SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 technician.

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.

WARNING

Do not operate the equipment with wet hands.

Electrical shock can result.

Keep objects away from the opentype 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.

Do not place liquid-filled containers on or near the equipment.

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

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

CAUTIO

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)

Warning Label(s)

Warning label(s) is(are) attached to the equipment. Do not remove the label(s). If a label is missing or damaged, contact a FURUNO agent or dealer about replacement.

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 preset feature.

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.

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

press 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. Targets that

show a large change with each scan are judged as clutter and are reduced to display only echoes from legitimate targets.

Noise rejector Suppress white noise and increase the S/N ratio to im-

prove picture clarity.

trackball module), ECDIS Control Unit RCU-024 (alphabet keyboard, controls, trackball module) and Trackball Control Unit RCU-026 (trackball module only). Unless noted otherwise, “Control 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.

• 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”.

Virus Prevention

The ECDIS is not equipped with a virus checker. The ECDIS operates in real time; therefore, 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 instructions 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 existing 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 introduction of a virus to the LAN, DO NOT connect the ECDIS or HUB to an external network, including 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

software.

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.

The RCU-025 has 28 direct access keys, five knob-type controls, two rotary encoders, a power switch, a USB port, and a trackball module. The system can be operated with the keys and controls or with the trackball module.

Rotary encoder for EBL

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 tem-

perature 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 occurs when there is trouble in the Processor Unit or communication failure between the Processor Unit and an ECDIS 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 ECDIS Control Unit, the SYSTEM FAIL signal is output. Red, flashing: Unacknowledged alert or SYSTEM FAIL.

1.1.3 Processor Unit EC-3000

The Processor Unit is the heart of the chart system, and is mainly responsible for the chart management, route planning and route navigation.

The Processor Unit has two power switches. The Mains switch controls the power from the switchboard, and the Power switch controls the power to the chart radar system.

1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

DVD drive

Mains switch

Note 1: Do not operate the chart radar with a DVD or CD inserted in the DVD drive, to prevent damage to the drive and media. Remove media from the drive after usage. Insert media only to update charts. After completion of an update, remove the media from its drive and store it in its case. Store media out of direct sunlight, in a place where temperature and humidity are moderate and stable

Note 2: To keep the system stable, restart the unit at least once every two weeks.

Note 3: Close the lid of the DVD drive when the drive is not in use.

Power switch

1.2 How to Turn the System On/Off

Normally, leave the power switches at the front of the Processor Unit on and control the power with the power switch on a Control Unit (RCU-025, RCU-026). The monitor unit is powered independently.

How to power the system

Push the mains switch on the Processor Unit for the "I" position. Turn on the power switch on the Processor Unit or a Control Unit. The start-up display appears on the monitor.

After the power is applied, the 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 at the center of the screen counts the time remaining for warm-up. When the timer shows 0:00, the indication "ST-BY" appears at the screen center. The radar is now ready to transmit radar pulses. In the stand-by condition, no radar pulses are transmitted and TT nor AIS is active.

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

1-5

1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

Note: If the ambient temperature is less than 0°C (32°F) when the power is applied, nothing appears on the display and the Status LED on the Control Unit flashes. This is because the heater is warming the unit. The display appears in approx. two minutes.

How to power off the system

Press the power switch on the Processor Unit or a Control Unit. Push the Mains switch for the "O" position.

Note: Provided that the radar was once in use with the transmitter tube (magnetron) still warm, you can put the radar in transmit state 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.

1.3 How to Adjust the Display Brilliance (FURUNO monitor)

The brilliance setting is defined according to the color palette setting. However, manual adjustment of the brilliance is also possible.

Note 1: The brilliance of the FURUNO monitor can only be adjusted from the Control Unit. Use a serial cable for brilliance adjustment to make the connection between the Processor Unit and the Control Unit.

Note 2: Improper brilliance may affect the visibility of information, especially on the night display.

1.3.1 Manual brilliance adjustment

How to adjust the brilliance manually with the BRILL control

Operate the BRILL control to adjust brilliance. Turn it clockwise to increase the brilliance; counterclockwise to decrease the brilliance. Watch the brilliance level indication on the [BRILL] button (see the illustration below) to see the current brilliance level.

How to adjust the brilliance manually with the InstantAccess knob

1. Push the InstantAccess knob.

2. Rotate the knob to select the [BRILL] button then push the knob to show the bril-

liance adjustment window.
