SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Be sure to insert the memory card battery correctly.

The battery may explode if it is installed with polarity reversed.

NOTICE

No one navigational aid should be relied upon exclusively for the safety of vessel and crew. The navigator has the responsibility to check all aids available to confirm his position. Electronic aids are not a substitute for basic navigational principles and common sense.

Digital charts cannot replace official nautical charts

Digital charts are intended as an navigational aid. Therefore, position should always be checked against nautical charts, as well as other aids to navigation.

Handle chart/memory cards carefully

The chart and memory cards are weak against electrostatic discharge. Handle them with care, observing the following guidelines.

- Keep cards away from heat sources.

- Replace cards in their protective cases after use.

Replace memory card battery within 10 minutes of removal.

Replace the memory card battery within 10 minutes of removal to prevent loss of data.

The main features are

•

Chart overlay on radar display

•

Head-up display for chart card data

•

Memory cards for unlimited storage of data

•

Memory cards useable together with chart cards

•

Radar position correction

•

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

1.1 Introduction

The Video Plotter RP-180 is an optional circuit board (RP board) which is accommodated in the display unit of the FR-1500 MK3 series radar. It permits use of two memory cards, a memory card (RAM card) for storing own ship and other ship tracks and marks, and the other is a chart card (ROM card) for digital charts.

With connection of an AIS (Universal Automatic Identification System) transponder to the RP board, the RP-180 provides navigation data about vessels which carry an AIS transponder.

10 navigation lines may be stored and each line may contain up to 30 waypoints. 100 waypoints are available. The user may enter position data in waypoints 01-98. (Waypoint 00 is for own ship position when destination is set; waypoint 99 is for waypoint from external equipment.) Own ship and other ship tracks may be stored at a selected interval.

Charts are superimposed on the radar picture without disturbing the radar observation. The chart area is dependent on the radar range in use. The RP-180 comes in two versions according to chart to be used: FURUNO/NAVIONICS and FURUNO/C-MAP.

1.4 Choosing Presentation Mode

Five presentation modes are available by the [MODE] key: head-up, head-up true bearing, course-up, north-up, and true-motion. (North-up, head-up true bearing, course-up and true motion require a heading signal. TM mode additionally requires a speed signal.) Each time the key is pressed, if heading is input to the radar, the display and the display mode indication at the top left corner of the display change in the sequence of HU, HU TB, CU, NU and TM. If there is no heading signal input, the display mode is always HU.

1.5 Shifting the Display

1.5.1 Shifting by the trackball

The display can be shifted by the trackball up to 75% of the range in use in any direction. Operate the trackball to shift the display, and the display shifts in the direction the trackball is operated. When the cursor reaches an edge of the display, the pictures shifts in the opposite direction.

1.5.2 Offcenter

Own ship position, or sweep origin, can be displaced to expand the view field without switching to a larger range scale. The sweep origin can be offcentered to a point specified by the cursor, up to 75% (50% in the true motion mode) of the range in use in any direction.

This feature is not available on the 72 nm range or higher.

To offcenter the radar picture:

1. Place the cursor at a position where you wish to move the sweep origin by operating the trackball.

2. Press the [SHIFT/ZOOM] key momentarily. Then, the sweep origin is offcentered to the cursor position. However, the heading line is left in the same position.

3. To cancel offcentering, press the [SHIFT/ZOOM] key again.

1.5.3 Zoom

Zoom enlarges an area of interest as large as twice the normal viewing. This feature is available on the IMO-type radar only.

1. Place the cursor (+) close to the point of interest by operating the trackball.

2. Press and hold down the [SHIFT/ZOOM] key for about two seconds. The area around the cursor and own ship is enlarged twice as large as the original size.

3. To cancel zoom, press and hold down the [SHIFT/ZOOM] key about two seconds.

Note: The zoom feature is inoperative when the display is off centered.

2.3.1 Position correction

There may be some instances where the chart is not overlaid on the radar picture correctly. You can compensate for this error by applying an offset to chart position.

Note 1: A gyrocompass is required to get accurate correction. Note 2: The radar display and coastline data use different calculation methods, thus they

do not agree. Error is most prevalent in high longitudes.

3.2 Stopping Plotting of Own Ship’s Track

When your ship is at anchor or returning to port you probably will not need to plot (record) the track. You can stop plotting the track, to conserve the track memory, by actuating the “HOLD” function. The track is neither plotted nor saved, thereby conserving the track memory.

3.2.1 Stopping track plotting

1. Press [MENU], [1], [1], [7], [7] to display the Plot Interval menu.

2. Press the [6] key to choose No from the Save Own Track field.

3. Press the [ENTER/SELECT] key. The HOLD icon ( screen. (Video Plotter display only.)

3. TRACK

3.3 Changing Own Ship’s Plot Interval

The plot interval determines both how the track will be reconstructed on the display and the track storage time.

3.3.1 How the track is drawn

The “quality” of the track displayed largely depends on the plot interval setting, smoothing rate, etc.

In drawing the track, first the ship’s position fed from the navigation aid is stored into the radar’s memory at an interval of time or distance selected by the operator. This interval of time or distance is called the “Plot Interval” and it is selected considering the ship’s speed, the chart scale, etc. If a shorter interval is selected, a reconstructed course line is provided with better accuracy, but total storage time of the track is reduced.

Obviously there is a trade off between smooth reconstruction of the track and plot storage time: The shorter the interval the smoother the reconstruction but storage time is reduced. The following figure compares plot interval and track reconstruction.

: Actual track : Displayed track

(a) Small plotting interval (b) Large plotting interval

Plotting interval and

how track is plotted

3.3.2 Plot interval by time or distance

The plot interval can be selected by “Time” or “Distance”. “Distance” is useful when the ship is anchored, since track is not plotted while the vessel is stationary.

3.3.3 Setting plot interval

1. Press [MENU], [1], [1], [7], [7] to display the Plot Interval menu.

2. Press the [3] key to choose Time or Dist from the Plot Mode field.

3. Press the [ENTER/SELECT] key.

4. Press the [4] key if you selected Time at step 2; [5] key if you selected Dist.

3.4 Other Ship’s Tracks and Plotting Interval

The tracks of up to 20 ships may be displayed when the Auto Tracking Aid ARP-17 is interfaced with the radar.

The plotting interval for other ships tracks can be set independently of that for own ship.

Also, plotting of other ships tracks may be suspended to conserve track memory.

1. Press [MENU], [1], [1], [7], [7] to display the Plot Interval menu.
