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.

FOREWORD

A Word to the Owner of the FAR-28x7/FAR-21x7(-BB)

Congratul ations on your c hoice of the FURUNO FAR-28x7/FA R-21x 7( -BB) Seri es Radar. We are conf ident you w ill see why FURUNO has become synonymous w ith quality and reliability.

For over 50 y ears FURUNO Elec tric Company has enjoyed an en vi able reput ation for innovati ve a nd dependabl e m ar ine electronics equipment. Thi s dedic ation to excel lence is furthered by our extensi ve gl obal network of agents and dealers.

Your radar is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the m ar ine environme nt. However, no machine can perform its int ended function unless installed, operated an d m aintained pr operly. Please carefully r ead and follow the recom m ended procedures f or operation and maintenanc e.

We would appreciate hearing from you, the end-user, about whether w e ar e achieving our purposes.

Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO equipment.

Note: The example sc r eens shown in t his manual may not m atch the screens you see on

your dis play. The scr een you see depends o n your system configurat ion and equipment s ettings.

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.

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.
