SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
Stay away from transmitting scanner.
The radar scanner emits microwave radiation which can be harmful to the
human body, particularly the eyes. Never look directly into the scanner
radiator from a distance of less than 1 m when the radar is in operation.
Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard
The radar scanner emits electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy which can be
harmful, particularly to your eyes. Never look directly into the scanner aperture from a
close distance while the radar is in operation or expose yourself to the transmitting
scanner at a close distance.

1. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
1.1 What is Radar?
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
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 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
Scanner 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 scanner. 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.
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.
1.6 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.

2.2 Turning the Radar On/Off
2.4 Stand-by
Press the [POWER] key to turn the radar on
or off.
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.
2.3 Transmitting
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.
Press the [STBY TX] key to transmit.
When transmitting, any echoes from targets
appear on the display. This radar displays
echoes in eight tones of green according to
echo strength.
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.)
Economy mode
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.
Navigation data display during
stand-by
If a navigation aid inputs navigation data to
this radar in IEC 61162 format, navigation
data can be displayed during stand-by. You
can turn the navigation data display on/off
through the menu. Figure 2-2 shows a typical navigation data display during stand-by.

2.7 Adjusting Receiver Sensitivity
Note2: When Range to Waypoint reaches 0.1
nm, the WPT marker jumps to dead ahead
even though a difference may exist between
heading and BRG to WPT.
Note3: When cross track error exceeds 1 nm
on either side, the XTE mark starts blinking.
2.5 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.
Y ou 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.
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.
T o adjust receiver sensitivity , transmit on long
range, and adjust the [GAIN] control so background noise is just visible on the screen.
2.8 Adjusting the A/C SEA
Control
To select a range;
Press the [- RANGE +] key. The range and
range ring interval appear at the top left corner of 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.
2.6 Adjusting Picture Brilliance
The [BRILL] key adjusts the brilliance of the
radar picture in sixteen levels. The current
level momentarily appears on the screen
whenever the [BRILL] key is pressed.
(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 2-3.) 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.
