  7-1   WARNING   Never carry out internal inspection or repair work of the equipment by users. Inspection or repair work by unauthorized personnel may result in fire hazard or electric shock. Ask the nearest branch, business office or a dealer for inspection and repair.  Turn off the main power before maintenance work.   Otherwise, an electric shock may result.  Turn off the main power before cleaning the equipment.  Especially, make sure to turn off the indicator if a rectifier is used.    Otherwise, equipment failure, or death or serious injury due to electric shock may result, because voltage is outputted from the rectifier even when the radar is not operating.   For operating the radar equipment in the good conditions, it is necessary to make the maintenance work as described below.    If maintenance is made properly, troubles will reduce.    It is recommended to make regular maintenance work. Common points of maintenance for each unit are as follow:  Clean the equipment.  Remove the dust, dirt, and sea water rest on the equipment cabinet with a piece of dry cloth. Especially, clean the air vents with a brush for good ventilation.
  7-27.  TROUBLE SHOOTING yyyyyyy7    WARNING   Turn off the main power source before starting maintenance. Otherwise, an electric shock or injury may be caused.  Turn off the main power if you need to be near the scanner unit for maintenance or inspection purposes.    Direct exposure to electromagnetic waves at close range in death or serious injury.  Set the safety switch for stopping the scanner unit to the OFF position. Otherwise, an accidental contact with the rotating scanner unit may cause injury.
  7-37.1 FAULT FINDING  In case of semiconductor circuits, it is deemed that there are few cases in which the used semiconductor devices have inferior quality or performance deterioration except due to insufficient design or inspection or by other external and artificial causes.    In general, the relatively many causes are disconnection in a high-value resistor due to moisture, a defective variable resistor and poor contact of a switch or relay. Some troubles are caused by defective parts, imperfect adjustment (such as tuning adjustment) or insufficient service (such as poor cable contact).    It will also be effective to check and readjust these points. Melted fuses are caused by any clear cause.  When a fuse is replaced, it is necessary to check the related circuits even if there is no trouble.    In checking, note that there is some dispersion in the fusing characteristics.

  7-67.3  REPLACEMENT OF MAJOR PARTS yyyyyyy77.3  REPLACEMENT OF MAJOR PARTS    CAUTION                     Turn off the main power source before replacing parts.  Otherwise, an electric shock or trouble may be caused.  Before replacing the magnetron, turn off the main power source and wait for 5 minutes or more until the high voltage circuits are discharged. Otherwise, an electric shock may be caused.  Take off your wrist watch when bringing your hands close to the magnetron. Otherwise, your watch may be damaged because the magnetron is a strong magnet.  Two or more persons shall replace the liquid crystal monitor. If only one person does this work, he may drop the LCD, resulting in injury.  Even after the main power source is turned off, some high voltages remain for a while. Do not contact the inverter circuit in the LCD with bare hands.  Otherwise, an electric shock may be caused.
  7-7Parts Required for Periodic Replacement   Here are parts required for periodic replacement  Part name  Interval 1. Magnetron  4000 hours 2. Motor  10000 hours 3. Fan motor  20000 hours 4. Backup battery  3 years   Replacement of magnetron (V101)   Remove the shield cover of the modulator and check that no charge remains in the high-voltage modulator circuit.  Then, remove the socket of the magnetron.  The magnetron can be demounted by removing the screws fixing it.    When mounting a new magnetron, do not touch the magnet with a screwdriver or put it on an iron plate.    After replacement, connect the lead wire correctly.   Handling of Magnetron under Long-Time Storage  The magnetron that has been kept in storage for a long time may cause sparks and operate unstably when its operation is started.    Perform the aging in the following procedures:  (1)  Warm up the cathode for a longer time than usually. (20 to 30 minutes in the STBY state.) (2)  Start the operation from the short pulse range and shift it gradually to the longer pulse ranges.    If the operation becomes unstable during this process, return it to the standby mode immediately.    Keep the state for 5 to 10 minutes until the operation is restarted.    Replacement of Diode Limiter (A102)(JMA-610-7)   Remove the 4 screws fixing the receiver.    Remove the 4 screws fixing the diode and the limiter, and remove diode limiter.    When mounting the diode limiter, take care of the mounting direction and mount it in the arrow direction facing it the receiver. Connect the wiring in the same way as before the replacement.

 APPENDIX
       HOW TO INSERT AND REMOVE A CARD   Insert or remove the JRC coastline ROM card, ERC card, C-MAP card and memory card according to the procedures below.   Note:  Keep a card horizontal when inserting it into a card slot.    An inclined card causes a failure.     Do not simultaneously insert a JRC coastline ROM card, an ERC card and C-MAP card into the card slot.    A malfunction will occur on the display.  Insert the card into the specified slot according to the following table:  Card type  Insertion slot No. JRC card  Either one ERC card  Either one C-Map NT+ detail card  Either one Memory card  Either one  Note:  The Background of C-Map has been built in, don’t insert C-Map NT+ background card.   If the background card is inserted, the system will malfunction.    Insert a card into processor unit    Procedures  1  Remove the rubber packing located at the backside of the processing unit cabinet, and expose the card slot.
   APPENDIX   2  Insert the card in the direction indicated by the arrow.      3  Insert the card until the card slot's eject button protrudes and complete the installation of a card.     Eject a card from processor unit    Procedures  1  Push the eject button corresponding to the desired card slot.    2  remove a card from processor unit
