SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard

The radar antenna emits electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy which can be harmful, particularly to your eyes. Never look directly into the antenna aperture from a close distance while the radar is in operation or expose yourself to the transmitting antenna at a close distance.

Distances at which RF radiation levels of 100 and 10 W/m below.

Note: If the antenna unit is installed at a close distance in front of the wheel house,

your administration may require halt of transmission within a certain sector of antenna revolution. This is possible. Ask your FURUNO representative or dealer to provide this feature.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Do not open the equipment.

Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment.

Turn off the radar power switch before servicing the antenna unit. Post a warning sign near the switch indicating it should not be turned on while the antenna unit is being serviced.

Prevent the potential risk of being struck by the rotating antenna and exposure to RF radiation hazard.

Wear a safety belt and hard hat when working on the antenna unit.

Serious injury or death can result if someone falls from the radar antenna mast.

WARNING

Use the proper fuse.

Use of a wrong fuse can result in damage to the equipment or cause fire.

Keep heater away from equipment.

Heat can alter equipment shape and melt the power cord, which can cause fire or electrical shock.

Do not place liquid-filled containers near the equipment.

Fire or electrical shock can result if a liquid spills into the equipment.

Do not operate the equipment with wet hands.

Electrical shock can result.

Before servicing the radar, turn off the appropriate external breaker.

Power is not removed from the radar simply by turning off its power switch.

Do not disassemble or modify the equipment.

Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can result.

Immediately turn off the power at the ship's mains switchboard if water leaks into the equipment or the equipment is emitting smoke or fire.

Continued use can cause fatal damage to the equipment.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

No one navigational aid should be relied upon for the safety of vessel and crew. The navigator has the responsibility to check all aids available to confirm position. Electronic aids are not a substitute for basic navigational principles and common sense.

• This ARP automatically tracks automatically or manually acquired radar targets and calculates their courses and speeds, indicating them by vectors. Since the data generated by the auto plotter are based on what radar targets are selected, the radar must always be optimally tuned for use with the auto plotter, to ensure required targets will not be lost or unwanted targets such as sea returns and noise will not be acquired and tracked.

• A target does not always mean a land mass, reef, ships or other surface vessels but can imply returns from sea surface and clutter. As the level of clutter changes with environment, the operator should properly adjust the A/C SEA, A/C RAIN and GAIN controls to be sure target echoes are not eliminated from the radar screen.

WARNING LABEL Warning labels are attached to the equipment. Do not remove any label. If a label is missing or damaged, contact a FURUNO agent or dealer about replacement.

CAUTION

The plotting accuracy and response of this ARP meets IMO standards. Tracking accuracy is affected by the following:

• Tracking accuracy is affected by course change. One to two minutes is required to restore vectors to full accuracy after an abrupt course change. (The actual amount depends on gyrocompass specifications.)

• The amount of tracking delay is inversely proportional to the relative speed of the target. Delay is on the order of 15—30 seconds for high relative speed; 30—60 seconds for low relative speed.

The data generated by ARP, AIS and video plotter are intended for reference only.

Refer to official nautical charts for detailed and up-to-date information.

WARNING

To avoid electrical shock, do not remove cover. No user-serviceable parts inside.

WARNING

Radiation hazard. Only qualified personnel should work inside scanner. Confirm that TX has stopped before opening scanner.

Precautions for high speed targets

Assume your ship is making 40 kt and a target ship is approaching at 40 kt right toward you. Then the relative speed is 80 kt. With the antenna rotating at 42 rpm, the target blip appears jumping to a new locat i o n 59 m nearer. This jump correspon d s to 19 mm on the display using the 0 . 25 nm range scale. On such a short range you may lose the track of a target in the midst of sea clutter, random noise or other targets. Use one step larger range scale.

ARPA can fail to track a ta rget when the relative speed exceeds 100 kt.

SP - 4 E3519S01L-M

1. RADAR OPERATION

1.1 Turning on the Power

The [POWER] switch ( ) is located at t he left corner of the control unit. Open the POWER switch cover and press the switch to turn on the radar system. To turn off t he r adar, pr es s t he s witch agai n. The screen shows the bearing scale and digital timer approxi mately 30 seconds after power-on. The three minut es of warm-up time. During this period the magnetron (transmitter tube) is warmed for transmission. When the timer has reac hed 0:00, the indicat ion “ST-BY” appears at the screen cent er, meaning the radar is now ready to transmit pulses.

In the stand-by condition, markers, rings, map, charts, etc. ar e not shown. Further, ARP is cancelled and t he AIS display is erased.

In war m - up and stand-by condition, O N TIME and TX TIME count s in hour s and tenths of hour appear at the s cr een c enter.

Note: Avoid t ur ning the power on directly after it has bee n turned off. Wait several seconds before reapplying the power, to ensure proper start up.

timer counts down

1.2 Transmitter ON

After the power is turned on a nd the magnetro n has warmed up, ST-BY appears at the screen center, meaning t he r adar is ready to transmit r adar pulses. You may trans mit by pressi ng the [STBY/TX] key on the full key boar d or r oll the trackball to choose the TX STBY box at the bottom left corner of t he display and then push the left but ton (above the trackball). The label at the l eft-hand side of the guidanc e box at the bottom ri ght corner of t he s c r een changes from TX to STBY.

1. RADAR OPERATION

The radar is initially set to previously used range and pulse length. Other settings such as brilliance levels, VRMs, EBLs and menu option selections are also set to previous settings.

The [STBY/TX] key (or TX STBY box) toggles the radar between STBY and TRANSMIT status. The antenna stops in stand-by and rotates in transmit. The magnetron ages with time resulting in a reduction of output power. Therefore, it is highly recommended that the radar be set to stand-by when not used for an extended period of time.

Quick start

Provided that the radar was once in use with the transmitter tube (magnetron) still warm, you can turn the radar into TRANSMIT condition without three minutes of warm-up. If the [POWER] switch has been turned off by mistake or the like and you wish to restart the radar promptly, turn on the [POWER] switch not later than 10 seconds after power-off.

Echo area

The echo display area for the non-IMO radar is available in three configurations: round, wide, and full screen. You can select configuration with 7 ECHO AREA on the ECHO menu.

1.5 Operation Using the On-Screen Boxes

All radar func t ions can be access ed by using the trackball alone. T his is done by choosing the appropriat e on- sc reen box with the trackbal l and operating the trackball module to choose item and option. (See paragraph 1.9 for loc ation of all on-screen boxes.) On-scr een boxes come in two varieties: Function selection and function s election w/pop-up menu. On- s c r een boxes of t he latter type have “►” at the right s ide of their boxes , as in the MARK box shown below.

To operate the radar using on-s creen boxes, do the following:

1. Roll the trackball to place the trac kball marker inside the box desired. Note: T he trackball marker c hanges it s c onfiguration according to its location.

It is an arrow when placed out s ide the eff ec tive display and a cursor (+) when i ns ide the eff ective display. See the illustration on the next page for fur ther details.

For example, c hoose the MARK box , which is at the bottom left corner.

1.12.2 Description of pr e se ntatio n mo de s

Head-up mode

The head-up mode is a display in which the line connecting own shi p and the top of the display indicat es own ship’s heading.

The target pips are painted at their measured distances and i n their directions relati ve to own ship’s heading.

A short line on the bear ing scale is the north marker indicati ng heading sensor north. A failure of the heading sens or input will cause t he north marker to disappear and the readout to show ***.*° and the message HDG S IG MISSING appears in red at the lower-right corner of the screen.

Note: When display is off-centered, the heading mark appears at 000 degrees.

Head-up mode

Course-up mode

The course- up mode is an azim uth stabilized display in which a line c onnec t ing the center w ith the top of t he display indic ates own ship’s intended course (namely, own ship’s previous h eading just before this mode has been selected).

Target pips are painted at their m eas ured distances and in their di r ec tions relati ve to t he intended course, whic h is m aintained at the 0-degree posit ion. The heading l ine moves in accor dance wit h ship’s yawing and c our s e c hange. This mode is useful to avoid smearing of pictur e dur ing course change.

1. RADAR OPERATION

Head-up TB (True Bearing) mode

Radar echoes ar e s hown i n the same way as in the head-up m ode. The difference from normal head-up prese ntation lies in the ori entation of the bear ing scale. The bearing scal e is heading sens or s tabilized. That is, it rotates in accordance with the headi ng sensor signal , enabling you to know own ship’s heading at a glance.

This mode is available w hen the radar is interfaced wi th a gyro heading sens or. If the gyro heading sensor fails, the bearing scale retur ns t o the state of head-up mode.

North-up mode

The north- up m ode paints target pips at their meas ur ed dist anc es and in their true (heading sensor) di rec tions from own ship, north bear ing maint ained at the top of the screen. The heading line changes its direc tion according to the ship’s heading. Requires heading s ignal.

If the compass fail s, the presentation mode changes to head-up and t he nor th marker disappears. Also, the HDG indicat ion shows ***.*°. A nd the message HDG SIG MISSI NG appears in red at the lower-right corner of the screen.

True motion mode

Own shi p and other moving objec ts move in accordance w ith their true c our s es and speed. In ground stabilized TM, all fixed targets, such as landmasses, appear as stationary echoes. In the sea stabilized TM wit hout set and drift inputs, the landmass can move on the s cr een. Note tha t true motion is not available on the 72 nm (non-IMO type only) or 96 nm range sc ale. If COG and SOG (both over the ground) are not available on TM mode, enter the s et (tide dir ec tion) and drif t (tide speed) manually referring to the Tide Table.

When own s hip reaches a point cor r esponding t o 50% of the radius of the display, own ship position is automatical ly r eset to a point of 75% radi us opposite to the extension of the heading line pas s ing through the display center. You may also reset t he own ship sy m bol manually by pr es s ing the [CU/TM RESET] key, or roll the t rackball to choose the CU/TM RESET box at the bottom right corner of the display and then push t he left but t on.

If the headi ng s ensor fail s , t he m ode is changed to the head-up and the north marker disappears. The HDG readout shows ***.*° and the message HDG SIG MISSING appears in red at the lower-ri ght corner of the screen.

Accordingly, with the bar reading set t o 100, gain is not lowered to mini m um as with manual A/ C S E A on close-in ranges. Further, the auto A / C S E A level is low because the average value of the original input echo is l ow in areas where ther e are no sea surf ace r eflections . For example, when the ship is alongside a quay and the radar picture shows echoes from both land and sea, y ou c an observe the size of echoes because the STC curve is di fferent depending size of echoes.

Note: The auto A/C funct ion can erase w eak target echoes. Adj ust the control

The A/C SEA contr ol reduces the amplification of echoes at short ranges (where clutter is the greatest) and progressivel y increases amplific ation as the range increases, s o am plific ation will be normal at those ranges where there is no sea clutter.

The proper setting of the A/ C S E A should be such that the c lutter is broken up into small dots, and small targets become dist inguishable. If the setting is set too low, targets will be hidden in the clutter, while if the setting is too high, both sea clutter and targets will disappear from the displa y. In most cases adjust the control unt il clutter has disappeared to leeward, but a little is stil l vi s ible windward.

The verti c al beam width of the antenna is designed to see surface targets even when the s hip is rolling. However , by this desi gn the unit will also detect rain clutter (r ain, snow, or hail) in the same manner as nor mal targets.

The A/C RAIN control adj us ts the receiver sensitivi ty as the A/C SEA control does but rat her in a longer tim e per iod (longer r ange). The higher the setting the greater the a nti-clutter effect. When echoes from pr ec ipitation mask solid targets , adjust the A/ C RA IN control to split up these unwanted echoes into a s pec k led pattern, making recog nition of solid targets easier.

1.19 Interference Rejector

Mutual r adar interference may occur in the vi c inity of another shipborne radar operati ng in the same frequency band. It is seen on the screen as a num ber of bright spikes either i n ir r egular patter ns or in the form of us ually curved spoke-li ke dotted lines ex tending from the c enter to the edge of t he picture. Activating the interfer enc e r ejector cir cuit can reduce this type of interference.

The interference rejector is a kind of signal correl ation circuit . It compares t he received si gnals over succ es s ive transmi ss ions and suppresses randoml y occurring signals. There are three levels of inter ference rejection dependi ng on the number of transmissi ons that are correlat ed.

1.20 Measuring the Range

The range to a target may be measured three ways: with the fixed range rings, with the curs or, or with the VRM.

Use the fix ed range rings to obtain a rough estimate of the range to a target. They are t he c oncentric solid circles about own ship, or the sweep origin. The number of rings is automat ically determ ined by the selected range scale and their i nterval is displayed at the upper-left position of the screen. C ount the number of rings betw een the center of the di s play and the tar get. Check the range ring interval and judge the distance of the echo from the inner ed ge of the nearest ring.

1.22 Collision Assessment by Offset EBL

The ori gin of the EBL c an be placed anywhere with the trackball t o enable measurement of r ange and bearing between any targets. T his function is als o useful for ass es s m ent of the potential ri s k of collision. It is pos sible to read CPA (Closest Point of Approach) by using a VRM as shown below (Figure (a)). If the EBL passes throu gh the sweep origin (own ship) as illust r ated (Figure (b)) , the target s hip is on a collision course.

1.22.1 How to assess risk of collision by the offset EBL

By keyboard

1. Press the [EBL ON] key to display or activate an EBL (No. 1 or No. 2).

2. Place the cursor (+) on a target appea r ing as threateni ng ( A in the illustrated example on the next page) by operating the trackball .

3. Press the [EBL O FFSET] key, and the origin of the active EBL shifts to the cursor posit ion. Press the [EBL O FFSET key] again to anchor th e E B L origin.

4. After waiting for a few minutes (at least 3 minutes), oper ate the EBL r otary control unt il the EBL bisect s t he target at the new pos ition (A'). The EBL readout shows the target ship's c our s e, which may be t r ue or r elative depending o n the EBL bearing reference setting.

Note: If relative moti on is selected, it is also possi ble to read CPA by using a

VRM as shown in left -hand figure at the t op of the next page. If the EBL passes throu gh the sweep origin (own ship) as illust r ated in the right-hand f igure at the top of then next page, the target ship is on a collision course.

5. To return the E B L origin to the own ship's position, press the [EBL OFFSET] key twice.

By trackball

1. Displ ay an EBL, following steps 1- 3 in “By trackball” in paragr aph 1. 21.1.

2. With the cursor inside t he effective display ar ea, push the left button, roll the wheel to show “EBL OFFSET / EXIT” in the guidance box and then push the left but ton.

3. Roll the trackball to place the off s et EBL on a target appearing as threatening (A in the illus trated example on the next page) and then push the left but t on to anchor the EBL origin.

4. After waiting for a few minutes (at least 3 minutes), oper ate the EBL us ed in step 1 until it bisects the target at the new position (A' ) . The EBL readout shows the target ship' s c our se, which may be true or relative depending on the EBL bearing reference setting.

To return the EBL origin to the sc r een c ent er, show “EBL O F FSET / EXIT” in the guidance window and then push the left button.

1.26 Echo Stretch

The echo st r et c h feature enlarg es targets in the range and bearing directi ons t o make them eas ier to see, and it is available on any range. There are three types of echo stretc h, 1, 2 and 3, and the higher the number the greater the amount of stretching.

Note: The echo stretch m agnifies not only small target pip s but also returns

(clutt er) from sea surface, rain and radar interference. For this reason, make sure the se types of i nterference have been sufficiently suppr es s ed before acti vating the echo str etch.

1.27 Echo Averaging

The echo averaging feature effectively suppresses sea clutt er. E c hoes r ec eived from stable targets such as shi ps appear on the sc r een at almost the s ame positi on every rotation of the antenna. O n the other hand, unstable ec hoes such as sea clutt er appear at random pos itions.

To distinguish real target echoes from s ea c lutter, echoes are averaged ove r successive picture frames . If an echo is solid and st able over successive frames, it is present ed in its normal intensi ty. Sea clutter is averaged over successive scans and i ts brilliance reduced, making it easier t o discriminate r eal targets from sea clutter.

Echo averaging uses scan-t o-s can signal c or r elation technique based on the true moti on over the ground of eac h target. Thus, sm all stationar y target s s uc h as buoys w ill be shown while suppressing ra ndom echoes such as s ea c lutter. True echo averaging is not however effecti ve for picking up s m all targets running at high speeds over the ground.

Note 1: Do not use the echo averaging f unc tion under h eavy pitching and

rolling; loss of targets can result.

Note 2: Echo a v er aging can be used without a heading sensor. For further

details, cont ac t your dealer.

Note 3: Echo a v er aging requires heading, posi tion and spee d data.

To properly use the echo a veraging function, it is recommended to fi r s t suppr es s sea clutt er with the A/C SEA control. Then, do as follows:

1. Roll the trackball to choose the PI CTURE box at the left side of the display.

2. Push the right button to show the PICT URE m enu.

3. Roll the wheel to choos e 3 E CHO AVERAGE and then push the wheel or the left but ton.

4. Roll the wheel to choos e O FF, 1, 2 or 3 as appropriate and t hen push the wheel or the left button. Chos en s etting appears at the top left corner.

1.28 Target Trails

The trails of the radar echoes of targets may be displ ayed in the form of synthet ic afterglow. Target trails are chosen either r elative or true and may be sea or ground stabilized. True motion trails require a compass signal and own ship speed input.

1.28.1 True or relative trail s

You may display echo tr ails in true or relative motion (only true trail on TM). Relative tr ails show relative movements betw een targets and own ship. True motion tr ails require a gy r oc om pass signal and own ship speed input to canc el out own s hip's movement and present true target movem ents in accor dance wit h their over-the-ground s peeds and courses.

1.33 Automatic Picture Setup According to Navigation Purpose

Every ti m e y our navigating environment or task changes, you must adjust the radar, whic h c an be a nuisance in a bus y situation. Instead of changing radar settings cas e by case, it is pos s ible to assi gn the function key s to provide optimum set tings for often encountere d s ituations.

The radar's internal computer offers several pictur e s etup options to be assigned to each function key for your s pec ific navigat ing requirements. For instance, one of the funct ions is assi gned the buoy detecting function and labeled SHIP on the on the PICTURE box. By c hoos ing SHIP, the radar will be instantly set for optimum det ection of ships.

Four user-pr ogrammabl e s etups are also pr ovided (labeled PICTURE 1- P ICTURE4), s o that you may have the radar automatically adjusted to those condi t ions which ar e not covered by the provided setup opt ions.

Below are the preset pictur e s etup options pr ovided wit h this radar.

Each pictur e setup option def ines a combination of several radar settings for achieving optimum setup for a particular navigat ing situation. Those involved are interfer ence r ejector, echo str etch, echo a verage, noise r ejector, automat ic anti-sea and anti-rai n clutters, vi deo c ontrast, pulselength and sea and radar conditions.

Adjusting these features f r om the PICTURE menu changes the or iginal func tion key settings. To restore the original settings for a particular picture set up option, it is necessar y to choose the def ault setting. For this reason, we recommend ed that you us e the user-programmable function set s when frequent adjus tment of the radar pict ur e is necessary.
