Procedure

Press the RANGE key at + or –. The range, range ring interval appears at the top left corner of the display.

Stand-by

When you won’t be using the display monitor for an extended period, but you want to keep it in a state of readiness, place it in stand-by by pressing the ST BY/TX key . The display shows ST-BY .

Video lockup recovery

Video lockup or picture freeze, can occur unexpectedly on digital rasterscan radars. This is mainly caused by heavy spike noise in the power line, and can be noticed by carefully watching the nearly invisible sweep line. If you suspect that the picture is not updated every scan of the antenna or no key entry is accepted notwithstanding the apparently normal picture, turn the power off and on.

1.4 Presentation Mode

Loss of gyro signal

When the gyro signal is lost, the presentation mode automatically becomes Head-up and the HDG readout at the screen top shows xxx.x. The x's do not disappear even when the gyro signal is restored, to warn the operator that the readout may be unreliable. Match the gyro readout with the gyrocompass reading. Press the MODE key.

This display monitor has the following presentation modes:

Relative Motion (RM) Head-up: Unstabilized

Course-up: Compass-stabilized relative to

ship’ s intended course

North-up: Compass-stabilized with

reference to north

True Motion (TM)

Selecting presentation mode

Each time the MODE key is pressed, the presentation mode and mode indication at the upperleft corner of the screen change cyclically.

The target pips are painted at their measured distances and in their directions relative to own ship's heading.

The short dashed line on the bearing scale is the north mark and it indicates compass north.

Failure of the gyro will remove the north marker and the HDG indication shows "xxx.x".

An azimuth stabilized display in which a line connecting the center with the top of the display indicates own ship's intended course (namely, own ship's previous heading just before this mode has been selected).

Target pips are painted at their measured distances and in their directions relative to the intended course which is maintained at the 0-degree position while the heading marker moves in accordance with the ship's yawing and course changes. This mode is useful to avoid smearing of picture during course changes. After a course change, press the SHIFT ZOOM key to reset the picture orientation if you wish to continue using the Course-up mode.

If the gyrocompass fails, the presentation mode changes to the Head-up mode and the north marker disappears. Also, the HDG readout at the screen top shows xxx.x.

Target pips are painted at their measured distances and in their true (compass) directions with reference to own ship, north being maintained at the top of the screen. The heading marker moves according to ship's heading.

If the gyro fails, the presentation mode changes to the Head-up mode and the north mark disappears. Also, the HDG readout at the screen top shows xxx.x.

Own ship and other moving objects move in accordance with their true courses and speeds. All fixed targets, such as landmasses, appear as stationary echoes.

When own ship reaches a point corresponding to 75% of the radius of the radar display, the sweep origin is automatically flipped (reset) to 50% radius opposite to the extension of the heading marker passing through the display center.

Sweep origin may also be reset automatically, in which case the sweep origin is automatically reset to 50% radius opposite on the extension of the heading marker passing through the display center.

If the gyrocompass fails, the presentation mode is changed to the Head-up mode and the north marker disappears. Also, the HDG readout at the screen top shows xxx.x.

1.6 Adjusting Sensitivity

BRILL1

The GAIN control adjusts the sensitivity of the receiver and thus the intensity of echoes as they appear on the screen.

The proper setting is such that the background noise is just visible on the screen. If you set up for too little sensitivity, weak echoes may be missed. On the other hand excessive sensitivity yields too much background noise; strong targets may be missed because of the poor contrast between desired echoes and the background noise on the display.

To adjust receiver sensitivity, transmit on long range, and adjust the GAIN control so background noise is just visible on the screen.

1.10 Suppressing Sea Clutter

In rough weather conditions returns from the sea surface are received over several miles around own ship and mask nearby targets. This situation can be improved by properly using the automatic anti-clutter function and/or the A/C SEA control.

Automatic anti-clutter control

The easiest way to suppress the surface clutter is to use the automatic anti-clutter function. Press the A/C AUTO switch.

A common mistake is too over-adjust the A/C SEA control so that the surface clutter is completely removed. By rotating the control fully clockwise, you will see how dangerous this can be; a dark zone will be created near the center of the screen, causing a loss of close-in targets. This dark zone is even more dangerous if the gain has not been properly adjusted. Always leave a little surface clutter visible on the screen. If no clutter is observed (on very calm waters), set the control at the fully counterclockwise position.

1.11 Suppressing Rain Clutter

CAUTION

The auto A/C function can erase weak targets.

Manual anti-clutter control

From the fully counterclockwise position, slowly turn the A/C SEA control clockwise. For optimum target detection, leaves speckles of the surface return slightly visible.

Sea clutter at display center

A/C SEA control adjusted;

sea clutter suppressed

In adverse weather conditions, clouds, rain or snow produce a lot of spray-like spurious echoes and impairs target detection over a long distance. This situation can be improved by using a Function key that is so programmed. If the Function key fails to effectively suppress rain clutter, use the A/C RAIN control.

The A/C RAIN control adjusts the monitor sensitivity as the A/C SEA control does but rather in a longer time period (longer range). Clockwise rotation of this control increases the anti-clutter effect.

Appearance of rain clutter on the display

A/C RAIN control adjusted;

rain clutter suppressed

Figure 1-8 Effect of A/C SEA control

The anti-clutter sea facility is often referred to as STC (Sensitivity Time Control), which decreases the sensitivity, and progressively increases the sensitivity as the range increases.

If the control is set too low, tar gets will be hidden in the clutter, while if it is set too high, both sea clutter and targets will disappear from the display. In most cases adjust the control until clutter has disappeared to leeward, but a little is still visible windward.

1.12 The Heading and North Markers

The heading marker indicates the ship's heading in all presentation modes. It appears at zero degrees on the bearing scale in the Head-up mode, in any direction depending on the ship orientation in North-up and True Motion modes. The north marker appears as a short dashed line. In the Head-up mode, the north marker moves around the bearing scale in accordance with the compass signal.

T o temporarily extinguish the heading marker to look at targets existing dead ahead of own ship, press the HM OFF (PUSH) control. The heading marker reappears when the key is released.

1.13 Measuring the Range

There are three ways to measure the range to a target: by the range rings, by the cursor and by the VRM (Variable Range Marker).

Measuring range by the range rings

Use the range rings to obtain a rough estimate of the range to a target. They are concentric circles around own ship, or the sweep origin. The number of rings is automatically determined by the selected range scale and their interval is displayed at the upper-left position of the screen. Press the RINGS (PUSH) control to show the range rings if they are not displayed. Successive presses of the RINGS (PUSH) control gradually increase the brightness of the rings in four steps and a fifth press erases the rings.

The watch alarm works like an alarm clock, sounding an aural alarm and blinking a visual indication “T ALM” at the predetermined time interval. When the alarm sounds, you can silence it by pressing the AUDIO OFF key.

How to turn on echo averaging

To properly use the echo average feature, first properly suppress sea clutter with the A/C SEA control and then select echo average function as follows;

1) Press the MENU key.

You can select time interval (3 min, 6 min, 12 min, 15 min, or 20 min) on the TIME ALM menu.

1) Press the MENU key.

2) Select the TIME ALM menu.

3) Press the ENTER/SELECT key.

4) Select TIME ALM and press the ENTER/SELECT key .

5) Select time interval (or OFF).

6) Press the ENTER/SELECT key.

7) Press the MENU key.

1.29 Echo Average

The echo average feature effectively suppresses sea clutter and other random noise. Echoes received from stable targets such as ships (if not moving at high speeds) appear on the screen at almost the same position every rotation of the antenna. On the other hand, unstable echoes such as sea clutter appear at random positions.

2) Select the ECHO SIG menu.

3) Press the ENTER/SELECT key.

4) Select ECHO AVG and press the ENTER/SELECT key .

5) Select 1, 2, or 3.

1: Distinguishes targets from sea clutter and

suppresses brilliance of unstable echoes.

2: Distinguishes small stationary targets such

as navigation buoys.

3: Displays distant targets as stable echoes.

6) Press the ENTER/SELECT key.

7) Press the MENU key.

a) Echo average OFF b) Echo average 1

To distinguish real tar get echoes from sea clutter, this radar performs scan-to-scan correlation. Correlation is made by storing and averaging echo signals over successive picture frames. If an echo is solid and stable, it is shown in its normal intensity. Sea clutter is averaged over successive scans and reduced in brightness. This makes it easier to discriminate real targets from sea clutter.

Figure 1-25 Echo average

CAUTION

Do not use the Echo Average feature under heavy pitching or rolling; loss of true targets can result.

1–23

Page 34

Echo averaging uses scan-to-scan signal correla-

tion technique based on the true motion over the ground of each target. Thus, small stationary tar gets such as buoys will be shown while suppressing random echoes such as sea clutter . T rue echo average is not however effective for picking up small targets running at high speeds over the ground.

The echo average feature is inoperable when a heading signal is not available. If you wish to use this feature without a heading signal, system initialization is required. (Consult a FURUNO representative or dealer.)

Note: Echo averaging also requires ship's speed

information from a log or manual entry.

1.31 Echo Stretch

On long ranges target echoes tend to shrink in the bearing direction, making them difficult to see. On short and medium ranges such as 1.5, 3 and 6 nm range scales, the same sized targets get smaller on screen as they approach own ship. These are due to the inherent property of the radiation pattern produced by the antenna. To enhance target video, use the echo stretch feature.

Enlarged in range direction by ES 2

Enlarged by ES 1

1.30 Suppressing Second-Trace Echoes

In certain situations, echoes from very distant targets may appear as false echoes (second-track echoes) on the screen. This occurs when the return echo is received one transmission cycle later, namely, after a next radar pulse has been transmitted.

To suppress them, turn on 2ND ECHO on the ECHO SIG menu.

1) Press the MENU key.

2) Select the ECHO SIG menu.

3) Press the ENTER/SELECT key.

4) Select 2ND ECHO and press the ENTER/SELECT key.

5) Select ON.

6) Press the ENTER/SELECT key.

7) Press the MENU key.

If a target becomes

smaller as it approaches

own ship, use ES 1.

ECHO STRETCH 1 For stretching echoes near own ship

If a distant target

is hard to see,

use ES 2.

ECHO STRETCH 2 For stretching echoes nea perimeter of CRT

Figure 1-26 Echo stretch

1) Press the MENU key.

2) Select the ECHO SIG menu and press the ENTER/SELECT key.

3) Select STRETCH and press the ENTER/SELECT key .

4) Select 1 2, or OFF.

5) Press the ENTER/SELECT key followed by the MENU key.

Note 1: Echo stretch magnifies not only small

target pips but also returns from sea surface, rain and radar interference. For this reason, make sure that these types of interference have been sufficiently suppressed before activating the echo stretch feature.

1–24

Note 2: If the 1.5 nm range is preset for

pulselength SP (0.08 µs) or M2 (0.3 µs), and the 3 nm scale for M1 (0.3 µs), the echo stretch feature is not available on these range scales.

Page 35

Note 3: Suppress sea clutter and noise before

activating echo stretch, since the echo stretch circuit stretches not only target echoes but also sea clutter and noise.

Note 4: Echo stretch 2 is not available with the

short pulse.

Chapter 2 MAINTENANCE

Periodic checks and maintenance are important for proper operation of any electronic systems. This chapter contains maintenance instructions to be followed to obtain optimum performance and the longest possible life of the equipment.

Danger!-Electrical Shock Hazard

This equipment contains high voltages which can endanger human life at several internal circuits including a cathode ray tube (CRT) which uses several thousands volts. Any internal adjustment, servicing and repair shall only be performed by qualified service personnel totally familiar with electrical circuits and servicing of the equipment. A residual charge remains in capacitors and other devices several minutes after turning off the power. It is therefore essential to wait at least 3 minutes to allow residual charge to subside before accessing the inside of the equipment. Special care must be taken when approaching the following parts:

• Power supply circuit (Display unit)

• CRT circuit (Display unit)

Installation

DANGER

This equipment uses high voltage electricity which can shock, burn or cause death.

Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment.

3.1 Mounting the Display Unit

Siting considerations

• The display unit should be oriented so that you can view the screen while facing towards the bow . This will make determination of your position easier.

• The mounting location must be strong enough to support the display unit under vibration conditions normally encountered on the vessel. If necessary reinforce the mounting location.

• Determine the mounting location considering the length of the signal cable, which connects between the main radar and this display unit.

• Make sure you allow enough clearance to get to the connectors behind the unit. Leave at least a foot or so of “service loop” in cables so that it can be pulled forward for servicing or easy removal of the connectors.

• The display unit can be mounted on a tabletop, a bulkhead or on the overhead. Install it where it can be viewed and operated conveniently, but where it is protected from being sprayed or immersed in salt or fresh water.

• Observe the following display unit compass safe distances to prevent deviation of the magnetic compass;
