Detailed contents of the instruction ("Disconnect the power plug" in the example on the left) is shown in the mark. Electric Shock Prohibition instruction Disassembling Disconnect the power plug Prohibited Warning label There is a warning label on the top cover of the equipment. Do not try to remove, break or modify the label. III
IV Cautions to be used during operation WARNING Do not touch the insides of the scanner unit, transceiver and display unit. Touching any high voltage area, you will get an electric shock. For maintenance, inspection and adjustment of internal parts of these equipment, consult with our sales office or distributor in your district. Since the scanner unit radiator rotates, do not approach it. The scanner unit may start rotating suddenly, and consequently any person may be struck and be injured. We recommend you to install the scanner unit radiator on the roof of the wheel house, flying bridge, trestle, radar mast or any other high position so that no person can approach it. When servicing the scanner unit, set the scanner unit safety button to the OFF position. Install the scanner unit at any place higher than any person. If being exposed directly to electric wave at close range, you may suffer adverse influence. When approaching the antenna for maintenance or inspection, set the power button of the display unit to the ST-BY position. If being exposed directly to electric wave at close range, you may suffer adverse influence. CAUTION Use these radar only as assisting devices for navigation. Also, the officer should make the final decision for maneuvering by himself. If you make the final decision of maneuvering only on the information which a radar display, it may become the cause of accidents, such as collision and stranding. V VI PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATION Cautions for high voltage High voltages from hundreds volts to tens of thousands volts are to be applied to the electronic equipment such radio and radar devices. You do not face any danger during normal operation, but sufficient cares are required for maintenance, inspection and adjustment of their internal components. (Authorized maintenance personnel alone are permitted to implement maintenance, check-ups or adjustment of internal components.) High voltages of tens of thousands volts are so dangerous as to bring an instantaneous death from electric shock, but even voltages of hundreds volts may sometimes lead to a death from electric shock. To prevent such an accident, make it a rule to turn off the power button, discharge capacitors with a wire surely earthed on an end and make sure that internal parts are no longer charged before you touch any parts inside these devices. At the time, wearing dry cotton gloves ensures you further to prevent such danger. It is also a necessary caution to put one of your hands in the pocket and not to use your both hands at the same time. It is also important to select a stable foothold always to prevent additional injuries once you were shocked by electricity. If you were injured from electric shock, disinfect the burn sufficiently and get it taken care of promptly. What to do in case of electric shock When finding a victim of electric shock, turn off the power source and earth the circuit immediately. If it is impossible to turn off the circuit, move the victim away promptly using insulators such as dry wood plate and cloth without touching the victim directly. In case of electric shock, breathing may stop suddenly if current flows to the respiration center in the brain. If the shock is not so strong, artificial respiration may recover breathing. When shocked by electricity, the victim will come to look very bad with weak pulse or without beating, resulting in unconsciousness and rigidity. VII 1 2 3 119 4 5 6 7 VIII FIRST AID TREATMENTS First-aid treatments As far as the victim of electric shock is not in dangerous condition, do not move him and practice artificial respiration on him immediately. Once started, it should be continued rhythmically. 1 Do not touch the victim confusedly as a result of the accident, but the rescuer may also get an electric shock. 2 Turn off the power source calmly and certainly and move the victim away quietly from the electric line. 3 Call a physician or ambulance immediately or ask someone to call a doctor. 4 Lay the victim on his back and loosen his necktie, clothes, belt, etc. 5 a. Examine the victim's pulse. 6 Open the victim's mouth and take out artificial teeth, cigarette or chewing gum if any. Keep his mouth open, stretch his tongue and insert a towel or the like in his mouth to prevent the tongue from suffocating. (If it is hard to open his mouth due to set teeth, open it with a screwdriver and insert a towel in this mouth.) b. Examine his heartbeat bringing your ear close to his heart. c. Examine his breathing bringing the back of your hand or your face close d. Check the size of the pupils of his eyes 7 Then, close his mouth so that foaming mucus does not accumulate inside.

(3) 10 X When pulse is beating but breathing has stopped
(1) Tilt the victim's head back as far as this face looks back. (A pillow may be inserted under his neck.)
(2) Push his jaw upward to open his throat wide (to spread his airway).
(3) Pinch the victim's nostrils and take a deep breath, block his mouth completely with yours and blow into his mouth strongly. Take a deep breath again and blow into his mouth. Continue this 10 to 15 times a minute (blocking his nostrils).
(4) Carefully watch that he has recovered his natural breathing and stop practicing artificial
(5) respiration. If it is difficult to open the victim's mouth, insert a rubber or vinyl tube into one of his nostrils and blow into it blocking the other nostril and his mouth completely.
(6) When the victim recovers consciousness, he may try to stand up suddenly, but let him lie calmly and serve him with a cup of hot coffee or tea to keep him warm and quiet. (Never give him alcoholic drinks.) Method of mouth-to-mouth respiration by raising head
(1)
(2)
(3) Raise the victim's head. Support his forehead with one of your hand and his neck with the other hand. When you tilt his head backward, the victim, in most cases, opens his mouth to the air. This makes mouth-to-mouth respiration easy. Cover his mouth as widely as possible with yours and press your cheek against his nose , or, pinch his nostrils with your fingers to prevent air from leaking. Blow into his lungs. Continue blowing into his mouth until his breast swells. Blow into his mouth as quickly as possible for the first 10 times. Fig.1 Mouth-to-mouth respiration XI 11/3 2cm150 21 15 2 1511 3 XII When both pulse and breathing have stopped When no pulse has come not to be felt, his pupils are open and no heartbeat is heard, cardiac arrest is supposed to have occurred and artificial respiration must be performed.
(2)
(1) Place your both hands, one hand on the other, on the lower one third area of his breastbone and compress his breast with your elbows applying your weight on his breast so that it is dented about 2cm (repeat compressing his breast 50 times or so a minute).
(Cardiac massage) In case of one rescuer, Repeat cardiac massages about 15 times and blow into his mouth 2 times quickly, and repeat this combination. In case of two rescuers, One person repeats cardiac massages 5 times while the other person blows into his mouth once, and they shall repeat this combination.
(Cardiac massage and mouth-to-mouth respiration)
(3) Examine his pupils and his pulse sometimes. When the both have returned to normal, stop the artificial respiration, serve him with a cup of coffee or tea and keep him warm and calm while watching him carefully. Commit the victim to a medial specialist depending on his condition. To let him recover from the mental shock, it is necessary for persons concerned to understand his situations and the necessary treatments.

This equipment comprises radar as defined in the Wireless Telegraphy Act. 1.2 Features Enhanced fundamental performance of the radar Through switching among 4 steps in terms of pulse width/cycle switching of frequency and switching among 3 steps in receiver bandwidth, enhanced fundamental performance of the radar has been achieved towards display of clearer and higher quality images. Moreover, through the incorporation of advanced digital signal processing, performance in target de-
tection during increment weather has been improved. Confirmation of the ship's position and identifying the waypoint at a glance Through connecting to navigation equipment such as GPS, the location of the ship (nu-
merical value) or a mark on the waypoint may be displayed on the screen and through this, the difference between the bearing of the waypoint and the ship's heading may be grasped at a glance. High operability EBL and VRM that are frequently used are equipped with dedicated switches. Moreover, 4 soft key switches have been incorporated and functions that are relatively frequently used may be operated with ease. Additionally, a system for selecting functions that are infre-
quently used from the menu has been adopted. 145 1.3 Composition Composition of the Radar and Ship Internal Power Source Comprehensive type Scanner unit JMA-2343 JMA-2344 NKE-249 NKE-250 NCD-4170 Display unit Ship internal power source DC (12V/24V/32V) or AC(Note) (100V/110V/115V/

Please ensure that the sensitivity adjustment is made to an optimal level when undertaking monitoring.
If the sensitivity is too low, hazardous objects, ships and other floating objects may not be displayed.
If the sensitivity is too high, receiver noise at the PPI screen will increase and this may impair monitoring.
(a) Turn the [Gain] control. When the control is turned in the counterclockwise direction, the sensitivity de-
creases and when the control is turned in the clockwise direction, the sensitivity increases. In general, optimal adjustment of sensitivity is as follows. The image size of the echo from the intended target is maximized. It does not come into contact with echoes from other targets. The image of the echo is small as the sensitivity is too low. The sensitivity has been adjusted to an optimal level. Images overlap as the sen-
sitivity is too high. 171 3.3.8 Eradicating radar interference Attention
Weak echo images from hazardous objects such as other vessels may also be rejected when using the interference rejection function.
When observing radar beacons or SART signals, make sure that the interference rejection function is disabled. Radar interference refers to the phenomenon by which microwaves transmitted by a third party radar is picked up directly by the ship's scanner unit and is displayed on the PPI screen.
(a) Push the soft key
(b) Push soft key 2 to select .
(c) If radar interference cannot be rejected using , push soft key 2 and select . When not undertaking interference rejection, push soft key 2 and select .

Doing so may suppress echoes from targets such as other vessels for hazardous objects in addition to echoes from rain and snow thus impairing detection. When using the rain and snow clutter suppression function, ensure that the suppression setting is always at an optimal level. When rain or snow falls, echo from the rain or snow (rain clutter) appears on the PPI screen making it difficult to see images of echoes from vessels or other objects. By using the [RAIN] control function or the "automatic rain and snow" function, rain clutter may be suppressed facilitating monitoring of the target. When the "automatic rain and snow" function is operating, it is not possible to use the
[RAIN] control function. Manual rain and snow clutter suppression Manual rain and snow clutter suppression Manual rain and snow clutter suppression Manual rain and snow clutter suppression

3.3.10 In case of high waves CAUTION On short range scales, the setting of the sea surface clutter suppression should not be advanced to an extent that results in complete suppression of all clutter. Such a setting may suppress echoes from targets such as vessels or hazardous objects in addition to echoes from the waves and thus impair detection. When using the sea surface clutter suppression function, be sure that the sup-
pression level is set at the optimum. When sea waves become high, echoes from the high waves (sea clutter) appear on the PPI screen making it difficult to see image of echoes from vessels or other objects. Sea clutter is increasingly prominent to the extent that its source is close to the ship. By using the [SEA] control function or the "automatic sea surface" function, sea surface clutter may be suppressed facilitating monitoring of the targets. Manual sea surface clutter suppression Manual sea surface clutter suppression Manual sea surface clutter suppression Manual sea surface clutter suppression

lected under "BEARING" above detects "north" is assumed to be 0 degrees is displayed. 3.3.17 Changing the bearing display method of the PPI screen The methods of display of the radar PPI screen consist of the following. Relative bearing display (head-up display) The ship's bow is displayed directly at the top of the PPI screen (bearing scale 0 degrees). When the bearing of the ship's bow changes, the bearing of the echo image on the PPI screen also changes. When bearing information cannot be obtained from such navigation devices as gyrocompass, display is by this relative bearing method. The ship rotates in the starboard direction The PPI image rotates counterclockwise 183 True bearing display (north-up display)
"North" is displayed as direct north of the PPI screen. Even when the bearing of the ship's bow changes, the bearing of the PPI image does not change.
(Gyrocompass or other device that provides bearing information is required.) The ship rotates in the starboard direction The ship's heading marker rotates clockwise. Course-up display The bearing of the ship's bow is always directly at the top of the PPI screen when the key is continuously pushed (course setting). Even when the bearing of the ship's bow changes, the bearing of the echo image on the PPI screen does not change and the ship's heading marker rotates to the extent of the change in the bearing of the ship's bow. When the heading changes significantly, the course should be reset by pushing the key continuously.
(Gyrocompass or other device that provides bearing information is required.) The ship rotates in the starboard direction The ship's heading marker rotates clockwise. BRIL HL OFF 184

h1, h2Unit [Meters]
[Distance and Target]
For example, when the scanner unit lies 3 meters above the sea level, the radar can detect and display an island with a height of 10 meters at a distance 10 NM away from the scanner unit position but cannot detect and display an island with a height of 5 meters at the same distance. This is theoretically true but does not always hold, depending on weather conditions. For a target located 10 NM away to be displayed on a radar, it theoretically needs to be 7.6 meters or higher. Any targets lower than 7.6 meters cannot be displayed on a radar.
The target may be unable to be observed when the height of a scanner unit or an target is low. Island not displayed on the screen 10 NM 10 NM h1(meters) Scanner unit height a1+a2(NM) Distance 207 h2(meters) Target height 4.2 Returns from a Target The intensity of returns from a target is related not only to the size of the target but also to the materials and shape of the components making up the target. Accordingly, larger objects do not necessarily develop strong returns. On coastlines, in particular, the intensity of returns is dependent on their physiographic features. For a coastline with a fairly gradual ascent, only inland mountains areas may be displayed as echoes. This fact needs to be kept in mind when measuring the distance to a coastline.
Since the echo which returns from a coastline with a fairly gradual ascent is weak, observation of such land may not be able to be performed. 4.3 Propagation Path of Radio Waves
Radio waves may be shielded if there is a large intercepting obstacle (e.g., mountains, rain, snow, etc.) in their propagation path and any targets behind the obstacle cannot be observed. An island that is not displayed because of heavy rain in between the own ship and the island A ship that is not displayed because of an island in between the own ship and the target ship 208 4.3.1 Sea returns On a wavy sea surface, an echo appears on the PPI screen as a bright defused image at the center of the screen. This echo is developed by returns from the sea surface. The features of the echo depend on the size and range of the wave, and the wind direction. 4.3.2 False echoes There are cases in which nonexistent targets appear as echoes or in which existing targets do not appear as echoes on the PPI screen. These echoes are called false echoes. False echoes are produced by the factors explained below.
Please observe carefully in consideration of there being always false echoes.
(a) Ghost Depending on the location where the scanner unit is installed, radio waves are emitted from nearby chimney stacks or masts, developing ghosts. Consequently, targets that are located in those direction may not appear as echoes on the PPI screen. The presence of these ghosts can be identified by observing sea returns and checking the returns for dim areas or voids. If a ghost is detected, remember the direction in which it appears and observe the target carefully.
(b) Side echo There are cases in which an arc-shaped broken line appears over the same range as the echo from the target. This image is caused by the side lobes of the beam emitted from the scanner unit. This type of false echoes can easily be identified if the target stands alone.
(c) Indirect echo The direction of the radio wave from the radar may be changed by a reflection (secondary reflection) at a chimney stack or mast of a ship, developing a false echo in a direction in which there should be no target. The indirect echo developed by the secondary reflection appears in the direction of the chimney stack or mast that reflected the radio wave. 209
(d) Multiple echo Multiple echoes are developed by multiple reflections caused by a building or large vessels that has large vertical surfaces. These echoes are spaced at an equal interval, with the one that is closest to the own ship being the true echo.
(e) Radar interference If there is a radar that uses the same frequency as that of the own ship near the own ship, interferences caused by that radar appear on the PPI screen. These interferences appear as clusters of spots of varying patterns. Since they do not occur at the same location with time, they can easily be distinguished from true echoes. Radar interferences can be reduced or eliminated by choosing
"ON"
from
"FUNCTION"-"IR". Examples of radar interferences 210 4.4 Display of Radar Transponder SART (Search and Rescue Radar Transponder) is life preserving device approved by GMDSS which is used for locating survivors in the event of a disaster or distress. SART operates in the 9GHz frequency band. When it receives a radar signal (interrogating radio wave) of 9GHz transmitted by a rescue ship or aircraft radar, SART transmits a series of respouse signals to the searchers to indicate the distress position. In order to see the SART or radar beacon mark on the radar screen. RANGE SCALE SEA CLUTTER control AUTO SEA TUNE control IR PROCESS Select 6 or 12 nm Set to minimum OFF DETUNED to reduce the clutter Set IR OFF Set PROCESS OFF Example Attention
When above settings to are made to display SART signals, objects around the own ship will not appear on the radar screen, so perform thorough visual monitoring of the sea area around the own ship to avoid any collision or stranding. Further, when more than one radar systems are mounted, while using a 9GHz band radar for searching SART signals, be sure to use another radar as an ordinary radar to perform monitoring of objects around the own ship to avoid any collision, check of the position of the own ship to avoid any stranding, and so on. Need to return the set for normal operation on completion. 211 5 Maintenance and Inspection 5.1 General Maintenance WARNING The customer should refrain from inspecting or repairing the internal parts of this equipment. Inspection or repair other than by specialized service personnel may result in fire or severe electric shock. Please contact the sales department of Japan Radio Co., Ltd. or your local branch, outlet or sales office with respect to maintenance and repair. When performing maintenance in increment weather, please be sure to shut the main power off. Maintenance work performed without shutting the main power off may result in severe electric shock. CAUTION When cleaning the surface, please refrain from using organic solvents such as thinner or benzene. Use of such organic solvents may damage the surface coating. When cleaning the surface, remove dust and grime and wipe with a clean dry cloth. The following maintenance steps are required to ensure that the radar always operates in the optimal condition. Since breakdowns will be reduced through maintenance, periodic maintenance is recommended. General maintenance steps common to all equipment are as follows. Cleaning Remove dust, grime and sea water that has adhered to the unit. Use dry cloth to clean the unit. In particular, use a brush to clean the ventilating opening to ensure smooth flow of air. 212 5.2 Scanner Unit WARNING When performing maintenance or inspection of the scanner unit, be sure to shut off the main power source. Sudden movement of the scanner may cause collision and injury to the human body. Be sure to shut off the main power source when approaching the scanner unit for the purposes of maintenance or inspection. Exposure to electric waves at proximate distances may negatively affect the human body.
(1) Radiation unit If the front of the radiation unit is soiled with soot, salt, paint specks, bird excrement or other alien matter, electric waves may become attenuated and reflection may occur thus causing degradation in the performance of the radar. The radiation unit should be inspected and always kept clean by wiping with cloth soaked in alcohol or water in the event of soiling. Solvents such as gasoline, benzene, trichlene or ketone should never be used for this purpose.
(2) Pedestal The pedestal and attachment bolts of the scanner unit should be inspected periodically for erosion and maintained to ensure safety. Painting is the best measure for preventing erosion and it is recommended that this be undertaken once in half a year. 5.3 Display Unit Cleaning the cathode-ray tube When dust adheres to the cathode-ray tube, transparency degrades and the images become dark. Cleaning is performed using cloth soaked in water (flannel or cotton). Wiping vigorously with dry cloth or the use of gasoline or thinner should be avoided. CAUTION Vigorous wiping with dry cloth or the use of gasoline or thinner should be avoided in cleaning the cathode-ray tube. Such action may cause scratches and deterioration. 213 Name 5.4 Special Parts JMA-2343 Model Number V201 Magnetron Circulator A101 Diode limiter NJS6930 A102 E301 Front end NJT1028 JMA-2344 Type Manufacturer Location of use JRC Code MSF1421B H-6AJRD00001 Toshiba New JRC Scanner unit Scanner unit Scanner unit Scanner unit 5VMAA00049 6AJRD00001 5EZAA00024 5EZAA00039 New JRC New JRC Manufacturer Location of use JRC Code Type Name Model Number V201 Magnetron Circulator A101 Diode limiter NJS6930 A102 E301 Front end NJT1969 New JRC MSF1422B H-6AJRD00001 Toshiba New JRC New JRC Scanner unit Scanner unit Scanner unit Scanner unit 5VMAA00051 6AJRD00001 5EZAA00024 5EZAA00037 5.5 Circuit Blocks for Repair NKE-249 Name Unit/ type of circuit Remarks Modulator circuit Receiver CME-307 NRG-140 NKE-250 Name Unit/ type of circuit Remarks Modulator circuit Receiver Motor unit Motor brush CME-308 NRG-141 CBP-153 BRXP05247 With rotating pulse generation circuit Containing 2 214 NCD-4170 Name Main control circuit Power supply circuit Main panel circuit Soft key panel circuit Interior of the monitor unit CRT monitor control unit Type CMC-1156 CBD-1596 CCK-873 CCK872 CKJ-159 CCN-366 Remarks CRT + deflecting coil With socket circuit 215 5.6 Actions to Deal with Abnormalities and Breakdown In the case of semiconductor circuits, except in cases of problems in the design or inspection of such circuits or causes that are external or caused by humans, breakdown or deterioration of the circuit does not often occur. In general, the causes of breakdown that are relatively frequently found are wire cut in the high resistance device due to high humidity, defect in the variable resistance and defective contact of switches and relays. Moreover, in many cases the cause for breakdown is not a defect in parts but rather poor adjustment (particularly inadequate tuning adjustment) or poor maintenance (particularly defect in cable contact) and inspecting or readjusting these aspects is often effective in the case of perceived abnormality or breakdown. The following table should be taken into consideration in the case of abnormalities or breakdown. There is always a cause for blown fuse and after replacing the fuse, it is necessary to investigate the related circuits even when no abnormality remains. However, consideration should be given to the fact that there is significant variance in the characteristics of fuse. Please refer to the list on the fuses used given in Section 9.4.

Attention
Install each equipment so that the length of the cable between a snanner unit and a display unit does not exceed 20m. If the regular length is exceeded, it may become the cause of causing poor adjustment and the defect of a system of operation. The standard cables are provided with connectors and plugs. 228 9 Installation This chapter has been written for the service technicians to read in case of installation. WARNING Only specialized personnel shall perform installation work. Installation work performed by personnel other than specialized personnel may cause breakdown of the equipment, poor performance, fire, severe elec-
tric shock and other property and human damages. 9.1 General Proper installation of a radar unit is essential for extracting full capability of the unit reliably and for facilitating troubleshooting and maintenance. Follow the guidelines given below when installing the radar unit.
(a) Install the scanner unit as high as possible while taking its weight into consideration.
(b) Install the display unit in the wheel house for comfortable observation.
(c) The scanner unit and display unit are connected by 10 to 20 m compound cable with 20 conductors with an internal shield. The maximum permissible cable length is 20 m. Cables larger than 20 m would deteriorate the radar performance of the radar unit. 229 Installing the Scanner Unit 9.2 9.2.1 Selecting the installation location CAUTION The scanner unit shall be installed where there are not large obstacles in the direction of the ship's heading line in the same plane. If there is a large impediment in the same plane as the scanner unit, this may cause the generation of folse echoes. In particular, if such folse echoes appear at the ship's heading line, monitoring will be difficult and this may cause inadequate forecasting of danger. Do not install the scanner unit near chimney's or the exhaust of chimneys. Soot will cause the performance of the radar to decrease and heat may cause breakdown. Do not install direction antenna or VHF antenna in the vicinity of the scanner unit. Doing so may cause noise in the antenna reception. Consideration should be given to separating the radar cable from the cables for the direction antenna and VHF antenna. These cables should never be bundled into one. Doing so may cause noise in the antenna reception. 9.2.2 Installation procedure
(a) If it is found that there is no height above the roof of the wheel house enough to directly accommodate a scanner unit, install a pedestal or radar mast.
(b) In addition to a pedestal or radar mast, it is necessary to provide an appropriate staging for convenience in installation, maintenance, adjustment, and repair of the scanner unit. 230
(1) Precautions to be observed when installing the scanner unit on a power boat
The bow of a power boat is kept in a raised position when it is running at a high speed. Consequently, if the radar's scanner unit is installed horizontally when the boat is stopped, the following conditions will occur if the trim (elevation angle of the ship's bow at run time) exceeds 1/2 of the vertical beam width ():
On the front side, the water surface lies outside the beam, weakening the radio wave that is incident to the target on the water surface. Consequently, the echo generated by this target is will hardly be visible on the radar screen. Conversely, on the rear side:
Since the radio wave that is incident to the water surface is stronger, strong sea clutter will develop. For vessels on which the trim is 1/2 or greater than the ver-
tical beam width (), it is recommended that the scanner unit be installed in such an orientation that it is tilted forwards. Horizontal line Beam width Radar scanner unit

(2) Precautions to be observed when installing the scanner unit on a yacht
A yacht heels on the lee side when a wind with a certain level of force blows. The following condition occurs if the heel angle exceeds 1/2 of the beam width:
On the windward side, the water surface lies outside the beam, weakening the radio wave that is incident to the target on the water surface. Consequently, the echo generated by this target is will hardly be visible on the radar screen. Conversely, on the lee side:
Since the radio wave that is incident to the water surface is stronger, strong sea clutter will develop. For yachts on which the heel is 1/2 or greater than the ver-
tical beam width () , it is recommended that the scanner unit be installed on a mounting base so that the scanner unit can be tilted on the left and right sides according to the heel angle. Wind Beam width Heel angle Horizontal line Radar scanner unit 232 9.2.3 Connection of cables to be assembled

Ensure that the output of the inboard power supply and rectifier unit and connection to the power cable is correct. Erroneous connection or voltage may cause breakdown. 9.5.3 Selecting a long cable
The effective voltage of the input to the radar is the voltage at the inboard power supply minus the voltage drop caused by the power cable. Too thin or long a power cable incurs a large voltage drop and may not be able to supply adequate power to the radar. In is recommended that the following guidelines be observed when selecting the power cable for your radar:
(a) Consider the possible voltage regulation of the inboard power supply (Vs).
(b) Use the following equation to calculate the voltage drop:
V=2LRKI Lrepresents the cable length. Rrepresents the direct-current resistance (<>/m) at 20<>
Krepresents the conductor resistance temperature coefficient (= 1.22) I Maximum peak current (A)

(a) After completing the installation procedure, it is necessary to check the radar unit to verify that all installation steps have been conducted as instructed. In particular, check for correct cabling, for normal component operating state, for water leakage in the scanner unit, and for proper grounding of braided shielding cable. 9.6.2 Functional checks
(a) After completing the installation-time check and before checking the operation of the radar, make sure that the output voltages of the inboard power supply fall within their permissible range.
(b) Read "3 Basic Operation" carefully and thoroughly and make sure that the radar functions normally. Then, manipulate all controls and menu functions to ensure that they function normally.
(c) If it becomes necessary to make an adjustment though the radar unit is normal, read
"9.7 Adjustment Procedures" carefully and follow the instructions given in that section. 9.6.3 Adjustment items
(a) Radar's bearing adjustment is mandatory.
(b) If the control is not positioned near the center of the scale during tuning or if tuning fails, make a coarse tuning from the "TUNE PRESET" menu.

Attention
When initialization is undertaken, all setting excluding the menu "INITIAL SET-
TING 1" and "INITIAL SETTING 2" will be reset to the ex-factory shipment condi-
tions.
(a) Push the key and key simultaneously. Power is turned off.
(b) Push the key, key and key simultaneously. Power will be turned on as in normal operation for turning on power. 264 9.10 Maintenance 9.10.1 General maintenance It is necessary to perform the maintenance services listed below to keep the radar unit in good working conditions. Proper maintenance of the radar unit minimizes the possi-
bility of machine failures. The maintenance operations that are common to all compo-
nents of the radar unit are listed below. 1. Cleaning 1. Cleaning 1. Cleaning 1. Cleaning Remove dirt, dust, or water-spray from the radar unit enclosure and keep it as clean as possible. Use a dry lint-free cloth. 2. Screw inspection 2. Screw inspection 2. Screw inspection 2. Screw inspection Check the screws used to assemble and secure the components of the radar unit for loose connection. 3. Cabling check 3. Cabling check 3. Cabling check 3. Cabling check Check the cables connecting between the components (between the scanner unit and display unit, display unit and power supply, and display unit and optional devices) for poor connection. WARNING Before starting maintenance work, be sure to turn off the main power source. If a rectifier unit is used, in particular, turn off power to the display unit. Note that voltages from the rectifier unit are always present even if the radar is stopped. It may result in sereve electric shock or breakdown. 265 9.10.2 Scanner unit WARNING When performing maintenance or inspection of the scanner unit, be sure to shut off the safety switch of the scanner unit after turning off the power of the display unit. Failure to do this may cause severe electric shock or breakdown or the sudden movement of the scanner unit may cause bodily injury or breakdown. CAUTION Since the magnetron in the modulator circuit emits strong magnetism, watches or magnetic cards should not be brought into close proximity of the modulator circuit. Doing so may cause breakdown and destruction of data contained in such items. 1. Radiation unit 1. Radiation unit 1. Radiation unit 1. Radiation unit
(a) A radiation surface of radiation unit (JMA-2343: Whole surface of the radome cover /
JMA-2344: Front side of radiation unit) contaminated by smoke, dust, or paint would cause attenuation or reflections of radio waves, resulting in reduced radar performance. Periodically check the radome scanner unit. If it proves dirty, wipe the radome surface with a soft lint-free cloth moistened with alcohol or damped cloth. CAUTION Never use such solvent as Thinner, Gasoline, Benzen, Trichlene or Kentene for cleaning. Those solvents deteriorate the surface. 266 2. Rotary drive block (JMA 2. Rotary drive block (JMA----2344) 2344) 2. Rotary drive block (JMA 2. Rotary drive block (JMA 2344) 2344)
(a) Lubricating gears Apply grease to gears evenly using a knife or brush. This lubrication needs to be per-
formed at least semiannually. The shorter the lubrication period, the longer the gears will endure. Use Mobilux 2 from Mobile Oil Co., Ltd. or equivalent.
(b) Drive motor (JMA-2344)
() Reduction gears The reduction gears need no lubrication unless it is subject to oil leakage. If they are disassembled for overhaul, replenish lubricant "Beacon 325" from Esso Standard.
() Motor The life time of the brush unit is 2,000 hours. The brush needs to be replaced if 1/2 of the overall length is worn. The commuter needs to be kept clean. If any carbon power fixed on the com-
muter cannot be removed with a dry cloth, burnish it with a sand paper # 150 to
#400. The carbon brush can be removed by removing the caps located on both sides of the bottom portion of the motor.
(c) Pedestal Spring Carbon brush Contact with the commuter Description Carbon Brush Type 54531-01 JRC code BRXP05247 Quantity 2 Check the scanner unit mounting molts occasionally and apply paint semiannually to protect them from corrosion. 267 9.10.3 Display unit Cleaning the Display Unit Screen Cleaning the Display Unit Screen Cleaning the Display Unit Screen Cleaning the Display Unit Screen Dust on the CRT tube would reduce the glass transparency and make the vide image dim. Wipe the screen surface with a soft lint-free cloth (made of flannel or cotton). A cloth moistened with an antistatic agent would cause little problem. When using it, wipe softly; never rub the screen surface with force. 268
