Section 5 Basic Operation of the
Radar
Use the radar as your navigation aid.
Final decision on the ship operation must be made by the ship operator himself.
If you depend entirely on the
radar information for the final decision on the ship
operation, such an accident as collision and stranding may occur.
If momentary power interruption has occurred on the ship during the radar operation,
the image may distort or may not appear. If this occurs, turn on the power again.
5.1 Overview Flowchart
• Do no put anything on the operation section.
In particular, if a hot object is placed on the operation section, deformation is likely
to occur.
• Do not allow a heavy impact to be applied to the operation section, trackball or
dial.
A trouble may occur.
Page 18
Section 5 Basic Operation of the Radar 5-2
Power ON this system and start the radar.
Adjust reception gain, sea clutter and rain/snow
clutter so that the observation range as well as the
target display become the clearest.
Acquire data, and then measure the range and
bearing of the target.
Exit the operation of the Radar.
Refer to "5.2.1 Powering on and
starting".
Refer to "5.3 Observation Environment
and Image Adjustment".
Refer to "5.4 General Radar Operation".
Refer to "5.2.2 Exiting radar operation".

5.2 Starting and Shutting Down the
Radar
5.2.1 Powering on and starting
Note
• Wait for about 2 seconds before turning on the power again.
• Immediately after the radar is installed, at start of the system after it has not been used for a
long time, or after the magnetron is replaced, preheat the equipment in the standby state for 20
to 30 minutes before setting it into the transmit state.
If the preheating time is short, the magnetron causes sparks, resulting in its unstable oscillation.
• Start transmission on a short pulse range and change the range to the long pulse ranges in
turn. If the transmission is unstable in the meantime, immediately place the system back into
the standby state and maintain it in the standby state for 5 to 10 minutes before restarting the
operation. Repeat these steps until the operation are stabilized.
1 Check that the ship’s mains are turned on.
2 Press the Power button on the operation unit.
This equipment starts and Task Menu appears on the screen.

Section 5 Basic Operation of the Radar 5-4
3 Click on the [Collision Avoidance (RADAR)] button on Task Menu.

When the magnetron radar antenna is connected, “Preheat” is displayed on the Standby/Send
switching button.
4 Wait until preheating is complete.
When the preheating time expires, the preheating time display disappears, and the display of
the Standby/Transmit switch button changes from "Preheat" to "Standby".
5 Click on the Standby/Transmit switch button.
Radar transmission starts and the radar antenna rotates.
The display of the Standby/Transmit switch button changes from "Standby" to "Transmit".
Note
Even if the Standby/Transmit switch button is clicked on while "Preheat" is being displayed, radar
transmission cannot be performed.
Memo
When the “Preheat” display is held down (5
seconds or longer), the display is switched to
“Standby”.

5.2.2 Exiting radar operation
1 Click on the Standby/Transmit switch button in Radar system information.
Radar transmission stops and the rotation of the radar antenna stops.
The display of the Standby/Transmit switch button changes from "Transmit" to "Standby".
Memo
If observation using the radar is being scheduled within a comparably short period of time,
keep this state. Observation can be started immediately by just
clicking on the
Standby/Transmit switch button.
2 Press the Power button on the operation unit.
The power to this equipment is turned OFF.
Before starting maintenance, turn off power. Cut off all the power
supplies to the equipment.
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.
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.

5.3 Observation Environment and Image
Adjustment
5.3.1 Adjusting screen brightness
1 Adjust the screen brightness.
For the details of the adjustment, refer to "3.9 Adjusting the Brightness of the Screen and
Operation Unit".
In consideration of the ambient brightness, adjust the brightness of the display that is high
enough to easily observe the radar display but does not glare.
5.3.2 Changing the observation range
1 Click on the Range Scale button in Presentation and mode information, and then
select Range from the pop-up menu.
[Points on adjustments]
Increasing the observation range will enable a wider range to be observed.
However, a video image is small and the ability to detect targets near own ship decreases.
Therefore, when observing the vicinity of own ship, use the smaller observation range.
Decreasing the observation range will enable the vicinity of own ship to be enlarged. However,
caution must be taken because video images of the area beyond the observation range cannot
be displayed.

Section 5 Basic Operation of the Radar 5-8
Since the image within the previous observation range is displayed by
expanding/contracting for the period from immediately after switching of the
observation range from the next image updating, do not use
this image for
navigation.
If this image is used for navigation, an accident may occur.
Note
An observation range under which the own ship display positon and the antenna position exceeds
the area 66% of the screen radius cannot be selected.

5.3.3 Adjusting tune
Normally, use the automatic tune mode.
If you use the manual tuning mode, an accident may be caused by
fluctuation of transmission and reception.
Use the manual tune mode only when best tuning is not possible in the
automatic tune mode due to deterioration of magnetron.
This equipment has the automatic tuning mode that performs tuning of the transmission frequency and
the reception frequency by automatic control, and the manual tuning mode in which the user performs
tuning. Normally use the automatic tune mode. Only when the best tuning is not possible by the
automatic tune mode due to the deterioration of magnetron, use the manual tune mode.
The tuning mode currently being used is displayed on the Tuning Mode button in Radar system
information.
Note
This function is effective when a magnetron radar antenna is connected.
When using the automatic tune mode

The tuning status is displayed on the tuning bar according to the movement of the fine tuning
slider.
Make adjustments so that the display on the tuning bar indicates the maximum (the state in
which the tuning bar is positioned at the most right).
5.3.4 Adjusting gain
Be sure to always adjust for the best gain.
If the gain is too high, undesired signals including receiver noise and
false echoes increase resulting in reduction of visibility of targets.
Otherwise, accidents may result.
On the contrary, if the gain is too low, targets including ships and
dangerous objects may not be clearly indicated.
Adjust the gain of the radar.

Moving the slider to the left decreases gain.
The current reception gain level is indicated by the bar and a numeric value.
[Points on adjustments]
As reception gain is increased, the range in which radar images can be observed widens; however, if
gain is increased too high, receiver noise, false echoes and other undesired signals will increase on
the screen, lowering the visibility of targets.
Also, it gets easier to see the screen display if gain is decreased to observe cluttered targets and close
range, but be careful not to overlook small targets.

Moving the slider to the left increases the amount of images by sea clutter.
The current level of sea clutter suppression is indicated by the bar and a numeric value.
[Points on adjustments]
The sea clutter suppression function decreases the amount of images by sea clutter by lowering
reception gain at close range. When reception gain is lowered, the effectiveness of sea clutter
suppression increases; however, if excessive effect is applied, please note that targets having weak
signal strength such as buoys and small ships will disappear.

Section 6
Target Tracking and AIS
This section explains Target Tracking (hereinafter, referred to as target tracking or TT) and Automatic
Identification System (hereinafter referred to as AIS).
Use the target tracking function as your navigation aid. Final decision on the ship
operation must be made by the ship operator himself.
If you depend entirely on the information of the target tracking function for the final
decision on ship operation, an accident may occur.
An error may be contained in the vector, target value data and alarm indicated by the
target tracking function. Further, the target not detected by radar cannot be captured
or tracked.
If you depend entirely on the informa
tion of the radar for the final decision on ship
operation, such an accident as collision or stranding may result.
Simulation is a function for determining if the target tracking function is working
correctly or not. Accordingly, this function should b
e used only to check for the
target tracking function operation.
In particular, if this mode is used during navigation, a pseudo target will appear on the
radar screen and cannot be easily identified from the real target. This may cause
such an accident as collision. Do not use this mode during the navigation.
Target Tracking
This function calculates the course and speed of a target by automatically tracking the target's move.
This function enables the automatic acquisition of targets by using the automatic acquisition zone
function.
This function also enables the simulation of the ship maneuvering method to avoid collisions by using
the trial maneuver function.
Memo
If the mode is ground stabilization, SOG/COG used for own ship's information. If the mode is sea
stabilization, STW (speed through the water)/HDG (heading) is used for own ship's information.
Target tracking range is 32 NM. (Available all range scale)
For the details, refer to "6.5 Setting and Operating Target Tracking".
AIS
This function shows the target's information on the radar display, using other ship's information sent out
from the AIS unit.
For the details, refer to "6.6 Setting and Operating AIS".
Page 56
Section 6 Target Tracking and AIS 6-2
6.1 Restrictions
The acquisition and Target Tracking functions have the following restrictions.
Depending on distance and echo size, resolution between adjacent targets during automatic target
tracking usually ranges somewhere between 0.03 to 0.05 NM. If multiple targets approach each other,
there is a possibility of swapping them or losing one of them. Such swapping or less of targets may
also occur if the target being tracked is affected by rain/snow clutter or sea clutter or moves very close
to land.
The intensity of echoes and the Target Tracking function have a correlationship, and thus the target will
be lost if no echoes are detected during six scans in succession.
If such a lost target exists, therefore, radar gain must be increased to support detection of the target. If,
however, radar gain is increased too significantly, sea clutter or other noise may be erroneously
detected and tracked as a target, and resultingly, a false alarm may be issued.
To execute accurate tracking, it becomes necessary first to appropriately adjust the gain, sea clutter
suppression, rain/snow clutter suppression and tune of the radar so that the target to be acquired and
tracked is clearly displayed on the radar display.
Inappropriate settings of these adjustments reduce the reliability/accuracy of automatic target tracking.

6.2 Collision Avoidance Issue
(Explanation)
6.2.1 Collision Avoidance in Navigation
Marine collision avoidance in navigation is one of the problems that have been recognized from of old.
This section contains a brief statement about the position of collision avoidance in navigation.
The navigation pattern of all mobile craft constitutes a system with some closed loops regardless of the
media through which the mobile craft travels, whether air, water, the boundary between air and water,
or space. This pattern consists of two closed loops in principle, one of which is a collision avoidance
with another mobile craft and the other is a loop of finding a right and safe way to reach a
predeterminate destination.
The following figure shows the conceptual diagram of navigation pattern by Mr. E.W. Anderson. The
closed loop of collision avoidance is shown on the left side and the closed loop of finding a safe route
on the right side.
6.2.2 Marine Accidents and Collisions
Among marine accidents, collision accidents have been highlighted as the tonnages and speeds of
ships become higher along with the increase in traffic at sea.
If a tanker carrying dangerous articles such as crude oil collides with any other vessel, then not only
the vessels involved with the accident but other vessels in the vicinity, port facilities and inhabitants in
the coastal area as well as marine resources may also suffer immeasurable influence.
Collision accidents have a high percentage of the marine accidents that have occurred in recent years.
To cope with these problems, any effective measures are needed and some equipment to achieve
collision avoidance requirements has been developed at rapid strides.

6.2.3 Basic Concept of Collision Avoidance
There are two aspects in collision avoidance: collision prediction and avoidance. Putting it in extreme
terms, collision prediction is to predict that two or more vessels will happen to occupy the same point at
the same time, while collision avoidance is to maneuver vessels not to occupy the same point at the
same time.
In practical operation of vessels, a spot of collision has to be deemed to be a single point but a closed
zone. This closed zone is conceptually defined as a CPA (Closest Point of Approach). Further, the
time taken to arrive at CPA is required for collision prediction, and the danger of collision is judged
considering the TCPA (Time to CPA). The following figure illustrates a diagram caked "Collision
Triangle".

6.2.4 Relative Vector and True Vector
From two points of view, collision prediction and avoidance, it is necessary to obtain the relative vector
of other ship for prediction and the true vector of other ship for collision avoidance in order to realize
other ship's aspect.
The relationship between the relative vector and true vector is shown in the following figure.
Furthermore, the meanings of both vectors are explained.
Both rough CPA and TCPA can be obtained easily from the relative speed vector of other ship. This
method has an advantage that the risks of collision with all other ships within the radar range can be
seen at a glance. On the other hand, the course and speed of other ship can easily be obtained from its
true speed vector, enabling other ship's aspect to be seen at a glance. Thus, the aspects of other ships
(transverse, outsail, parallel run, reverse run, etc.) as described in the act of prevention of collision at
sea can be readily understood. If there is a risk of collision with other ship, the operator can determine
which rule to be applied and how to operate own ship.
6.2.5 Radar and Collision Avoidance
Radar is still playing an important role for collision prevention and positioning.
A plotter is used to further enhance the radar functionality. The plotter is capable of plotting other
positions of other ships in 3 to 6 minute intervals to monitor their movement. The plots of other ships
represent their tracks relative to own ship, and it is shown whether there is a risk of collision, namely
CPA and TCPA can be obtained. This method using a plotter is fairly effective, but the number of target
ship, which is manually plotted, is limited and it takes several minutes to measure those.

6.3.4 About AIS AtoN (Aids to Navigation)
AIS AtoN is a system that displaying aid to navigation like a lighthouse, light buoy or unreal aid to
navigation on the display unit on ships using AIS receiver.
There are following two kinds of AIS AtoN.
AIS AtoN type
Function
Operation example
Real AIS AtoN Installs the AIS on real aid to
navigation, and displays its location
on the display unit on ships.
In low visibility, receiving the Real AIS
AtoN symbols facilitates identification of
the light location and light buoy.
Virtual AIS AtoN Displays virtual aid to navigation on
the display unit on ships according
to the signals transmitted from the
AIS station on the land.
In the sea area where installation of the
light buoy is difficult, the Virtual AIS AtoN
symbols are displayed as virtual light
buoys that are used as targets for getting
to the destination.
This system can also be used as the aid
substituted for the aid to navigation
damaged by natural disasters.
6.3.5 About AIS-SART Information
The AIS-SART function enables information about the location of wrecked ship to be displayed on the
screen.
For the details, refer to "7.5 Display of AIS-SART".
6.3.6 About Display Priority of AIS Targets
Up to 500*1 targets can be displayed in total of activated and sleeping AIS targets. Up to 500 activated
AIS targets can be displayed in the total.
When there is an AIS target of 500
*1
or more, the display is made according to the following priority
order.
*1: The maximum number of AIS targets displayed can be changed to the option of 1000 targets.
If the number of targets at the same priority level exceeds the allowable maximum, they are displayed
in the following priority order:
1. Association target
2. Activated AIS target
3. Sleeping AIS target
High priority
Low priority
1. Numeric displayed target
2. Target of which CPA/TCPA is lower than the set value
(Target as a dangerous ship for which an alarm has been generated)
3. Target in automatic activation zone

6.3.7 Switching between Ground Vector and Water
Vector
The vector of an AIS target is to be displayed with a vector over ground or over water by switching the
stabilization mode. The type of the currently displayed vector can be confirmed by viewing the setting
of the stable mode.
When [GND] is selected for the stabilization mode: Ground vector
When [Sea] is displayed for the stabilization mode: Water vector
When the vector of an AIS target is displayed with a vector over water, the system has converted the
AIS target's vector over ground to the vector over water according to the data received from the AIS
and the own ship's information.
6.3.8 Association Target Symbols
When the TT target and AIS target are determined to be the same targets, the association symbols are
displayed as follows.
Symbol display for high-priority TT targets Symbol display for high-priority AIS targets

True vector mode
In the true vector mode, the directions of vectors indicate the true courses of targets and the Vector
Lengths indicate the values which are proportional to their speeds.
In the true vector mode, the movements of other ships around own ship can be accurately and easily
monitored.
Vectors of own ship are displayed as shown below.
Note
In true vector mode, CPA ring cannot be displayed.
Relative Vector Mode
The relative vector does not represent the true motion of the target, but its relative relation with own
ship. A target with its relative vector directed to own ship (passing through the CPA limit ring) will be a
dangerous target.
In the Relative Vector mode, it can be seen at a glance where the CPA limit of the dangerous target is.
The true vector is not displayed.

6.5.7 Setting target for which ground is fixed to a
reference target
By tracking the target for which ground is fixed and setting it to a reference target, the speed of the own
ship can be obtained and displayed.
Note
• T
he reference target function is to be used if the own ship's speed cannot be displayed
normally due to trouble such as a speed sensor malfunction. Do not use the reference target
function except in emergencies.
• If the speed or course of the own ship is cha
nged or a new reference target is set, the
displayed speed may take 3 minutes or more to reach the specified speed after the
speed/course change or the setting.
Even after 3 minutes or more has passed, the speed may differ from the specified speed
depending on the tracking condition.
•
If a large radar echo such as a land target is set as a reference target, the vectors of the
speed and other tracking targets will not be displayed correctly and may cause an accident.
• If a sailing ship is set as a reference target, the vectors of the speed and other tracking targets
will not be displayed correctly and may cause an accident.
• If the reference target is lost or the Target Tracking function is stopped, the ship speed against
the ground will be GPS. (Only if the GPS is equipped.).
• If the reference target is lost or the Target Tracking function is stopped, that will make a major
impact on the accuracy of the target tracking and the own ship speed.
• The reference targets are only used for the calculation of true speed.
•
Do not use own speed based on reference target tracking for relative speed and CPA/TCPA
calculation of AIS targets because the response of own speed is slower than actual own
ship's speed change and it may cause a big error on the collision judgement of AIS targets.
1 Acquire the ground-fixed target.
2 Click the right button on the acquired target.
A context menu is displayed.

top right corner of the screen.
The ship speed is automatically calculated from the reference target and is displayed as the
COG/SOG speed.
When a reference target is set, the symbol display changes to “
R
”.
Note
Only one target can be set as a reference target.
When a new reference target is set, the previous reference target is cancelled.

6.5.8 Operation Test for Target Tracking
Simulation is a function for determining if the target tracking function is working
correctly or not. Accordingly, this function should be used only to check for the target
tracking function operation.
In particular, if this mode is used during navigation, a pseudo target will appear
on the radar screen and cannot be easily identified from the real target. This
may cause such an accident as collision. Do not use this mode during the
navigation.
The following operation test and checking are performed to check the operation of target tracking as
required. The "TT Te s t" dialog is used for operation.
