BASIC OPERA TION 4 8 ■ Checking the installation Before turning the power ON, be sure all the connec- tions are complete. The checklist at right may be help- ful for necessary con fi rmation. D Checklist q The 4 bolts securing the scanner unit must be fi rmly tightened.
4 BASIC OPERA TION 9 ■ Basic operation q T urn the power ON. w Push [TX]/[ ] after the countdown disap- pears from the screen. • See “ T urning power ON/OFF ” on page at left. e Push [+]/[ ] or [ – ]/[ ] several times to se- lect the display range.
10 4 BASIC OPERA TION The following are typical basic operation examples, which may hinder radar reception (sea clutter , precipitation in- terference and echoes from other radar). ■ RAIN function This function eliminates reflection echoes from rain, snow , fog etc.
11 4 BASIC OPERA TION ■ IR function Radar interference may appear when another ship ’ s radar is operating on the same frequency band in close proximity . The IR function can eliminate this type of interference. (p. 6) q Push [MENU]/[ ] to call up VIDEO menu.
12 4 BASIC OPERA TION ■ TRAILS function The trails function memorizes echoes continuously or at constant intervals. This is useful for watching other ships ’ tracks, approx. relative speed, etc. • Setting the trail interval time q Push [MENU]/[ ] twice to call up the VIDEO menu.
13 4 BASIC OPERA TION ■ Ship speed indication When the ship speed data with NMEA 0183 format is applied, the radar can display the ship speed. Knots (KT) or kilometers/hour (KM/h) are automatically se- lected in the normal screen (p. 4) by selecting nautical miles (NM) or kilometers (KM) respectively .
5 DIST ANCE AND DIRECTION MEASUREMENTS 14 ■ Distance measurement T wo measurement procedures are available with this radar . Operating them separately or jointly is possible. The distance unit, nautical miles (NM) or kilometers (KM) is selected in the FUNCTION menu (p.
15 5 DIST ANCE AND DIRECTION MEASUREMENTS ■ Bearing and Distance measurement This radar has 2 Electronic Bearing Lines (EBL) to in- dicate the target direction from your ship or a target. D Using the EBL and VRM q Push [ Ù Ú Ω≈ ] to move the cursor on the desired target.
■ Advanced measurements Using both Electronic Bearing Lines (EBL) and both V ariable Range Markers (VRM), the following ad- vanced measurements can be made: D Measuring the distance and direction between 2 targets q Push [ Ù Ú Ω ≈] to move the cursor on the desired target.
The unit has an alarm function to protect your ship from collisions. If other ships or islands, etc. come into the pre- programmed alarm zone, the function alerts you with an alarm.
■ A T A (Automatic T racking Aid) By tracking automatically the target chosen by the cursor key , the closest point of approach (CP A) and the time to closest point of approach (TCP A) limit of a own ship and a target are calculated.
■ A T A operation Select the target which you want to track on the dis- play . q Push [ Ù Ú Ω ≈] to move the “ + ” cursor on the de- sired target. w Push [ TARGET]/ [ ] for 1 sec. to select the tar- get for tracking. • Dotted square symbol appears on the cursor .
■ Plots Plot displays past position of targets every 1 min. as 3 dots. q T arget goes straight. w T arget turns right. e T arget reduces speed . r T arget increases speed.
■ Indirect echoes Indirect echoes may be returned from either a passing ship, or returned from a re fl ecting surface, such as a mast on your own ship. An indirect echo from a re fl ecting surface will appear on a different bearing from the direct (true) echo, but the distance will be approximately the same for both.
8 BASIC RADAR THEOR Y 22 ■ Multiple echoes Multiple echoes may appear when a short-range and strong echo is received from a ship, bridge, or break- water . Multiple echoes will appear beyond the target ’ s true echo point on the same bearing of a large target.
8 BASIC RADAR THEOR Y 23 ■ Blind and Shadow sectors Blind or Shadow sectors may exist because of ob- structions such as masts, derricks or stacks. An ob- struction may throw either a complete or partial shadow as shown in the diagram below . If a target is in a shadow sector , target echoes may not appear on the screen.
■ Connecting the units NMEA1 connection NMEA2 connection ■ Power source requirement D DC power source The radar is designed for connection to any power source if the voltage is 10.2 – 42 V DC, so that a 12, 24, or 32 V DC battery can be used without a DC-DC con- verter , or any internal modi fi cations.
