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 ius in operation or eexpose yourself to the transmitting antenna at a close distance. Distances at which RF radiation level of 100, 50 and 10 W/m 2are given in the table 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 representive or dealer to provide this feature.

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.

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

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.

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 TT 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 landmass, 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 TT 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.

Display accuracy is affected by the following:

-Echo intensity

-Radar transmission pulsewidth

-Radar bearing error

-Gyrocompass error

-Course change (own ship and target)

The data generated by TT, 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.

Signal Processing Functions

This radar has the signal processing functions described in the table below. All signal processing functions are set with the Picture feature. See section 1.35 for additional information.

Signal processing function

Description

Section

Interference rejector

Suppress interference transmitted by other

1.25

 

radars. Interference received simultaneously from

 

 

many radars can be difficult to reduce.

 

Echo stretch

Enlarge target echoes, especially small echoes.

1.26

 

Suppress interference, sea clutter and rain clutter

 

 

before using echo stretch, to prevent the

 

 

enlargement of unwanted echoes.

 

Echo averaging

The radar samples echoes with each scan.

1.27

 

Targets that show a large change with each scan

 

 

are judged as clutter and are reduced to display

 

 

only echoes from legitimate targets. Requires

 

 

position and speed data.

 

Noise rejector

Suppress white noise and increase the S/N ratio

1.28

 

to improve picture clarity.

 

Wiper

Suppress unwanted echoes that appear after the

1.29

 

sweep completes a scan (within one second).

1.RADAR OPERATION

1.1Turning on the Power

The [POWER] switch () is located at the left corner of the control unit. Open the POWER switch cover and press the switch to turn on the radar system. To turn off the radar, press the switch again. The screen shows the bearing scale and digital timer approximately 30 seconds after power-on. The timer counts down three minutes of warm-up time. During this period the magnetron (transmitter tube) is warmed for transmission. When the timer has reached 0:00, the indication "ST-BY" appears at the screen center, meaning the radar is now ready to transmit pulses.

In the stand-by condition, markers, rings, map, charts, etc. are not shown. Further, TT and AIS are not shown.

In the warm-up and stand-by conditions, ON TIME and TX TIME count in hours and tenths of hour appear at the screen center.

Note 1: Do not turn the power on directly after it has been turned off. Wait several seconds before you reapply the power, to be sure the radar starts up properly.

Note 2: Parameters set on the menus are stored in a non-volatile memory (flash memory), and are preserved when the power is turned off.

1.2Transmitter ON

After the power is turned on and the magnetron has warmed up, ST-BY appears at the screen center, meaning the radar is ready to transmit radar pulses. You may transmit by pressing the [STBY/TX] key on the full keyboard, or use the trackball to select the TX STBY box at the bottom left corner of the display then push the left button (above the trackball). The label at the left-hand side of the guidance box at the bottom right corner of the screen 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.

How to stop antenna rotation

Antenna rotation can be stopped. One method is to turn off the antenna switch on the radar. The other method is to stop rotation from the menu. For how to stop rotation from the menu, see the installation manual.

Picture freeze

When the picture freezes the picture is not updated. 30 seconds after the picture freezes, the buzzer sounds, the [ALARM ACK] key blinks and the alarm contact signal is output. Reset the power to restore normal operation.

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 was 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 B, C and W types is available in three configurations: round, wide, and full screen. You can select a configuration with 7 ECHO AREA on the ECHO menu.

1. RADAR OPERATION

1.5Operation by the On-Screen Boxes

All radar functions can be accessed by using the trackball alone. This is done by choosing the appropriate on-screen box with the trackball and operating the trackball module to select item and option. (See section 1.9 for location of all on-screen boxes.) On-screen boxes come in two varieties: Function selection and function selection w/pop-up menu. On-screen boxes of the latter type have "►" at the right side of their boxes, as in the MARK box shown below.

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

1. Use the trackball to place the trackball marker inside the box desired.

Note: The trackball marker changes its configuration according to its location. It is an arrow when placed outside the effective display and a cursor

(+) when inside the effective display. See the illustration on the next page for further details.

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

When a box is correctly selected, its color changes from green to orange and the guidance box at the bottom right corner shows operational guidance. The operational guidance shows the function of the left and right buttons, with a diagonal line separating the information. For the MARK box, for example, the operational guidance is "MARK SELECT / MARK MENU." In this case you would push the left button to select a mark or push the right button to open the MARK menu.

2.Push the left button (or roll the scrollwheel depending on the box) until the desired option is displayed in the box.

Note: When you selected an on-screen box’s option by rolling the scrollwheel, the box and its contents turn light-blue. This simply indicates that the selected setting is different from the currently active setting. To change the setting, push the scrollwheel or the left button. If neither the scrollwheel nor the left button is pushed within about 30 seconds after operating the scrollwheel, the previous setting is automatically restored.
