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 2.22 Automatic Picture Setup According to Navigation Purpose.

Signal processing function Description Section

Interference rejector

Echo stretch

Echo averaging

Noise rejector

Suppress interference transmitted by other radars. Interference received simultaneously from many radars can be difficult to reduce.

Enlarge target echoes, especially small echoes. Suppress interference, sea clutter and rain clutter before using echo stretch, to prevent the enlargement of unwanted echoes.

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.

Suppress white noise and increase the S/N ratio to improve picture clarity.

Longitude Error Table (on 96 nm range scale)

The longitude lines concentrate on the north pole and south pole, namely, 1 nm is equivalent to 1 minute at 0 degree latitude, 2 minutes at 60 degrees latitude, 3 minutes at 70 degrees latitude and so on. For this reason, a longitude error occurs on the radar display. For example, when own ship is at 60°N and 135°E, even if the cursor indication is 62°N and 139°E, the real cursor position is deviated to the left (west) side. The table below shows the longitude error, represented from 0° to 90° at 96 nm from the radar center (own ship).

1. Operational Overview

1.1.2 Chart processor unit

The chart processor unit is responsible for the loading, storing, updating and processing of electronic sea charts, with the DVD-ROM drive or floppy disk drive. The DVD-ROM and floppy disk drives are behind the lid on the front panel.

Note: Do not operate the ECDIS with a media (FD/CD/DVD) inserted in its drive, to prevent damage

DVD-ROM drive

Floppy dIsk drive

to the drive and media. Remove media from its drive after usage. Insert media only to do operations such as backing up data, updating charts, and the like. After completion, remove the media from its drive and store it in its case, BEFORE using the ECDIS. Store media out of direct sunlight, in a place where temperature and humidity are moderate and stable.

1.2 How to Turn the Power On/Off

Normally, leave the power switch at the rear of the chart processor on and control power on/off with the POWER key on a control unit. Note that the display unit is powered independently.

After power is applied, the Windows program starts up and about one minute later the bearing scale appears. The radar then goes into three minutes of warm-up time to warm the magnetron, which transmits radar pulses. The timer counts the time remaining for warm-up. 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, neither TT nor AIS is active.

If the power is reapplied after the equipment was in the ECDIS mode, Windows starts up and about two minutes later the ECDIS display appears.

Parameters set on the menus are stored in a non-volatile memory (hard disk) and are preserved when the power is turned off.

Note: If the ambient temperature is less than 0°C (32°F) when the power is applied, nothing appears on the display. This is because the heater is warming the chart processor unit. The display appears in approx. 10 minutes.

Transmitter 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 can transmit by pushing 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. The label at the left-hand side of the guidance area at the bottom right corner of the screen changes from TX to STBY.

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.

TX STBY

TX STBY box

STBY

Guidance box

The STBY/TX key (or TX STBY box) toggles the radar between STBY and TRANSMIT state. 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.

1. Operational Overview

Picture freeze

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

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.

About on-screen boxes and indications

The on-screen boxes, like the TX STBY box, provide for adjustment of the item that appears on their labels. Some indications also function to provide adjustment of a specific function. When you put the cursor inside a box or on an indication, the color of the label in the box or the indication changes (example: yellow to green). This indicates that the box or indication is correctly selected. Then, you can change setting by pushing the left button.

1.3 Monitor Brilliance

The brilliance of the entire screen should be adjusted according to lighting conditions. Monitor brilliance should be adjusted before adjusting relative brilliance levels on the BRILL menu.

Note: The brilliance of a commercial monitor cannot be adjusted from the radar. See the owner’s manual of the commercial monitor for how to adjust its brilliance.

How to adjust brilliance with the keyboard-equipped control unit

Operate the BRILL control to adjust brilliance. Turn it clockwise to increase brilliance; counterclockwise to decrease brilliance. Watch the BRILL box (see illustration below) to know current brilliance level.

How to adjust brilliance with the trackball

1. Use the trackball to place the arrow on the brilliance level indicator in the BRILL box at the bottom left corner of the screen.

Brilliance level

Put arrow inside box to adjust screen brilliance.

BRILL 1

BRILL box

2. Spin the scrollwheel downward to increase brilliance or spin it upward to decrease brilliance. The length of the brilliance bar increases or decreases with operation of the scrollwheel.

Note: If nothing appears on the screen at power-up when using Control Unit RCU-015 (palm control) or when the radar is in stand-by, push and hold down any key except the power switch for four seconds to automatically set up for medium display brilliance.
