Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard

The radar antenna sends the electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy. This energy can be dangerous to you, especially your eyes. Do not look at the radiator or near the antenna when the antenna is rotating.

The distances at which RF radiation levels of 100 W/m

, 50 W/m2 and 10 W/m2 exist are shown in

the table below.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Do not open the equipment.

The equipment uses high voltage that can cause electrical shock. Refer any repair work to a qualified technician.

Before turning on the radar, be sure no one is near the antenna.

Prevent the potential risk of being struck by the rotating antenna, which can result in serious injury or death.

If water leaks into the equipment or something is dropped into the equipment, immediately turn off the power at the switchboard.

Fire or electrical shock can result.

If the equipment is giving off smoke or fire, immediately turn off the power at the switchboard.

Fire or electrical shock can result.

If you feel the equipment is acting abnormally or giving off strange noises, immediately turn off the power at the switchboard and contact a service technician.

Do not disassemble or modify the equipment.

Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can result.

Make sure no rain or water splash leaks into the equipment.

Fire or electrical shock can result if water leaks into the equipment.

Do not place liquid-filled containers on or near the equipment.

Fire or electrical shock can result if a liquid spills into the equipment.

Do not operate the equipment with wet hands.

Electrical shock can result.

Keep objects away from the antenna unit, so as not to impede rotation of the antenna.

Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can result.

Use the proper fuse.

Use of the wrong fuse can cause fire or electrical shock.

CAUTION

The data from AIS are intended for reference purposes only.

Check all available navigation aids to determine target movement.

Do not depend on one navigation device for the navigation of the ship. The navigator must check all aids available to confirm position.

- The TT (Target Tracking) automatically tracks an automatically or manually acquired radar target and calculates its course and speed, indicating them with a vector. Since the data generated by the TT depends on the selected radar targets, the radar must be optimally tuned for use with the TT, to ensure required targets will not be lost or unnecessary targets like sea returns and noise will not be acquired and tracked.

- A target is not always a landmass, reef, ship, but can also be returns from the sea surface and from clutter. As the level of clutter changes with the environment, the operator must correctly adjust the sea and rain clutter controls and the gain control so that the target echoes do not disappear from the radar screen.

iii

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The TT tracks and plots the movement of up to 100 radar targets and fully complies with IMO standards for TT. Tracking accuracy is affected by the following:

▪ Tracking accuracy is affected by course

change. One to two minutes is required to restore vectors to full accuracy after an abrupt course change. (The actual amount depends on gyrocompass specifications.)

- Echo intensity

- Radar transmission pulse width

- Radar bearing error

- Gyrocompass error

- Course change (own ship and target)

▪ The amount of tracking delay is inversely

proportional to the relative speed of the target. Delay is approx. 15-30 seconds for the higher relative speed; approx. 30-60 seconds for the lower relative speed. The following factors can affect accuracy:

The data generated by TT and AIS are intended for reference only.

Refer to official nautical charts for detailed and up-to-date information.

1.3 How to Transmit

To transmit, press the STBY/TX key while [STBY] is displayed. Radar echoes are displayed on the screen with the previously used settings of range.

Each press of the STBY/TX key switches between stand-by and transmit (You can also switch between stand-by and transmission by clicking the [STBY/TX] indication.). The antenna is stopped in stand-by, and rotates in transmission.

The magnetron in the antenna unit generates the radar pulses and decays over time. To extend the life of the magnetron, keep the radar in stand-by when its use is not required.

1.4 Radar Display Indications

The illustration below shows all the icons and symbols (both in the [RIVER] and [SEA] modes) that may appear on the display. Some icons or symbols may not be shown depending on the display mode.

1.10.2 Orientation mode

Relative motion (RM)

In relative motion, own ship position is stationary on the screen to observe relative motion of surrounding targets.

• HEAD UP The head-up mode is a display in which the line connecting own ship and the top of the display indicates own ship's heading. The target pips are painted at their measured distances and in their directions relative to own ship's heading.The short line on the bearing scale is the north marker, which indicates heading sensor north.

North mark

Heading line

North mark

Heading line

• HEAD UP (TB)

• STERN UP

• NORTH UP

Radar echoes are shown in the same way as in the head-up mode. The difference from normal head-up presentation lies in the orientation of the bearing scale. The bearing scale rotates in accordance with the heading sensor signal, enabling you to know own ship's heading at a glance. This mode is available when the radar is interfaced with a gyro heading sensor. If the gyro heading sensor fails, the bearing scale returns to the state of head-up mode.

A display without azimuth stabilization in which the line that connects the center with the top of the display indicates your stern.

The north-up mode paints target pips at their measured distances and in their true (heading sensor) directions from own ship, north bearing is fixed at the top of the screen. The heading line changes its direction according to the ship's heading. This mode requires heading signal. If the compass fails, the orientation mode changes to head-up and the north marker disappears.

• COURSE UP The course-up mode is an azimuth stabilized display in which a line connecting the center with the top of the display indicates own ship's intended course (namely, own ship's previous heading just before this mode has been selected).Target pips are painted at their measured distances and in their directions relative to the intended course, which is maintained at the 0degree position. The heading line moves in accordance with ship's yawing and course change.

True motion (TM)

• NORTH UP Ground (or water mass) is stabilized with compass and speed inputs. Your ship and other objects in motion move with their true courses and speed.

• COURSE UP Own ship and other moving objects move in accordance with their true courses and speed. In ground stabilized TM, all fixed targets, such as landmasses, appear as stationary echoes. In the sea stabilized TM without set and drift inputs, the landmass can move on the screen.

The reflected echoes from the waves appear around your ship and are called “sea clutter”. The sea clutter extends according to the height of waves and antenna above the water. When the sea clutter hides the targets, reduce the clutter, either manually or automatically.

1. Click the STC mode icon at the bottom right corner on the screen to show [MAN] or [AUTO] as appropriate.

2. For manual adjustment, rotate the setting knob to adjust the sea clutter so that the clutter is broken into small dots, and small targets become identified. If the setting is too low, targets are hidden in the clutter. If the setting is too high, both sea clutter and targets disappear from the display. Normally adjust the control until the clutter has disappeared to leeward, but a small amount of the clutter is visible windward. For auto mode, the setting range is -50 to 50. For manual mode, 0 to 100.

STC PRESET

You can tune STC properly with the [STC PRESET] function.

1. Click the STC mode icon to set [MAN] (Manual mode).

2. Put the cursor on the STC setting box at the bottom right corner on the screen.

1.15 How to Reduce the Rain Clutter

The reflections from the rain or snow appear on the screen. These reflected echoes are called “rain clutter”. When the rain clutter is strong, targets in the rain clutter are hidden in the clutter. Reflections from the rain clutter are easily identified from true targets by their wool-like appearance.

The rain control breaks the continuous display of rain or snow reflections into a random pattern. When the rain clutter hides the targets, adjust the rain control (automatic or manual) to reduce the clutter.

1. Click the rain mode icon at the bottom right corner on the screen to show [MAN] or [AUTO] as appropriate.

1.17 FTC (Fast Time Constant)

If you can not effectively suppress rain clutter with the rain clutter control, use the FTC function. In adverse weather, clouds, rain or snow produce spray-like spurious echoes which impair target detection over a long distance. These echoes can be suppressed by turning on the FTC circuit. There are two FTC settings, [FTC1] and [FTC2]. [FTC2] provides increased rain clutter suppression.

Click the [FTC] icon at the bottom right corner on the screen to select an appropriate FTC setting.

1.18 How to Measure the Range to a Target (VRM)

You can measure the range to a target by two methods: fixed range rings and the VRM (Variable Range Marker).

How to measure the range with the fixed range rings

Use the fixed range rings to get a rough estimate of the range to a target. The fixed range rings are the concentric solid circles about your ship. The number of rings changes with the selected range scale. The interval of the range ring is displayed at the upper-left corner of the screen. Count the number of rings between the center of the display and the target. Check the range ring interval and measure the distance of the echo from the nearest ring.

How to measure the range with a VRM

There are two VRMs, VRM1 and VRM2. The VRMs are dashed so that you can identify them from the fixed range rings. You can identify VRM1 from VRM2 by the lengths of their dashes. The dashes of the VRM1 are shorter than those of the VRM2.

1. Click the [VRM] icon to display the VRM. If the VRM already appears, go to step 2.

5. To delete a VRM, put the cursor on the appropriate VRM indication then long press the left button (or long press the VRM key).

Note: If the corresponding EBL is displayed, the VRM is deleted and the value of VRM remains.

1.19 How to Measure the Bearing to a Target (EBL)

Use the Electronic Bearing Line (EBL) to take a bearing of a target. There are two EBLs, EBL1 and EBL2. Each EBL is a straight dashed line from the center of the screen to the edge. The dashes of the EBL1 are shorter than those of the EBL2.

The radar interference can occur when your ship is near the radar of another ship that operates on the same frequency band with your radar. The interference shows on the screen as many bright dots. The dots can be random or in the shape of dotted lines that run from the center to the edge of the display. You can identify the interference from the normal echoes, because the interference does not appear in the same location on the next antenna rotation. When this feature is turned on, "IR 1", "IR 2" or "IR 3" appears at the bottom right corner on the screen.

Click the IR (Interference Rejection) icon to switch the setting among [IR OFF], [IR 1], [IR 2], [IR 3]. [IR 3] provides the highest degree of interference rejection.

1.24 Echo Averaging

To identify true target echoes from the sea clutter, echoes are averaged over successive picture frames. If an echo is solid and stable, the echo is shown in its normal intensity. The brilliance of sea clutter is reduced to easily identify true targets from the sea clutter.

Note 1: Do not use the echo average function under heavy pitching and rolling to prevent loss of targets.

Note 2: This feature requires a heading signal and position data. When either signal becomes lost, echo average is deactivated.

To correctly use the echo average function, first reduce the sea clutter properly. Leave a little sea clutter on the screen so as not to erase weak targets. Then, do as follows:

1.37.1 About the SD cards

• Use SD cards carefully. Wrong use can damage the card and destroy its contents.

• Make sure the cover of the card drive is closed at all times.

• Remove a card with only your fingers. Do not use metal tools (like tweezers) to remove the card.

• Do not remove a card during the reading of the card or writing to the card.

• If there is water at the bottom of the card cover, DO NOT open the cover. Remove the water with a dry cloth completely and then open the cover.

• The SD cards with the SD or SDHC logo can be used (max. 32 GB). Some SD cards may not work correctly depending on the card type or maker. The memory cards in the table below have been tested and confirmed:

How to format an SD card

You need to format an SD card for use with your PC. If the card becomes corrupted, format the card with a formatting program that is compatible with the specifications of the SD card. The SD Memory Card Formatting Software made by Panasonic is an example.

How to set an SD card

The processor unit has two slots for SD cards. The [SD-1] is upper slot and [SD-2] is lower.

1. Pull the tab on the card drive on the processor unit to open the card drive.

2. Put the SD card in the either card drive, [SD-1] or [SD-2], with the label upward. If

the card does not set easily, do not use force.

3. Push the card until the card is in position.

How to remove an SD card

To remove an SD card, select [SD-1] or [SD-2] from the [REMOVE EXTERNAL MEDIA] menu. There are two methods to open [REMOVE EXTERNAL MEDIA] as follows.

• [MAIN MENU]–[FILES]–[REMOVE EXTERNAL MEDIA]

• [MAIN MENU]–[CAPTURE]–[REMOVE EXTERNAL MEDIA]

1. On [FILES] or [CAPTURE] menu, select [REMOVE EXTERNAL MEDIA].

2. Select the SD card to remove, [SD-1] or [SD-2].

Note: Select the same card as the card selected on the [DRIVE SELECT] menu.

1.37.2 How to save and replay the data

All SD card operations begin from the [FILES] menu. The [FILES] menu is available in stand-by mode.

Note: All settings, except for [BRILL 1-1] and [CUSTOM 1-1], are stored when the radar is turned off. If you want to keep all settings, including [BRILL 1-1] and [CUSTOM 1-1], save the settings to an SD card before turning off the radar. Then replay the saved settings after turning on the radar.

• [DRIVE SELECT]: Click the drive [SD-1] or [SD-2] to use. The [SD-1] is upper slot and [SD-2] is lower.

• [DRIVE INFO]: Confirm the remaining capacity of the SD card selected at [DRIVE SELECT].

• [SAVE DATA]: Save the file stored on the following file group set at [NAME]. Set the name with the software keyboard. Click the [END] key to complete the name setting. [MARK/LINE]* (see the figure shown right) [SETTING DATA] [ALARM HISTORY] [LOG FILE]

• [REPLAY (READ) DATA]: Select the data group in the SD card, [MARK/LINE]* or [SETTING DATA], then select the file to replay (read).

Note: The SD card data can only be read by the processor unit where the card is inserted. To allow another radar to read SD card data (via the Interswitch), insert the SD card then disconnect and reconnect the network.

2.10.1 Description of vectors

Sea stabilization is a mode where own ship and all targets are referenced to the sea using a compass heading and single-axis log water speed inputs. Ground stabilization is a mode where own ship and all targets are referenced to the ground using the ground track or set and drift inputs. If the accuracy seems unsatisfactory, enter set and drift corrections.

True vector

Own ship and other ships move on the display at their true speeds and courses. This mode is useful for distinguishing moving targets from stationary ones.

Relative vector

Other ships move relative to your ship. This mode is useful for finding ships on a collision course with your ship. A ship whose vector passes through your ship's position is on a collision course.
