SAFETY NOTICES
This radar equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with the
instructions contained in this manual. Failure to do so can result in personal
injury and/or navigational inaccuracies. In particular:
1. HIGH VOLTAGE. The CRT display unit and scanner unit contain high
voltages. Adjustments require specialised service procedures and tools only
available to qualified service technicians – there are no user serviceable parts or
adjustments.
The operator should never remove the display unit cover or attempt to
service the equipment. If the safety seal fitted across one of the display cover
fixing screws is damaged or missing, contact a qualified service technician
before the equipment is powered.
i
2. X-RAYS. X-Rays are generated by this equipment. The acceleration voltage
must not exceed 12 kV. No external access is provided to the controls which
affect this voltage - see note 1 above.
3. ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY. The radar scanner transmits
electromagnetic energy. It is important that the radar is turned off whenever
personnel are required to come close to the scanner to perform work on the
scanner assembly or associated equipment.
It is recommended that the radar scanner is mounted out of range of personnel
(above head height).
Avoid looking directly at the antenna as your eyes are the most sensitive part of
the body to electromagnetic energy.
When properly installed and operated, the use of this radar will conform to the
requirements of ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 Standard for Safety Levels with
Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3Hz
to 300 GHz and NRPB, Board Statement on Restrictions on Human Exposure
to Static and Time Varying Electromagnetic Fields and Radiation. Doc NRPB,
No. 5 (1993)
4. NAVIGATION AID. This radar/chartplotter unit is only an aid to
navigation. Its accuracy can be affected by many factors, including equipment
failure or defects, environmental conditions, and improper handling or use. It is

the user’s responsibility to exercise common prudence and navigational
judgements. This radar/chartplotter unit should not be relied upon as a
substitute for such prudence and judgement.
5. FUSES. For continued protection against risk of fire, replace fuses with the
correct type and rating, as specified in Appendix 1.
6. DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS. Do not burn the CRT Display unit. It
contains beryllium copper and plastics which produce toxic fumes. It is also
possible for the CRT tube to implode.

Chapter 1: Overview
1.1 Introduction
This handbook describes the following HSB Series systems:
R70 Pathfinder Radar, 7" CRT display
R80 Pathfinder Radar, 10" CRT display
R70RC Combined Pathfinder Radar/Chartplotter, 7" CRT display
R80RC Combined Pathfinder Radar/Chartplotter, 10" CRT display
If you have an HSB Series CRT display, it is possible to connect another HSB
series LCD or CRT display to provide an integrated system. Connecting an
HSB Series Pathfinder Radar display to a chartplotter provides similar
functionality to the Combined Pathfinder Radar/Chartplotter display; the radar
data can be repeated on the chart display and chart data repeated on the radar
display.
If you are using the CRT display unit as a repeater display refer to this handbook
for details on the operating controls.
This handbook describes the display unit controls and details both radar and
chart operations. Controls that are specific to either radar or chartplotter are
described in radar or chart sections/chapters.
Note: Many illustrations in this handbook show example screens. The screen
you see on your display depends on your system configuration and set up
options, so it may differ from the illustration.
Overview
Chapter 1
How to Use This Handbook
For an overview of the display unit, the radar and the chartplotter systems, read
Chapters 1 and 2 of this handbook. Having read these chapters you should be
able to start using your system.
For detailed information on radar operations refer to Chapters 3 and 4.
For chartplotter operating details, refer to Chapters 5 and 6.
To change the system set up defaults, read Chapter 7.
If you are installing the display system yourself, you should read Chapter 8
before you start the installation. This chapter also provides information that will
be useful if you are connecting your HSB Series system to other equipment.
Details for installing a radar scanner are provided in the Scanner User’s
Handbook supplied with your scanner.

Chapter 2 explains how to start using the display and describes how to use
some of the basic radar and chart functions. Chapter 2 also provides operating
guidelines for typical chartplotter scenarios; these guidelines introduce you to
many of the chartplotter functions.
Chapters 3 provides detailed operating information for the main radar
functions - adjusting the radar picture; measuring distances and bearings;
setting guard zones and alarms; and, on the 10" CRT, using MARPA.
Chapter 4 provides detailed operating information for integrated radar system
functions, including using marks, man overboard and cursor echo.
Chapter 5 provides detailed operating information for the standard chartplotter
functions - using chart cards, plotting waypoints and routes, following routes
and showing tracks.
Chapter 6 provides detailed operating information for further chart functions,
including measuring distances, man overboard and cursor echo. It includes
instructions for setting up a differential GPS.
Chapter 7 provides instructions for setting up your system to suit your
preferences. You should read this chapter to determine how to set up the radar

HSB Series CRT Display
Display Unit
The HSB Series Pathfinder Radar or combined Pathfinder Radar/Chartplotter
display unit is waterproof to CFR46 and can be installed either above or below
deck.
The CRT Unit includes:
• 7" or 10" CRT display
• Trackball
• Nine dedicated (labelled) control keys
• Three dedicated (labelled) rotary controls
• Four soft keys (unlabelled) whose functionality changes
• The Combined Pathfinder Radar/Chartplotter includes two slots for the C-
®
MAP NT
The trackball and keys can be illuminated for night-time use.
The HSB (High Speed Bus) connection enables transfer of data between two
compatible units. For example, the radar data is transferred from the radar (the
master display) via the HSB connection and can be displayed and controlled on
any other HSB Series LCD or CRT display (repeater display). In particular, you
can connect your HSB Series Pathfinder Radar to a remote HSB Series
Chartplotter to provide similar functionality to the combined Pathfinder Radar/
Chartplotter.

Full functionality of the HSB Series Pathfinder Radar is achieved when it is part
of an integrated system, with other equipment (in addition to another HSB unit)
connected via Seatalk or NMEA 0183. Data from this equipment including
position is displayed on the radar/chartplotter and is used in calculations.
Details on connecting other equipment are given in Chapter 8.
Scanner
The HSB Series Pathfinder Radar is supplied with a scanner unit which
illuminates targets with microwave energy and then collects the returns from
those targets. The scanner includes a sensitive low-noise front end receiver, and
a variety of clutter attenuation controls to maintain target resolution.
Installation of the scanner is described separately in the Scanner Owner’s
Handbook. The scanner is adjusted and operated from the display unit, so these
details are provided in this HSB Series CRT Display Handbook.
The scanner can be switched between transmit and standby modes. It also has a
power-saving timed transmit mode which pauses between bursts of
transmissions.

1.2 The Pathfinder Radar Display
When a scanner is connected and the radar is in Transmit mode, the radar
picture provides a map-like presentation of the area in which the radar is
operating. Typically, your ship’s position is at the centre of the display, and its
dead ahead bearing is indicated by a vertical heading line, known as the Ship’s
Heading Marker (SHM).
The radar picture can be viewed with a variety of fixed or customised range
scales. A status bar at the top of the radar image displays range, current heading
and mode indicators for the various options you can set.
An example radar picture is shown on the next page, with example radar returns
(echoes) and default Pathfinder Radar information. The Status Bar indicator is
also illustrated.
The radar display can show additional information, depending on your
currently selected options, set up selections and the data available from other
equipment. The example displays on the following pages show some of these
features.
