What is quantization level?
A quantization level is a signal level that is recognized by the TT function as a target.
By setting a lower value, input of signals of weak targets in the TT target detection circuit is enabled.
However, many unnecessary signals are also input, destabilizing acquisition and tracking of targets
due to unnecessary signals. It is important to set a value greater than the value for detecting
unnecessary signals by 4 or 5.
Do not change the quantization level settings indiscreetly.
If inappropriate values are set, the acquisition of the target tracking
function and the tracking function will deteriorate, possibly causing
accidents.

21.2 General Maintenance
DANGER
Never attempt to check or repair the inside of the equipment.
Checking or repair by an unqualified person may cause a fire or an electric shock. Contact our head office, or a nearby branch or local office to request servicing.
Never remove the cover of this equipment. Touching the high-voltage section inside will cause an electric shock.
Do not attempt to disassemble or tamper with this equipment. Otherwise, a fire, an electric shock, or a malfunction may occur.
When conducting maintenance, make sure to turn the main power off. Failure may result in electric shock.
Turn off all the main powers before cleaning the equipment. Make sure to turn it off since voltage is still outputted from the rectifier even after the indicator and the radar are turned off. Failure may result in equipment failure, or death or serious injury due to electric shock.
When conducting maintenance work on the radar antenna, make sure to turn all the main powers off. Failure may result in electric shock or injuries.
Make sure to turn off the radar antenna safety switch. Failure may result in injuries caused by physical contact with the rotating radar antenna.
For operating this equipment in the good conditions, it is necessary to make the maintenance work as
described below. If maintenance is made properly, troubles will reduce. It is recommended to make
regular maintenance work.
The general maintenance work common among each equipment is as follows.
Clean the equipment.
Remove the dust, dirt, and sea water rest on the equipment cabinet with a piece of dry cloth.
Especially, clean the air vents with a brush for good ventilation.

21.3 Maintenance on Each Unit
21.3.1 Radar antenna NKE-1125/1129/1130/1139
When turning off the power supply, do not hold down the power button of the operation unit.
Otherwise, a trouble may occur due to termination failure.
Never directly touch the internal components of the radar antenna or indicator. Direct contact with these high-voltage components may cause electric shock. For maintenance, inspection, or adjustment of equipment components, consult with our branch office, branch shop, sales office, or our distributor in your district.
Do not get close to the radiant section of the radar antenna. It is a rotating part, and it may cause injuries if it suddenly starts rotating and consequently hits the body. It is recommended that the radiant section be installed at a high place such as on the roof of the wheelhouse, on the flying bride, on the trestle, or on the radar mast so that no one can get close to it.
Keep away from the radar antenna during transmission.
Microwaves are generated from the front center of the radiant section of the radar antenna at the levels indicated in the table below. Exposure to microwaves at close range can result in injury (especially damage to eyes).
Microwave radiation level of the radar antenna
System 50 W/m

NKE-2103 n/a 26 cm 123 cm
NKE-1125/1129/2254 5 cm 81 cm 162 cm
NKE-1130/1139 11 cm 76 cm 181 cm
Make sure to install the radar antenna at a place higher than human height. Direct exposure to electromagnetic wave at close range will have adverse effects on the human body.
When it is necessary to get close to the radar antenna for maintenance or inspection purposes, make sure to turn the power switch of the display unit to "OFF" or "STBY". Direct exposure to electromagnetic waves at close range will have adverse effects on the human body.
When conducting maintenance work, make sure to turn off the power so that the power supply to the equipment is completely cut off. Some equipment components can carry electrical current even after the power switch is turned off, and conducting maintenance work may result in electric shock, equipment failure, or accidents.

21.3.1.1 Precautions in mounting the cover
When the cover is removed for regular inspection and replacement of parts and refitted after such work,
the procedures of fastening bolts shall be taken with the following precautions:
(1) The proper fastening torque of the fitting bolts (M8) is 1176 to 1470 N•cm (120 to 150 kgf•cm)
(which makes the inside water-tight and protects the packings against permanent compressive
strain). The packings start sticking out from the cover at a torque of approximately 1470 N•cm
(150 kgf•cm). Do not fasten the bolts with a torque exceeding the specified value. Otherwise, the
screws may be broken.
(2) Use an offset wrench of 11 mm × 13 mm or a double-ended wrench of 13 mm × 17 mm (not longer
than 200 mm).
(3) Screw all the bolts by hand first to prevent them playing, then fasten them evenly in order not to
cause one-sided fastening. (Fasten the bolts with 25% of the required torque at the first step.)
*: Fasten the bolts in the diagonal order.

21.3.1.2 Radiator
Perform inspection and cleaning of the radiator.
Note
If the radiator front face (radiation plane) is soiled with smoke, salt, dust, paint or birds’
droppings, wipe it with a piece of soft cloth wetted with alcohol or water and try to keep it clean
at all times. Otherwise, radar beam radiation may attenuate or reflect on it, resulting in
deterioration of radar performance.
Never use solvents of gasoline, benzene, trichloroethylene and ketone for cleaning.
Otherwise, the radiation plane may deteriorate.
21.3.1.3 Rotating section
Supply oil seal
When there is not a grease nipple, the replenishment of grease oil is unnecessary.
Remove the cap on the grease nipple located on the front of the part at which the radiator is supported,
and grease with a grease gun. Make the oiling every six months. The oil quantity shall be approximate
100 g, which is as much as the grease comes out of the oil seal. Use the grease of Mobilux2 of Mobil
Oil.
Oiling gears
Apply grease evenly to the tooth surfaces of the main shaft drive gear and the encoder drive gear with
a spreader or brush. Oiling in short intervals is more effective to prevent the gears from wear and tear
and extend their service life, but oil at least every six months.
Use the grease of Mobilux2 of Mobil Oil or equivalent.
Mounting legs
Check the mounting legs and mounting bolts of the radar antenna chassis for corrosion at intervals and
maintain them to prevent danger. Apply paint to them once a half year because painting is the best
measure against corrosion.
21.3.2 Flexible wave guide (JMR-9225-7X3/9X3, JMR-7225-7X3/9X3)
Note
Install the flexible wave guide without any clearance.
Leaving a clearance may cause water leakage or corrosion later.
Page 84
Section 21 Maintenance & Inspection 21-24
21.3.3 Coaxial cable (JMR-9230-S3, JMR-7230-S3)
The coaxial tube gland of a coaxial cable terminal is fully waterproofed when installed. To prevent a
water leakage accident, periodically inspect the coaxial tube gland. In particular, the coaxial tube gland
should be repainted every six months.
Do not apply strong shock to the coaxial cable by striking it with a tool or
hammering it.
Otherwise, an open circuit failure may result.
Do not place anything heavy on the coaxial cable.
Otherwise, an open circuit failure may result.
Do not twist or pull the coaxial cable.
Otherwise, an open circuit failure may result.
For the details, refer to the coaxial cable installation procedure for S-band radars.
21.3.4 Transmitter-receiver (NTG-3225/3230)
Wipe dust off the transmitter-receiver with a dry cloth or feather duster.
21.3.5 Display unit
When cleaning the screen, do not wipe it too strongly with a dry cloth.
Also, do not use gasoline or thinner to clean the screen. Otherwise the
screen surface may be damaged.
Dust accumulated on the screen will reduce clarity and darken the video.
For cleaning it, wipe it with a piece of soft cloth (flannel or cotton). Do not wipe it strongly with a piece of
dry cloth nor use gasoline or thinner.
