The term "RADAR" is an acronym meaning RAdio Detection And Ranging. Although the basic principles of radar were developed during World War II, echoes as an aid to navigation is not a new development. 1.2 How Ships Determined Position Before Radar Before the invention of radar, when running in fog near a rugged shoreline, ships would sound a short blast on their whistles, fire a shot, or strike a bell. The time between the origination of the sound and the returning of the echo indicated how far the ship was from the cliffs or the shore. The direction from which the echo was heard indicated the relative bearing of the shore. 1.3 How Radar Determines Range Radar determines the distance to the target by calculating the time difference between the transmission of a radar signal and the reception of the reflected echo. It is a known fact that radar waves travel at a nearly constant speed of 162,000 nautical miles per second. Therefore the time required for a transmitted signal to travel to the target and return as an echo to the source is a measure of the distance to the target. Note that the echo makes a complete round trip, but only half the time of travel is needed to determine the one-way distance to the target. This radar automatically takes this into account in making the range calculation. 1.4 How Radar Determines Bearing The bearing to a target found by the radar is determined by the direction in which the radar scanner antenna is pointing when it emits an electronic pulse and then receives a returning echo. Each time the scanner rotates pulses are transmitted in the full 360 degree circle, each pulse at a slightly different bearing from the previous one. Therefore, if one knows the direction in which the signal is sent out, one knows the direction from which the echo must return. 1.5 Radar Wave Speed and Antenna Rotation Speed Note that the speed of the radar waves out to the target and back again as echoes is extremely fast compared to the speed of rotation of the antenna. By the time radar echoes have returned to the scanner, the amount of scanner rotation after initial transmission of the radar pulse is extremely small. 1.6 The Radar Display The range and bearing of a target is displayed on what is called a Plan Position Indicator (PPI). This display is essentially a polar diagram, with the transmitting ship's position at the center. Images of target echoes are received and displayed at their relative bearings, and at their distance from the PPI center. With a continuous display of the images of targets, the motion of the transmitting ship is also displayed. 1 Heading line Targets A D A B D B C C Own ship in center Own ship (radar) (A) Bird's eye view of situation (B) Radar picture of (A) Figure 1-1 How radar works 2 Range and bearing of a target, relative to own ship, are readable on the PPI. 2.

The control panel lights and a timer displays the time remaining for warm up of the magnetron (the device which produces radar pulses), counting down from 1:30 to 0:01. When you won't be using the radar for an extended period, but you want to keep it in a state of readiness, place it in stand-by by pressing the [STBY TX] key. The display shows "STBY," navigation data, or goes into the economy mode depending on menu setting. (More on menu operation later.) 2.4 Transmitting Economy mode After the power is turned on and the magnetron has warmed up, STBY (Stand-By) appears at the screen center. This means the radar is now fully operational. In stand-by the radar is available for use at anytime - but no radar waves are being transmitted. The CRT can be set to automatically turn itself off when in stand-by, to reduce power consumption. This feature is called the "economy mode." Power consumption in the economy mode is 28 W. When the economy mode is on, the lamp next to the [POWER] key lights. Press the [STBY TX] key to transmit. Navigation data display during stand-by When transmitting, any echoes from targets appear on the display. This radar displays echoes in eight tones of green according to echo strength. If a navigation aid inputs navigation data to this radar, navigation data can be displayed during stand-by. You can turn the navigation data display on/off through the menu. Figure 2-3 shows a typical navigation data display during standby.

Note 3: When cross track error exceeds 1 nm on either side, the XTE mark starts blinking. 2.6 Selecting the Range The range selected automatically determines the range ring interval, the number of range rings, pulselength and pulse repetition rate, for optimal detection capability in short to long ranges. You can select which ranges and pulselength (for 1.5 and 3 mile ranges) to use through the menu. The range, range ring interval and pulselength appear at the top left-hand corner of the display. To select a range; Press the [- RANGE +] key. The range and range ring interval appear at the top left corner on the display. Tips for selecting the range ¡ When navigating in or around crowded harbors, select a short range to watch for possible collision situations. ¡ If you select a lower range while on open water, increase the range occasionally to watch for vessels that may be heading your way. 2.7 Adjusting Picture Brilliance The [BRILL] key adjusts the brilliance of the radar picture in sixteen levels. Press the [BRILL] key to set the brilliance level. The current level momentarily appears on the screen. 6 2.8 Adjusting Receiver Sensitivity The [GAIN] control adjusts the sensitivity of the receiver. It works in precisely the same manner as the volume control of a broadcast receiver, amplifying the signals received. 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, transmit on long range, and adjust the [GAIN] control so background noise is just visible on the screen. 2.9 Adjusting the A/C SEA Control (reducing sea clutter) Echoes from waves can be troublesome, covering the central part of the display with random signals known as "sea clutter." The higher the waves, and the higher the scanner above the water, the further the clutter will extend. Sea clutter appears on the display as many small echoes which might affect radar performance. (See the left-hand figure in Figure 2-4.) When sea clutter masks the picture, adjust the A/C SEA control to reduce the clutter. How the A/C SEA control works The [A/C SEA] control reduces the amplification of echoes at short ranges (where clutter is the greatest) and progressively increases amplification as the range increases, so amplification will be normal at those ranges where there is no sea clutter. Adjusting the A/C SEA control 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. 2.10 Adjusting the A/C RAIN Control (reducing rain clutter) If the control is set too low, targets will be hidden in the clutter, while if it is set 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. The vertical beamwidth 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, hail, etc.) in the same manner as normal targets. Figure 2-5 shows the appearance of rain clutter on the display. 1. Confirm that the sensitivity is properly adjusted, and then transmit on short range. Adjusting A/C RAIN 2. Adjust the [A/C SEA] control so small targets are distinguishable but some clutter remains on the display. When rain clutter masks echoes, adjust the [A/ C RAIN] control. This control splits up these unwanted echoes into a speckled pattern, making recognition of solid targets easier. Sea clutter at display center A/C SEA control adjusted; sea clutter suppressed. Figure 2-4 How to adjust the A/C SEA control Appearance of rain clutter A/C RAIN control adjusted; rain clutter suppressed. Figure 2-5 Effect of A/C RAIN Tip for adjusting the A/C SEA A common mistake is to over-adjust the circuit so all the clutter is removed. As an example set up for maximum A/C SEA. You will see how the center of the display becomes dark. This dark zone can be dangerous (targets may be missed), especially if the sensitivity is not properly adjusted. Always leave a little clutter visible on the display to be sure weak echoes will not be suppressed. If there is no clutter visible on the display, turn off the circuit. Note: In addition to reducing clutter, the [A/C RAIN] control can be used in fine weather to clarify the picture when navigating in confined waters. However, with the circuit activated the receiver is less sensitive. Therefore, turn off the circuit when its function is not required. Automatic adjustments of A/C SEA and A/C RAIN Push the [A/C AUTO] key. "A/C AUTO" appears at the bottom left-hand corner of the display when the A/C AUTO circuit is on. You can fine tune by adjusting the [A/C SEA], [A/C RAIN] and [GAIN] controls. 7 2.11 Erasing the Heading Line, North Mark The heading line or north mark (available with gyrocompass connection) may occasionally mask a target. To view the target, you can temporarily erase the heading line and north mark by pressing and holding down the [GAIN (HM OFF)] control. Release the control to re-display the marks. Heading line North mark Figure 2-6 Heading line and north mark 2.12 Measuring the Range Figure 2-7 Display bottom, showing location of EBL and VRM readouts 2. Press the [EBL/VRM CONTROL] key to enable control of the VRM by the omnipad. 3. Operate the omnipad to place the outside edge of the VRM on the inside edge of the target. 4. Check the VRM readout at the bottom righthand corner of the display to find the range to the target. 5. To anchor the VRM, press the [EBL/VRM CONTROL] key. To erase the VRM, press and hold down the [EBL/VRM CONTROL] key about two seconds. Range You can measure the range to a target three ways: by the range rings, by the cursor, and by the VRM (Variable Range Marker). VRM 5.3°NM 12.5°NM EBL 345.6°R 23.0°R Range ring interval 6.0 NM 2.0 Target Cursor VRM1 By range ring Count the number of rings between the center of the display and the target. Check the range ring interval and judge the distance of the echo from the inner edge of the nearest ring. By cursor Operate the omnipad to place the cursor intersection on the inside edge of the target echo, The range to the target, as well as the bearing, appears at the bottom of the display. By VRM 1. Press the [EBL/VRM SELECT] key to circumscribe a VRM readout (at the bottom right-hand corner). Each press of the key selects the readout of EBL1, EBL2, VRM1 or VRM2 in that order. 8 VRM2 Cursor range 4.0 NM VRM 4.0 NM 3.0 NM VRM1 range VRM2 range Figure 2-8 Measuring range by the cursor, range rings and VRM Note: You can display the range readout of the VRM and cursor in nautical miles, statute miles or kilometers. For details see the next chapter. 2.13 Measuring the Bearing There are two ways to measure the bearing to a target: by the cursor, and by the EBL (Electronic Bearing Line). By cursor Operate the omnipad to bisect the target with the cursor intersection. The bearing to the target appears at the bottom of the display. By EBL 1. Press the [EBL/VRM SELECT] key to circumscribe an EBL readout (at the bottom left-hand corner). Each press of the key selects the readout of EBL1, EBL2, VRM1 or VRM2 in that order. 2. Press the [EBL/VRM CONTROL] key to enable control of the omnipad. Note: The bearing readout for the EBL and the cursor can be displayed in relative or true bearing (true bearing requires heading sensor input). For north up and course up display modes the bearing reference is always true. For details see the next chapter. Tips for measuring bearing ¡ Bearing measurements of smaller targets are more accurate; the center of larger target pips is not as easily identified. ¡ Bearings of stationary or slower moving targets are more accurate than bearings of faster moving targets. ¡ To minimize bearing errors keep echoes in the outer half of the picture by changing the range scale; angular difference becomes difficult to resolve as a target approaches the center of the display. 3. Operate the omnipad to bisect the target with the EBL. 2.14 Using the Offset EBL 4. Check the EBL readout at the bottom lefthand corner of the display to find the bearing to the target. The offset EBL provides two functions: predict collision course of radar target and measure the range and the bearing between two targets. 5. To anchor the EBL, press the [EBL/VRM CONTROL] key. Predicting collision course To erase the EBL and its readout, press and hold down the [EBL/VRM CONTROL] key about two seconds. 1. Press the omnipad to place the cursor on the center of the target. 6.0 NM 2.0 Cursor 3. Select EBL OFFSET on the menu and press the [ACQ/ENTER] key. EBL1 4. Press the [EBL/VRM CONTROL] key.

Each time this key is pressed, the message changes. For the RINGS menu, the message sequence is as shown below. 3.2 Selecting the Presentation Mode This radar provides four presentation modes: head-up, course-up, north-up and true motion. 1. Press the [MENU] key. 2. Operate the omnipad to select "MODE". 3. Press the [ACQ/ENTER] key. With heading sensor connection the display and the display mode indication at the top lefthand corner of the display change in the sequence of HU (heading up), CU (course up), NU (north up) and TM (true motion) when the [ACQ/ENTER] key is pressed. If there is no heading sensor connection, the display mode is always HU. 4. Press the [MENU] key to close the menu. Note: The radar begins operation with last selected display mode (except course up) whenever the unit is turned on. Note however that head up is selected when course up was the last used mode. Head up The picture is oriented so the heading line is at the top of the display. This mode is useful for navigation in congested waters. Course up Change brill from Off to 1. Change brill from 1 to 2. Change brill from 2 to 3. Change brill from 3 to max. Change brill from max to Off. Figure 3-2 Messages for RINGS menu 4. Press the [MENU] key to close the menu. 12 The course up mode shows ship's heading by the heading line, at the top of the display. To get heading desired, steer vessel in direction desired, and then show "CU" at the top lefthand corner of the display. North up North is at the top of the display and the heading line moves with ship's heading. This mode is useful for determining ship's position and as a navigation monitor on a nautical chart. The picture is stabilized against yaw of vessel, thereby reducing of target echoes. 3.4 Echo Trail True motion True motion displays own ship and moving objects in their true motion. 3.3 Magnifying Long Range Echoes (echo stretch) Normally, the reflected echoes from long range targets appear on the display as weaker and smaller blips even though they are compensated by the radar's internal circuitry. The echo stretch function magnifies these small blips in all ranges. Two types of echo stretch are available: ES1 which stretches echoes in bearing direction and ES2 which stretches them in both range and bearing directions. You can show the movement of all radar targets relative to your vessel in afterglow. This function is useful for alerting you to possible collision situations. Starting echo trail 1. Press the [MENU] key to open the menu. 2. Select "ECHO TRAIL" by the omnipad. 3. Select "ACTIVATE" by pressing the [ACQ/ENTER] key. To turn the echo stretch on or off; 1. Press the [MENU] key to open the menu. 2. Select "ES". 3. Each press the [ACQ/ENTER] key changes the echo stretch function in the sequence of ES1, ES2 and OFF. ES1 or ES2 appears at the top right-hand corner of the display when echo stretch is on. Bearing direction Bearing direction Figure 3-4 How the echo trail feature works TRAIL, the echo trail time selected (on "OTHER MENU") and elapsed time appear at the top right-hand corner of the display. Then, afterglow starts extending from all targets. Note: Trails are restarted when range or mode is changed or zoom or shift is turned on. Range direction Echo stretch 1 Echo stretch 2 Figure 3-3 Echo stretch Note: This function magnifies not only targets but also sea clutter and radar interference. For this reason be sure the controls for adjustment of sea clutter and radar interference are properly adjusted before activating the echo stretch. Note: ES2 is not available on Short Range. Fixed time trail 1. When the elapsed time clock counts up to the trail time selected, the elapsed time display freezes. 2. The oldest portions of trails are erased so only the latest trail, equal in length to the trail time selected, is shown. 3. Trail continues. For example, the one minute trail time is selected. When the elapsed time clock counts up to 60 seconds, the elapsed time display freezes at "60," but the latest one minute of trail are erased and then trail continuous. 13 Continuous trail The maximum continuous trail time is 99 minutes and 59 seconds. When the elapsed time clock counts up to that time the elapsed time display is reset to zero and trail begins again. Cancelling echo trail Select "OFF (deactivate)" at "ECHO TRAIL" on the menu. Changing trail attributes Trail gradation and trail time can be selected on the OTHERS menu. Figure 3-5 Radar interference Table 3-1 Trailing attributes Four levels of interference are available, including off; IR1, IR2, IR3 and OFF. IR3 provides the highest level of rejection. Item in OTHERS menu Trail Tone Description Trails can be shown in single or multiple gradations. Multiple paints trails getting thinner with time just like the afterglow on an analog PPI radar. Single Trail Time 3.5 Multiple Trail time can be set for 15 sec., 30 sec., 1 min., 3 min., 6 min., 15 min., 30 min., or continuous. Suppressing Radar Interference Radar interference may occur when near another shipborne radar operating in the same frequency band as your radar. Its on-screen appearance is many bright dots either scattered at random or in the form of dotted lines extending from the center to the edge of the display. Figure 3-5 illustrates interference in the from of curved spokes. Interference effects are distinguishable form normal echoes because they do not appear in the same place on successive rotations of the antenna. 14 1. Press the [MENU] key. 2.

The operator should familiarize himself or herself with the appearance and effects of these false echoes, so as not to confuse them with echoes from legitimate contacts. sented on both sides of the true echo at the same range, as shown in Figure 4-2. Side-lobes show usually only at short ranges and from strong targets. They can be reduced through careful reduction of the sensitivity or proper adjustment of the A/C SEA. Side-lobe 4.1 Multiple Echoes Sprious target Multiple echoes occur when a short range, strong echo is received from a 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 in Figure 4-1. Multiple reflection echoes can be reduced and often removed by decreasing the sensitivity or properly adjusting the A/C SEA. True echo Own ship Multiple echo Figure 4-1 Multiple echoes 4.2 Side-lobe Echoes Every time the antenna rotates, some radiation escapes on each side of the beam—called "side-lobes." If a target exists where it can be detected by the side-lobes as well as the main-lobe, the side-lobe echoes may be repre- 20 True echo Main-lobe Antenna Figure 4-2 Side-lobe echoes 4.3 Indirect Echoes Indirect echoes may be returned from either a passing ship or returned from a reflecting surface on your own ship, for example, a stack. In both cases, the echo will return from a legitimate contact to the antenna by the same indirect path. The echo will appear on the same bearing of the reflected surface, but at the same range as the direct echo. Figure 4-3 illustrates the effect of an indirect echo. Indirect echoes may be recognized as follows: • they usually occur in a shadow sector • they appear on the bearing of the obstruction but at the range of the legitimate contact • when plotted, their movements are usually abnormal, and • their shapes may indicate they are not direct echoes. 4.4 Blind and Shadow Sectors Direct path Target Heading line Funnels, stacks, masts, or derricks in the path of antenna may reduce the intensity of the radar beam. If the angle subtended at the antenna is more than a few degrees a blind sector may be produced. Within the blind sector small targets at close range may not be detected while larger targets at much greater ranges may be detected. See Figure 4-4.

Before reviewing this chapter please read the safety information which follows. DANGER Turn off the power before performing any maintenance or troubleshooting procedure. Hazardous voltages can shock, burn or cause death. Only qualified personnel totally famillier with electrical circuits should work inside the units. RF RADIATION HAZARD The radar antenna emits high frequency radio radiation which can be harmful, particularly to your eyes. Never look directly into the antenna from a distance of less than two feet when the radar is in operation as you could injure the cornea of your eyes. Always make sure the radar is set to stand-by or is turned off before starting work on the antenna unit. 5.1 Preventative Maintenance Regular maintenance is important for good performance. Always keep the equipment as free as possible from dirt, dust, and water splashes. Make sure all screws securing the components are properly tightened. A maintenance program should be established and should at least include the items listed in table 5-1. 5.2 Replacing the Fuse The fuse in the power cable protects the equipment against reverse polarity or ship's mains, overcurrent, and equipment fault. If the fuse blows, find the cause before replacing it. Never use an incorrect fuse – serious damage to equipment may result and void the warranty. 12 V: 10 A fuse 24-32 V: 5 A fuse Table 5-1 Recommended maintenance program Period Item Check point Remarks 3 to 6 months Exposed nuts and bolts on antenna unit Check for corroded or loosened nuts and bolts. If necessary, clean and repaint them thickly. Replace them if heavily corroded. Sealing compound may be used instead of paint. Apply a small amount of grease between nuts and bolts for easy removal in future. Antenna radiator (1932/1942) 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 adhesive as a temporary remedy, then call for repair. Do not use plastic solvent (acetone) for cleaning. If you need to remove ice from antenna unit, use a wooden hammer or plastic head hammer. Crack on the unit may cause water ingress, causing serious damages to internal circuits. Radome cover (1832) Check for wear. Permanent damage to the antenna's internal circuitry will result if water leaks into the radome. If a crack is found it should be temporarily repaired by using a small amount of sealing compound or adhesive. You should then contact your dealer for service. Display unit connectors Check for tight connection and corrosion. If corroded, contact your dealer for replacement. 6 months to 1 year 22 5.3 Troubleshooting Table 5-2 contains simple troubleshooting procedures which you can follow to try to restore normal operation. If you cannot restore normal operation, do not attempt to check inside any unit of the radar system. Any repair work is best left to a qualified technician. Table 5-2 Troubleshooting table If...

INSTALLATION This chapter provides the procedures necessary for installation. Installation mainly consists of the following: ¡ siting and mounting the display unit and antenna unit ¡ connection of the signal cable and the power cable ¡ establishing the ground ¡ checking the installation, and ¡ adjustments. 6.1 Antenna Unit Installation Siting, handling considerations ¡ The antenna unit is generally installed either on top of the wheelhouse or on the radar mast on a suitable platform. Locate the antenna unit where there is a good all-round view rigging intercepting the scanning beam. Any obstruction will cause shadow and blind sectors. A mast for instance, with a diameter considerably less than the width of the radicator, will cause only a small blind sector, but a horizontal spreader or crosstrees in the same horizontal plane as the antenna unit would be a much more serious obstruction; you would need to place the antenna unit well above or below it. ¡ The compass safe distance should be observed to prevent deviation of the magnetic compass. Model Standard compass Steering compass 1832 1932 1942 0.9 m 1.1 m 1.0 m 0.7 m 0.8 m 0.74 m ¡ Do not paint the radome (Model 1832) or radiator aperture (Model 1932, 1942), to ensure proper emission of the radar waves. ¡ When this radar is to be installed on larger vessels, consider the following points: (1) The signal cable run between the antenna and the display comes in lengths of 10 m, 15 m, 20 m and 30 m. Whatever length is used it must be unbroken; namely, no splicing allowed. (2) Deposits and fumes from a funnel or other exhaust vent can adversely affect the aerial performance and hot gases may distort the radiator portion. The antenna unit must not be mounted where the temperature is more than 70°C. Mounting (Model 1832) ¡ It is rarely possible to place the antenna unit where a completely clear view in all direction is available. Thus, you should determine the angular width and relative bearing of any shadow sectors for their influence on the radar at the first opportunity after fitting. (The method of determining blind and shadow sectors appears later in this chapter.) ¡ If you have a radio direction finder on your boat, local its antenna clear of the antenna unit, to prevent interference to the direction finder. A separation of more than two meters is recommended. Unpacking the antenna unit ¡ To lessen the chance of picking up electrical interference, avoid where possible routing the signal cable near other onboard electrical equipment. Also avoid running the cable in parallel with power cables. 2. Unbolt the four bolts at the base of the radome to remove the radome cover. Figure 6-1 Typical antenna unit location 1. Open the antenna unit packing box carefully. 25 Radome cover SHIP'S BOW CABLE ENTRY Figure 6-2 Antenna unit 4-Ø12 HOLES Mounting platform Holes for antenna unit: FLAT WASHER The mounting surface must be parallel with the waterline and provided with five holes whose dimensions are shown in the outline drawing attached at the end of this manual. The unit is adjusted so a target echo returned from the bow direction will be shown on the zero degree (heading line) position on the screen. When drilling holes, be sure they are parallel with the fore and aft line. 3. Prepare a platform of 5 to 10 millimeters in thickness for the antenna unit. (A mounting bracket for mounting the antenna unit on a sailboat mast is optionally available. See the below for details.) Find the cable entry on the radome base. Next, position the radome base so the cable entry faces the stern direction. This alignment must be as accurate as possible. Fasten the radome base to the mounting platform with four each of M10 x 25 hex bolts, flat washers and spring washers. Mask size; φ70 to φ125 mm PLATFORM Antenna base plate Effective thread length Packing Radome 25 mm 5 - 10 mm Flat washer Spring washer Apply silicone sealant Platform M10 x 25 Hex bolt Figure 6-4 How to fasten the radome base to the mounting platform Wiring and final preparation 4. Drill a hole of at least 20 millimeters diameter through the deck or bulkhead to run the signal cable between the antenna unit and the display unit. (To prevent electrical interference avoid running the signal cable near other electrical equipment and in parallel with power cables.) Pass the cable through the hole. Then, seal the hole with sealing compound for waterproofing. 5. Remove the shield cover in the radome.

Detach the antenna housing cover from the antenna housing by loosening four fixing bolts. The antenna housing cover fitted with the transceiver module can be stored in a convenient place until the wiring to the antenna unit is done. 3. Place the antenna housing on the mounting platform and orient it as shown in Figure 6-11. Ship's bow Ship's bow Figure 6-11 How to orient the antenna unit 4. Insert four M12 x 60 hex head bolts with the seal washers from inside the antenna housing, to prevent the bolts from contacting the transceiver module. Install the seal washer with the larger diameter next to the head of the bolt. Coat flat and spring washers and nuts and then use them to fasten the antenna housing to the mounting platform. Finally, coat exposed parts of nuts, bolts and flat and spring washers as shown in Figure 6-12. Note: Tighten the bolts by their nuts to prevent damage to the seal washer. Do not turn the bolts to secure the antenna housing. Connections Only the signal cable runs from the display unit to the antenna unit. Make the hole for passing the cable through the bulkhead or deck at least 20 millimeters diameter. In order to minimize the chance of picking up electrical interference, avoid where possible routing the signal cable near other onboard electrical equipment. Also, avoid running the cable in parallel with power cables. Pass the cable through the hole and apply sealing compound around the hole for waterproofing. The procedure for connecting the signal cable to the antenna unit is as following. 1. Through a pipe or waterproof cable grand fitted on the wheelhouse top or bulkhead. 2. Unfasten four screws at bottom of the scanner base to remove the cable gland assembly. 3.

Figure 6-17 How to coat radiator with silicone sealant for XN8 type radiator 29 6.2 Display Unit Installation Mounting Mounting considerations The display unit is designed to be mounted on a tabletop or bulkhead. When selecting a mounting location for the display unit keep in mind the following points. 1. Using the hangar as a template, mark screw locations in the mounting location. ¡ Even though the display unit is waterproof, it is recommended that the display unit must be mounted inside an enclosed cabinet. 2. Fix the hanger to the mounting location with five M6 tapping screws (supplied). ¡ Provide adequate space behind and around the unit to permit circulation of air and to provide convenient access to the rear connectors. ¡ Even though the picture is quite legible even in bright sunlight, keep the display unit out of direct sunlight or at least shaded because of heat that can build up inside the cabinet. ¡ Locate the display unit in a position where you can view and operate it conveniently but where there is no danger of salt or fresh water spray or immersion. ¡ The orientation of the display unit should be so the radar screen is viewed while the operator is facing in the direction of the bow. This makes determination of your position much easier. ¡ Make sure you allow enough clearance both to get to the connectors behind the unit and to allow you to get your hands in on both sides to loosen or tighten the mounting knobs. Make sure you leave at least a foot or so of "service loop" of cables behind the unit so it can be pulled forward for servicing or easy removal of the connectors. ¡ The compass safe distance of 0.8 meters (standard compass) and 0.6 meters (steering compass) should be observed to prevent deviation of the magnetic compass. ¡ Even though the display unit meets waterproof standard IPX-5, the connection of external buzzer, radar plotter and/or remote display can affect waterproofness. Watertight integrity cannot be guaranteed. When these modification has been done, the display unit should not be mounted where exposed. 3. Fit the knob bolts to the display unit. Install the display unit in the hunger. Tighten the knob bolts securely. Connections 1. Connect the power cable to the power cable connector on the rear of the display unit. 2. Connect the signal cable to connector DJ1 on the rear of the display unit. 3. Run a ground wire (local supply) between the ground terminal on the rear of the display unit and the ship's superstructure. Navigation aid, video sounder connection If your navigation aid can output data in IEC1162(NMEA 0183) data format, your vessel's position in latitude and longitude, the range and bearing to waypoint, speed and course may be input to this radar, and be seen on the screen. Further if your video sounder can output depth in IEC1162 (NMEA 0183) data format, depth can be displayed on the radar screen. You will need an NMEA cable: Type MJ-A6SPF0012-050 MJ-A6SPF0012-100 MJ-A6SPF0003-050 MJ-A6SPF0009-100 Code no. 000-134-424 000-133-817 000-117-603 000-125-236 This radar can output NAV data received from a navaid to an echosounder. 03P9369 INT9213 J1352 (NMEA) Navaid (TLL) Echosounder J1354 1832/1932/1942 30 Remarks 6P-6P (5m) 6P-6P (10m) w/connector w/connector Heading Sensor Connection Heading signal can be connected to the "HDG" connector.

Aligning heading (Adjustment sector:0~359.90) You have mounted the antenna unit facing straight ahead in the direction of the bow. Therefore, a small but conspicuous target dead ahead visually should appear on the heading line (zero degrees). In practice, you will probably observe some small error on the display because of the difficulty in achieving accurate initial positioning of the antenna unit. The following adjustment will compensate for this error. 1. Identify a suitable target (for example, ship or buoy) at a range between 0.125 to 0.25 nautical miles, preferably near the heading mark. To lessen error, keep echoes in the outer half of the picture by changing the range. Also, be sure the zoom and off center functions are off. 2. Select "9. Heading Alignment" on the installation setup menu and press the [ACQ/ ENTER] key. The following message appears on the display.

As a final test, move the boat towards a small buoy and confirm that the buoy shows up dead ahead on the radar when it is visually dead ahead. [ Sweep Timing Adjustment ] Use omnipad to straighten target and press ENTER key. Correction Adjusting sweep timing (Adjustment range:0.000~3.239nm) This adjustment ensures proper radar performance, especially on short ranges. The radar measures the time required for a transmitted echo to travel to the target and return to the source. The received echo appears on the display based on this time. Thus, at the instant the transmitter is fired, the sweep should start from the center of the display (sometimes called sweep origin.) A trigger pulse generated in the display unit goes to the antenna unit through the signal cable to trigger the transmitter (magnetron). The time taken by the signal to travel up to the antenna unit varies, depending largely on the length of signal cable. During this period the display unit should wait before starting the sweep. When the display unit is not adjusted correctly, the echoes from a straight local object (for example, a harbor wall or straight pier) will not appear with straight edges - namely, they will be seen as "pushed out" or "pulled in" near the picture center. The range of objects will also be incorrectly shown. 0.000 nm <Press MENU for inst setup> Figure 6-25 Sweep timing adjustment message 4.

This auto plotter is not designed to replace the human eye nor make decisions for the navigator. It is intended for use as an aid to navigation. Always maintain a watch while underway. Data obtained from this auto plotter should always be double checked against other sources to verify the reliability of the data. This auto plotter automatically tracks a acquired radar target and calculates its course and speed, indicating it by a vector. Since the data generated by this unit are based on what radar targets are selected, the radar must always be optimally tuned for use with it to ensure that required targets will not be lost or unwanted targets such as sea returns and noise will not be acquired and tracked. A target echo does not always mean a landmass, reef, ships or other surface objects but can imply returns from sea surface or precipitation. As the level of these returns varies with environment, the operator is required to properly adjust the STC (ant-clutter sea), FTC (anti-clutter rain) and GAIN controls to ensure that target echoes within the affected area are not eliminated from the radar screen. The optimum settings of these controls may slightly differ between the normal radar operation and plotting, and it is recommended to readjust them in accordance with the operating mode selected. AP-2 The installation must be done by a FURUNO representative or suitably qualified radar technician. Authorities require this. Keep magnets and magnetic fields away from the equipment. Magnetic fields will distort the picture and can cause equipment malfunction. Be sure the unit is well away from equipment which gives off magnetic fields (speaker, power transformer, etc.). The following items affect calculation accuracy. echo intensity radar transmission pulsewidth radar bearing error gyrocompass error own vessel or other vessel course change Q Q Q Q Q Data for CPA, TCPA, etc. are approximations only. Always use data obtained prudently. Operation of ARP-10 Keys Used for Auto Plotter General The Auto plotter utilizes the following touchpad keys. Given below is a brief description of these keys. The Auto Plotter ARP-10 is an optional circuit board which is accommodated in the display unit of the MODEL 1832, 1932 and 1942 radars. The Auto Plotter permits manual or automatic acquisition and automatic tracking of up to 10 radar targets. An internal microprocessor calculates target data such as speeds and courses and displays the results in alphanumeric and by vectors. To ensure the reliability of the displayed target data, the radar must be properly adjusted for minimum sea returns and noise. MENU: Displays/Erases the main menu. SELECT/CANCEL: (Long press) Terminates plotting of the target selected with the cursor. (Brief press) Displays the data of target selected with the cursor. ACQ/ENTER: Acquires the target selected with the cursor. ARP-10 MENU Operation Principal Specifications The ARP-10 MENU operation includes the followings; Acquisition and tracking: Display: • Acquisition of up to 10 targets between 0.2 and 16 nm. All Cancel: • Automatic tracking of up to 10 acquired targets between 0.1 and 16 nm. Vectors: Vector length; 30 s, 1, 3, 6, 15, 30 min. Orientation; True velocity or relative velocity Past positions: Alarm: 5 past positions at intervals of 15, 30 s, 1, 2, 3, 6 min. Visual and audible alarms against targets violating CPA/TCPA limits, Visual alarm against lost targets Target discrimination: A target measuring about 800 m or more in the radial or circumferential direction is regarded as a landmass and not acquired or tracked. Echoes smaller than about 800 m are regarded as true targets. Turns on/off the plot symbols, past positions and target data. Cancels the tracking of all targets. Vector Ref: Selects relative vector or true vectors. To select your choice, open the ARP-10 menu, and the legend Rel and True appear on the "3. Vector Ref" line. Operate the omnipad. When your selection is in the reverse video, press the [ACQ/ENTER] key. Vector Length: Selects vector time. History: Selects past position plot interval. CPA Set: Selects CPA alarm limit. When a target is predicted to come within this limit, an aural alarm sounds and at the same time the corresponding target symbol changes to a blinking triangle. Note:If the preset CPA limit is set at OFF, a target which is on collision course will not produce an alarm. TCPA Set: Selects TCPA alarm limit. Auto ACQ: Turns on/off Auto Acquisition Area.

Acquiring targets Manual Acquisition Follow the steps below to manually acquire a target. Up to 10 targets can be manually acquired. 1. Place the cursor (+) on a target of interest by operating the omnipad. 2. Press the [ACQ/ENTER] key. The plot symbol changes its shape according to the status as below. A vector appears in about one minute after acquisition indicating the target's motion trend. If the target is consistently detected for three minutes, the plot symbol changes to a solid mark. If acquisition fails, the target symbol blinks and disappears shortly. SQUARE (dotted) Immediately after acquisition - Plot symbol shown in broken lines. SQUARE (dotted with a vector) One minute after acquisition - Vector still unreliable. CIRCLE (Solid with a vector) 3 minutes after acquisition - Plot symbol changes to a solid circle indicating the stable tracking condition. Note 1:The target to be acquired should be within 0.2 to 16 nm from own ship and not obscured by sea or rain clutter for successful acquisition. Note 2:When you want to acquire 11th target, cancel tracking one of less important targets. Note 3:When auto acquisition mode (Auto ACQ) is on, up to 5 targets can be acquired. For detail, see next section titled Automatic Acquisition. WARNING When a tracked target nears another tracked target, the targets may be "swapped." When two targets come close to each other, one of the two can become a "lost target." Should this happen, reacquisition of the "lost target" is required after the two targets have separated. Automatic Acquisition The Auto plotter ARP-10 can acquire up to 5 targets automatically by setting the Auto Acquisition area predefined in the system. If Auto ACQ is selected after more than 5 targets have been manually acquired, only the remaining capacity of targets can be automatically acquired. Example; when 7 targets acquired manually, then the Auto ACQ is switched on only 3 targets can be acquire automatically. When five targets have been automatically acquired, "AUTO TARGET FULL" message appears at top left corner on the display. Setting Auto Acquisition Area Auto acquisition area is predefined between 2.0 and 2.5 nm in range and 45º on either side of the heading line in bearing. If a target come into this area, it is acquired automatically. AP-5 To turn ARP data on; 1. Press the [MENU] key. 2. Select the "DISP DATA". Figure AP-4 Auto acquisition area Follow the steps shown below to activate the auto acquisition area; 1. Open the "ARP-10 MENU". 2. Select "8. Auto ACQ" by operating the omnipad. 3. Operate the omnipad to select "On". 4. Press the [ACQ/ENTER] key. 3. Press the [ACQ/ENTER] key to select the message for "ARP" or "NAV and ARP ". 4. Press the [ACQ/ENTER] key to set. 5. Press the [MENU] key to close the menu. CAUTION At the speed under 5 kts the target data is displayed with a delay because of filtration. 5. Press the [MENU] key to close the menu. Terminating Tracking of Targets When the Auto Plotter has acquired 10 targets, no more acquisition occurs unless targets are lost. Should this happen, cancel tracking of individual targets or all targets by the procedure described below. Individual Targets Place the cursor (+) on a target which you do not want to be tracked any longer by operating the omnipad and press and hold down the [SELECT/CANCEL] key. All Targets All targets can be canceled from "ARP-10 MENU" at a time. 1. Open the "ARP-10 MENU". 2. Select "2. All Cancel". 3. Press the [ACQ/ENTER] key. Displaying Target Data The Auto Plotter calculates motion trends (range, bearing, course, speed, CPA and TCPA) of all targets under tracking at the ARP Data area. AP-6 Place the cursor on a wanted target and press the [SELECT/CANCEL] key. Data on the selected target is displayed at the bottom of the screen. The symbol of the selected target gets twice as large as the normal circle. The data includes the follows; RNG/BRG (Range/Bearing): Range and bearing from own ship to the last-plotted or selected target position with suffix "T" (True) or "M" (Magnetic). For true bearings suffix "T" is used in case of gyrocompass input and suffix "M" is used in case of magnetic compass input. COURSE/SPEED (Course/Speed): Course and speed are displayed for the lastplotted or selected target with suffix "T" (True) or "M" (Magnetic). For true bearings suffix "T" is used in case of gyrocompass input and suffix "M" is used in case of magnetic compass input. CPA (Closest Point of Approach) is the closest range a target will approach to own ship. Do not mix it with the operator preset CPA alarm limit. TCPA is the time to CPA measured with present speeds of own ship and the targets. Both CPA and TCPA are automatically calculated. When a target ship has passed clear of own ship, the CPA is displayed and the TCPA appears as "**.*". TCPA is counted up to 99.9 min. and beyond this it is indicated as TCPA>99.9 min. Mode and length of Vectors True or Relative Vector Target vectors are displayed in relative or true mode. Own ship does not have a vector in relative mode. Vector Length From the ARP-10 MENU, Vector Length can be set to 30 seconds, 1, 3, 6, 15 or 30 minutes and the selected vector time is indicated on the screen. 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. CPA/TCPA Alarm Visual and audible alarm are generated when the predicted CPA and TCPA of any target become less than their preset limits. The audible alarm continues for 10 seconds. The Auto plotter ARP-10 continuously monitors the predicted range at the Closest Point of Approach (CPA) and predicted time to CPA (TCPA) of each tracked target to own ship. When the predicted CPA of any target becomes smaller than a preset CPA alarm range and its predicted TCPA less than a preset TCPA alarm limit, the ARP-10 releases an audible alarm. In addition, the target plot symbol changes to a triangle and flashes together with its vector. Provided that this feature is used correctly, it will help 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 controls are properly adjusted and the Auto Plotter is set up so that it can track targets effectively. CPA/TCPA alarm ranges must be set up properly taking into consideration the size, tonnage, speed, turning performance and other characteristics of own ship. Past position Display The Auto Plotter displays equally time-spaced dots (maximum 5 dots) marking the past positions of any targets being tracked. 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 in TM mode. Operational Warnings WARNING The CPA/TCPA alarm feature should never be relied upon as a 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. There are two main situations which cause the Auto plotter to trigger visual and audible alarms. Follow the steps shown below to set the CPA/ TCPA alarm ranges: • CPA/TCPA alarm 1. Open the "ARP-10 MENU". • Lost target alarm 2. On the "CPA Set" line, select a CPA limit desired. (Off, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 nm) 3. Press the [ACQ/ENTER] key. AP-7 4. On the "TCPA Set" line, select a TCPA limit desired. (30s, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12M) 5. Press the [ACQ/ENTER] key. 6. Press the [MENU] key to close the menu. The flashing of the triangle plot symbol and vector remain on the screen until the dangerous situation is no longer present or you intentionally terminate tracking of the target by using the [SELECT/CANCEL] key. 2. Attach the ARP-10 Board to the right-hand chassis of the display unit, using the spacer supplied as follows. 1) Fasten three spacers tightly. 2) Attach the P107 connector on ARP10 Board to J107 connector on SPU Board. 3) Tighten three pan head screws to fix the ARP-10 Board.
