The difference from normal HEAD UP presentation lies in the orien-

tation of the bearing scale. The bearing scale is heading sensor stabilized. That is, it rotates in accordance with the heading sensor signal, enabling you to know own ship's heading at a glance. This mode is available when the radar is interfaced with a gyrocompass. If the gyro-

compass fails, the bearing scale returns to the state of HEAD UP mode. North Heading line True motion mode Your ship and other objects in motion move with their true courses and speed. All fixed targets, like landmasses, ap-

pear as fixed echoes in ground stabilized TM. When your ship reaches a point that is 50% of the radius of the display, the position is reset. The ship appears at 75% radius oppo-

site to the extension of the current course. You can manu-

ally reset your ship symbol if you highlight the [CU/TM RESET] indication at the top of the screen, then left-click. Heading line North marker

(a) True motion is selected

(b) Your ship has reached a point 50% of display radius

(c) Your ship is automatically reset to 75% of display radius 1-49 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW Note: The position of the own ship marker and bearing scale change according to ref-

erence position and off-centering.

[ANT]: When OFF CENTER is active, the bearing scale intervals change according-

ly.

[CCRP]: When the CCRP moves outside the operational display area, the bearing scale intervals may not be displayed correctly. STERN UP mode The STERN UP mode rotates the HEAD UP mode picture, relative and true bearings and display graphics 180. This mode is useful on dual-radar tugboats when backing up; one ra-

dar shows HEAD UP and another shows STERN UP. To enable the STERN UP mode, turn on [STERN UP] on the [OPERATION]

menu. Note: STERN UP mode is only available for A/B/W-types. Heading line North marker 1.31 How to Select a Range Scale The selected range scale and range ring interval are shown at the upper left corner on the screen. When a target of interest comes closer, reduce the range scale so that it appears in 50-90% of the display radius. 1. Place the cursor in the [RANGE] box at the top left corner of the screen. RANGE box In the above example, the range scale is set to 0.125 NM and the interval between range rings is set to 0.025 NM. 2. Left-click to lower the range; right-click to raise the range. You can also select the range with the RANGE key on the control unit. Press "+" to increase the range, or press "-" to reduce the range. Press and hold a key to succes-

sively change the range upwards or downwards. Changing the plotter range

(A/B/W-types with Radar Plotter functionality only) With the radar in standby (STBY) mode, you can change the plotter range by pressing the RANGE key. In this case, range means the on-screen displayed distance from the left-hand edge of the screen to the right-hand edge of the screen.

[+]: expands the range scale with the cursor location as the center.

[-]: reduces the range scale with the cursor location as the center. Press and hold the [+] or [-] key to change the range scale continuously. 1-50 1.32 How to Measure Range 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW The range to a target can be measured three ways: with the fixed range rings, with the cursor, or with the VRM. Use the fixed range rings to get an estimate of the range to a target. The rings are the concentric solid circles on the display. The number of rings is automatically set by the current range scale. The distance between the rings is the range ring interval, and the current interval appears at the upper-left position on the screen. To measure the range to a target with the range rings, count the number of rings between the center of the display and the target. Check the range ring interval and estimate the distance of the echo from the inner edge of the nearest ring. 1.32.1 How to show/hide the range rings 1. Open the menu. 2. Select [3 NAV TOOLS] to show the [NAV TOOLS] menu. 3. Select [4 RANGE RINGS]. 4. Select [ON] or [OFF] as appropriate. 5.

Each EBL is a straight dashed line extending out from the own ship position up to the circumference of the radar picture. The two EBLs can be distinguished from each other by the different lengths of their dashes; the dashes on EBL2 are longer. Each EBL has an EBRL (Electronic Bearing Range Line, indicated as a short line, crossing the EBL at right angles). When VRM is not displayed and only EBL is dis-

played, the EBRL shows the range from the EBL origin. When VRMs are displayed with EBLs the VRM overlaps the EBRL. The value for EBRL and VRM is the same and is displayed in the VRM box at the bottom-right of the screen. 340 330 350 000 010 020 030 320 310 EBRLs EBRLs 040 050 300 290 EBL2 280 270 260 250 240 230 060 070 Target echo 080 EBL1 090 100 110 120 220 210 200 190 180 170 150 160 130 140 EBL1 045.3 R EBL2 287.1 R Currently active EBL is highlighted. 1-53 1.

1.38 Target Analyzer (B/W-type only) 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW The target analyzer function analyzes echoes and assists the operator to determine dangerous targets. This function is particularly useful under heavy rain/snow or where there is surface reflection, which can cause interference and noise. The target analyzer function can also place hatching over heavy rain areas, reducing the visible interference and allowing a clearer view of potential targets. Echoes are displayed in five different colors to assist the operator in identifying tar-

gets. The colors and their respective echoes change depending on the echo color se-

lected from the [BRILL] menu (see section 1.45) are shown in the table below. Echo Surface reflection Rain Moving target Approaching target Other echoes Selected echo color YEL AMB GRN WHT Green Green Green Green Gray Gray Red Red Pink Pink Yellow Green White Amber Red to green Red to blue M-GRN Green Gray Pink White M-CYA Green Gray Pink White Gray Red Pink Gray Red Pink The following example figures show the manner in which this function affects dis-

played echoes. No echo adjustment

(Target analyzer off, EAV off, hatching off) Rain, moving targets and surface reflections are all displayed with no filtering. Minimal echo adjustment

(Target analyzer on, EAV off, hatching off) Echoes are colored, surface reflections are filtered, rain is displayed. Moderate echo adjustment

(Target analyzer on, EAV on, hatching off) Echoes are colored, surface reflections and rain are filtered. Maximum echo adjustment

(Target analyzer on, EAV on, hatching on) Echoes are colored, surface reflections are filtered, rain is displayed in gray colored hatching. 1-69 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW Note 1: This function works best when the settings for [GAIN], [STC], [RAIN], [NOISE REJECT] and [VIDEO CONTRAST] are properly adjusted (surface reflections are dis-

played in green and rain is displayed in gray). Note 2: This function recognizes moving targets as approaching targets. Buoys and other stationary objects are not recognized as approaching targets by this function. Note 3: The target analyzer function requires a short period of time to analyze echoes and display them on-screen. If your antenna revolves at more than 40 rpm, moving targets may not be displayed correctly. For this reason, caution is advised when using the target analyzer function. Note 4: The target analyzer functions performance may be affected by factors such as target size, weather and sea conditions, physical equipment configuration, offset settings and other factors. Note 5: When the high speed function mode is activated at installation, this function is automatically deactivated at a range of 2 NM or less. For details of the high speed rotation mode, contact your dealer. What is hatching?

Where echo averaging may hide light rain on the display, the hatching feature, when activated, places a gray veil over the areas where rain is detected. This allows the operator to see where the rain is without affecting the quality of the displayed echoes. 1.38.1 How to activate/deactivate the target analyzer 1. Open the menu. 2. Select [1 ECHO]. 3. Select [2 CUSTOMIZED ECHO]. Note: You can also right-click the [PICTURE] box to access this menu. 4. Select [5 TARGET ANALYZER]. 5. Select [OFF] to deactivate the function, or [ON]

to activate the function. 6. Select [6 RAIN ECHO HATCHING]. 7. Select [OFF] to deactivate the function, or [ON]

to activate the function. 8. Close the menu. Target Analyzer indication 1-70 1.39 Target Alarm 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW The target alarm serves to alert the navigator to targets (ships, landmasses, etc.) en-

tering a specific area, with audiovisual alerts. The operator can set the alarm zones at any location, with any size, however, the zones must be inside the operational display area. CAUTION CAUTION The alarm should not be relied upon as the sole means for detecting possible collision situations. Note: The target alarm boxes are not displayed when the setting for [AZ/ALR SELECT] in the [TTAIS] menu is set to the default setting [AQUISITION ZONE]. To enable this function, set [AZ/

ALR SELECT] in the [TTAIS] menu to [TARGET ALARM ZONE]. A/C SEA, A/C RAIN and GAIN controls should be properly adjusted to be sure the alarm system does not overlook target echoes. 1.39.1 How to set a target alarm The procedure below shows how to set a target alarm using the figure below as an example.

Judge the strength of the echo that appears within 60 from the arc location to confirm if the radar is working properly or not. Note 2: The location of the arcs changes according to the [PM ARC] setting. Turn the performance monitor off when finished. 1-95 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW 1.50 How to Change the Reference Position The reference position for measurements (range, bearing, etc.) and markers (heading line, stern mark, etc.) can be the radar antenna position ([ANT]) or the consistent com-

mon reference point ([CCRP]). The reference position is a location on own ship to which all horizontal measurements, for example range, bearing, relative course, relative speed, closest point of approach

(CPA) or time to closest point of approach (TCPA), are normally referenced.

[CCRP] for this series of radars is fixed at the conning position and [ANT] is fixed at the radar antenna position. To change the reference position, use the trackball to place the cursor over the "REF POINT" indication at the top of the screen, then left-click to select [ANT] or [CCRP] as required. You can also change the reference by spinning the scrollwheel when the cur-

sor is placed over the indication. The position of the own ship marker changes according to reference position as shown below. If the CCRP is positioned outside of the effective display area, the bear-

ing scale is indicated with the appropriate reduced detail. X Radar antenna position is at center of display X Conning position is at center of display ANT position CCRP position Range and bearing are measured and graphics are drawn according to reference po-

sition as in the table below. Category Item EBL VRM Cursor PI line Range ring Drop mark Heading line Stern mark Beam line Own ship vector Own ship track Range and bearing measurements Graphics Bearing cursor Course, speed 1-96 Reference point ANT Range and bearing measured from an-

Alert is a generic name for a notice to any unusual or potentially dangerous situation generated within the system. For detailed information regarding specific alerts and alert codes, including possible remedies, see "ALERT LIST" on page AP-11. Alerts are classified according to priority and category. Note 1: This equipment does not provide the functional alert group function. Note 2: The reserved cluster identifier for this equipment, which is defined in IEC62923-2 is Nav. Alert priority The level of priority, from highest to lowest, is ALARM WARNING CAUTION. Alarm: Situations or conditions which require immediate attention, decision and (if necessary) action by the bridge team to avoid any kind of hazardous situation and to maintain the safe navigation of the ship. Warning: Conditions or situations which require immediate attention for precautionary reasons, to make the bridge team aware of conditions which are not immediately haz-

ardous, but may become so. Caution: Awareness of a condition which continues to require attention out of the or-

dinary consideration of the situation or of given information. Note: All active-unacknowledged warnings are repeated as warnings after 60 sec-

onds (manufacturers fixed time period). Alert category An alert is further classified by category, A, B or C, according to its degree of severity or source. Category A B C Description Category A alerts include the following, and must be confirmed from the equipment that generated the alert. Danger of collision Category B alerts are alerts where no additional information for decision support is necessary. Category B alerts are all alerts not falling under category A. Category C alerts are not shown on this equipment. 1-98 1.52.2 How to interpret the [ALERT] box 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW When an alert condition is found, the applicable alert message appears in the [ALERT]

box. A buzzer sounds for alarm and warning alerts. When no active alert and indica-

tion occurs, "NO ACTIVE ALERTS" appears in the [ALERT] box. The [ALERT] box is composed of three lines of text information, and several icons, as shown below. Alert icon Alert number and instance ID Alert list/log button Alert name/description Number of unacknowledged alert Background alert icon:

(shown only when one or more alerts are active) The alert icon shows the level of the alert (alarm, caution, warning or indication) and the active alert counter shows how many alerts are unacknowledged. When an Alarm or Warning level alert is released, the alert message flashes in the

[ALERT] box. The message is accompanied by the appropriate alert icon and the buzzer sounds. The buzzer and alert continue to flash and sound until the buzzer is silenced or the alert condition is rectified.

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW MSC302(87) requires the use of the responsibility transfer alert which functions in the multiple sensor, multiple equipment installation. When one sensor or one equip-

ment fails but does not disturb the system operation (other sensor or equipment is nor-

mal), the AMS automatically sends the responsibility transfer alert (ACN sentence) to the sensor or equipment that generated the alert. If the sensor or equipment refuses the responsibility transfer, normal operation is re-

stored.

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW 1.58 Dual Radar (A/B-types only) When installing two FAR-2xx8 series radars, the image from both radars (main radar and external radar) may be shown together on one radar display. This allows you to take advantage of the best characteristics each type of radar has to offer. The dual radar function is available only for A/B-types. The following should be done from the [DUAL RADAR SETTINGS] menu, located in the [RADAR INSTALLATION] [SCANNER] menu, at the time of installation in order to enable the dual radar display:

Set the number of the radar to use for external input at [6 EXT RADAR]. Set [2 DUAL RADAR] to [COMBINE]. This enables the dual radar function. Set the sector and range to combine radar images at [4 COMBINE SECTOR] and

[5 COMBINE RANGE] respectively. Set the radar image you want to show in the sector at [3 COMBINE MODE]. The manner in which the radar images appear on-screen depends on the combination mode selected. Dual radar functions display area (set at installa-

tion). Images shown in this area change depending on the setting for [COMBINE MODE] as follows:

[OWN] : Own radar images appear inside the display area, external images appear outside the display area.

[EXT] : External radar images appear inside the display area, own images appear outside the display area. TT information When a TT target crosses over the boundary line of the display area, its information is passed to the other radar display. Tracking of the TT continues. The TT number changes depending on the number of the antenna which acquires the TT target. The lowest numbered Processor Unit assigns TT numbers "001" to "100", the other Processor Unit assigns "101" to "200". Note: Only manually acquired target data is transferred. TTTT TTTT TT target crosses over the boundary line of the display area. Boundary lines of display area TT information is passed to the other radar display. Tracking on the TT continues. 1-110 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW 1.58.1 How to toggle control of each dual radar display Note: Dual radar mode must be enabled and both radars must be turned on. You can switch between radars to control either your own, or the external radar from the antenna box. Left-click to toggle control. Place the cursor on the [CONTROL] box, then left-click. The indication toggles be-

tween "M" (Master) and "S" (Slave) to show the level of control you have for the radar you are currently controlling. The radar numbers for Own and External radars appear here. The currently controlled radars number appears to the left. Click the box to toggle the level of control of the radars. M: Main (Master);

S: Sub (Slave) There can be only one Master radar at any time. If the radar in operation is set to Slave and the operator switches to Master, the other radar is automatically changed to Slave. Depending on your level of control, available operations are as follows:

**: The desired value can be set when the radar is assigned as Slave, however the maximum displayable range is dependent on the pulse setting at the Master radar. 1.58.2 Operating considerations for the dual radar display You can toggle each radar between standby and TX in the dual radar display. When switching to standby on either radar, the "ISW: STBY" indication appears and the ra-

dar echoes from the radar in standby are not displayed. Further, when switching to standby, all TT targets are removed and tracking stops on the radar which is in stand-

by. However if a TT target is acquired on the radar which is not in standby, the TT in-

formation is passed to the radar which is in standby. Either radar enters STBY mode Boundary line is removed and display shows only the Own radar echoes. Changes made to the following functions are applied to both the own radar echoes and the external echoes, on the display of the radar which made the changes. These settings are not applied to the display of the external radar.

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW Notes regarding dual radar operations The dual radar function is available between two FAR-2xx8 series radars using the LAN. FAR-2xx7 and FAR-3xx0 series radars are not compatible. When a transmission error occurs between two radars in the dual radar mode, the Alert "LOST ISW FUNC" appears and the dual radar function is turned off. The dual radar display is not available on external equipment (such as ECDIS, etc) which overlays the main radar image, even though the dual radar is turned on. If a TT target passes between the two radars (see page 1-110) while the dual radar function is active, TT data (TTD/TTM) is shared and tracking is continued. If the Alert "TT TGT 95%(AUTO)" is released while the dual radar function is active, disable tracking for unnecessary targets until the Alert condition is rectified. Con-

tinuing automatic acquisition after this Alert is released and is still active may cause discrepancies between TT targets on the connected radars. Restrictions during dual radar operations The following restrictions are applicable when using the dual radar function. A REF (reference) mark can be entered on the display of the main radar but not the external radar. Targets acquired and/or tracked prior to activating dual radar mode are all released when dual radar mode is activated. Targets acquired and/or tracked prior to deactivating dual radar mode are all re-

leased when dual radar mode is deactivated. If either radar enters standby mode, all TT targets acquired while the Dual Radar function was active are released (removed). TT targets can be acquired manually or automatically. TT target data sharing be-

tween the radar in dual radar mode is restricted to manually acquired targets. See

"TT information" on page 1-110. The reference position is fixed at [CCRP] (see section 1.50) when dual radar mode is enabled. Set the same CCRP position between two radars at the time of installa-

tion. The following functions are not available in the dual radar mode. Performance monitor SART ICE mode Target Analyzer (B-type only) TT simulation mode Icing prevention Interswitch Hatching (B-type only) If the distance between the Own radar antenna and the External radar antenna is larger than 125 meters, the dual radar display area and the sweep area are re-

duced. In this case, if the range is decreased, only the own radar echoes are dis-

played on the screen. Further, the following occurs when only the own radar is shown under these circumstances:

Dual radar boundary line is not shown. Antenna selection is unavailable (on-screen box and menu item are gray and inac-

tive). Trails are all cleared (removed). No alerts is released under these circumstances, however normal dual radar display is restored when the range is increased again. 1-113 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW 1.59 Wave Mode You can output echo data from this radar to a PC with the wave analysis software in-

stalled. The wave analysis software calculates incoming waves and gives you an on-

screen indication as to wave size, direction and time between waves. This section covers how to use the wave mode and related functions on your FAR-

2xx8 series radar. For details regarding the analysis software and PC indications, see the manual supplied with the software. Preparations and cautions for wave mode Wave mode requires the connection of a PC to the same network as the FAR-2xx8 series radar to be used for data input. The connected PC must have the wave analysis software installed. See the soft-

ware manual for how to install the software. Wave mode may only be active on one radar at any time. If a second radar has wave mode activated, wave mode is disabled on the first radar. One ore radars must set [8 OUTPUT TO WAVE PC] to [ON]. If all radars set [8 OUT-

PUT TO WAVE PC] to [OFF], the LOST WAVE UNIT indication may appear. Wave analysis and the output data are intended for reference purposes only, as an aid to safe navigation. Always confirm conditions, visually and with other methods. 1. Establish a LAN connection with the analysis PC. 2. Open the menu. 3. Select [1 ECHO]

4. Select [0 NEXT] to show the second page of the menu. 5. Select [7 WAVE MODE]. 6. Select [ON] or [OFF] as appropriate. Select [ON] to output echo data to analysis PC. 7. Select [7 WAVE MODE]. 8.

1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW This page is intentionally left blank. 1-116 2. RADAR OBSERVATION 2.1 General 2.1.1 Minimum range The minimum range is defined by the shortest distance at which, using a scale of 1.5 or 0.75 nm, a target having an echoing area of 10 m2 is still shown separate from the point representing the antenna position. It is mainly dependent on the pulselength, antenna height, and signal processing such as main bang reduction and digital quantization. It is a good practice to use a shorter range scale as far as it gives favorable definition or clarity of picture. The IMO Resolution MSC.192(79) requires the minimum range to be less than 40 m, respectively. This series of radars satisfy this requirement. 2.1.2 Maximum range The maximum detecting range of the radar, Rmax, varies considerably depending on several factors such as the height of the antenna above the waterline, the height of the target above the sea, the size, shape and material of the target, and the atmospheric conditions. Under normal atmospheric conditions, the maximum range is equal to the radar hori-

zon or a little shorter. The radar horizon is longer than the optical one by about 6%

because of the diffraction property of the radar signal. The Rmax is given in the follow-

ing equation. D: Radar horizon Optical horizon h 2 h 1 Globe D = 2.2 x ( h1 + h2) where D: radar horizon (nautical miles) h1: antenna height (m) h2: target height (m) For example, if the height of the antenna above the waterline is 9 meters and the height of the target is 16 meters, the maximum radar range is;

Rmax = 2.2 x ( 9 + 16) = 2.2 x (3 + 4) = 15.4 nm It should be noted that the detection range is reduced by precipitation (which absorbs the radar signal). 2-1 2. RADAR OBSERVATION 2.1.3 X-band and S-band In fair weather, the equation on the previous page does not give a significant differ-

ence between X- and S-band radars. However, in heavy precipitation condition, an S-

band radar would have better detection than an X-band radar. 2.1.4 Radar resolution There are two important factors in radar resolution (discrimination): bearing resolution and range resolution. Bearing resolution is the ability of the radar to display as separate pips the echoes received from two targets that are at the same range and close together. It is pro-

portional to the antenna length and reciprocally proportional to the wavelength. The length of the antenna radiator should be selected for a bearing resolution better than 2.5 (IMO Resolution). This condition is normally satisfied with a radiator of 1.2 m

(4 ft) or longer in the X-band. The S-band radar requires a radiator of about 12 feet

(3.6 m) or longer. Targets Separate target echoes Horizontal beam width Targets Horizontal beam width Ovelapped target echoes Range resolution is the ability to display as separate pips the echoes received from two targets that are on the same bearing and close to each other. This is determined by pulselength only. Practically, a 0.08 microsecond pulse offers the discrimination better than 40 m as do so with all FURUNO radars. Test targets for determining the range and bearing resolution are radar reflectors having an echoing area of 10 m2. Separate target echoes Transmission pulse Targets Ovelapping Transmission pulse Targets Ovelapped target echoes 2-2 2. RADAR OBSERVATION 2.1.5 Bearing accuracy One of the most important features of the radar is how accurately the bearing of a tar-

get can be measured. The accuracy of bearing measurement basically depends on the narrowness of the radar beam. However, the bearing is usually taken relative to the ships heading, and thus, proper adjustment of the heading line at installation is an important factor in ensuring bearing accuracy. To minimize error when measuring the bearing of a target, put the target echo at the extreme position on the screen by se-

lecting a suitable range. 2.1.6 Range measurement Measurement of the range to a target is also a very important function of the radar. Generally, there are two means of measuring range: the fixed range rings and the vari-

able range marker (VRM). The fixed range rings appear on the screen with a prede-

termined interval and provide a rough estimate of the range to a target. The variable range markers diameter is increased or decreased so that the marker touches the in-

ner edge of the target, allowing the operator to obtain more accurate range measure-

ments. 2.2 False Echoes Occasionally echo signals appear on the screen at positions where there is no target or disappear even if there are targets. They are, however, recognized if you under-

stand the reason why they are displayed. Typical false echoes are shown below. Multiple echoes Multiple echoes occur when a transmitted pulse returns from a solid object like a large ship, bridge, or breakwater. A second, a third or more echoes may be observed on the display at double, triple or other multiples of the actual range of the target as shown below. Multiple reflection echoes can be reduced and often removed by decreasing the gain (sensitivity) or properly adjusting the A/C SEA control. True echo Target Your ship Multiple echo 2-3 2. RADAR OBSERVATION Sidelobe echoes Every time the radar pulse is transmitted, some radiation escapes on each side of the beam, called sidelobes. If a target exists where it can be detected by the side lobes as well as the main lobe, the side echoes may be represented on both sides of the true echo at the same range. Side lobes show usually only on short ranges and from strong targets. They can be reduced through careful reduction of the gain or proper adjust-

ment of the A/C SEA control. Mainlobe (beam) Sidelobe Sidelobe True target Antenna False echoes by sidelobes Virtual image A relatively large target close to your ship may be represented at two positions on the screen. One of them is the true echo directly reflected by the target and the other is a false echo which is caused by the mirror effect of a large object on or close to your ship as shown in the figure below. If your ship comes close to a large metal bridge, for example, such a false echo may temporarily be seen on the screen. Target ship Route for direct reflection Your ship True echo Bridge Route for indirect reflection False echo Mirror image of target ship 2-4 2. RADAR OBSERVATION Shadow sectors Funnels, stacks, masts, or derricks in the path of the antenna block the radar beam. If the angle subtended at the antenna is more than a few degrees, a non-detecting sec-

tor may be produced. Within this sector targets can not be detected. Radar position Wharf and its echo Radar position Shadow sector occurs because wharf is hidden behind ship. Wharf and its echo Shadow sector occurs because obstruction

(like mast) is in path of radar beam. Large ship Size of blind sector depends on size of obstruction and range. 2.3 SART (Search and Rescue Transponder) 2.3.1 SART description A Search and Rescue Transponder (SART) can be triggered by any X-Band (3 cm) radar within a range of approximately 8 nm. Each radar pulse received causes it to transmit a response which is swept repetitively across the complete radar frequency band. When interrogated, it first sweeps rapidly (0.4 s) through the band before be-

ginning a relatively slow sweep (7.5 s) through the band back to the starting frequen-

cy. This process is repeated for a total of twelve complete cycles. At some point in each sweep, the SART frequency will match that of the interrogating radar and be within the pass band of the radar receiver. If the SART is within range, the frequency match during each of the 12 slow sweeps will produce a response on the radar dis-

play, thus a line of 12 dots equally spaced by about 0.64 nautical miles will be shown. When the radar to the SART is reduced to about 1 nm, the radar display my show also the 12 responses generated during the fast sweeps. These additional dot responses, which also are equally spaced by 0.64 nautical miles, will be interspersed with the orig-

inal line of 12 dots. They will appear slightly weaker and smaller than the original dots. Screen A: When SART is distant Screen B: When SART is close Lines of 12 dots are displayed in concentric arcs.

RADAR OBSERVATION 2.3.2 How to show SART marks on the radar display This radar is equipped with a feature that optimally sets up the radar for SART detec-

tion. This feature automatically detunes the radar receiver out of its best tuning condi-

tion. This erases or weakens all normal radar echoes, but the SART marks are not erased because the SART response signal scans over all frequencies in the 9 GHz band. When the radar approaches the SART in operation, the SART marks will en-

large to large arcs, blurring a large part of the screen. 1. Open the menu. 2. Select [1 ECHO]. 3. Select [7 SART]. 4. Select [ON] to show SART marks on the radar display, or select [OFF] to hide SART marks. When the SART function is active, the settings listed in the following table are au-

tomatically made to radar functions:

Setting Range Pulselength Echo Stretch Noise Rejector Echo Averaging Interference Rejector Performance Monitor A/C RAIN Changed to... Magnetron radars 12 NM Long Solid state radars 24 NM or lower Dependent on range. See table below. Off Off Off Off Off Off For X-band solid state radars, the pulselength is fixed as follows while SART is active. Range (NM) 0.125 Pulselength S1 0.25 0.5 S2 0.75 1 1.5 2 3 4 6 8 12 16 24 M1 M2 L 5. Close the menu. The indication "SART" appears at the top of the screen, in yellow text, when this fea-

ture is active. Be sure to turn this feature off when SART detection is no longer your objective. Note 1: For magnetron radars, any changes made to the range while SART is active will deactivate SART. Note 2: X-band solid state radars allow the range to be changed while keeping SART active. SART must be turned off manually for X-band solid state radars. SART detec-

tion is not available for S-band solid state radars. 2.3.3 General remarks on receiving SARTs SART range errors When responses from only the 12 low frequency sweeps are visible (when the SART is at a range greater than about 1 nm), the position at which the first dot is displayed can be as much as 0.64 nm beyond the true position of the SART. When the range closes so that the fast sweep responses are seen also, the first of these will be no more than 150 meters beyond the true position. 2-6 2. RADAR OBSERVATION Radar bandwidth This is normally matched to the radar pulselength and is usually switched with the range scale and the associated pulselength. Narrow bandwidths of 3-5 MHz are used with long pulses on long range scales and wide bandwidths of 10-25 MHz with short pulses on short ranges. A radar bandwidth of less than 5 MHz will attenuate the SART signal slightly, so it is preferable to use a medium bandwidth to ensure optimum detection of the SART. Radar sidelobes As the SART is approached, sidelobes from the radar antenna can show the SART responses as a series of arcs or concentric rings. These can be removed by the use of the anti-clutter sea control although it can be operationally useful to observe the side lobes as they may be easier to detect in clutter conditions and also they will con-

firm that the SART is near to own ship. Note: SART information excerpted from IMO SN/Circ 197 OPERATION OF MARINE RADAR FOR SART DETECTION. 2.4 RACON A RACON is a radar beacon that emits radar receivable signals in the radar frequency spectrum (X- or S-band). There are several signal formats; in general, the RACON sig-

nal appears on the radar screen as a rectangular echo originating at a point just be-

yond the position of the radar beacon. It has a Morse coded pattern. Note that the position on the radar display is not accurate.

Unlike a SART or RACON, which are passive, the RTE receives a radar signal, amplifies it and re-transmits it, with the in-

tention of making the target's signal look larger on a radar display. The RTE is avail-

able in X-band and S-band types. 2-7 2. RADAR OBSERVATION 2.6 Solid state radar In Solid State radars, long-range and short-range pictures are mixed before they are displayed on the screen. Due to this mixing process, echoes may be displayed differ-

ently when compared with magnetron radars.

(depending on the pulse length)

(depending on the pulse length) Range and signal intensity At long-range, even though the Solid State radar has lower transmission power than magnetron radars, the signal intensity is equivalent. At short-range on the other hand, due to the lower transmission power the signal in-

tensity of closer targets (including sea clutter and rain clutter) is reduced. For this reason, when a long-range target enters short-range the signal intensity ap-

pears weaker. False echoes fore and aft of the target At long-range, echoes with a strong reflection may appear with a false echo to their fore and aft. When the target changes direction, the reflection may weaken, causing the false echoes to disappear. You can also reduce the false echoes in these cases by reducing the gain. False echoes Echo 2-8 3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) 3.1 Precautions when Using Target Tracking WARNING WARNIN CAUTION CAUTION No one navigational aid should be relied upon for the safety of vessel and crew. The navigator has the responsibility to check all aids available to confirm position. Electronic aids are not a substitute for basic navigational principles and common sense. This TT automatically tracks automatically or manually acquired radar targets and calculates their courses and speeds, indicating them by vectors. Since the data generated by the auto plotter are based on what radar targets are selected, the radar must always be optimally tuned for use with the auto plotter, to ensure required targets will not be lost or unwanted targets such as sea returns and noise will not be acquired and tracked. A target does not always mean a land-mass, reef, ships or other surface vessels but can imply returns from sea surface and clutter. As the level of clutter changes with environment, the operator should properly adjust the [A/C SEA], [A/C RAIN] and [GAIN]

controls to be sure target echoes are not eliminated from the radar screen. The plotting accuracy and response of this TT meets IMO standards. Tracking accuracy is affected by the following:

Tracking accuracy is affected by course change. One to two minutes is required to restore vectors to full accuracy after an abrupt course change. (The actual amount depends on gyrocompass specifications.) The amount of tracking delay is inversely proportional to the relative speed of the target. Delay is on the order of 15 - 30 seconds for high relative speed; 30 - 60 seconds for low relative speed. The target tracking and pertinent vector calculation accuracy is influenced by the following:

- Echo intensity

- The range measurement accuracy;

characterized by both random and biased measurement errors.

- The angular measurement accuracy;

characterized by beam shape, target glint and bias errors.

- Radar transmission pulsewidth

- Gyrocompass heading error

- Speed log error

- Curent and wind (set & drift)

- Course change (own ship and target) The data generated by TT, AIS and video plotter are intended for reference only. Refer to official nautical charts for detailed and up-to-date information. 3-1 3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) 3.2 TT Controls The control unit has three keys that are used in the target tracking mode.

pears within one minute to indicate the target's motion trend. Within three minutes, the initial tracking stage is finished and the target becomes ready for stable tracking. At this time, the dashed circle changes to a solid circle. Vector At acquisition Within 1 min. after acquisition Stable tracking 3.5.1 How to manually acquire a target Acquire a target from the Control Unit (RCU-014) Use the trackball to place the cursor on the target you want to acquire, then press the ACQ key. Acquire a target by the trackball module 1. When the target to acquire and the AIS symbol overlap one another, right-click the operational display area to show the [CURSOR MENU] then select [TT TARGET DATA/ACQ] to acquire the target. 2. Place the cursor on the target to acquire then left-click. The plotting symbol is drawn by a dashed circle during the initial acquisition stage. A vector appears approximately one minute after acquisition. The vector indicates the motion trend of the target. If the target is consistently detected for three minutes, the plotting symbol changes to a solid circle. If acquisition fails, the target symbol blinks. 3-4 3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) Note 1: For successful acquisition, the target should be within 24 NM (or 32 NM, de-

pending on initial setting) from own ship and not obscured by sea or rain clutter. Note 2: You are alerted when the capacity of manual acquisition is 95% and 100%. These alerts are "TT TGT 95%(MAN)" and "TT TGT FULL(MAN)". If the capacity is 100% you cannot acquire more targets. Cancel tracking of non-threatening targets if you wish to acquire additional targets manually. Note 3: When a target being tracked nears another target being tracked, the targets may be swapped. When two targets acquired either automatically or manually come close to each other, one of the two may become a lost target. If this occurs, manual re-

acquisition of the lost target may be necessary after the two have separated. Note 4: You can reuse a target number. This is useful when you acquire the wrong target. Drag and drop the symbol onto the correct target. 3.5.2 How to automatically acquire targets Targets are automatically acquired when the TT mode is set to other than [MANUAL 100] and a target enters the acquisition zone (see section 3.16). The maximum track-

ing distance (24 NM or 32 NM) is set at installation. 3.6 How to Enter Own Ship Speed The TT requires own ship's speed and heading data. The speed can be STW, SOG or echo-referenced speed (based on 3 max. stationary objects). Manual input is also possible. For automatic or manual input, see section 1.12. For echo-referenced speed input follow the procedure below. 3.6.1 Echo-referenced speed input The use of echo-referenced speed is recommended when:

The speed log is not operating properly or not connected to the radar. The vessel has no device (doppler sonar, speed log, etc.) that can measure ship's bow-stern, port-starboard movement. If you select echo-referenced speed, the TT calculates own ship's speed relative to a fixed reference target. The number of targets may be R1, R2 or R3. When a plural of objects are selected, the mean value is used, for stabilization and speed. 1. Right-click the operational display area to show the [CURSOR MENU]. 2. Select [REF MARK]. The cursor is highlighted to indicate that the reference mark function is active. 3. Place the cursor on a fixed echo (such as an island, etc.) at a range of 0.1 to 24 NM from own ship, to be used as a reference, then left-click. The cursor changes from the highlighted cross to a circle with dashed lines, indicating that the refer-

ence location is now set. See section 3.9 for more information on TT symbols and their attributes. At acquisition Stable tracking The dashed lines of the reference point change to a solid line over time, as shown in the figure above. 3-5 3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) 4. Repeat step 3 until to place up to three reference points. 5. Right-click to deactivate the reference mark function. 6. Right-click the [SPD] indication at the top-right of the screen to show the [SPEED] menu. 7. Select [2 SHIP SPEED]. 8. Select [REF]. 9. Close the menu. It takes approximately one minute for the speed to appear in the own ship information box. When the speed appears, the indication "REF BT" also appears to the right of the speed value. Notes on speed input by reference target Reference targets are only used for the calculation of true speed. Do not use reference target generated true speed to calculate relative speed. Relative speed data is not accurate because response to speed change is slow, hampering the TT's ability to accurately judge the possibility of collision. Select a stationary target as a reference target to calculate own ship speed as ground tracking speed. Do not choose a moving target as a reference target. A mov-

ing target produces error in the vector for TT and AIS, which results in wrong colli-

sion avoidance information. Further, an unstable stationary target produces inaccurate speed data and the target itself may become lost. On IMO-type radars with AIS in use, echo-referenced speed is shown in gray to in-

dicate they are not available for selection. When a reference target is lost or goes out of the acquisition range, that reference target mark blinks and the alert box shows "REF TARGET LOST". If all reference targets are lost, the speed indication reads "*.*" Select a different reference target if currently selected one is lost. When all targets are deleted, the reference target mark is also deleted and the tar-

get-based speed becomes invalid. The speed is indicated as "BTREF" where BT means Bottom Track (speed over ground). Reference targets can be marked with a vector. This can be done with [4 DISP REF TGT VECTOR] on the [TT] menu. Loss of reference target will affect the calculation of true speed and true course of targets. Further, own ship speed will be inaccurate. How to cancel echo-referenced speed input 1. Open the menu. 2. Select [7 INFORMATION BOX]. 3. Select [2 OWN SHIP INFO]. 4. Select [3 SPEED]. The [SPEED] menu appears. 5. Select any option, other than [REF], then press the ENTER MARK key. 6. Close the menu. 3-6 3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) 3.7 How to Cancel Target Tracking When the number of tracked targets reaches maximum capacity, the alert box shows

"TT TGT FULL(MAN)" or "TT TGT FULL(AUTO)", based on the selected TT mode. No new targets can be acquired until a tracked target is lost or tracking is canceled. When this occurs, cancel tracking for non-dangerous targets as required. 3.7.1 How to cancel tracking for individual TT targets Using the control unit (RCU-014) 1. Place the cursor on the tracked target, or tracked targets data, to cancel. 2. Press the TARGET CANCEL key. Using the CURSOR menu Note: This methods requires [TGT CANCEL SETTING] in the second page of the

[CURSOR MENU] to be set as [ANY] or [TT ONLY]. 1. Right-click the operational display area to show the [CURSOR MENU]. 2. Select [TARGET CANCEL], then left-click. 3. Select the tracked target to cancel, then left-click. 4. Right-click to complete the procedure. 3.7.2 How to cancel tracking for all TT targets Using the control unit (RCU-014) Press and hold the TARGET CANCEL key. Using the menu 1. Open the menu. 2. Select [5 TTAIS]. 3. Select [6 TT]. 4. Select [3 ALL CANCEL]. 5. Select [YES] to cancel tracking for all TT targets. 6. Close the menu. 3-7 3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) 3.8 Lost Target Targets not detected in nine consecutive scans become lost targets. A lost target is shown in the display with a flashing red "". Flashing stops after the lost target alert is acknowledged. Further, the alert box shows the "TT TARGET LOST" alert in orange characters and the audible alert sounds. The symbol disappears when the alert is ac-

knowledged. If you are in an area where tracked targets are lost frequently, you may want to disable the lost target alert against tracked targets by maximum range. 3.8.1 How to set the lost target filter You can set the lost target alert to sound against lost targets that are within a specific range. To set the criteria, use the procedure below. 1. Open the menu. 2. Select [5 TTAIS]. 3. Select [6 TT]. 4. Select [7 TT LOST TGT FILTER]. 5. Select [MAX RANGE]. 6. Select [ON]. The settings can now be adjusted. 7. Spin the scrollwheel to adjust the setting as re-

quired, then left-click to apply the setting. 8. Close the menu. Note: Reference targets are not affected by this filter. 3.8.2 How to enable/disable the lost target alert The [LOST TARGET] box, located at the bottom-right corner of the screen, enables and disables the lost target alert. Select the box with the cursor, then left-click to cycle through the settings in the follow-

ing order: [OFF] [FILT] [ALL] [OFF]... OFF Lost target filter setting

TARGET TRACKING (TT) 3.12 Vector Modes Target vectors can be displayed relative to own ships heading (Relative) or North

(True). Note: IMO recommends the use of true vector mode in sea stabilization or relative vector mode for collision avoidance. 3.12.1 Description of vectors Stabilization modes It is important to select the optimum stabilization mode for the radar display. To assess risk of collision the relative motion of a target gives the clearest indication of CPA and may be monitored by observing either the direction of the target's relative trail, or the CPA predicted by the relative vector. By default, relative motion displays relative target trails and true motion displays true target trails. Where true target trails is selected, a sea stabilized display will indicate all targets' motion through the water. A ground sta-

bilized display will indicate all targets' motion over the ground. In coastal, estuarine and river waters where a significant set and drift may be experi-

enced, a sea stabilized display will produce significant target trails from all fixed (sta-

tionary) objects possibly producing an unacceptably high level of clutter and masking. In such circumstances a ground stabilized display may reduce its effect and enable the observer to detect clearly the trails of moving targets, thus enhancing the observ-

er's situational awareness. However, the display should be considered only as an approximation of the course and speed made good over the ground. Among other factors, the accuracy of the ground-stabilization is affected by inaccuracies in speed and heading inputs as well as radar measurement imprecision and will require the display to be readjusted peri-

odically. The information displayed should be interpreted with due regard to these fac-

tors. Note: It should be noted that in determining a target's aspect by radar; the calculation of its true track is dependent on the choice and accuracy of the own ship's course and speed input. A ground-stabilized target plot may accurately calculate the ground track of the target, but the target's heading may be significantly different from its track when experiencing set, drift or leeway. Similarly, a sea stabilized target plot may be inaccu-

rate when own ship and the target, are experiencing different rates of set, drift or lee-

way. 3-16 3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) Ground stabilization and sea stabilization Target vectors can be ground stabilized or sea stabilized in the True Motion mode. To select speed over the ground or speed through the water data, open the page from the menu. Select for ground stabilization or for sea stabilization. The vector mode indica-

tion shows the stabilization mode in the true motion as [TRUE-G] or [TRUE-S]. Sea stabilization is a mode where own ship and all targets are referenced to the sea using a compass heading and single-axis log water speed inputs in the true motion mode. Ground stabilization is a mode where own ship and all targets are referenced to the ground using the ground track or set and drift inputs. If the accuracy seems un-

satisfactory, enter set and drift corrections. Note that set and drift should not be used when the radar is displaying AIS targets. True vector In the true motion mode, all fixed targets such as land, navigational marks and ships at anchor remain stationary on the radar screen with vector length zero. But in the presence of wind and/or current, the vectors appear on fixed targets representing the reciprocal of set and drift affecting own ship unless set and drift values are properly entered. In the true vector mode, there are two types of stabilization: ground stabilization

(TRUE-G) and sea stabilization (TRUE-S). The stabilization mode is automatically se-

lected according to speed selection, as shown in the table below. Manual selection is available from the [SPD] menu at the top-right of the screen. Speed selection True vector mode LOG(WT) LOG(WTC) LOG(BT) EPFS(BT) REF(BT) MAN(WT) MAN(WTC) TRUE-S TRUE-G TRUE-G TRUE-G TRUE-G TRUE-S TRUE-G Relative vector Relative vectors on targets that are not moving over the ground such as land, naviga-

tional marks and ships at anchor will represent the reciprocal of own ship's ground track. A target whose vector passes through own ship is on a collision course. (Dotted lines in the figure are for explanation only.) TT Buoy TT Current

TARGET TRACKING (TT) 3.12.2 Vector mode and length Vectors can be displayed in true or relative modes. Vector lengths can be set between 30 seconds and 60 minutes. The vector tip shows an estimated position of the target after the selected vector time elapses. It can be valuable to extend the vector length to evaluate the risk of collision with any target. How to change the vector mode Place the cursor on the vector reference indication in the [Vector] box, then left-click to cycle through the following settings.

TARGET TRACKING (TT) 3.13 Past Position Display The past position display shows equally time-spaced dots marking the past positions of any targets being tracked. A new dot is added every minute (or at other preset time intervals) until the preset number is reached. If a target changes its speed, the spacing will be uneven. If it changes the course, its plotted course will not be a straight line. Past position orientation, true or relative, is controlled with [TRAIL MODE] in the

[TRAIL] context menu. To adjust the trail orientation, see section 1.37.1. 3.13.1 How to display past position points and select the plotting in-

terval Select the [PAST POSN] setting, then left-click to cycle through the following settings.

TARGET TRACKING (TT) 3.14 Set and Drift Set, the direction in which a water current flows, can be manually entered in 0.1-de-

gree steps. Drift, also known as Rate, or the speed of the current, can also be en-

tered manually in 0.1-knot steps. When course through water and speed through water are available, activate set and drift to get course over ground and speed over ground. Set and drift corrections are beneficial for increasing the accuracy of vectors and tar-

get data. Refer to the tide table on board the ship for setting information. These values are applied to all targets. If stationary targets have vectors, set and drift values should be adjusted until they lose vectors. To enter set and drift do the following:

1. Open the menu. 2. Select [7 INFORMATION BOX]. 3. Select [2 OWN SHIP INFO]. 4. Select [3 SPEED]. Note: You can also right-click the [SPD] box to access this menu. 5. Select [4 SET DRIFT]. 6. Select [ON]. The setting can now be adjusted and [SET] is selected. 7. Spin the scrollwheel to select the appropriate setting (Setting range: 000.0 to 359.9), then left-click. The [DRIFT] setting is now selected. 8. Spin the scrollwheel to select the appropriate setting (Setting range: 00.0kn to 19.9kn), then left-click. 9. Close the menu. Note 1: Set and drift are available when using manually input speed, speed through the water. The speed source is shown as "WTC" (Water Tracking Count). Note 2: Set and drift should be checked periodically for correctness. Note 3: When speed data input from the position sensor is valid, set and drift are not adjustable. 3-20 3.15 Collision Alarm (CPA, TCPA) This radar calculates CPA and TCPA by using own ship and relative target positions. 3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) CAUTION The TT continuously monitors the pre-

dicted range at the Closest Point of Ap-

proach (CPA) and predicted time to CPA (TCPA) of each TT. When the predicted CPA of any TT becomes smaller than a preset CPA range and its predicted TCPA less than a preset TCPA limit, the audio alarm sounds and "CPA/TCPA" appears (in red, flashing) in the Alert Box. In addition, the symbol of the offending TT is red and flashes together with its vector. CPA/TCPA Alarm The CPA and TCPA alarm feature should never be relied upon as the sole means for detecting the risk of collision.The navigator is not relieved of the responsibility to keep visual lookout for avoiding collisions, whether or not the radar or other plotting aid is in use. This feature, when used correctly, helps prevent the risk of collision by alerting you to threatening targets. It is important that GAIN, A/C SEA, A/C RAIN and other radar con-

trols are properly adjusted. CPA and TCPA ranges must be set up properly taking into consideration the size, ton-

nage, speed, turning performance and other characteristics of own ship. The reference point for CPA and TCPA calculation can be selected from antenna po-

sition or conning position. For further details, see section 1.50. 3.15.1 How to set the CPA and TCPA ranges CPA and TCPA ranges can be adjusted from the ap-

propriate indication in the [TT] box. 1. Left-click the [CPA/TCPA] indication to activate the feature. 2. Place the cursor on the indication you wish to adjust. CPA setting TCPA setting Left-click here to activate CPA/TCPA settings. 3. Left-click, or spin the scrollwheel, to adjust the settings as required. The settings options are outlined in the table below.

TARGET TRACKING (TT) 3.15.2 How to acknowledge the TT collision alarm Press the ALARM ACK key on the control unit, or select the [ALERT] box with the trackball then left-click to acknowledge the alarm and silence the buzzer. The alert

"CPA/TCPA" remains in the Alert Box until the dangerous situation is gone or you in-

tentionally terminate target tracking. The symbol and vector stop flashing and are dis-

played in a solid red color. Note: When the "CPA/TCPA" alert is generated the AIS display is automatically turned on. 3.16 Acquisition Zone The acquisition zone functions both to alert you targets in a specific area and acts as an automatic acquisition area when automatic target acquisition is active. Any targets entering the zone will be automatically acquired. When a target enters an acquisition zone, the buzzer sounds and "TT NEW TARGET"

or "AIS NEW TARGET" appears (in yellow-orange) in the Alert Box. The symbol of the offending target is red and flashing. Further, the AIS display is automatically turned on if it is off. There are two types of acquisition zones available, arc and polygon, however, AZ1 can only be set as an arc. Note: The acquisition zones are disabled when the setting for [2 AZ/ALR SELECT] in the [ACQUISITION ZONE] menu is set to [TARGET ALARM ZONE]. 3.16.1 How to enable the acquisition zones 1. Open the menu. 2. Select [5 TTAIS]. 3. Select [2 ACQUISITION ZONE]. 4. Select [2 AZ/ALR SELECT]. 5. Select [ACQUISITION ZONE]. 6. Close the menu. 3-22 3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) 3.16.2 How to activate the first acquisition zone (AZ1) The No. 1 acquisition zone is available between 3 NM and 6 NM and can have a width between 0.5 NM and 1 NM. The TT/AIS acquisition zones lines are white and dashed so as to distinguish them from the radar target alarm. The procedure below shows how to set AZ1, using the example at the bottom of the page. 1. Place the cursor on the [1:] indication at the bottom-right of the screen, then left-click. The AZ zone setting reads "1: SET"

and the cursor moves inside the opera-

tional display area. 2. Place the cursor on the acquisition zone starting point (A in the figure to the right), then left-click. 3. Place the cursor on the acquisition zone end point (B in the figure to the right), then left-click. The AZ zone setting now reads "1: WORK". A 0.5 to 1 NM 0.5 to 1 NM B Target in acquisition zone is red and flashing 3.16.3 How to set a polygon acquisition zone (AZ2) Note: This procedure is not available if [5 AZ POLYGON] in the [ACQUISITION ZONE] menu is set to [OFF]. The No. 2 acquisition zone can be set anywhere when the No. 1 zone is already in use. Polygon zones must have at least three points. To set a polygon shaped acquisition zone:

1. Place the cursor on the [2:] acquisition zone indication at the bottom-right of the screen, then left-click. The cursor moves inside the operational display area. 2. Place the cursor on the acquisition zone starting point, then left-click. 3. Place the cursor on the second point, then left-click. 4. Repeat step 3 as required to set the remaining points of the polygon zone. 5. Right-click to complete the acquisition zone set up. Note: If 10 points are used for the polygon, the zone setup is automatically com-

pleted and there is no need to right-click. Notes on acquisition zones If you wish to create an acquisition zone having a 360-degree coverage around own ship, set point B in almost the same direction (approx. 3) as point A. The default acquisition zone is fan shaped. It can also be a polygon having 3-10 points. If both AZ1 and AZ2 are displayed, a maximum of four polygon points are shown. TT and AIS are automatically set to TT=AUTO MAN and AIS=DISP, respectively, when an AZ is activated in the following conditions:

TT: TT=OFF or TT=MANUAL 100 AIS: AIS FUNC=OFF or AIS DISP=OFF 3-23 3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) 3.16.4 How to sleep/deactivate an acquisition zone 1. Select the appropriate [AZ] box. 2. Sleep, or deactivate, the acquisition zone, as explained below:

Sleeping the acquisition zone Left-click the box several times until the indication shows "SLEEP". Deactivating the acquisition zone Left-click the box until the AZ box becomes blank. Note: When both zones ([1:] and [2:]) are active, [2:] must be deactivated before

[1:] can be deactivated. If [1:] and [2:] are active when you try to deactivate [1:], the system releases an audible alert and shows the message "DELETE AZ2 FIRST". 3.16.5 How to acknowledge the acquisition zone alert Press the ALARM ACK key on the control unit, or select the [ALERT] box with the trackball then left-click to acknowledge the alarm and silence the buzzer. 3.16.6 How to select the target type to acquire (B/W-types only) You can set the radar to acquire on TT targets, or both AIS and TT targets.

TARGET TRACKING (TT) 3.17 Trial Maneuvers The trial maneuver feature simulates the effect of own ship's movement against all tracked targets, without interrupting the updating of target information. It is available for use with the TT and AIS functions. For more accurate results, use sea stabilization

(water tracking). 3.17.1 Types of trial maneuvers There are two types of trial maneuvers: dynamic and static. Dynamic trial maneuver A dynamic trial maneuver displays predicted positions of the tracked targets and own ship. You enter own ship's intended speed and course with a certain "delay time." Assuming that all tracked targets maintain their present speeds and courses, the targets' and own ship's future movements are simulated in 0.5-

second increments indicating their predicted positions in 30-second intervals as illustrated in the right figure. Delay time = 2 m 30 s. Current position The delay time represents the time lag from the present time to the time when own ship will actually start to change her speed and/or course. You should therefore take into consid-

eration own ship's maneuvering characteris-

tics such as rudder delay, turning delay and acceleration delay. This is particularly important on large vessels. How much the delay is set the situation starts immediately and ends in a minute. In the example shown below, own ship will advance straight ahead (even after a ma-

neuver) for a delay time of 2:30 and alters speed and course until operator-specified intended speed and course are achieved (position OS7 in this example). 3-27 3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) Static trial maneuver The static trial maneuver shows the relationship between your ship and tracked tar-

gets at the completion of the trial maneuver. The expected position of TTs at the end of the trial maneuver are shown on the display. By shortening and extending the trial time you can find the safe time to make a ma-

neuver. Thus, the static trial maneuver will be convenient when you wish to know the maneuver result immediately. Position of target B at end of trial maneuver Course and speed changes completed; position where course and speed are changed Position of target A at end of trial maneuver B Delay time Current position A T 3.17.2 How to perform a trial maneuver To set up and perform a trial maneuver, do the following:

1. Open the menu. 2. Select [5 TTAIS]. 3. Select [3 TRIAL MANEUVER]. 4. Select [2 TRIAL MANEUVER]. 5. Select [OFF], [STATIC] or [DYNAMIC] as appropriate. 6. Select [3 SPEED RATE]. 7. Set the speed rate as required. 8. Select [4 TRIAL TURN RATE]. 9. Set the turn rate for the trial as required. Note: Two sets of trial speed and trial turn rate combinations are provided. This is done to provide accurate trial maneuver results for various ship's speeds and turn rates. 3-28 Setting example for [3 TRIAL SPEED RATE]

rent course and speed at the time when the trial maneuver set up starts. 13. Select the trial maneuver course and reference indication, then left-click. 3-29 3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) 14. Spin the scrollwheel to set the course, then left-click. The reference is not changeable here. 15. Set the speed in the same manner as the course. 16. Select the delay time indication, then left-click. 17. Spin the scrollwheel to set the amount of delay. This is the time after which own ship takes a new situation, not the time the simulation begins. Change the delay time according to own ship loading condition, etc. The time indication depends on trial type:

[DYNAMIC]: The position of your ship and TTs is displayed every 30 seconds and updating occurs every 0.5 seconds.

[STATIC]: The position of your ship and TTs when set course and speed are reached are displayed. Put the cursor in the Trial time indication and roll the scroll-

wheel. Increase or decrease the time to get a safe maneuver. If a maneuver is un-

safe, change speed, course and delay until it is safe. 18. Highlight the [TRIAL] status indication, then left-click. The indication changes from

"SET" to show a timer for the trial maneuver and the maneuver begins. The trial maneuver takes place with the letter "T" displayed at the bottom of the screen. The time appears at the top-right position on the display. If any TT is predicted to be on a collision course with own ship (that is, the target ship comes within preset CPA/

TCPA limits), the target plotting symbol flashes. If this happens, change own ship's tri-

al speed, course or delay time to obtain a safe maneuver. 3.17.3 How to stop the trial maneuver You can stop the maneuver at any time by placing the cursor on the [TRIAL] status indication, then press and hold the left mouse button until "OFF" is shown. When [DYNAMIC] is selected as the maneuver type, the maneuver automatically stops when the trial timer reaches 60 minutes. When [STATIC] is selected as the maneuver type, the maneuver automatically stops when there is no operation of the [TRIAL] box for more than one minute. 3-30 3.18 TT System Messages There are four main reasons the TT may trigger the audio and visual alerts:

tered an acquisition zone. The tracked tar-

get's symbol is red and flashing. Warning When the system detects a loss of a tracked target, the lost tracked target symbol appears in red and flashes. At the same time, an audio alert is produced for one sec-

ond. The lost target mark disappears from the screen after the lost tar-

get alert is acknowl-

edged. Warning When the system detects a loss of a reference tar-

get, the target symbol turns red and flashes. At the same time, an audio alert is produced for one second. The reference target mark disappears from the screen after the reference target alarm is acknowledged. Warning Appears when capacity for automatically (manu-

ally) acquired targets is full. Appears when capacity for automatically (manu-

acquire if necessary. To continue using a refer-

enced target for speed in-

put, select another tracked target. To continue acquiring tar-

gets, cancel tracking for un-

necessary targets. 3-31 3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) 3.19 TT Simulation Mode You can simulate the risk of a collision by using the TT simulation mode. This function can be used for familiarization training for your crew. The simulation can be terminated at any time by pressing the STBY TX key. 1. Open the menu. 2. Select [9 INITIAL SETTINGS]. 3. Select [7 TESTS]. 4. Select [4 TT SIMULATION MODE]. The normal operation is suspended then three simulated targets appear on the dis-

play. The indication "S" appears at the bottom of the effective display area during the sim-

ulation mode. The simulation may be terminated any time by going to the STBY mode. Three simulated targets move as the following table. The simulated target is automat-

ically generated with the relative movement in the following table based on own ship's movement at the start of simulation mode. Note: If own ship moves after the start of simulation mode, the movement of the sim-

ulated target is not matched with the values in the following table. Range (R) Bearing (R) Speed (R) Course (R) CPA TCPA Target 01 Target 02 Target 03 9.5 NM 1.1 NM 9.3 NM 270.0 333.0 45.0 20.0 kn 10.2 kn 19.9 kn 90.0 90.2 225.1 0.0 NM 28.5 min 1.0 NM 2.9 min 0.0 NM 28.0 min 03 01 02 S Place the cursor on a target, then press the ACQ key to display the target data. Acquire the simulated targets after the TT simulation mode is performed. The tracking state changes from unstable to stable and the vector appears. You can simulate the movement of each function with changing true/relative vector, stabilization through the water/over the ground, range or length of vector. Repeat the check for all targets. 3-32 3.20 Criteria for Tracking Target Selection 3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) The FURUNO TT video processor detects targets in midst of noise and discriminates radar echoes on the basis of their size. Target whose echo measurements are greater than those of the largest ship in range or tangential extent are usually land and are displayed only as normal radar video. All smaller ship-sized echoes that are less than this dimension, are further analyzed and regarded as ships and displayed as small cir-

cles superimposed over the video echo. When a target is first displayed, it is shown as having zero true speed but develops a course vector as more information is collected. In accordance with the International Marine Organization Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (IMO TT) requirements, an indica-

tion of the motion trend should be available within 20 scans of antenna and full vector accuracy within 60 scans. The FURUNO TTs comply with these requirements. Acquisition and tracking criteria A target which is hit by five consecutive radar pulses, is detected as a radar echo. Manual acquisition is done by designating a detected echo with the trackball.Automat-

ic acquisition is done in the acquisition areas when a target is detected 5-7 times con-

tinuously depending upon the congestion. Tracking is achieved the target is clearly distinguishable on the display for 5 out of 10 consecutive scans, whether acquired au-

tomatically or manually. Required tracking facilities are available within 0.1-32 nm on range scales including 3, 6, 12 nm, full plotting information is available within one scan when the range scale has been changed. Targets not detected in five consecutive scans become lost targets. Quantization The entire picture is converted to a digital from called Quantized Video. A sweep range is divided into small segments and each range element is1 if there is radar echo return above a threshold level, or 0 if there is no return. The digital radar signal is then analyzed by a ship-sized echo discriminator. As the an-

tenna scans, if there are five consecutive radar pulses with 1s indicating an echo presence at the exact same range, a target start is initiated. Since receiver noise is random, it is not three-bang correlated, and it is filtered out and not classified as an echo. The same is true of radar interference. Electronic circuits track both the closet and most distant edges of the echo. At the end of the scanning of the echo, the discrimi-

nator indicates the measured maximum range extent and total angular extent sub-

tended by the echo. If the echo is larger than a ship-sized echo in range extent and/or angular width, adjusted as a function of range, it is declared to be a coastline and the closet edge is put into memory as a map of the area. This land outline is used to inhibit further acquisition and tracking of ship-sized echoes beyond the closest coast outline. Five consecutive scans of coastal outline are re-

tained in memory to allow for signal variation. All smaller echoes are declared to be ship sized and the middle of the leading edge is used to provide precise range and bearing co-ordinates of each echo on every scan. This range/bearing data is matched to previous data and analyzed from scan-to-scan for consistency. When it is deter-

mined to be as consistent as a real target, automatic acquisition occurs and tracking is initiated. Continued tracking and subsequent calculation develop the relative course and speed of the target. 3-33 3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) The true course and speed of own ship are computed from own ship's gyro and speed inputs, and the resulting course and speed of each tracked target is easily computed by vector summing of the relative motion with own ships course and speed. The re-

sulting true or relative vector is displayed for each of the tracked targets. This process is updated continually for each target on every scan of the radar. Qualitative description of tracking error The FURUNO TT's accuracy complies with or exceed IMO standards. Own ship maneuvers For slow turns there is no effect. For very high turning rates (greater than 150/minute, depending on gyro), there is some influence on all tracked targets that lasts for a min-

ute or two then all tracked targets revert to full accuracy. Other ship maneuvers Target ship courses, lag 15 to 30 seconds at high relative speed, or 3 to 6 seconds at low (near 0) relative speed. It is less accurate during a turn due to lag, but accuracy recovers quickly. 3.21 Factors Affecting Target Tracking Sea returns If the radar anti-clutter control is adjusted properly, there is no serious effect because distant wave clutter, not eliminated by this control, is filtered out by more than one bang correlation and scan-to-scan matching of data. Rain and snow Rain clutter can be acquired and tracked as targets. Adjust the rain clutter control to suppress the clutter. If it is heavy rain, switch to S-band if provided, or switch on the interference rejector on the radar. If heavy clutter still exists, switch to manual acqui-

sition. Accuracy can be affected. Low clouds Usually no affect. If necessary, adjust the rain clutter control. Non-synchronous emissions No effect. Low gain Insufficient or low radar receiver gain will result in some targets not being acquired at long distance. The TT display will be missing on one or more targets that could only be visible if the radar sensitivity control (GAIN control) were increased. The setting of the correct radar receiver gain is not critical but the target should be on the radar PPI and be clearly visible and well defined. Manual acquisition is done if a target is positively displayed more than once. Automat-

ic acquisition is done when the target is detected 5-7 times continuously. 3-34 3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) Tracking continues if a return echo is received at least once in nine antenna rotations. However, the fewer the return echoes the lower the accuracy. If no return echo is re-

ceived within nine antenna rotations the target is declared a lost target. Second trace echoes When the radar beam is super refracted, strong echoes may be received at such long ranges that they appear on a different timebase sweep than the transmitted pulse. This gives an incorrect range indication. Second- and third-trace echoes can be tracked if they are consistent enough to meet acquisition and tracking criteria but tar-

get course and speed data will be in error. Blind and shadow sectors Radar shadow or blind areas caused by obstructions aboard the ship, for example, funnels and masts, in the path of the radar beam can result in reduction of radar beam intensity in that particular direction. This may eliminate the detection of some targets. The TT system will lose track of targets shortly after they are lost on the radar picture and if they remain in a blind zone. These targets will however be acquired and tracked when they pass out of the blind zone and again present normal radar echo. The an-

gular width and bearing of any shadow sector should be determined for their influence on the radar. In certain cases false echoes in the shadow sector cause the TT system to acquire, track, and vector them. Shadow sectors should be avoided. Indirect echoes A target at close range is usually picked up directly, but it can also be received as re-

flection from a large, flat surface. This will result in the radar presenting two or more echoes on the display, each at a different range. The TT system can acquire and track a false echo if it is detected in five consecutive scans. Reduction in radar gain can eliminate the multiple echoing but care should be taken as range detection also will be reduced. Radar interference If interference is extreme due to another radar operating at close range, spiral "dotting"

and/or false targets may appear momentarily. The interference rejector can clear the display. Delay of sensor input If the refresh rate of the gyrocompass signal is too slow, error in target bearing occurs when own ship turns. To prevent this error, the refresh rate of the gyrocompass signal must be as indicated in the System Configuration drawings. 3-35 3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) This page is intentionally left blank. 3-36 4. AIS OPERATION An AIS transponder can be connected to this radar to overlay AIS targets on the radar display. The radar can store up to 1,200 AIS targets in its storage buffer. When this buffer becomes full of AIS targets, the Alert "AIS CPTY FULL" is generated to alert you to full storage buffer. The storage buffer contains automatic dead reckoning for all AIS targets, which is based on reported Speed Over the Ground (SOG) and Course Over the Ground (COG). The storage buffer also contains calculation of range, bearing, CPA, TCPA, etc. The CPA and TCPA limits set for dangerous targets are common for TT and AIS targets. This radar can activate 50 AIS targets. The Alert "ACTIVE AIS FULL" is generated when 50 AIS targets are activated. This radar can display a maximum of 350 AIS targets. The Alert "AIS DISPLAY FULL"

is generated when 350 AIS targets, which includes both activated and sleeping tar-

gets, are displayed. The frequency for update of AIS transponder-sent data depends on speed and course of tracked AIS target. The table below shows the IMO standardized reporting rates for the AIS transponder. Based on the table below, the radar defines which AIS targets are in tracking or lost. When you acknowledge a lost target alert, the corresponding AIS symbol will be removed from the display. Type of Ship Class A: Navigation status is anchor or not under command or moored or aground, and SOG 3kn Class A: Navigation status is anchor or not under command or moored or aground, and SOG > 3kn Class A: 0kn SOG < 14kn Class A: 14kn SOG 23kn Class A: SOG > 23kn Class B: CS SOG 2kn Class B: CS SOG > 2kn Class B: SO 0 kn SOG 2kn Class B: SO 2 kn < SOG < 14kn Class B: SO 14 kn SOG 23kn Class B: SO SOG > 23kn Class A and Class B: no SOG available AIS SAR aircraft AIS aid to navigation AIS base station AIS search and rescue transponder IMO nominal reporting interval 3 min Lost target indication

Additionally, the AIS transponder receives messages from ships and non-ships (AIS SAR aircraft, AIS aid to navigation, AIS base station, and AIS search and rescue transmitter). 4-1 4. AIS OPERATION There can be several hundreds or several thousands of AIS targets, and of those only a few will be significant for your ship. To remove unnecessary AIS targets from the radar display, the feature active and sleeping AIS targets is available. Initially any new AIS target received by an AIS transponder is not active (= sleeping). Such sleeping targets are shown with a small triangle. The operator can pick any AIS target and change it from sleeping to active. Active AIS targets are shown with a large triangle with speed vector, headline, ROT indicator, etc. Further, the operator can pick active AIS targets and change their status to sleeping. An indication of AIS target activated capacity limit is given well before it is reached. When 95% of 50 targets are activated, the Alert "ACTIVE AIS 95%" appears. When 50 targets are activated, the Alert "ACTIVE AIS FULL" appears. Sleep any unnecessary AIS targets to allow acquisition of new targets. An indication of AIS target display capacity limit is given well before it is reached. When 95% of 350 targets are displayed, the Alert "AIS DISPLAY 95%" appears. When 350 targets are displayed, the Alert "AIS DISPLAY FULL" appears. An indication of AIS target processing capacity limit is given well before it is reached. The Alert "AIS CPTY FULL" appears when 1,200 targets are in the storage buffer. When capacity-related AIS alerts occur, you can reduce the number of AIS targets to display from [AIS DISP FILTER] in the [AIS] menu. See section 4.5. This radar generates AIS-related alerts. These are Alert "CPA/TCPA" and Alert "AIS TARGET LOST". Only active AIS targets generate alerts. The operator can activate or sleep AIS target alerts as desired. The feature active and sleeping AIS targets is very effective for focusing on only those AIS targets that need supervision. This radar further eases the task of the operator by automatically changing non-active targets to active tar-

gets, if their CPA and TCPA are within a preset limit. 4.1 Controls for AIS The control unit has three keys that are used in the AIS mode. The keys are indicated in the figure below.

AIS OPERATION 4.4 AIS Symbols and Their Meanings When the AIS display is active, each AIS target is marked with a symbol that indicates the targets status. For the meaning of each AIS symbol, see "AIS symbols" on page AP-44. Note 1: The equipment continues to process AIS targets when the AIS feature is de-

activated. When the AIS is activated again, symbols are immediately displayed. Note 2: AIS symbols are momentarily erased and the screen is redrawn after the heading is changed in the HEAD UP mode. Note 3: When no AIS data is received, the message "LOST AIS COM" appears in the Alert Box. Check connection with the AIS transponder. When the AIS function is disabled: Above message is prioritized as a Caution level alert for IMO/R-types. A/B/W-types do not show this alert. When the AIS function is active: Above message is prioritized as a Warning level alert for all radar types. 4.5 How to Use the AIS Display Filter If there are too many AIS targets on the screen you may wish to remove unnecessary ones. You can remove sleeping targets class A/B by distance from own ship, speed and class. For example, you might want to remove slow moving targets, as they nor-

mally do not require close monitoring. 1. Open the menu. 2. Select [5 TTAIS]. 3. Select [5 AIS]. Current display filter settings appear here Note: You can also right-click the AIS indication in the [TTAIS] box to open the

AIS OPERATION An AIS-equipped ship is usually displayed by two symbols on the radar display. This is because the AIS ship position is measured by a GPS navigator (L/L) whereas the radar detects the same ship by PPI principle (range and bearing relative to own ship radar antenna). To avoid the presentation of two target symbols for the same physical target, use the association function. If target data from both AIS and TT are available and if the as-

sociation criteria are fulfilled, either the AIS or TT symbol is presented according to the association method selected. Association will not happen between AIS and TT if the AIS target is sleeping or the AIS target is lost. 1. Confirm that the [TT ACQ MODE]

indication shows "AUTO", "AUTO MAN" or "MAN". TT ACQ MODE indication 2. Open the menu. 3. Select [5 TTAIS]. 4. Select [7 TARGET ASSOCIATION]. 5. Select [2 ASSOCIATION TGT TYPE]. 6. Select [OFF], [AIS] or [TT], as appropriate, to select which symbols and data to display when the associ-

SHOOTING Periodic checks and maintenance are important for proper operation of any electronic system. This chapter contains maintenance and troubleshooting instructions to be fol-

lowed to obtain optimum performance and the longest possible life of the equipment. Before attempting any maintenance or troubleshooting procedure please review the safety information below. WARNING WARNING Do not open the equipment. Hazardous voltage which can cause electrical shock exists inside the equipment. Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment. Turn off the radar power switch before servicing the antenna unit. Post a warning sign near the switch indicating it should not be turned on while the antenna unit is being serviced. Prevent the potential risk of being struck by the rotating antenna. A transmitting radar antenna emits electromagnetic waves, which can be harmful, particularly to the eyes. Never look directly into the antenna aperture from a close distance while the radar is in operation, or expose yourself to the transmitting radar at a close distance. Wear a safety belt and hard hat when working on the antenna unit. Serious injury or death can result if someone falls from the radar antenna mast. NOTICE Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant or contact spray to coating or plastic parts of the equipment. Those items contain organic solvents that can damage coating and plastic parts, especially plastic connectors. 6-1 6. MAINTENANCE, TROUBLESHOOTING 6.1 Periodic Maintenance Schedule Regular maintenance is essential to good performance. A regular maintenance pro-

gram should be established and should at least include the items in the table below. Remarks Do not use chemical-based cleaners to clean the processor unit. They can remove paint and markings. Sealing compound can be used instead of paint. Apply a small amount of grease between nuts and bolts for easy removal in fu-

ture. Do not use chemical-based cleaners for cleaning. They can remove paint and markings. If you need to remove ice from the antenna unit, use a wooden or plastic head hammer. Cracks on the unit may cause water in-

gress, causing serious damages to internal circuits. When closing antenna covers in position, be careful not to catch loose wires between covers and unit. Adhesive deterioration can result in water leakage, which can cause corrosion. Checks and measures Check that dust or dirt is not on the display. Wipe it care-

fully to prevent scratching. For difficult to remove dirt or salt deposits, use a cloth made wet with water and neutral detergent (less than 1% detergent). Squeeze the cloth dry then clean the dis-

play. When the display is clean, gently wipe the dis-

play with a clean, soft, dry cloth, to prevent scratching. Dust and dirt may be re-

moved with a soft cloth. Check for corroded or loos-

ened nuts and bolts. If nec-

essary, clean and repaint them thickly. Replace if heavily corroded. Check for dirt and cracks on radiator surface. Thick dirt should be wiped off with soft cloth dampened with fresh water. If a crack is found, apply a slight amount of sealing compound or adhe-

sive as a temporary remedy, then call for repair. Open antenna cover to check terminal strip and plug connections inside. Also check the rubber gas-

ket of antenna covers for deterioration. Check for deteriorations such as splits and peeling. Re-apply as required. For areas with extensive deteri-

oration, remove the existing adhesive before re-applying a fresh coat. Check for loose connec-

tions. Check contacts and plugs for proper seating, etc. Interval As required Check Point The LCD will in time accumulate a layer of dust which tends to dim the picture Processor unit cleanli-

ness 3 to 6 months Exposed nuts and bolts on antenna unit Antenna radiator Terminal strips and plugs in antenna unit

tenna unit. 6.2 How to Replace the Fuse Remarks If corrosion or paint pealing is found, paint the affected area. Do not paint the antenna (see below), only paint the scanner. Do NOT paint Note: Painting the antenna may result in reduced performance and/or damage to the antenna. Have a qualified technician apply the grease oil to the antenna ro-

tary. Fuses are located as shown in the tables below. Each fuse protects the equipment from reverse polarity of the ships mains and equipment fault. If a fuse blows, find the cause before replacing it. Use the correct fuse. Using the wrong fuse will damage the equipment and void the warranty. WARNING WARNIN Use the proper fuse. Use of the wrong fuse can cause fire or electrical shock. Note: For monitor units MU-190/MU-190HD/MU-192HD/MU-231/MU-270W, see the monitors operator manual for fuse details.

(96 NM SCALE) The longitude lines concentrate on the north pole and south pole, namely, 1 nm is equivalent to 1 minute at 0 degree latitude, 2 minutes at 60 degrees latitude, 3 minutes at 70 degrees latitude and so on. For this reason, a longitude error occurs on the radar display. For example, when own ship is at 60N and 135E, even if the cursor indication is 62N and 139E, the real cursor position is deviated to the left (west) side. The table below shows the longitude er-
