Cautions to be Used During Operation

●

WARNING

Do not touch the insides of the scanner, transceiver and dis-

play unit.

Touching any high voltage area, you will get an electric shock. For maintenance,

inspection and adjustment of internal parts of these equipment, consult with our sales

office or distributor in your district.

Since the scanner radiator rotates, do not approach it.

The scanner may start rotating suddenly, and consequently any person may be struck

and be injured. We recommend you to install the scanner radiator on the roof of the

wheel house, flying bridge, trestle, radar mast or any other high position so that no

person can approach it. When servicing the scanner, set the scanner safety button to

the OFF position.

Install the scanner at any place higher than any person.

If being exposed directly to electric wave at close range, you may suffer adverse

influence.

When approaching the antenna for maintenance or inspec-

tion, set the power button of the display unit to the ST-BY

position.

If being exposed directly to electric wave at close range, you may suffer adverse

influence.

CAUTION

Use these radar only as assisting devices for navigation.

Also, the officer should make the final decision for maneu-

vering by himself.

Use ATA only as an assisting device for navigation.

Also, the officer should make the final decision for maneu-

vering by himself.

ATA's information such as vector, target value data, alarm, etc. may contain some

errors. Also, targets which cannot be detected with these radar cannot be tracked at

their acquisition points.

PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATION

◆◆◆◆

Cautions for high voltage

High voltages from hundreds volts to tens of thousands volts are to be applied to the electronic

equipment such radio and radar devices. You do not face any danger during normal operation, but

sufficient cares are required for maintenance, inspection and adjustment of their internal components.

(Authorized maintenance personnel alone are permitted to implement maintenance, check-ups or

adjustment of internal components.)

High voltages of tens of thousands volts are so dangerous as to bring an instantaneous death from

electric shock, but even voltages of hundreds volts may sometimes lead to a death from electric

shock. To prevent such an accident, make it a rule to turn off the power button, discharge capacitors

with a wire surely earthed on an end and make sure that internal parts are no longer charged before

you touch any parts inside these devices. At the time, wearing dry cotton gloves ensures you further

to prevent such danger. It is also a necessary caution to put one of your hands in the pocket and not

to use your both hands at the same time.

It is also important to select a stable foothold always to prevent additional injuries once you were

shocked by electricity. If you were injured from electric shock, disinfect the burn sufficiently and get

it taken care of promptly.

What to do in case of electric shock

When finding a victim of electric shock, turn off the power source and earth the circuit immediately.

If it is impossible to turn off the circuit, move the victim away promptly using insulators such as dry

wood plate and cloth without touching the victim directly.

In case of electric shock, breathing may stop suddenly if current flows to the respiration center in the

brain. If the shock is not so strong, artificial respiration may recover breathing. When shocked by

electricity, the victim will come to look very bad with weak pulse or without beating, resulting in

unconsciousness and rigidity.

CAUTION

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

FIRST AID TREATMENTS

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

✩ First-aid treatments

As far as the victim of electric shock is not in dangerous condition, do not move him and practice

artificial respiration on him immediately. Once started, it should be continued rhythmically.

(1) Do not touch the victim confusedly as a result of the accident, but the rescuer may also get an

electric shock.

(2) Turn off the power source calmly and certainly and move the victim away quietly from the

electric line.

(3) Call a physician or ambulance immediately or ask someone to call a doctor.

(4) Lay the victim on his back and loosen his necktie, clothes, belt, etc.

(5) a. Examine the victim’s pulse.

b. Examine his heartbeat bringing your ear close to his heart.

c. Examine his breathing bringing the back of your hand or your face close to his face.

d. Check the size of the pupils of his eyes.

(6) Open the victim’s mouth and take out artificial teeth, cigarette or chewing gum if any. Keep his

mouth open, stretch his tongue and insert a towel or the like in his mouth to prevent the tongue

from suffocating. (If it is hard to open his mouth due to set teeth, open it with a screwdriver and

insert a towel in this mouth.)

(7) Then, close his mouth so that foaming mucus does not accumulate inside.

Page 7

✩ When pulse is beating but breathing has stopped

(1) Tilt the victim’s head back as far as this face looks back. (A pillow may be inserted under his neck.)

(2) Push his jaw upward to open his throat wide (to spread his airway).

(3) Pinch the victim’s nostrils and take a deep breath, block his mouth completely with yours and

blow into his mouth strongly. Take a deep breath again and blow into his mouth. Continue this

10 to 15 times a minute (blocking his nostrils).

(4) Carefully watch that he has recovered his natural breathing and stop practicing artificial respiration.

(5) If it is difficult to open the victim’s mouth, insert a rubber or vinyl tube into one of his nostrils

and blow into it blocking the other nostril and his mouth completely.

(6) When the victim recovers consciousness, he may try to stand up suddenly, but let him lie calmly

and serve him with a cup of hot coffee or tea to keep him warm and quiet. (Never give him

alcoholic drinks.)

Method of mouth-to-mouth respiration by raising head

Mouth-to-mouth respiration

Raise the victim’s head. Support his

forehead with one of your hand and his neck with the other hand. → q

When you tilt his head backward, the

victim, in most cases, opens his mouth to

the air. This makes mouth-to-mouth

respiration easy.

Cover his mouth as widely as possible

with yours and press your cheek against his nose → w , or, pinch his nostrils

with your fingers to prevent air from leaking. → e

Blow into his lungs.

Continue blowing into his mouth until his

breast swells. Blow into his mouth as

quickly as possible for the first 10 times.

Page 8

VII

CAUTION

✩ When both pulse and breathing have stopped

When no pulse has come not to be felt, his pupils are open and no heartbeat is heard, cardiac arrest is

supposed to have occurred and artificial respiration must be performed.

(1) Place your both hands, one hand on the other, on the lower one third area of his breastbone and

compress his breast with your elbows applying your weight on his breast so that it is dented

about 2cm (repeat compressing his breast 50 times or so a minute). (Cardiac massage)

(2) In case of one rescuer,

Repeat cardiac massages about 15 times and blow into his mouth 2 times quickly, and repeat this

combination.

In case of two rescuers,

One person repeats cardiac massages 5 times while the other person blows into his mouth once,

and they shall repeat this combination. (Cardiac massage and mouth-to-mouth respiration)

(3) Examine his pupils and his pulse sometimes. When the both have returned to normal, stop the

artificial respiration, serve him with a cup of coffee or tea and keep him warm and calm while

watching him carefully. Commit the victim to a medial specialist depending on his condition.

To let him recover from the mental shock, it is necessary for persons concerned to understand his

situations and the necessary treatments.

GENERAL AND

EQUIPMENT

COMPOSITION

Page 22

1 – 1

This equipment is a high performance, high quality, highly reliable and totally-large-scale-integrated

(excluding special electronic tubes) radar composed of a scanner, a transceiver and a display unit with a high

resolution color CRT which adopts the raster scan method.

1.1.1 Functions of This Equipment

1.1.1.1 Functions of Radar

The JMA-7700 series color radar is designed in accordance with IMO (International Maritime Organization)

specifications based on international standards. The major functions include target detecting color display,

sea, rain or snow clutter restraint, sensitivity adjustment, interference rejection, distance and bearing

measurement using a trackball, fixed and variable distance markers and an electronic cursor as well as

Standard equipment ATA (manual and automatic target acquisition and vector, tracking and warning display),

a plotter (own ship tracking and coastal line display) and an optional simple plotter (make and line display as

well as target and course setting).

1.1.1.2 Functions of ATA (Option)

This system, on which a radar is used as a sensor, can be outlined as follows by function:

[I] First Stage : Target Detection from Radar Information

This work corresponds to plotting targets by hand on the radar screen. Assume that a ship is

approaching the own ship. You can catch the ship on the radar. Signals from the ship are processed

with the data processor and are transferred to the computer as signals of bearing and range related to

the own ship. In this stage, the system has the functions to quantize radar information, to reject

noises, to eliminate any information other than ship information and to transfer necessary position

data of ships to the computer.

[II] Second Stage : Target Tracking

Targets are plotted at intervals of 3 or 6 minutes with the radar, but tracking on this system is to plot

them electrically at intervals of fixed times. This means to compare target position data to be detected

every moment with those detected previously so as to check if they are of the same target and also to

save data of the target in its file so as to calculate changes of position data of the target.

[III] Third Stage : Judgement of Existence of Ship in Danger of Collision

In this stage, the system calculates speeds and courses of a target ship from ever-changing position

data of the target ship obtained in the previous stage so as to judge existence of any danger of collision.

After the calculation, the system can easily calculate the closes point of approach to the own ship

(CPA = Closest Point of Approach) and the time required to reach the CPA (TCPA = Time to CPA).

Both the CPA and the TCPA are compared with the value previously set according to the situations

of the own ship so as to judge existence of any danger of collision.

1.1 Functions

Page 23

1 – 2

1.1

[IV] Fourth Stage : Indication

The above information must be informed to the officer maneuvering the own ship. A variety of

indicating methods are available including cathode ray tube and numerical indicator, and various

data are available.

This system indicates unprocessed video, vectors (to be selected from true vector and relative vector)

of other ships and identification marks of danger ship or safe ship for these ships on the usual radar

scope. When the target ship is a danger one, the system will sound an alarm and turns on the alarm

lamp to alert the officer.

Page 24

1 – 3

Large, high resolution, easily visible diaplay

Thanks to the built-in high-precision (1024 × 768 pixels), non interlacing 21-inch color CRT, a radar

video area of more than 250 mm is available. High resolution, near range video images can also be

displayed.

Target detection using latest signal processing technology

Unnecessary clutter is eliminated from radar video signals received by the wide dynamic range receiver

using the latest digital signal processing technology, improving target detecting performance.

Three (radar, composite and optional plotter) mode display

● In the composite mode, radar video, coastal line and own ship tracks can all be displayed

simultaneously.

● In the plotter mode, marks and lines can be created and displayed as well as destination and

courses set using the optional plotter function.

Up to 20,000 points can be used for own ship tracks, marks, and so forth.

Easy-to-operate key arrangement

The basic radar functions can easily be operated since the system has only with the minumum number

of keys, enabling quick handling even in an emergency. Various other functions are also available

through easy key operation and screen menu selection.

Optional ATA utilizing the latest technologies

The acquiring and tracking functions of the ATA have been improved by adopting the latest radar

signal processing and tracking technologies, achieving stable performance even when tracking objects

in a clutter.

● Up to 30 targets can be acquired and tracked.

● Hazard statuses are identified by sound displayed using colored symbols with different shapes.

● Fine display of other ship tracks (10 ships × 800 points each) and 7-color display.

Enhanced functions for day and night

The hues of all 4 screens (2 each for day and night) can be set, enabling screen colors to be reproduced

according to the operating environment through simple key operation. The screen are very easy to

see since echo videos and various graphics are differentiated by color.

Multiple functions

● Radar trailing

● TM (True Motion) display

● Head-up, north-up, course-up and stabilized course-up display

● Own ship track display

● Guard alarm function

COLLISION AVOIDANCE

Necessity of Collision Avoidance ····························································

Disasters at sea, in particular collisions, have been highlighted as ship’s tonnage and speed as

well as ocean traffic increased.

A collision of a tanker carrying dangerous matter(s) such as crude oil against a ship brings

considerable damages to not only the tanker and the ship but also other ships traveling around,

port facilities, inhabitants along nearby coast, fishery resources, etc.

In recent years, the percentage of collisions to disasters at sea has greatly increased. To cope with

such situations, some measures to prevent ships from collision have been eagerly required and

various equipment have been developed.

Collision Avoidance Problems in Navigation··········································

To avoid collisions of ships has been recognized as one of navigational problems since early

times. This section briefly describes how collision avoidance is positioned among navigational

problems.

The navigation pattern of all vehicles is considered to be a system consisting of some closed

loops irrespective of the media through which vehicles pass, such as air, water, boundary of the

both and cosmic space. This pattern is considered in general to consist of two closed loops. One

loop is for avoidance of collision against other vehicles, and the other is for finding safe and

correct courses to predetermined destinations.

Fig. 1.8 shows the conceptual diagram of navigation pattern of E.W. Anderson. The closed loop

for collision avoidance is shown on the left side while the one for finding correct courses is

shown on the right side.

Concept of Collision Avoidance Measures (Explanatory Notes)

Page 36

1 – 15

1.6

Basic Concept of Collision Avoidance ····················································

Collision avoidance has two aspects: prediction and avoidance of collision. The prediction of

collision is to predict that plural ships come across at a point, and the avoidance is to maneuver

ships so as not to come across at the same point with other ships.

In actual practice of maneuvering ships, however, a closed area should be considered instead of a

single point. This concept is the CPA (Closest Point of Approach). To predict a collision, it is

also necessary to take into account the times that ships take to reach the CPA, and these times are

called the TCPA (Time to CPA), which is used to judge dangers of collision. Fig. 1.9 shows the

chart called “Collision Triangle.”

Fig. 1.9 Collision Triangle

Page 37

1 – 16

1.6

Relative Vector and True Vector·······························································

When collision avoidance is considered from the view point of the two aspects (prediction and

avoidance), the relative vector is necessary for the prediction and the true vector is necessary for

the avoidance to find aspects of other ships.

Fig. 1.10 shows the relations between the relative vector and the true vector.

The meanings of the both vectors are as follows:

The relative vector, first of all, enables us to easily understand the outlines of the CPA and the

TCPA. The merit of this vector is that the user can understand, at a glance, the degree of danger

that all ships shown on the radar scope will collide against each other.

The true vector enables us to easily know speeds and courses of other ships and to find all the

aspects at a glance. In the other words, we can find the traffic situations (such as transverse, out

sailing, parallel running, reverse running, etc.) stipulated in the Provision of Collision at Sea Act.

So, when finding a ship which is going to collide against the own ship, the user can find what rule

is applied and how to maneuver the own ship.

Fig. 1.10 True Vector and Relative Vector

Radar and Collision Avoidance ································································

Radar is still playing an important role for prevention of collision as well as for measuring positions.

A plotter is used to improve functions of radar. This plotter is used to check movements of other

ships by plotting their positions at intervals of 3 or 6 minutes. The plotting enables the user to

know traces of these ships in relation with the own ship and the possibility of collision, or CPA

and TCPA. This method is considered effective but should be executed by person, and the number

of target ships is limited and the execution takes some minutes.

Set Stabilization ·························································································

Sea stabilization gives correct course and speed through the water.

Heading and Speed inputs from gyro compass and a single axis log (or manually set speed)

provide a sea stabilized presentation.

The entire philosophy of Collision Avoidance is based upon knowledge of the heading of other

vessels in close quater situations. Only the sea stabilized presentation displays the heading of

moving targets.

This presentation provides a good display for Collision Avoidance.

For selecting the sea stabilization, see the subsection “8.5.3.1 Setting Own Ship Speed Equipment”.

3.1 Flow of Operation

Page 61

3 – 2

3.1

3.1.1 Turning Power on and Starting the System

Procedures

1. Check that the ship's power is supplied to the system.

2. Press the power switch to turn the power on.

PWR

The warm-up timer appears on the screen.

3. Press

STBY

Radar transmission starts and the scanner unit starts rotating.

"STBY" on the upper left of the screen changes to "TX".

Pressing the

STBY

switch before "STBY" is displayed does not enable radar

transmission.

● Immediately after radar installation, after replacement of the magnetron or if the system has not

been operated for a long time, set the system to the standby mode and leave it as it is for 20 to 30

minutes before setting it to the transmit mode.

● When turning power on after power was once turned off, wait 5 min or more after setting the power

switch to OFF until setting it to ON again.

● Insufficient warming-up may cause sparks inside the magnetron and may make its oscillation unstable.

Start the transmitting mode with the short-pulse range and then go on to the long-pulse range. If the

oscillation becomes unstable during the period, immediately reset the system to the standby mode,

leave it as it is for 5 to 10 minutes and restart the system. Repeat this until the system comes to

oscillate stably.

Attention

CAUTION

The radar may be damaged if the 100 V AC/200 V AC changeover switch on the back of

the indicator is not set in the correct direction according to the ship's power.

Page 62

3.1

3.1.2 Degauss

Procedures

1. Press the

DEGAUSS

key to degauss the screen.

Use this function only when degaussing is necessary due to misalignment of colors, etc. on the

screen.

A sufficient effect can be obtained from one cycle of degaussing. There is no need to perform

successive degaussing.

If it is inevitable to perform successive degaussing, wait at least 30 sec after the degassing key was

once pressed until that key is pressed again.

3.1.3 Tuning

Procedures

1. Press the

RANGE

key to select any range between 6 and 96/120 nautical

miles.

Press the minus (-) side of the

RANGE

key to decrease the range.

Press the plus (+) side of the

RANGE

key to increase the range.

2. Turn the

AUTO

TUNE

control.

Adjust the video for best presentation. If radar display doesn't show a weak target, adjust the control until the turning bar on

the lower left of the screen indicates the maximum.

To use Auto Tuning mode

Procedures

1. Press the

AUTO

TUNE

control.

Select auto tuning mode, "AUTO" appears on the right of the tuning bar.

Exit

2. Press the

AUTO

TUNE

control again.

"AUTO" disapears on the right of the tuning bar, changes to manual mode.

Attention

Page 63

3 – 4

3.1

3.1.4 Observation and Video Adjustment

Procedures

1. Press the

RANGE

key to select the range appropriate for observation.

2. Turn the

GAIN

and

BRILL

controls so that the target is displayed

most clearly.

3.1.5 Data Acquisition and Measurement

For details, see section “3.3 Basic Operation” and chapter “4 Measurement”.

3.1.6 Ending Operation and Stopping the System

To stop transmission

Procedures

Press the

STBY

switch.

This stops radar transmission and scanner unit rotation. "TX" on the upper left of the

screen changes to "STBY".

Keep the system in the standby mode if it is expected to be reset to the transmit mode

soon. This enables the user to select the transmit mode again simply by pressing the

STBY

switch.

To turn off

Procedures

Press the

PWR

switch to turn the system off.

This stops the power to be supplied to the system.

Page 64

3 – 5

3.2.1 Tuning [TUNE]

AUTO

TUNE

This control is used to tune the receiver.

When the tuning does not match, the receiving sensitivity decreases and the operator may miss weak or

distant targets.

For manual tuning, adjust the TUNE control so that the target is displayed most clearly. If radar display

doesn't show radar return, adjust the control until the tuning bar on the lower left of the screen indicates its

maximum right.

Since it takes about ten minutes for the oscillation frequency of the magnetron to stabilize after the transmit

mode has been set, adjust the control again 10 minutes later.

3.2.2 Adjusting Sensitivity [GAIN]

GAIN

This control is used to adjust the receiving sensitivity of the radar. Turning it clockwise increases the

sensitivity and expands the radar picture observation range. Excessive gain, however, increases receiver

noises on the screen and could make target detection more difficult.

When sighting targets densely located on the screen or targets near the own ship, turn the knob

counterclockwise to reduce the sensitivity. If gain is set too low, weak or distant targets could be missed.

3.2.3 Adjusting CRT Brilliance [BRILL]

BRILL

This control is used to adjust the brilliance of the total screen. Turning it clockwise increases the brilliance.

Adjust it to the best condition for you.

3.2 Preparation

Page 65

3 – 6

3.2

3.2.4 Suppressing Sea Clutter [SEA]

AUTO

SEA

This control is used to suppress sea clutter. Although turning it clockwise increases the suppressing effect,

excessive suppressing could miss weak target at short range.

To use Auto Suppressing Sea Clutter mode

Procedures

1. Adjust the

AUTO

SEA

so that the target is displayed most clearly.

2. Press the

AUTO

SEA

control.

Select auto suppressing sea clutter mode, then "STC AUTO" appears on upper right of

the screen. Turn the control again when the target is not displayed most clearly.

Exit

3. Press the

AUTO

SEA

control again.

"STC AUTO" disappears on the upper right of the screen, changes to manual mode.

Note

● Auto suppressing sea clutter mode can not select with auto suppressing rain and snow clutter mode.

Page 66

3 – 7

3.2

3.2.5 Suppressing Rain and Snow Clutter [RAIN]

AUTO

RAIN

This control is used to suppress rain/snow clutter. Although turning it clockwise enables contours of targets

obscured by rain/snow clutter to be seen, excessive suppressing could miss weak targets. It is more effective

for suppressing sea clutter to use this control together with the [SEA] control.

Keep the knob at its leftist position for normal operation.

To use Auto Suppressing Rain and Snow Clutter mode

Procedures

1. Press the

AUTO

RAIN

control.

Select auto suppressing rain and snow clutter mode, and "FTC AUTO" appears on the

upper right of the screen.

Turn the

AUTO

RAIN

control when the target is not displayed most clearly.

Exit

2. Press the

AUTO

RAIN

control again.

"FTC AUTO" disappears on the upper right of the screen, and changes to manual

mode.

Note

● Auto suppressing rain and snow clutter mode can not select with auto suppressing sea clutter mode.

Sea Stabilization

Sea stabilization gives correct course and speed through the water.

Heading and Speed inputs from gyro compass and a single axis log (or manually set speed) provide a sea

stabilized presentation.

The entire philosophy of Collision Avoidance is based upon knowledge of the heading of other vessels in

close quater situations. Only the sea stabilized presentation display the heading of moving targets.

This presentation provides a good display for collision Avoidance.

For the sea stabilization, select "MANUAL", "LOG" or "2AXIS/WT" on subsection “8.5.3.1 Setting Own

Ship Speed Equipment”.

Ground Stabilization

Ground stabilization gives correct course and speed over the ground.

Course Over the Ground (COG) and Speed Over the Ground (SOG) are for information only.

The display can be ground stabilized by input from a position fixing equipment (GPS) or from a dual axis

log.

For the ground stabilization, select "GPS" or "2AXIS/BT" on subsection “8.5.3.1 Setting Own Ship Speed

Equipment”.

Note

● Composite mode (R+P) or optional Protter mode provides a ground stabilized presentation by input

3.3.7 Selecting Presentation Mode [PRESENTATION MODE]

This control switches presentation mode from [Head Up] to [Course Up], [North up] to [Stabilized Course

The current presentation mode is displayed as "HUP", "CUP", "NUP" or "SCUP" on the upper right of the

screen.

AZI

MODE

The presentation mode that can be used vary according to the motion mode. See subsection “3.3.8 Selecting True Motion／Rative Motion Display Modes [TM／RM] [TM RESET]”

"HEAD UP"

The heading line (HL) is always pointed vertically to the top center of the radar display (0 degree on the

bearing scale). Since targets are displayed in the directions relative to the bow, the operator can sight them

on the radar display in the direction he really sees them.

When the own ship traverses, the surrounding targets are rotated at each scan.

"COURSE UP"

Selecting "COURSE UP" places the heading line (HL) on 0 degree on the bearing scale. As in the case of

the NORTH UP, stationary targets remain stable on the radar display and the bearing of the HL changes as

the own ship changes its course. After the own ship course is changed, the new course can be updated by

pressing the switch three more times to select the COURSE UP display or pressing the

OFF

key.

Surrounding targets will not ratate according to the traversing of the own ship.

"NORTH UP"

North is always at the top of the screen (0 degree on the bearing scale). The merits of this presentation mode

are as follows: Stationary targets remain stable and can be easily found on the chart, and their true bearings

can be read immediately.

Surrounding targets will not ratate according to the traversing of the own ship.

"STABILIZED COURSE UP"

The heading line (HL) is always fixed at the top of the screen (0 degree on the bearing scale) by resetting it

every rotation. During video processing, the fixed target is displayed stably and unnecessary targets such as

sea clutters decrease. This display is available only in the radar mode.

Surrounding targets will not ratate according to the traversing of the own ship.

3.3.8 Selecting True Motion ／ Relative Motion Display Modes [TM ／ RM] [TM RST]

Outline of the Motion Mode

• The "Motion mode" determines in which motion of relative motion or true motion the moving of the

own ship and other targets are displayed.

• In "Motion mode", the mode is switched sequentially by pressing the

TM RM

key.

• In TM/CTM mode, a composite display with plotter is possible, however, in RM/SRM, composite

display is not allowed.

RM : Relative motion. The own ship is fixed on the center and other targets are displayed

in relative motion.

A radar trail is relative motion display.

Video processing is performed in relative motion mode. (Video processing cannot

be used when H-UP is selected.)

SRM : Stabilized relative motion. The own ship is fixed on the center and other targets are

displayed in relative motion.

A radar trail is relative motion display.

Video processing is performed in true motion mode.

TM : True motion. The own ship and other targets are displayed in true motion mode on

the globe fixed screen.

Video processing is performed in true motion mode.

CTM : True Motion with Constant Own Ship Position. The own ship is fixed on the center

and other targets are displayed in relative motion mode.

A radar trail is true motion display.

Video processing is performed in true motion mode.

Note

●

For further information about video processing, see subsection “3.3.20 Displaying Video Processing Screen”.

The position of the own ship moves with true speed and course across the radar display area. Land masses

and other stationary targets do not move and only targets in motion move with true speed and course. When

this mode is selected, the own ship position will be offset to a position of about 65% of the radar display area

in the opposite direction of the course. The own ship will start moving from the position in accordance with

its speed and course. When the own ship arrives at a position of about 65% of the radar display radius on the

opposite side, the own ship will automatically be set to the position where it was when the true motion

display mode was selected.

Note

● True motion is not activated in the 96 and 120nm ranges.

RM ○○○×

SRM ○○○×

TM ×○○×

CTM ×○○○

Note

● In H-UP of RM, video processing cannot be used.

Differences Between RM and SRM

• The SRM mode was developed by improving the conventional RM mode to be able to perform

accurate video processing.

• When H-UP video processing is performed in the conventional RM mode, videos of other ships may

disappear. Since, in SRM mode, video processing is performed by true motion, accurate video

processing is performed and problems in the conventional mode do not occur.

3.3.16 Enhancing Target

• Expands a target to the display size.

• By expanding a target, the visibility of a small target is improved, thereby improving the sensitivity.

• However, if a target is expanded, the bearing and distance resolution deteriorate.

• The use of "EXP2" is recommended instead of "EXP1".

• The operation characteristics of the target expansion function are as follows.

OFF : The target expansion function is not used.

Use this mode when a high resolution is required.

EXP1 : Expands the target display size to the distance direction.

Expands also the bearing direction in the center of the screen.

Effective for searching small targets by using Video "PROC3".

Note that the screen may be filled with emphasized noise if Video "PROC2" is used

concurrently.

EXP2 : Expands the target display size to the vertical and horizontal directions.

Can be used regardless of the Video processing.

Use this mode when the sea clutter is strong.

EXP3 : Mode that sets "EXP1" and "EXP2" concurrently.

Use this mode for detecting small targets such as radio buoy.

Motion of Video Processing

• Video processing performs correlation processing for each scan.

• Video processing suppresses random undesired clutter and displays targets only.

• Accurate true bearing signals and speed signals are necessary.

• In SRM/TM/CTM mode, high processing precision can be achieved since processing is performed in

true motion.

• In RM mode, processing precision deteriorates due to the moving or traversing of own ship since

processing is performed in relative motion.

• When a target moves at a high speed and "PROC1" or "PROC2" is used, the image may be blurred or

disappear. In this case, set the processing to "OFF" or use "PROC3".

• Operation characteristics of "PROC1" to "PROC3" are as follows:

OFF : Does not perform correlation processing between scans.

At monitoring a near range such as within a bay, monitoring a target moving at a

high speed, or when a true bearing sensor is not connected.

PROC1 : Suppresses general undesired clutter and displays targets in natural gradation.

PROC2 : Suppresses random undesired clutter and displays a target by emphasizing it.

Use this processing for detecting small targets hidden by undesired clutter.

PROC3 : Displays unstable targets of low detection probability.

Use this processing when searching for small targets such as radio buoy in an area

free from sea clutter.
