SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The operator must read the safety instructions before attempting to operate the equipment.

The radar antenna emits electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy that 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 level of 100, 50 and 10 W/m

WARNING

Do not open the equipment.

The equipment uses high voltage that

can cause electrical shock. Refer any

repair work to a qualified technician.

Before turning on the radar, be sure

no one is near the antenna.

Prevent the potential risk of being

struck by the rotating antenna, which

can result in serious injury or death.

If water leaks into the equipment or

something is dropped into the

equipment, immediately turn off the

power at the switchboard.

Fire or electrical shock can result.

If the equipment is giving off smoke

or fire, immediately turn off the

power at the switchboard.

Fire or electrical shock can result.

If you feel the equipment is acting

abnormally or giving off strange

noises, immediately turn off the

power at the switchboard and

contact a FURUNO service techni-

cian.

Do not disassemble or modify the

equipment.

Fire, electrical shock or serious injury

can result.

Make sure no rain or water splash

leaks into the equipment.

Fire or electrical shock can result if

water leaks into the equipment.

Do not place liquid-filled containers

on or 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.

Keep objects away from the open-

type antenna unit, so as not to

impede rotation of the antenna.

Fire, electrical shock or serious injury

can result.

Use the proper fuse.

Use of the wrong fuse can cause fire or

damage the equipment.

The TT function is a valuable aid to

navigation. However, the navigator

must check all aids available to

avoid collision.

- The TT automatically tracks an

automatically or manually acquired

radar target and calculates its course

and speed, indicating them with a

vector. Since the data generated by

the TT depends on the selected radar

targets, the radar must be optimally

tuned for use with the TT, to ensure

required targets will not be lost or

unnecessary targets, like sea returns

and noise, will not be acquired and

tracked.

- A target is not always a landmass,

reef, ship, but can also be returns

from the sea surface and from clutter.

As the level of clutter changes with

the environment, the operator must

correctly adjust the sea and rain

clutter controls and the gain control so

that the target echoes do not dis-

appear from the radar screen.

WARNING

WARNING

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

iv

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 approx. 15-30 seconds for

the higher relative speed; approx. 30-60

seconds for the lower relative speed. The

following factors can affect accuracy:

- Echo intensity

- Radar transmission pulse length

- Radar bearing error

- Gyrocompass error

- Course change (own ship and targets)

Handle the LCD carefully.

The LCD is made of glass, which can

cause injury if broken.

The data presented by this equipment

is intended as a source of navigation

information.

The prudent navigator never relies

exclusively on any one source of

navigation information, for safety of

vessel and crew.

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

Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO FAR-3xx0 Series Marine Radar. We are confident

you will see why the FURUNO name has become synonymous with quality and reliability.

Since 1948, FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for innovative and

dependable marine electronics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our ex-

tensive global network of agents and dealers.

This equipment is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine environ-

ment. However, no machine can perform its intended function unless installed, operated and

maintained properly. Please carefully read and follow the recommended procedures for operation

and maintenance.

• New HMI (Human Machine Interface) gives improved operability.

• Accepts SXGA, UXGA video inputs.

• SOLAS category 1 compatible display (23.1”), SOLAS category 2 compatible display (19.0”).

• Radar, chart and chart radar modes. (The chart radar mode does not meet the criteria for nav-

igation aid for Japanese flag vessels as defined by Japanese law.)

• Many warning features to support safer and more efficient navigation.

• Grounding warnings, safe depth contours.

• Chart database loaded and updated using CD-ROMs.

• Tracked Target (TT) data and AIS data to aid in collision avoidance.

• AIS messaging.

• Route created in chart mode can be displayed on the radar.

• Route planning and route monitoring facilities in the chart mode.

Signal Processing Functions

This radar has the signal processing functions described in the table below. All signal processing

functions are set with the picture preset feature.

Standards Used in this Manual

• Three types of Control Units are available: Radar Control Unit RCU-025 (radar controls with

trackball module), ECDIS Control Unit RCU-024 (alphabet keyboard, controls, trackball mod-

ule) and Trackball Control Unit RCU-026 (trackball module only). Unless noted otherwise, “Con-

trol Unit” refers to the RCU-025.

• The system can be operated with the controls of the Radar Control Unit, ECDIS Control Unit or

a trackball module. The descriptions in this manual use the trackball module.

• Unless noted otherwise, "click" means to push the left button on a trackball module.

• The keys and controls of the Radar Control Unit are shown in bold face; for example, the EN-

TER key.

Signal processing function Description Section

Interference rejector Suppress interference transmitted by other radars. Inter-

ference received simultaneously from many radars can

be difficult to reduce.

2.7

Echo stretch Enlarge target echoes, especially small echoes. Sup-

press interference, sea clutter and rain clutter before us-

ing echo stretch, to prevent the enlargement of unwanted

echoes.

2.8

Echo averaging The radar samples echoes with each scan. Targets that

show a large change with each scan are judged as clutter

and are reduced to display only echoes from legitimate

targets.

2.9

Automatic clutter elimination Discriminate the clutter from the radar echo then reduce

the clutter automatically.

2.10

Noise rejector Reduce the white noise then improves the on-screen S/N

ratio by processing the weighted moving average filter for

the received echoes in the range direction. Use this func-

tion with caution. Weak target echoes may disappear

from the screen or the range resolution may worsen.

• The buttons on the InstantAccess bar, Status bar and menu items are shown in brackets; for

example, the [TUNE] button.

• Context-sensitive menus are available with many buttons, and boxes and objects. Right-click

an item to display the related context-sensitive menu.

• This radar is available in three types of specifications: IMO, A, or B. This manual provides the

descriptions for the B type, of which some functions are not available with the IMO or A type.

See the menu tree in Appendix 1 for function availability.

• “C-MAP” means “C-MAP by Jeppesen”.

• The display colors mentioned in this manual are those with the color palette setting “Day-Gray”.

xx: Minor change

Virus Prevention

This equipment is not equipped with a virus checker. This equipment operates in real time; there-

fore, having a virus checker that periodically checks the equipment for viruses would increase the

processing load, which can affect operation. However, you can avoid viruses by following the in-

structions in this section.

When you update a chart

The PC and medium (USB flash memory, etc.) used to download and store an update for an ex-

isting chart or a new chart may be infected with a virus. Check the PC and the medium for viruses

with a commercial virus checker - BEFORE you connect them to the ECDIS. Be sure the virus

checker contains the latest virus definition files.

Network connection

The ECDIS receives and displays information from various navigation equipment and radar via a

LAN. A PC and other equipment connected to a network can carry viruses. To prevent the intro-

duction of a virus to the LAN, DO NOT connect the ECDIS or HUB to an external network, includ-

ing other shipboard LAN.

Do not install 3rd party programs in the ECDIS

Programs installed via an external network can carry viruses that can cause the ECDIS to mal-

function. Do not install any Windows

Notes

1. The gyrocompass must be type approved for compliance with IMO resolution A.424(XI) (and/

or resolution A.821(19) for installation on HSC). The gyrocompass must also have an update

rate that is adequate for the ship’s rate of turn. The update rate must be better than 40 Hz

(HSC) or 20 Hz (conventional vessel).

2. The EPFS must be type approved for compliance with IMO resolution MSC.96(72).

3. These monitors have been approved by the IMO, MU-190 for CAT 2C and CAT 2HC, MU-231

for CAT 1C and CAT 1HC. If a different monitor is to be used on IMO vessels, its effective

diameter must meet the applicable Category requirements:

• CAT 1C and CAT 1HC: effective diameter 320 mm or higher

• CAT 2C and CAT 2HC: effective diameter 250 mm or higher

For installation, operation and viewing distance of other monitor, see its manuals.

For BB type, a monitor unit is prepared by user.

4. The sensor adapters are Control Serial MC-3000S, Analog IN MC-3010A, Digital IN

MC-3020D and Digital OUT MC-3030D.

5. Characteristics of contact output for Alarm:

• (Load current) 250 mA

• (Polarity) Normally Open: 2 ports, Normally Close: 2 ports

• Serial I/O for alarm is also possible, which complies with IEC 61162-1.

6. Junction boxes are required for antenna cable length greater than 100 m. Max. cable length

is 400 m.

1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

1.1 Units of the System

1.1.1 Radar Control Unit RCU-025

The Radar Control Unit RCU-025 consists of various controls and a trackball module

(trackball, scrollwheel and left and right buttons). The trackball module functions like

a PC mouse. The user rolls the trackball and operates the left and right buttons and

the scrollwheel to do various functions.

When you press the correct key, a single beep sounds to alert you to correct opera-

tion. For wrong operation, several beeps sound. You can select the loudness of the

beep or deactivate the beep on the [Customize] menu.

No. Control Description

1 Turns the system on or off. (With a FURUNO monitor unit, the monitor is

also turned on or off with this switch.)

2 Status LED The color and state of the LED change according to system or alert status.

Green, lighting: Normal operation status; no alerts generated.

Green, flashing: The heater on the CPU board is on, because ambient

temperature is not at least 0°C. The heater takes about two minutes to

warm the equipment. The LED lights green after the heater goes off.

Red, lighting: Acknowledged alert or SYSTEM FAIL. SYSTEM FAIL oc-

curs when there is trouble in the Processor Unit or communication failure

between the Processor Unit and a Control Unit. Each Control Unit detects

trouble and its lamp flashes in red and the buzzer sounds. If this condition

occurs at the No. 1 Control Unit, the SYSTEM FAIL signal is output.

Red, flashing: Unacknowledged alert or SYSTEM FAIL.
