Usage Hints

WARNING

Do not remove the cover of the unit. Doing so may cause an

electric shock by high voltage from within the product’s enclosure.

Do not touch the radiator fin of the unit. Doing so may cause a burn by high temperature.

Do not try to disassemble or modify the unit.

Doing so may cause a fire, electric shock or malfunction.

Operate the unit only on 12 VDC. Not doing so may cause fire or electrical shock.

Do not (dis)connect the power cable(from) to the main unit with wet hands, as doing so may cause electrical shock.

In the event that you spill or drop any liquids or metals, etc. inside the unit, turn off the main unit, unplug the power supply terminal, and contact our company, branch, or local office. Continuing operation as is may cause a fire, electric shock or malfunction.

Do not place objects containing liquid or metal fragments on top of the unit, which might be spilled or dropped into the unit. Doing so may cause a fire, electric shock or malfunction.

In the event that smoking or burning odors are detected, immediately terminate operation of the unit and contact your dealer. Continuing operation as is may cause a fire or electrical shock. Never attempt to service the interior of the unit.

CAUTION

When disconnecting the power cable, be sure to grasp it by the plug. Never pull on the connecting cord itself, as doing so increases the risk of malfunction.

Do not drop the unit into water. When disconnecting the connector on the back side, be sure it does not get wet, as doing so increases risk of electrical shock or malfunction.

Do not use or install the unit in a place where the LCD is subject to direct sunlight, or in a location near heat sources where the temperature is 50°C (Display Unit), 55°C (Scanner Unit) or more. Doing so may cause a malfunction or defect.

Do not turn on the unit immediately after moving it from a cold place to a warm one. Let the unit stand for around 30 minutes before turn on, until the inside temperature of the unit reaches the same level as that of the room it was moved to. Not doing so increases risk of malfunction.

Be sure to connect a cable to the grounding terminal when installing. Not doing so may cause an electric shock or excessive noise from/ to other equipment.

Do not use any type of organic solvent such as thinner or benzine when cleaning the surface of the cabinet. Doing so may damage the coating or the finish of the unit’s surface. Remove any dust and clean the unit’s surface with a soft dry cloth.

This device is only an aid to navigation.

• The information displayed by the unit cannot be directly used for navigation purposes. It must be used together with the appropriate marine charts.

• The unit does not automatically assess position information. It is the user's responsibility to judge position and navigational information.

EMC Installation & Service Guidelines

IMPORTANT NOTE

All JRC equipment and accessories are designed to the highest industry standards for use in a marine environment. Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but good installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that the equipment will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect operation of the product. Complete installation instructions are provided in SECTION 2 of this manual. Some preliminary suggestions are made below.

Installation

To avoid the risk of operating problems, all JRC equipment and cables connected to it should be:

•At least 1m (3 feet) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio

signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios the distance should be increased to 2m (7 ft).

•More than 2 m (7 ft) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can nor-

mally assume to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element.

•The equipment should be supplied from a different battery than the one used

for engine start. Voltage drops below 10.2V in the power supply to our products can cause the equipment to reset. This will not damage the equipment, but will cause some loss of information and this can also change the operating mode.

•Genuine JRC Cables should be used at all times. Cutting and rejoining these

cables can compromise EMC performance and should therefore be avoided unless doing so is suggested in the installation manual.

Check Before Going to Sea

• Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is not

affected by radio transmissions, engine starting, low battery voltage, or other problems.

•In some, installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from

being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the equipment but it can lead to it resetting, or momentarily may result in faulty operation. This can then be avoided by turning off the RADAR 1800 prior to starting the boat engines for instance.

Servicing and Safety

•JRC equipment should be serviced only by authorized JRC service engineers. They will ensure that service procedures and replacement parts used will not affect performance. There are no user serviceable parts in any JRC product.

•Some products generate high voltages, and so never handle the cables/connectors when power is being supplied to the equipment.

• Always report any EMC related problem to your nearest JRC dealer. We will use any such information to improve our quality standards.

Suppression Ferrites

The following illustration shows the range of suppression ferrites fitted to

JRC equipment.

Notes for Suppression Ferrite Installation

Connections to other equipment

If your JRC equipment is going to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by JRC, a suppression ferrite MUST always be fitted to the cable close to the JRC unit.

Introduction

Function

Congratulations on selecting the JRC RADAR 1800 Color LCD system to

assist your navigation.

Whether you purchased this radar because of its compactness, power economy, ease of installation, or long term reliability, one thing is certain;the moment you turn on your RADAR 1800 Display you will know that you are seeing a revolutionary new concept in Radar technology.

You are the proud owner of a radar system unmatched in the marine recreational industry.

Radar signals are shown on a color LCD display with excellent graphic clarity and detail.

A single glance at your Display will give you a complete and accurate 360˚ radar picture of other vessels, buoys and land surrounding your vessel.

By connecting with JRC’s GPS/DGPS sensor, the LCD Display allows you to continuously display latitude, longitude, scale division and track line of the vessel in color.

Since the color of the vessel track line can be displayed in any color and deleted when required, it can be checked at a glance.

In addition to track line, waypoints and transit point(convenient for marking dangerous location, shoals and fishing spots) can be stored and diplayed in color.

The distance and bearing from the ever-changing current position to a waypoint is displayed automatically.

Since displayed sea areas can be magnified, reduced or moved as desired, it can be used for a number of application.

Section 1 Introduction

System components

The Color Radar plotter RADAR 1800 consists of a compact display unit connected to scanner unit. Use of the GPS capabilities requires the optional GPS 112:JRC's GPS sensor. Use of the DGPS capabilities requires the optional DGPS212:JRC's DGPS sensor.

Installation Procedure

Installation

CAUTION

Insluate the GPS/DGPS sensor case from ground. Without insulation, a considerable amount of current frow from ground to this equipment. A considerable amount of current may cause equipment damage.

The aluminum bottom of the GPS112/DGPS212 are designed so that it can be installed on the navigation antenna mount unit or on an extension mast conforming to 1” x 14 NPT standards. The aluminum casing is negative earth, so a plastic mounting unit should be used to prevent any corrosive activity from developing. The bottom of the receiver is provided with a slot to allow the receiver cable to be pulled out to the side. This eliminates the need of pulling the cable through the center of an extension mast.

When twisting on the receiver be careful not to damage the cable.

Avoid thread damage Grip and turn from the base

Figure 2-5 Installation

Section 2 Installation

When the cable is pulled through the center of the extension mast, it is recommended that RTV silicon sealant be used to seal off the cable slot on the bottom of the receiver to protect it from the environment. When the cable is pulled out through the slot, secure it in position to protect it against damage due to vibration. Then seal the slot on the receiver bottom with the RTV silicon sealant.

ATTENTION

• Do not fasten the junction of connectors with the fitting belt. It may cause connector damage.

• Do not coil the fitting belt around the aluminum base. The aluminum base will be scratched with the belt and may cause corrosion.

Connecting DC Power

WARNING

Do not touch the ground terminal and vessel ground on the display unit at the same time without the ground terminal earthed. Otherwise, you may suffer an electric shock.

CAUTION

RED to the positive. BLACK to the negative. Do not mistake the colors, as doing so will cause a malfunction.

Your unit is intended for use on vessels with 12 VDC power systems and it

can operate as long as the DC supply is maintained between 10.2 and 16.0 VDC.

The supplied 6.5 foot power cable assembly should reach the source of DC

power.

Section 2 Installation

➔ On larger boats, route the power leads to the ship’s DC power distribution

panel. Connect to 10 amp or 10 amp (maximum) circuit breaker, as the unit is fused at 10 amps.

➔ On smaller vessels connect the power leads directly to the main battery

isolation switch or breaker.

Avoid grouping the unit’s power connections with radar, radio, or Loran-C power leads on the same circuit breaker. Separate the wiring as much as possible from other devices to prevent electrical noise interference.

Although the unit’s power consumption is approx. 50 watts, if you need to extend the power cable leads by more than 10 feet, increase the wire size of the leads accordingly to minimize line losses. For runs of 20-35 feet, #10 AWG is recommended.

➔ Connect the RED wire to the positive (+) source terminal as shown in Figure

2-8.

➔ Connect the BLACK wire to the negative (-) source terminal as shown in

Figure 2-8.

If the power leads are accidentally reversed, the in-line fuse will blow. If this happens, recheck the polarity of the connections with a volt-meter (VOM) and, if necessary, reverse the leads for proper connection.

Then, replace the fuse.

If the unit will not turn on and you suspect that you may have reversed the power connections, check the DC power lines all the way back to the battery. If the polarity is not correct, properly reconnect the leads and try again.

The unit is internally protected from accidental reverse polarity. Reversing the power leads will not damage the unit, it will simply not turn on.

Ship's Ground

System

Grounding the Display Unit

One very important requirement in installation of shipboard electronics is to obtain the cleanest, noise-free environment possible so each piece of electronic equipment can work to its best performance levels. This requirement is accomplished by assuring a proper connection from each equipment to the ship’s RF ground system. The ground provides a drain for shipboard noise transmission and pickup.

A separate ground wire of # 10 or # 12 AWG (# 10 recommended) should be connected from the ground terminal on the rear of the unit to the nearest connection point of the ship’s ground system.

Normally, on a steel hull boat, a good clean connection to the hull provides a sufficient ground. On a fiberglass or wood hull, connection to a ground plate or to the engine block and other bonded groundwork should be acceptable.

Connecting GPS/DGPS Sensor or Making NMEA0183 Data Connections (Option)

When displaying the latitude and longitude of your vessel on the screen, or using the NAVIGATION mode, you are required to connect the optional GPS112 or DGPS212 sensor to the RADAR 1800, or input the data of navigational information in the NMEA0183 format from navigation equipment.

Connecting GPS112 or DGPS212 sensor

CAUTION

Only the GPS/DGPS sensors manufactured by JRC can be connected directly to the GPS connector at the rear panel. If those other than manufactured by JRC are connected, the equipment may be damaged.

When using the GPS112 or DGPS212 sensor, connect the 5-pin antenna connector attached to the signal cable of the sensor to the “GPS” connector at the rear panel of the unit.

With this, it is possible to receive the necessary data of navigational information from the GPS112 or DGPS 212 sensor. It is advisable, however, to perform initial settings according to your conditions using the GPS SETTING, DGPS SETTING menu of the unit for more precise navigational information. Refer to p.91 and p.92 for the information about initial settings for each sensor.

Making NMEA0183 data connections

When receiving navigational data information in the NMEA0183 format from navigation equipment other than this unit, you are required to make a connecting cable using the 5-pin connector (model 6-282-5SG-325, CONXALL) and connect it to the “NMEA” connector at the rear panel of the unit.

Connect the 5-pin connector and the connecting cable as shown in Figure 2-9.

RADAR SET UP

The RADAR ADJUST menu contains settings which should be done at installation or after any repairs to optimize the performance of the radar system. It is recommended that the radar be run in transmit mode for at least 10 minutes before adjusting the Preset Tuning in order to stabilize the transmitter circuit first. It is also recommended to adjust the Preset Tuning first as the other adjustments will be easier to do after that. If Preset tuning is not correct, then the Auto Tune may not work or may not work correctly and receiving targets will be decreased or eliminated. If Preset STC is up too high the loss of closer in targets will occur. These are the 2 most important adjustments for viewing target echos. Bearing alignment and Range (Timing) adjustments are important for correct picture orientation and safety.

DISPLAY MODE (BEARING)

There are three bearing modes.

[HUP]

Most radar operators are familiar with seeing the radar picture aligned with the bow of the vessel. This type of radar display orientation makes it easy to look out the windshield and identify the radar’s targets as they are positioned relative to the ship’s Heading line.

[NUP]

North up mode means the radar picture is positioned just like your marine chart. 000˚ on the radar bearing scale is the same as True or Magnetic North. This mode requires an appropriate Heading input via COMPASS input or NMEA input.

[CUP]

If having the radar picture turned around on the screen in the NUP mode is confusing, you could select the CUP mode. The CUP mode lets you rotate the radar picture so the vessel’s basic Course Heading (and the Heading line) point at 000˚ on the bearing scale, similar to the HUP mode. In CUP mode you can again reference the targets by looking out the front window. Note however, if the vessel changes direction, the radar picture will not shift on the radar display in sync with the ship’s Heading changes. This keeps all target plots stable and also provides a clear visual reference to the operator on the impact of the vessel’s Heading shifts to the targets around his vessel. This mode requires an appropriate Heading input via COMPASS input or NMEA input.

This feature allows the operator to see the past history of target movement or behind the moving targets. Selecting “OFF” is no trails. The numerical selections, 0.5, 1, 3, and 6, represent the length of the “trail time” in minutes. For example, if 3 minutes is selected as the interval, the trail presents the last 3 minutes of the target movement. This provides a visual indication of a targets relative speed and course. “CONTINUOUS” provides a continuous trail.

If range scale or bearing mode is changed, or offset display position by the offset function, or changed display mode “RADAR” full to “RADAR/CHART”, the trails will be cleared and new trails will be redrawn to the screen.

The trails are drawn for anything that move on screen, including sea gulls, sea clutter, buoys, lobsterpots, and shoreline. In general, it is better to use the trails feature away from harbor and the shoreline to avoid a cluttered display and to concentrate on trails of target vessels.

If own vessel changes the course all trails are influenced in HUP mode, it is better to use the trail feature in NUP mode or CUP mode.

Targets entering or leaving the guard zone will sound audible and visible alerts to the operator. In the “IN” alarm mode, an alarm will sound if a target enter the area. In the “OUT” alarm mode the alarm will sound if a target leaves the prescribed area. This type of alarm is useful for monitoring during an anchor watch, when cruising with other vessels, pair trawling, or towing operation.

An alarm is sounded when any (apparent) target returning an echo above the noise threshold is detected. If sea clutter, or other incidental echoes trip the alarm, adjust the gain control and/or the sea clutter to avoid this false alarming.

SART (Search and Rescue Radar Transponder) is life preserving device approved by GMDSS which is used for locating survivors in the event of a disaster or distress. SART operates in the 9 GHz frequency band. When it receives a radar signal (interrogating radio wave) of 9 GHz transmitted by a rescue ship or aircraft radar, SART transmits a series of response signals to the searchers to indicate the distress position.

GPS SETTING

•In this item, you can perform the initial settings when JRC’s GPS/ DGPS sensor GPS112 or DGPS212 is connected to the RADAR

1800. The menu includes both basic settings and initial settings. The basic settings reflect the general GPS/DGPS sensors and the initial settings reflect the beacon module of the DGPS sensor. Before setting, you need to set the clock built in the plotter using CLOCK ADJUST.

Note:

•Use TX COMMAND to send the values set in the following settings.

VESSEL POSITION (Setting the vessel position)

•In this menu, you can set your vessel’s current position. It will take about 20 minutes to complete the positioning through the GPS/ DGPS when you turn the power on for the first time or after you perform the master reset. You can save time, however, by setting your vessel’s position, as well as time difference and antenna height described below.

TIME DIFFERENCE (Setting the time difference)

•In this menu, you can set the time difference between UTC (Universal Time Coordinate) and the local time.

ANTENNA HEIGHT (Setting the antenna height)

•In this menu, you can set the antenna height (from the sea level) of the GPS/DGPS sensor.

GEODETIC DATUM (Setting a geodetic system)

•In this menu, you can set the data type of the Geodetic System the GPS/DGPS sensor uses. In preparing charts or maps, cartographers rely on a particular geodetic datum or scaling system (Geodetic System) on which to calibrate the Latitude/Longitude coordinate structure onto their charts. The GPS/DGPS sensor also calculates the vessel’s position using the same Geodetic System. If the data type used in the Geodetic System by cartographers and the GPS/DGPS differ, the positions calculated by the GPS/DGPS may be considerably different, up to 200 m, from those in the charts. Therefore, it is necessary to set this item so that both sides use the same data type. The data type used is normally listed in the margin on the chart. Set the same data type.

There are 46 types of data available currently. (Refer to “Geodetic System Table” p.140)

FIX MODE (Setting the fixing mode)

•In this menu, you can set the geodetic mode of the GPS/DGPS sensor. When the GPS is connected, 3D provides more precise data than 2D. When the DGPS212 is connected, the AUTO mode is selected regardless of this setting.

HDOP LEVEL (Setting the HDOP level)

•In this menu, you can set the upper limit of the HDOP level using this item. The HDOP level indicates the geodetic precision determined by the constellation of the GPS satellites. Precision is increased as this level decreases and vice versa. The constellation of the GPS satellites changes constantly and the HDOP level changes accordingly. The GPS/DGPS sensor stops positioning when the HDOP level exceeds the upper level specified in this item. Therefore, if you set a smaller value as the upper limit, the precision is improved, but the possibility of interrupting positioning becomes larger.

AVERAGE (Setting an interval to average the data)

•In this menu, you can set an interval to average the positioning data. If you set a longer interval, the positioning data becomes more stable. If you set a shorter interval, you can reflect your vessel’s movement changes more quickly, though the positioning data becomes less stable.

EXCLUDE SAT (Setting the satellite number not used)

•In this menu, you can set the satellite numbers so that excluded satellites are not used for positioning. The GPS/DGPS sensor does not use these excluded satellites for positioning. The satellite number not used cannot be set by GPS112/DGPS212 themselves.

Section 3 Operation

DGPS SETTING

•In this menu, you can perform the basic settings of the beacon module of the DGPS sensor.

Note:

DATA IN/OUT

•In this menu, you can set the RADAR 1800 so that you can get the data such as water temperature or vessel’s speed, or issue the data in the specified format.

TEMP. IN (Selecting temperature input)

•In this menu, you can select the water temperature data input from the external NMEA source or OFF. When NMEA is selected, the water temperature input from the external water temperature gauge is displayed.

Note:

•When you input the water temperature data from an external water temperature gauge, you need to connect the specified signal line to the NMEA connector on the rear panel. In addition, be sure to check that the NMEA0183 sentences of $xxMTW are output from the connected water temperature gauge. (You can check this easily using the self test mode of the RADAR 1800.)

DEPTH IN (Selecting depth data input)

•In this menu, you can select the depth data input from the external NMEA source or OFF. When NMEA is selected, the depth data input from the external depth gauge is displayed.

Note:

•When you input the depth data from an external water temperature gauge, you need to connect the specified signal line to the NMEA connector on the rear panel. In addition, be sure to check that the NMEA0183 sentences of $xxDPT or $xxDBT are output from the connected water depth gauge. (You can check this easily using the self test mode of the RADAR 1800.)

COURSE IN (Selecting course data input)

•In this menu, you can select the vessel’s course data input from GPS, GPS compass, or magnetic compass. When GPS is selected, the course data is inputted from GPS.

Notes:

•When you select input source to GPS and you use an external NMEA source (select NMEA at POSITION IN menu), you need to connect the specified signal line to the NMEA connector on the rear panel. In addition, be sure to check that the NMEA0183 sentences of $xxHDT, $xxHDG, $xxRMC, or $xxVTG are output from the connected GPS. (You can check this using the self test mode.)

•When you select input source to GPS COMPASS, you need to connect the specified signal line to the DC12V/COMPASS connector on the rear panel. In addition, be sure to check that the NMEA0183 sentences of $xxHDT is output from the connected GPS compass. (You cannot check this using the self test mode.)

•When you select input source to MAG, you need to connect the specified signal line to the DC12V/COMPASS connector on the rear panel. In addition, be sure to check that the NMEA0183 sentences of $xxHDT, $xxHDG, $xxHDM, or $xxVHW are output from the magnetic compass. (You cannot check this using the self test mode.)

Section 3 Operation

POSITION IN (Selecting position input)

•In this menu, you can set the source of the navigation information data such as position, course, geodetic information, etc. The RADAR 1800 provides the GPS/DGPS connector which allows a direct connection of the DGPS212 or GPS112, and the NMEA connector to input the NMEA0183 formatted navigational information data from the external navigation aids. The navigational information input from the connector selected in this item is displayed on the screen. When GPS is selected, the navigational information input from the GPS112 or DGPS212 connected to the GPS/DGPS connector on the rear panel is displayed. When NMEA is selected, the navigational information input from the external navigation aids is displayed.
