The table shows stabilization modes available for each speed source type. Any restrictions for a source are detailed under each speed source description in the following sections.

Speed source

Stabilization mode available

Restrictions

Speed LOG (Single axis) Sea None

Speed LOG (Dual axis)

Sea and Ground (depending on the transducer)

None

EPFS Ground None

Primary speed source (A), secondary speed source (B) and stabilization mode (C) are shown in the Own ship information panel.

Speed LOG

The speed LOG can be Single or Dual axis input, either water track or bottom track. Therefore the stabilization mode available can be either Sea or Ground depending on the sensor in use.

Note: The speed through water measured close to the hull is affected by the tide and by

the current, so from time to time it will differ significantly from speed over the ground. A Speed Log measuring speed through water may in specific cases be affected by poor conditions due to e.g. air or ice below the sensor. If the sensor measures only the longitudinal component of the speed, the transversal ship component is unknown to the radar.

EPFS

The EPFS provides True Speed and True Course Over Ground.

Basic operation | R2009/R3016 User manual

Adjusting the radar image

You may improve the radar image by adjusting the gain, by filtering out unwanted echoes due to sea clutter, rain or other weather conditions, and by tuning the sensitivity of the radar receiver.

Note: Tuning is only available for HD radar sensors.

Note: The radar image settings do not affect the AIS targets.

Sea and rain clutter could be present at the same time and further degradation in detection performance will be experienced. As sea clutter is related to short range and rain clutter is usually present in a longer range, rain clutter settings can be adjusted without affecting the echoes in the sea clutter area.

Some functions include both a manual and an automatic mode. It is recommended to use the manual mode only if the automatic mode doesn't provide satisfactory results.

The radar image is controlled by dedicated softkeys as described in the next sections.

Note: It is recommended to turn Trails OFF when you adjust the radar image as trails

might hinder the proper video adjustment feedback.

Gain

The Gain option controls the sensitivity of the radar receiver. A higher gain makes the radar more sensitive to radar echoes, allowing it to display weaker targets. If the gain is set too high, the image might be cluttered with background noise.

Note: The Gain control shall not be used to clean the picture from sea or rain clutter.

The value of the Gain should be set so that the background noise is just visible on the radar panel.

At start-up of the system, the Gain is 80% in order to receive the optimum noise level.

Gain has a manual and an automatic mode. You adjust the gain by using the GAIN softkey:

• Press the softkey once to activate the function, then turn the rotary knob to manually

adjust the setting

• Press and hold the softkey to turn on/off the automatic option

• Press the softkey twice to display the Gain pop-up, then press the ENT key to turn on/off

the automatic option

Rain anti-clutter

Rain anti-clutter is used to reduce the effect of rain, snow or other weather conditions on the radar image. When you increase the value, the sensitivity of the long distance field clutter caused by rain is reduced. The value should not be increased too much as this may filter out real targets.

Rain anti-clutter has no automatic mode. You adjust the rain anti-clutter by using the RAIN softkey:

• Press the softkey once to activate the function, then turn the rotary knob to manually

adjust the setting.

Sea anti-clutter

The Sea anti-clutter option is used to filter the effect of random echo returns from waves or rough water near the vessel. When you increase the value, the sensitivity of the near field clutter caused by waves is reduced. If the value is increased too much, both sea clutter and targets will disappear from the display and targets around own ship may not show potentially dangerous targets.

Adjusting the radar image | R2009/R3016 User manual

Warning: At increasing levels of sea clutter, some targets cannot be

detected even by means of the Sea anti-clutter filtering, since buoys or other small objects are producing echoes of a level lower than the ones coming from waves.

The value of the Sea anti-clutter should be set so that the clutter is seen as small dots, and small targets will become distinguishable around the ship.

Sea anti-clutter has a manual and an automatic mode, and the system includes predefined settings for Calm, Moderate and Rough sea state conditions.

In Auto mode the Sea anti-clutter can be manually adjusted by the rotary knob to fine tune the settings to achieve the best possible clutter cancellation. The text within the control icon will then change from AUTO to A ± XX indicating that the setting is adjusted to remove a superior or an inferior amount of clutter.

You adjust the sea clutter by using the SEA softkey:

• Press the softkey once to activate the function, then turn the rotary knob to manually

adjust the setting

• Press and hold the softkey to turn on/off the automatic option

• Press the softkey twice to display the Sea pop-up, then:

- press the ENT key to turn on/off the automatic option

- use the rotary knob to fine tune the setting in automatic mode

- use the arrow keys to select the Sea state option, then press the ENT key to toggle

through the predefined sea state conditions

Tune

Note: Tuning is only required for HD radar sensors.

You can tune the radar receiver to have maximum target returns on the screen.

Tuning has a manual and an automatic mode.

In automatic tuning mode, the transceiver performs a tuning of the receiver when the range scale changes.

Manual tuning should only be used if the automatic tuning fails. The tuning should not be performed earlier than 10 minutes after the radar has been switched on. Manual tuning is best done by a long pulse setting (range set to 24 NM), and by using a high level of gain. In this condition, adjust the tuning control to obtain the maximum signal strength.

You adjust the tuning from the Tune sub-menu.

Adjusting the radar image | R2009/R3016 User manual

Radar view options

Several radar view options are available from the View sub menu, activated by pressing the

View softkey.

Target trails and past position

You select how the radar targets are displayed on the radar image in the Trails and past position sub menu. See "Display settings for radar targets" on page 25.

Radar orientation

Selected radar orientation is shown in the System information panel (A).

Head-up

In Head-up mode the heading line on the PPI is oriented on the 0° on the bearing scale and towards the top of the screen. The radar image is displayed relative to own ship, and when the ship turns the radar image rotates.

Note: Head-up is only available in Relative motion mode, and it is the only orientation

mode available if the radar is not connected to a heading source.

North up

In North up mode the 0° indication on the PPI represents north. The heading line on the PPI is oriented according to own ship heading obtained from the gyro compass. When the ship turns the heading line changes its direction according to the ship's heading, while the radar image remains stabilized.

The North up orientation is not available if no heading source is connected to the radar. If heading data is lost, the system will automatically switch to Head-up orientation.

Course up

In Course up mode, the top of the bearing scale indicates the ship’s true course measured from north at the time Course up was activated. When the ship turns the bearing scale remains fixed, while the heading line rotates with the ship's yawing and course change.

The Course up orientation is reset by re-selecting the Course up mode.

Radar motion mode

Selected radar motion mode is shown in the System information panel (B).

Relative motion

In Relative motion your vessel remains in a fixed location on the Radar PPI, and all other objects move relative to your position.

You select the position of the fixed location as described in "Offsetting the PPI center" on page 22.

Radar view options | R2009/R3016 User manual

True motion

In True motion your vessel and all moving targets move across the Radar PPI as you travel. All stationary objects remain in a fixed position. When the vessel’s symbol reaches 75% of the PPI radius (A), the radar image is redrawn with the vessel symbol re-positioned (B) 180° opposite the current heading bearing.

When True motion is selected, the True motion reset option is available from the menu. This allows for manually resetting the radar image and vessel symbol to its starting position.

Note: True motion is only available when the PPI is in either North Up or Course Up

orientation mode.

Offsetting the PPI center

You can set the antenna position origin to different location on the radar PPI. The options described in the next sections are available.

Note: Offsetting the PPI center is allowed only in Relative motion.

PPI center: Center PPI center: Look Ahead PPI Center: Offset

You return the antenna center to PPI center by using the Reset offset option in the View menu.

Center

The Center option resets the antenna position to the center of the PPI.

Look ahead

The Look ahead option is used to maximize the view ahead of the vessel. When selected the PPI center is placed at 70% of the radius of the PPI, 180° opposite the top of the display.

Note: Look ahead is only available for Heading Up radar orientation.

Offset to cursor position

This option allows you to use the cursor for selecting the antenna center. When the option is selected the PPI center is immediately moved to the cursor position.

Vectors

A target vector indicates the expected target movement within a defined time. The vectors are computed by multiplying the target speed with the set time value.

Radar view options | R2009/R3016 User manual

You can select to show target vectors with true or relative speed, and you can set the length of the vector. The length represents the vessel movement within the given time period.

Vector settings are shown in the Target indicators panel (A).

Note: True speed indication is not possible if there is a Gyro or Speed source failure. If the

vectors are in true presentation and one of the sensors (gyro or speed log) fails, the presentation is automatically switched to relative.

Cursor bearings

You can select to show the cursor bearings as True or Relative to own vessel.

Note: True can only be selected when a gyro is available.

Target tracking

Radar targets and AIS targets are used to estimate the relative speed and direction, and the system can alert the user about potentially dangerous targets and loss of communication with an AIS target.

Managing targets

When the cursor is active, you can use the ENT key for acquiring radar targets.

• Press the ENT key once to acquire the target at cursor position without displaying the

Cursor ENTER menu

• Press and hold the ENT key to display the Cursor ENTER menu.

The items in the Cursor ENTER menu depends on if a target is positioned at the cursor position, the type of target, and the status of the target.

If more than one target is located at cursor position, the menu will show the targets' reference number.

No target at cursor position One target at cursor position Two radar targets at cursor position

Selecting and de-selecting targets

AIS targets and tracked radar targets can be selected, but only one target can be selected at a time. When a target is selected the target symbol will change to selected target, and the Targets panel will show detailed information for the target.

You de-select a target and remove the detailed target information in the Target Panel by selecting the deselect target option in the Cursor ENTER menu.

Defining dangerous vessels

You can use the CPA (Closest point of approach) and TCPA (Time to closest point of approach) values to define when a target should be considered as dangerous. When a radar or AIS target comes within this distance, the symbol changes to the “dangerous” target symbol.

Radar targets

Any radar echo can be acquired and tracked.

Acquiring radar targets

The acquire target option is used for acquiring any targets within the radar range.

To start tracking a radar target, move the cursor to the target and then either:

• Press the ENT key once to acquire the selected target without displaying the Cursor

ENTER menu

• Press and hold the ENT key to display the Cursor ENTER menu, the select the Acquire

target menu option

There might be a delay after having selected the target before the system received stable target data:

Target tracking | R2009/R3016 User manual

• After 1 minute the symbol will show a trend vector, and speed and course of the trend will

be shown in the Target panel

• After 3 minutes the symbol will become steady, and all the data fields of selected targets

will be available. The target symbol will change to tracked radar target symbol

The above time references represent worst case situations. In a stable situation the radar target information is available immediately.

Note: The CPA/TCPA anti-collision functions will be enabled for tracked radar targets.

Radar target symbols

The following symbols are used for radar targets in the system:

Symbol Description

Tracked Radar target with velocity vector.

Selected Radar target, indicated with a square (dotted line)

around the target symbol.

Dangerous Radar target indicated with bold line and with red color.The symbol flashes until the target alarm is acknowledged by the operator. It remains red until the system no longer defines it as a dangerous target.

Lost Radar target, indicated with crossed lines centered on the target symbol. The symbol is located at the last received position from the target.

Display settings for radar targets

You select how the radar targets are displayed on the radar image in the Trails and past position sub menu.

The settings are indicated in the Indicators panel.

Trails and past position presentation mode

Trails and past position indicators can be displayed as either true or relative to own ship.

Trails and past position indicators are available in both Sea and Ground stabilization modes. See "Selecting speed source and stabilization mode" on page 18.

Target trails

A target trail indicates the target movement by leaving an afterglow, gradually reducing the intensity over time.

Target trails show where a target used to be, and the function is useful for quickly assessing the movement of targets relative to your own vessel.

You can set the length of the trails. The length represents the time it takes for the trails to fade out.

The Clear trails option clears target trails from your radar panel temporarily. The trails start to build up again unless you switch the function off.

Target tracking | R2009/R3016 User manual

Showing a target's past positions

The Past position option is used to visualize the previous positions of a tracked target or an activated AIS target.

The time defines the length of time for which each target's past positions should be displayed on the PPI, while the interval defines interval between each past position indicator.

Warning: Trails build-up starts when exiting from the standby condition.

Trails or past position length will be reached only after the selected time duration.

Possible target tracking errors

Some factors can generate tracking errors or make the radar image difficult to read, and therefore reduce target detection capability:

• Sea, rain, snow and low clouds returns

• Radar Interference

• Sidelobe echoes

• Blind sectors

• Low signal to noise ratio and signal to clutter ratio

Warning: The speed and course of a radar target are obtained by

consecutive measurements of the echo position. The data is then filtered to reach the required precision. This means, that every abrupt change of speed and direction will be recognized with a certain delay to reach absolute certainty that the target is moving in a different way. The confirmation delay is about five scans and after that some additional time is needed to reach the same data precision as from before the maneuver.

Sea, rain, snow and low clouds returns

Radar echoes in sea, rain or weather clutter areas may be masked by the clutter. The effects of such errors appear as continuous big changes of the target course and speed vectors. Sometimes the symbol of a target that has been acquired at high speed can slip away from the real target position after a certain time, and this might generate the lost target alarm.

These errors can be avoided or at least minimized by proper manual adjustments of sea and rain controls, or by selecting the automatic control option. For more details, see "Adjusting the radar image" on page 19.

Radar interference

Other radars operating in the same frequency band can generate interference. Normally this is seen on the radar screen as a series of spirals. When the interference falls on the tracked target, it can cause a deformation of the size of the echo, and consequently a small error in the target's course and speed values.

Adjustment option is available in the Advanced menu. See "Rejecting radar interference" on page

34.

Sidelobe echoes

Radar antennas have a radiation pattern consisting of a main lobe and several very small sidelobes. Most of the energy transmitted by the radar is radiated and received back on the main lobe, and a very small part on the sidelobes. This has no effect in case of distant or small targets, but the returns from a large target at short range (less than 3 NM) can generate, on both sides of the main echo and at the same range, arcs or series of small echoes. These effects, when they are an extension of the main echo, can cause momentary errors for the tracking, and course and speed values given by the tracking can become unstable.

The problem can usually be eliminated or strongly reduced by an accurate adjustment of the Sea control. Refer "Sea anti-clutter" on page 19.

Target tracking | R2009/R3016 User manual

Blind sectors

Funnels, masts or other obstructions (when located near the radar antenna) may cause blind or shadow sectors, where the target visibility may be completely lost or strongly reduced. Targets remaining in these sectors for long time (more than 10 antenna revolutions) will be considered lost, and the lost target alert will be triggered.

Low signal to noise ratio and signal to clutter ratio

In situations where the signal to noise or the signal to clutter ratio of the radar echoes is low (small vessels in heavy sea or rain clutter, or big vessels close to the radar horizon), target detection is poor and the tracking will not detect the target at each antenna revolution. This will cause errors in the tracking, and it can range from missed information and up to complete loss of the target when it is missed for 10 consecutive antenna revolutions.

AIS targets

If a compatible AIS receiver is connected to the radar system, any targets detected by these devices can be displayed and tracked. You can set alarms to notify you if an AIS target gets too close or if the target is lost.

The system can display up to 20 AIS targets. An alert is triggered if the number of AIS targets exceeds 95% of the maximum system limitation.

By default, all AIS targets are shown on the panel if an AIS device is connected to the system and the AIS function turned ON. You can select to filter AIS targets as described in "AIS target filtering" on page 28.

The AIS function is available when:

• AIS data is available through the serial line

• Gyro compass heading is available. If gyro heading is lost the AIS function is automatically

switched OFF

• EPFS valid position is available

AIS target symbols

The following icons are used for AIS targets in the system:

Symbol Description

AIS target with heading line, SOG/COG (dotted line) and passed

track.

AIS target with heading line and SOG/COG (dotted line), and with indicated turn direction.

Selected AIS target, indicated with a square (dotted line) around the target symbol.

Real ATON (Aids To Navigation)

Lost AIS target, indicated with crossed lines centered on the target

symbol. The symbol is located at the last received position from the target.

Note: A symbol is drawn with a dotted line if the collision avoidance cannot be

calculated.

Target tracking | R2009/R3016 User manual

AIS target filtering

By default, all AIS targets are shown on the panel if an AIS device is connected to the system and the AIS function turned ON.

You can select to filter the icons based on range and target speed from the AIS sub menu.

Displaying target information

The Target panel

By default the Target panel displays basic information about four targets. The panel displays both tracked radar targets and AIS targets, listed by distance to own vessel.

When you select a radar or an AIS target, the Target panel changes to show detailed information for the selected target. This information remains in the Target panel until the target is de-selected.

EBL/VRM markers

The EBL/VRM markers are a basic tool for collision avoidance. They are used to mark any fixed or moving radar target, and to measure distances between two objects.

The EBL/VRM markers are by default positioned at the center of the vessel. It is, however, possible to offset the reference point to any selected position on the radar image to measure the distance between two objects on the PPI, or to fix the marker to a target.

Two different EBL/VRMs can be placed on the radar image. They are identified as dashed rings/lines with different colors to be able to discriminate them from each other and from the fixed range rings:

• EBM/VRM1 is cyan

• EBL/VRM2 is blue

The EBL presentation can be defined with true or relative presentation:

Navigation tools | R2009/R3016 User manual

• True motion: the reference is geographic (e.g. a coastal line or current own vessel position)

• Relative motion: the EBL follows a moving reference (own vessel or a moving target)

The markers' line width indicates whether the marker is in edit mode (bold lines) or at a fixed position (thin lines).

Measuring range and bearing

Different options are available for measuring the position, speed, course, distance and bearing of radar echoes.

• Cursor position

• Range rings and bearing scale

• EBL (Electronic Bearing Lines) and VRM (Variable Range Markers)

It is important to minimize the range to obtain the best precision for the measurement. In most cases you can use a higher range if you position the PPI in one of the off-center modes. Refer "Offsetting the PPI center" on page 22.

Note: Every measurement made with cursor or EBL/VRM is always referred to the

Consistent Common Reference Point (CCRP).

Using the cursor

When you position the cursor over an echo, the cursor information area will show range and bearing from the vessel to the cursor position.

This measuring option gives a fast and precise measurement of distance to a target.

Range rings and bearing scale

Range rings and bearing scale is used to measure distance when a fast measurement is required. This measuring option gives only an approximate distance and speed of a target.

The range scale (A) and the distance between two adjacent range rings (B) are shown in the System Information are on the radar image.

The range scales, the related distance between the range rings and number of rings are:

Use modes

Note: Radar User modes are only available for Halo radar antennas.

Use modes are available with preset control settings for different environments. The following modes are available:

• Custom - In this mode all radar controls can be adjusted and will be retained after a mode

change or radar power cycle. Radar defaults are set for general purpose use.

• Harbor - In this mode the radar settings are optimized for areas such as busy waterways

and large man-made structures where good target discrimination and rapid image updates are needed.

• Offshore - In this mode the radar settings are optimized for offshore sea conditions and

making isolated targets larger and easy to see.

• Weather - In this mode the radar settings are optimized for best detection and

presentation of rain clutter. Image update rate is slowed and color depth is increased.

• Bird - In this mode the radar settings are optimized for best detection of birds. The radar is

set up for maximum sensitivity. This mode is not recommended for use in congested harbor environments.

Not all controls are adjustable in each mode. The following table shows preset controls and adjustability for each control.

* Maximum range is dependent on antenna length: 3’ = 48 nm, 4’ = 64 nm and 6’ = 72 nm.

Radar threshold

The threshold sets required signal strength for the lowest radar signals. Radar returns below this limit are filtered and are not displayed.

Default value: 30%.

Rejecting radar interference

Interference could be caused by radar signals from other radar units operating in the same frequency band.

A high setting reduces the interference from other radars.

In order not to miss weak targets, the interference rejection should be set to low when no interference exists.

Advanced radar options | R2009/R3016 User manual

Noise rejection

The Noise Rejection control sets the amount of noise filtering applied by the radar. Target sensitivity is increased at longer ranges when this control is set to Low or High, but does cause some loss of target discrimination.

Target boost

The target boost control increases pulse length or reduces radar bandwidth to make targets appear larger in range and increase radar sensitivity.

Target expansion

Target expansion increases the length of targets in range, making them easier to see.

Target separation

The Target separation control allows you to control the target discrimination of the radar (separation between objects is more prominent).

Fast scan

Sets the speed of the radar antenna rotation (from 20 RPM in standard mode to 36 RPM in Fast scan mode). This option gives faster target updates.

Mounting location

Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut. The unit should be mounted so that the operator can easily use the controls and clearly see the screen.

Installation | R2009/R3016 User manual

Do not mount the R3016 in an outside location exposed to direct sunlight, it is intended for pilothouse installation only. The R2009 may be mounted both inside, or outside in direct sunlight due to a high brightness screen.

Ensure that any holes cut are in a safe position and will not weaken the boat’s structure. If in doubt, consult a qualified boat builder, or marine electronics installer.

Before cutting a hole in a panel, make sure that there are no hidden electrical wires or other parts behind the panel.

Check that it is possible to route cables to the intended mounting location.

Leave sufficient clearance to connect all relevant cables.

Do not mount any part where it can be used as a hand hold, where it might be submerged, or where it will interfere with the operation, launching, or retrieving of the boat.

For overall width and height requirements, refer to "Dimensional drawings" on page 75.

Good ventilation is required. Choose a location that will not expose the unit to conditions that exceed the specifications - refer to "Technical specifications" on page 72.

Warning: When installing, ensure appropriate safety equipment is used.

For example, ear muffs, protective glasses, gloves and a dust mask. Power tools may exceed safe noise levels, and can cast off dangerous projectiles. The dust from many materials commonly used in boat construction may cause irritation or damage to eyes, skin, and lungs.

U-bracket mounting

1. Place the bracket in the desired mounting location. Ensure that the chosen location has

enough height to accommodate the unit fitted in the bracket, and allows tilting of the unit. Also adequate space is required on both sides to allow tightening and loosening of the knobs.

2. Mark the screw locations using the bracket as a template, and drill pilot holes. Use

fasteners suited to the mounting surface material. If the material is too thin for selftappers, reinforce it, or mount the bracket with machine screws and large washers. Use only 304 or 316 stainless steel fasteners.

3. Screw down the bracket.

4. (16" units only) Using the screws provided in the gimbal kit, fasten the gimbals to the unit.

5. Mount the unit to the bracket using the knobs. Hand tighten only. The ratchet teeth in the

bracket and display case ensure a positive grip and prevent the unit changing from the desired angle.

6. Fix the bracket straps.

Wiring

Guidelines

Don't:

• make sharp bends in the cables

• run cables in a way that allows water to flow down into the connectors

• run the data cables adjacent to radar, transmitter, or large/high current carrying cables or

high frequency signal cables.

• run cables so they interfere with mechanical systems

Do this:

• make drip and service loops

• use cable-tie on all cables to keep them secure

• solder/crimp and insulate all wiring connections if extending or shortening the cables.

Extending cables should be done with suitable crimp connectors or solder and heat shrink. Keep joins as high as possible to minimize possibility of water immersion.

• leave room adjacent to connectors to ease plugging and unplugging of cables

Warning: Before starting the installation, be sure to turn electrical power

off. If power is left on or turned on during the installation, fire, electrical shock, or other serious injury may occur. Be sure that the voltage of the power supply is compatible with the unit.

Warning: The positive supply wire (red) should always be connected to

(+) DC with the supplied fuse or a circuit breaker (closest available to fuse rating).

Planning and installing a network backbone

The backbone needs to run between the locations of all products to be installed - typically in a bow to stern layout - and be no further than 6 m from a device to be connected.

Choose from the following components to make up the backbone:

• Micro-C cables: 0.6 m (2 ft), 1.8 m (6 ft), 4.5 m (15 ft), and 7.6 m (25 ft) cables.

• T-connector or 4-way connector. Used to connect a drop cable to the backbone.

• Micro-C power cable. Connect to the backbone at a position that is central to the network

load using a T-connector or 4-way connector.

Power the network

The network requires its own 12 V DC power supply protected by a 3 amp fuse or breaker.

Connect power at any location in the backbone for smaller systems.

For larger systems introduce power at central point in the backbone to “balance” the voltage drop of the network.

Note: If joining to an existing NMEA 2000 network that already has its own power

supply, do not make another power connection elsewhere in the network, and ensure the existing network is not powered by 24 V DC.

Note: Do not connect the NMEA 2000 power cable to the same terminals as the engine

start batteries, autopilot computer, bow thruster or other high current devices.

The following drawing demonstrates a typical small network. The backbone is made up of directly interconnected T-connectors.

Talkers and Listeners

Do not connect multiple devices outputting data (Talkers) on to any serial input (RX) of the unit. The RS422 protocol is not intended for this type of connection, and data will be corrupted if more than one device transmits simultaneously. The output (TX) however may drive multiple receivers (Listeners). The number of receivers is finite, and depends on the receiving hardware. Typically three devices is possible.

Connect an external monitor

The R3016 incorporates HDMI technology and has a HDMI output which can be connected to an external monitor to replicate video at a remote location. Video is at a resolution of 1366 x 768, a connected monitor should support same resolution or be able to scale.

Software setup

Prior to use, the radar system requires a number of settings be configured in order for the system to perform as expected.

Access to the required dialogs for commissioning are found in the Settings dialog, accessed from the main menu.

The settings dialogs consist of numerous parameters that will seldom require adjustment beyond initial setup. All settings are stored in non-volatile memory. Most are intended to be configured by the technician commissioning the system, by the operator at first use, or by a technician after servicing or replacement of system parts.

The following areas must all be addressed during commissioning, and should be stepped through one at a time. Refer to the detailed sections for further information.

1 General system settings. Refer "System settings" on page 47

2 Setting up external sensors. Refer "Network settings" on page 48

3 Radar Settings. Refer "Radar settings" on page 52

4 Own vessel charachteristics. Refer "Own ship" on page 57

System settings

Use the system settings dialog to set basic settings as described below. Some settings can require a reboot of the system.

Shows a panel with more advanced settings. Used for setting how your system displays various user interface information. In addition, controls which features are shown in the interface.

About

Displays copyright information, software version, and technical information for this unit.

Network settings

The unit has Ethernet, NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 port connections on the back allowing you to connect the unit to your network. Use the Network settings dialog to setup networks and connect to network devices.

Software setup | R2009/R3016 User manual

Info

Displays the Ethernet connection status, the unit's IP and MAC addresses.

Device name

Assigning a name is useful in systems using more than one device of the same type and size. When viewing data sources or the device list, the assigned name will append the default product name + virtual device function for easy identification.

Data source selection

Data sources provide live data to the system.

The data may originate from modules internal to the unit (for example internal GPS or sonar), or external modules connected to the NMEA 2000 or via NMEA 0183 if available on the unit.

When a device is connected to more than one source providing the same data, the user can choose the preferred source. Before commencing with source selection make sure all external devices and the NMEA 2000 backbone are connected and are turned on.

Auto select data sources

The Auto select option looks for all sources connected to the unit. If more than one source is available for each data type, selection is made from an internal priority list. This option is suitable for the majority of installations.

Note: Auto data source selection may already have been selected at first time startup.

However, it should be redone if any new devices have been added to the network since.

Advanced data source selection

The advanced option allows for you to manually select or unselect data sources. Manual selection is generally only required where there is more than one source for the same data, and the ‘Auto select’ selected source is not the one desired.

Device list

The Device list shows the devices that provide data. This may include a module inside the unit, or any external NMEA 2000 device.

Software setup | R2009/R3016 User manual

Selecting a device in this list will bring up additional details and actions:

All devices allow allocation of an instance number in the configure option. Set unique instance numbers on any identical devices on the network to allow for the unit to distinguish between them. The data option shows all data being output by the device. Some devices will show additional options specific to the device.

Note: Setting the instance number on a 3rd party product is typically not possible.

Diagnostics

The NMEA 2000 tab on the diagnostics page can provide information useful for identifying an issue with the network.

Note: The following information may not always indicate an issue that can be simply

resolved with minor adjustment to network layout or connected devices and their activity on the network. However, Rx and Tx errors are most likely indicating issues with the physical network, which may be resolved by correcting termination, reducing backbone or drop lengths, or reducing the number of network nodes (devices).

Bus state

Simply indicates whether the bus is powered, but not necessarily connected to any data sources. However, if bus shows as ‘off’, but power is present along with an increasing error count, it is possible that termination or cable topology is incorrect.

Rx Overflows

The unit received too many messages for its buffer before the application could read them.

Rx Overruns

The unit contained too many messages for its buffer before the driver could read them.

Software setup | R2009/R3016 User manual

Rx/Tx Errors

These two numbers increase when there are error messages, and decrease when messages are received successfully. These (unlike the other values) are not a cumulative count. Under normal operation these should be at 0. Values around 96 upwards indicate a heavily error prone network. If these numbers go too high for a given device, it will automatically drop off the bus.

Rx/Tx Messages

Shows actual traffic in and out of device.

Bus Load

A high value here indicates network is near full capacity. Some devices automatically adjust rate of transmission, if network traffic is heavy.

Fast Packet Errors

Cumulative counter of any fast packet error. This could be a missed frame, or a frame out of sequence etc. NMEA 2000 PGNs are made of up to 32 frames. The entire message will be discarded when a frame is missed.

Note: Rx and Tx Errors often indicate an issue with the physical network, which may be

resolved by correcting termination, reducing backbone or drop lengths, or reducing the number of network nodes (devices).

Reset counters

Resets all counters in the NMEA 2000 tab of the Diagnostics dialog to zero. The counters start recounting immediately.

SimNet Groups

The SimNet Group function is used to control parameter settings, either globally or in groups of units. The function is used on larger vessels where several SimNet units are connected to the network. By assigning several units to the same group, a parameter update on one unit will have the same effect on the rest of the group members.

Calibration

An offset (positive or negative) can be applied to correct inaccuracies in boat speed, sea temp, air temp, barometric pressure, and depth sourced from NMEA 2000 devices.

NMEA 0183 setup

The NMEA 0183 port must be set to suit the speed of connected devices, and can be configured to output only the sentences required by listening devices.

Serial ports

Specifies the baud rate for port for the devices connected to the NMEA 0183. The baud rate should be set to correspond with devices connected to the NMEA 0183 input and output. The input and output (Tx, Rx) use the same baud rate setting.

Radar source

More than one antenna can be connected to the radar control unit.

Use this option to select the antenna that is to be configured.

Radar status

Primarily for information and to assist with fault finding.

Antenna setup

This function is used for setting position and height of radar transceiver on the vessel.

The approximate position of the transceiver on the vessel must be set in order to correctly position the vessel outline when viewing close range settings.

The antenna height is the height of the antenna above the water line, when vessel is carrying a typical load. It is very important to set the antenna height correctly as this will affect the sea clutter function. Do not set the height to 0.

Adjusting range offset

The radar sweep should commence at your vessel (a radar range of zero). You may need to adjust the radar range offset to achieve this. If this is set incorrectly, a large dark circle in the center of the sweep might occur. You might notice straight objects such as straight sea walls

Software setup | R2009/R3016 User manual

or piers having curves or an indentation. Objects close to your vessel may appear “pulled in” or “pushed out”.

Adjust the range offset as below when the vessel is about 45 to 90 m (50 to 100 yards) from a straight-walled jetty or similar feature that produces a straight line echo on the display.

• Point the boat towards the jetty

• Adjust the gain setting until a reasonably good image of the jetty echo is displayed

With the Range offset dialog open:

• Turn the rotary knob to adjust the range offset to make the jetty echo appear as a straight

line on the display

• Press the ENT key to save the settings

Adjust bearing alignment

This is to align the heading marker on the screen with the center line of the vessel. This setting compensates for any slight misalignment of the up-mast transceiver during installation. Misalignment that is not corrected for will compromise target tracking and can result in dangerous misinterpretation of potential navigation hazards.

Point the vessel towards a stationary isolated object. Then with the Bearing alignment dialog open:

• Press the rotary knob to switch focus between coarse and fine bearing alignment

• Turn the rotary knob to adjust the bearing alignment so that the heading line touches the

end of the selected stationary object

• Press the ENT key to save the settings and close the Bearing alignment dialog

Sector blanking

If the radar is installed in close proximity to a mast or structure, that could cause unwanted reflections or interference to appear on the radar image. Use the sector blanking feature to stop the radar from transmitting in the direction up to four sectors.

Note: Sectors are setup relative to the heading line of the radar. The bearing of the

sector is measured from the front of the vessel to the center line of the sector.

Sidelobe suppression

Occasionally false target returns can occur adjacent to strong target returns such as large ships or container ports. This occurs because not all of the transmitted radar energy can be

Software setup | R2009/R3016 User manual

focused into a single beam by the radar antenna, a small amount energy is transmitted in other directions. This energy is referred to as sidelobe energy and occurs in all radar systems.

The returns caused by sidelobes tend to appear as arcs.

When the radar is mounted where there are metallic objects near the radar, sidelobe energy increases because the beam focus is degraded.

The increased sidelobe returns can be eliminated using the Sidelobe suppression option. With dialog open:

• Press the rotary knob to switch focus between the manual and auto adjustment icons

• Turn the rotary knob to adjust the value of the active icon

Use the following procedure to adjust the sidelobe suppression:

1. Set the radar range to between 1/2 nm to 1 nm and the Sidelobe suppression value to

Auto

2. Take the vessel to a location where sidelobe returns are likely to be seen. Typically this

would be near a large ship, container port, or metal bridge

3. Traverse the area until the strongest sidelobe returns are seen

4. Change Auto sidelobe suppression to OFF then select and adjust the sidelobe

suppression control until the sidelobe returns are just eliminated. You may need to monitor 5-10 radar sweeps to be sure they have been eliminated

5. Traverse the area again and readjust if sidelobes returns still occur

6. Press the ENT key to save the settings and leave the Sidelobe suppression dialog

Tuning

The Tuning options are used to do initial tuning of the radar system. The tuning should be performed in an area with large and identifiable targets within range, and the value should be adjusted until the best deflection is obtained.

With the Tune dialog open:

• Press the rotary knob to switch focus between the manual and auto adjustment icons

• Turn the rotary knob to adjust the value of the active icon

Local interference rejection

This is the start of your concept.

Open array park angle

The park angle is the final resting position of the antenna relative to the heading line of the radar when the radar is set to standby. The antenna will stop rotating at the desired offset.

Halo light

Controls the levels of the Halo Radar pedestal blue accent lighting. There are four levels possible for the lighting. The accent lighting can only be adjusted when the radar is in standby mode.

Note: The blue accent pedestal lighting might not be approved for use in your boating

location. Check your local boating regulations before turning the blue accent lights ON.

Software setup | R2009/R3016 User manual

Reset radar to factory defaults

Clears all user and installer settings applied to radar, and restores ex-factory settings. Use with caution, taking note of current settings first, especially those set by the operator if radar has already been in active service.

Radar palettes

Different palettes are available for the radar video and for the target trails.

Note: The palette color does only affect day colors. Night colors are automatically

selected when the brilliance are adjusted to 80% or lower.

Own ship

Own ship setup

This dialog is used for defining the CCRP and GPS sensors position.

• CCRP

- Sets the approximate location for the common reference point. This is the ship’s bridge and location of the radar operator. With the radar antenna position also defined, the radar can calculate the bearing and distance of radar targets relative to the CCRP.

• GPS Sensor

- Sets the approximate location for the primary GPS position sensor. This is relevant to correct positioning of AIS targets on the PPI.

MMSI

Set the vessel’s own MMSI number. This prevents the vessel being identified as an AIS target on own display.

Maintenance

Preventive maintenance

The unit does not contain any field serviceable components. Therefore, the operator is required to perform only a very limited amount of preventative maintenance.

It is recommended that you always fit the supplied protective sun cover when the unit is not in use.

Cleaning the display unit

A proper cleaning cloth should be used to clean the screen, where possible. Use plenty of water to dissolve and take away salt remains. Crystalized salt may scratch the coating if using a damp cloth. Apply minimal pressure to the screen.

Where marks on the screen cannot be removed by the cloth alone, use a 50/50 mixture of warm water and isopropyl alcohol to clean the screen. Avoid any contact with solvents (acetone, mineral turpentine, etc.), or ammonia based cleaning products, as they may damage the anti-glare layer or plastic bezel.

To prevent UV damage to the plastic bezel, it is recommended that the sun cover be fitted when the unit is not in use for an extended period.

Cleaning the media port door

Clean the media port door regularly to avoid salt crystallization on the surface, causing water to leak into the card slot.

Checking the keys

Make sure that no keys are stuck in the down position. If one is stuck, wiggle the key to free it back to normal.

Checking the connectors

The connectors should be checked by visual inspection only.

Push the connector plugs into the connector. If the connector plugs are equipped with a lock, ensure that it is in the correct position.

NMEA Data logging

All serial output sentences sent over the NMEA TCP connection are logged to an internal file. You can export and review this file for service and fault finding purposes.

The maximum file size is predefined. If you have added several other files to the system (file recordings, music, pictures, PDF files), this may reduce the allowed file size for the log file.

The system logs as much data as possible within the file size limitation, and then it starts overwriting the oldest data.

The alert system

The system will continuously check for danger situations and system faults while running.

Type of alerts

There are 3 alert types in the system:

• Alarms: This is the system's highest priority alert, activated when situation occurs that

might result in collision, or for conditions that critically effect the capability or performance of the system. An alarm is accompanied by an audible signal (3 short signals repeated every 7 seconds), and the alarm icon is flashing until the alarm is acknowledged.

• Warnings: This is alerts of lower priority, announcing conditions that could result in

unwanted system response or eventual failure if no action is taken. A warning is accompanied by an audible signal (2 short signals repeated every 2.5 minute), and the warning icon is flashing until the warning is acknowledged.

• Cautions: This is information about danger and caution objects that requires attention.

Caution alerts have no audible signal.

Alert notifications

When an alert is triggered, the alert appears in the Alerts panel. Alarms and warnings remain in the Alerts panel until the reason for the alarm/warning is removed and the alarm/warning has been acknowledged.

The alerts are displayed in a sorted order. The sort order is the severity (i.e. alarm before warning), then age.

Alarms and Warnings have different states:

• Active - not acknowledged, not silenced

• Active - not acknowledged, silenced

• Active - acknowledged

• Active - responsibility transferred to another work station

• Rectified - not acknowledged

When a rectified alert is acknowledged it will disappear from the Alerts panel.

Cautions are not acknowledged, and they disappear from the system when they are rectified. Cautions have therefore only an active state.

A number of related alerts are aggregated and shown in the Alerts panel as one single item with the aggregation symbol next to the alert symbol. The aggregated symbol shows the state as unacknowledged if at least one alert in the aggregated list is unacknowledged. Each alert in the list has to be acknowledged individually.

The table below shows alert icon and behavior depending on if the alert is active, acknowledged, transferred or rectified.

Acknowledging alerts

The Alerts softkey is labelled Alerts Acknowledge if there is an un-acknowledged alarm or warning in the system.

You acknowledge the most recent alarm or warning by pressing the Alerts Acknowledge softkey. The cursor is then automatically moved to the Alerts panel, and you can use the arrow keys to move up and down in the list of alerts.

Repeat pressing this softkey to continue to acknowledge alerts from the top of the Alerts panel. The sort order of alerts is the severity (i.e. alarm before warning), then age.

If no active alerts or warnings are present, the softkey is labelled Alerts. Pressing this key moves the cursor to the Alerts panel.

Press the EXIT key to exit the Alerts panel.

When an Alarm or Warning is acknowledged, the alert icon stops flashing and changes to the acknowledged icon. The siren continues to sound if there are remaining unacknowledged alarms or warnings, otherwise it is muted.

The acknowledged alert is not moved to its new position in the sort order until there has been 2 seconds without any alerts being acknowledged.

All alerts remain in the Alerts panel until the reason for the alarm is rectified.

The Alerts dialog

The Alerts dialog includes a list of active alerts together with a historic listing of the last 100 alerts. All alerts in the Alerts dialog include a time stamp.
