Caution Item on Equipment

Caution on a high voltage inside.

A high voltage, which may risk your life, is used. This high voltage

remains in the circuit after you have powered off switch. To prevent

touching the high voltage circuit inadvertently, the protective cover is

provided to the high voltage circuit and the high voltage caution label is

affixed. Ensure to power off switch for your safety and discharge the

electricity remaining in the capacitor before starting to check. An

engineer authorized by our company should inspect and maintain the

circuit.

Ensure to switch off the power in the boat.

If the power switch is inadvertently powered on during work, you will be

electrified. To prevent such accident from occurring, ensure to switch off

the power in the boat and the power of equipment. Furthermore, it is

safer to hang the caution tag with description of [Under Work] near the

power switch of equipment.

Caution on dust

Inhaling dust may cause A respiratory disease. When cleaning the inside

of equipment, be careful not to inhale dust. Wearing a safety mask is

recommended.

Caution on location of equipment

Do not install the equipment where it is excessively damp and suffers

from excessive water drops.

Caution on static electricity

The static electricity may be generated from the carpet on the floor in the

cabin or clothes made of synthetic fiber. The static electricity may

destroy the electronic parts on the circuit board. Handle the circuit board,

taking the suitable anti-static measures.

Caution Item on Handling

Caution on the rotating aerial

The radar antenna may start to rotate without notice. Please

ENGLISH

stand clear from the antenna for your safety.

Caution on electromagnetic disturbance

The operating Antenna & Scanner unit radiates high-energy electromagnetic

wave. It may cause harmful effect for human body due to its continuous

irradiation. As International regulation says, electromagnetic waves less

than 100 watt/m2 does not have a harmful effect on human bodies, but some

kind of medical devices such as heart pacemakers are sensitive even under

the low energy electromagnetic wave. Any personnel with such a device

should keep away from the electromagnetic wave generating position at all

times.

Mise en garde relative aux perturbations électromagnétiques produites

par les radars de navire

L'antenne & l’émetteur des radars de navire ont un rayonnement d’ondes

électromagnétique de haute intensité. Ceci peut causer des effets nocifs pour le

corps humain en raison de son rayonnement continu. Comme la réglementation

internationale le spécifie, les ondes électromagnétiques à moins de 100 watt/m

n'ont pas un effet néfaste sur le corps humain, mais certains types d’appareils

médicaux tels que les stimulateurs cardiaques peuvent être affectes même par des

ondes électromagnétiques de faible énergie. Tout membre du personnel avec un tel

dispositif devrait se tenir à l'écart des générateurs d'ondes électromagnétiques en

tout temps.

MDC-2000A Series For Your Safe Operation

Do not disassemble or modify. It may lead to trouble, fire, smoking or

electric shock. In case of trouble, contact our dealer or our company.

In case of smoke or fire, switch off the power in the boat and the power of

equipment. It may cause fire, electric shock or damage.

Caution on the remaining high voltage.

A high voltage may remain in the capacitor for several minutes after you

have powered off. Before inspecting inside, wait at least 5 minutes after

powering off or discharging the remaining electricity in an appropriate

manner. Then, start the work.

The information displayed in this unit is not provided directly for your

navigation. For your navigation, be sure to see the specified material.

Use the specified fuse. If un-specified fuse is used, it may cause a fire,

smoke or damage.

Caution on Display unit

Do not push or scrub the surface of the Display unit with a pointed tip of a

hard matter (tool, tip of a pen, etc) Scars could be made.

Do not press the surface of the Display unit. Interference stripes or display

abnormality could occur.

Break in procedure of stored radar

Following procedure is recommended for “Break In” of the stored

radar.

Otherwise the radar sometimes exhibits unstable transmitting

operation such as arcing at its initial operation after long period of

storage and make the operation more difficult.

1. Extend preheat time as long as possible (preferably 20 to 30

minutes).

2. Set the pulse length to the shortest one and start the operation.

When the operation in the shortest pulse is stable then go to

operation in longer pulse and repeat the similar step until the

operation reaches to the final pulse condition.

Introduction MDC-2000 Series

Introduction

Thank for your purchase of KODEN color LCD marine radar MDC-2000A Series.

The quality and endurance of a unit is well considered. For the best performance, read this Operation Manual and operate a unit correctly and safely.

The main features of this unit are as follows.

 The high performance radar equipped with 10.4 inch display can be used for professional use.

 In the true trail function, as moving targets such as other ships are displayed being tailed and

stationary targets such as land are displayed being fixed, the moving targets and fixed targets can be easily discriminated.

 Two screen images of different ranges can be displayed. If you set a near distance screen and a far

distance, you can navigate properly and grasp a situation.

 The automatic tracking function (ATA) is provided. The maximum 50 targets can be tracked. The

current motion of other ships can be grasped in a vector and numeral so that it helps your ship to navigate safely. (Optional)

 By connecting the AIS receiver, the gathered information such as name, heading and speed of a

ship can be displayed. (Optional interface)

 With the adoption of a specific filter (AR coat), an image can be seen clearly, refusing sunshine. The

countermeasures against the reflection on the LCD screen and dew are provided.

 The RGB output for an external monitor is provided as standard equipment. The use of the external

monitor enables you to observe easily the radar screen at a location which is remote from a main unit. (External monitor: Prepared by a customer)

 A video from a CCD camera can be displayed. The inside of a ship can be observed by a camera

installed at the engine room helps your ship navigate safely. (CCD camera: Prepared by a customer) (CCD camera cable: Optional)

 With the adoption of the GAIN/STC rotary knob, the operability is enhanced.

 When flush-mounted, a unit can be installed or removed from the front of the unit.
