Two alarm zones can be set as described above. To change the active alarm zones. do steps 1 thru 4 In the above procedure. (When both alarms are prepared the active alarm is circumscribed.) Acknowledging alarm Atarget entering the ALARM zone produces both visual (flashing) and audible (beeping) alarms. To silence the audible alarm, press the [TGT ALARM] key shortly. ACKN replaces IN (orOUT). This will deactivate the audible alarm but will not stop the flashing of the target in the tar- get alarm zone. To reactivate the audible alarm, press the rI'GT ALARM] key again. To silence the audible alarm, you may press the [TGTALARM] key. However, In this case, the label ACKN does not appear. Deactivatlng target alarm Hold the [TGT ALARM] key depressed for at least 5 seconds. Note: The target alarm is given to targets hav- ing a certain level of echo strength. This level does not always imply a landmass, reel, ships brother surface objects but can mean returns from the sea surface or precipitation. Prop- erty adiustthe GAIN, NC SEA, and NC RAIN controls to reduce noise to avoid generation of the guard alarm against false targets. Inward and outward target alarms On the R-type. an inward or outward target alarm can be selected on the TGT ALARM menu. On the MO type, only the inward guard alarm is available. The inward guard alarm generates visual and audible warnings when a target enters the target alarm zone from any direction. The outward target alarm is produced when a target leaves the target alarm zone. (This is not atarget alarm by deli- nition but some users find this feature valu- able.)

Echoes received from stable targets such as ships appear on the screen at almost the same position every ro- tation of the scanner. On the other hand, un- stable echoes such as sea clutter appear at random positions. To distinguish real target echoes from sea clutter, echo average performs scan-to-scan correlation Correlation is made by storing and averaging echo signals over successive picture frames. it an echo is solid and stable, it is presented in its normal intensity. Sea clut- ter is averaged over successive scans result- ing in the reduced brilliance, making it easier to discriminate real targets from sea clutter. To properly use the echo average function, it is recommended to first suppress sea clutter with the A/C SEA control and then do the fol- lowing: 1. Press the [F1] key. 2.

Thus, small stationary targets such as buoys will be shown while suppressing random echoes such as see clutter. True echo average is not however effective for picking up small targets running at high speeds over the ground. Echo average is inoperable when a compass signal is not available. If you wish to use this feature without a compass signal, consult a FURUNO representative. Manual speed entry is done at the menu item MAN SP0 on the OTHER menu, which is ac- cessed by pressing the [MENU] key followed by the [0] key. Do not use the Echo Average feature under heavy pitching and rolling; loss of targets can result. 1.25 Electronic Plotting Aid (EPA) 10 operator-selected targets can be plotted electronically to assess their motion trend. Five past positions can be displayed lcr each of the plotted targets. ll you enter a 6th plot on a certain target, the oldest plot (past posi- tion) will be erased. A vector appears when you enter a second plot tor the target and is updated each time a new plot is entered. The vector shows the target motion trend based on its latest two plots. Target data is shown in the data display area which shows range, bearing, course, speed, CPA and TCPA oi the last-plotted or selected target.

The vec- tor and data are updated on real time be- tween plct entries, but do not neglect to plot a new position over a long period of time. Otherwise, the accuracy will be reduced. Note that the plots will be lost when the compass tails; start the planing exercise again. Plotting a target 1. Place the cursor on a target oi interest by operating the trackball. 2. Press the [PLOT SYMBOL] key. An un- used plot symbol is marked at the cursor position. 3. Watching the EPAtime shown at the right side of the screen, wait for at least 30 seconds. Place the cursor (+) on the tar- get at its new location, press the [PLOT SYMBOL] key. The plot symbol moves to the new target position and previous position is marked by a small dot. 4. To acquire other targets, repeat the above steps selecting different plot symbols. Note: If a target once plotted is not planed again within 12 minutes, the waming "UP- DATE PLOT' will appear on the upper right margin of the screen and the plot symbol of the target flashes. Plotting of a target will be ceased if the time between consecutive plots exceeds 12 minutes. it you want to continue plotting this target, reacqulre it within one minute. Othemise, the target will be regarded as a “lost target" and its plot symbol and tar- get data will be erased. The larger the plot- ting interval, the less accurate the plotted target data. Plotting of each target should nor- mally be made every 3 or 6 minutes as iar as possible. You can use a Watch Alarm to warn yourseli every 3 or 6 minutes. Within 30 seconds, you can cancel a last plot by the [CANCEL/CLEAR] key and make a re~errtry at a different position. After 30 sec- onds, the last entry is processed to produce a vector. True or relative vector, vector time Vectors can be displayed relative to own ship's heading (Relative) or with reference to the North (True). This feature is available in all presentation modes (compass must be working correctly). The current vector mode is indicated at the upper-right corner of the screen. Vector time (or the length of vectors) can be set to 30 seconds, 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 15 or 30 minutes and the selected vector time is indi- cated at the upper-right corner of the screen. 1.

The vector tip shows an estimated position of the target after the selected vector time elapses. It can be valuable to extend the vec- tor length to evaluate the risk of collision with any target. Target data The radar calculates motion trends (range, bearing, course, speed, CPA and TCPA) of all plotted targets. In the head-up and head-up true bearing modes, target bearing, course and speed shown in the upper-right target data field be- come true (T) relative to north or relative (R) relative to own ship in accordance with true/ relative vector setting. In the north-up, course- up. and true motion modes, the target data field always displays true bearing, true course and speed over the ground. Reading the target date Press the [PLOT SYMBOL] key and the cor- responding plot symbol key. Then, the fol- lowing target data is displayed at the left side of the CRT. Three target date can be dis- played. RNGIBRG (Range/Bearing): Range and bearing from own ship to last-plotted target with suffix "T” (True) or “R" (Relative) plot symbol. CSEISPD (Course/Speed): Course and speed are displayed for the last-plotted tar- get with suffix “T’ (True) or ‘R” (Relative) plot symbol. CPA/TCPA: CPA (Closest Point of Approach) is the closest range the target will approach to own ship. TCPA is the time to CPA. Both CPA and TCPA are automatically calculated. TCPA is counted up to 99.9 min and beyond that it is indicated as TCPA> '99.9 MIN. Terminating target plotting With EPA you can plot up to 10 targets. You may wish to terminate plotting 01 less impor- tant targets to newly plot other threatening targets. With Trackball: Place the cursor (+) on a target which you do not want to be tracked any longer by operating the trackball and press the [CANCEL/CLEAR] key. All Targets: To terminate plotting of all tar- gets at once: 1. Press the [MENU] key followed by the [7] key. 2. Press the [2] key twice to select OFF from the EHASE field. 3. Press the [ENTER/SELECT] key followed by the [MENU] key. Setting CPA/TCPA alarm ranges When the predicted GPA of any target be- comes smaller than a preset CPA alarm range and its predicted TCPA less than a preset TCPA alarm limit, the EPA releases an au- dible alarm and displays the warning label COLLISION appears on the screen. In addi- tion, the EPA symbol changes to a triangle and flashes together with its vector. Provided that this leature is used correctly, it will help prevent the risk of collision by alert- ing you to threatening targets. It is important that GAIN, AIC SEA, A/C RAIN and other radar controls are property adjusted. CPA/TCPA alarm ranges must be set up prop- erty taking into consideration the size, ton- nage, speed, turning performance and other characteristics of own ship. & CAU110N CPA/T CPA Alarm The CPA/TCPA alarm feature should never be relied upon as the sole means for detect- ing the risk of collision. The navigator is not relieved of the respon- sibillity to keep visual lookout tor avoiding collisions, whether or not the radar or other plotting aid is in use. To set the CPA/TCPA alarm ranges: 1.

On short and medium ranges such as 1.5, 3 and 6 nm scales, the same size targets get smaller on screen as they ap- proach the own ship. These are due to the inherent property of the radiation pattern oi the antenna. To enhance target video, use the echo stretch iunctlon. There are two types: echo stretch 1 (E81 ) to enlarge in bear- ing direction for long range detection, and echo stretch 2 (E82) to enlarge in range di- rection on 1.56 nm scales.

Map lines are navigational facility whereby the observer can define lines to indicate chan- nels or tratiic separation schemes. Also called nav lines, these lines can be ground stabi- lized to stop them irom drifting. (Definition in EC 60936-1 and IEC 60872-1) In this series of radar, a radar map may con- tain 3,000 points of mark and line data on one map. One map can be memorized to fa- cilitate the repeated use on the routine navi— gation area. The user can create a radar map on-real time base while using the radar tor navigation or at leisure time at anchor or while the radar is not being used. Place of a map can be made for any waterways apart from the actual own ship location. The map data is stored on EEROM card which is mounted on the main processor board socket. When the optional FiP board RP-17 and RAM card are installed in the display unit, much more data can be created and copied to another card. Preparation Selecting navaid 1. Press the [MENU] key. 2.

OPERATION OF AUTOMATIC TRACKING AID (ATA) ARP-17 2.1 Introduction The FR—1505 MARK-3 series radar can accomcdate an optional ATA (Automatic Tracking Aid) module complying with IMO MSC.64(69) Annex 4 and IEC 60872-2. With the optional ATA circuit board (ARP -17) Fitted in the display unit, the radar will automatically acquire 10 targets coming into the acquisition area. Once a target is acquired automatically or manually it is automatically tracked within 0.2 to 32 nm, whether inside or outside the acquisition area. Menu tree [MENU] key 1. VIDEO PLOT —z.

REF TGT VECT 2.2 Criteria of Tracking A target measuring 800 m or more in the ra- dial or circumferential direction is regarded as a landmass and not acquired or tracked. Echoes smaller than 800 m are regarded as targets to be tracked. The FURUNO ARPA ATA video processor detects targets in midst of noise and discrimi- nates radar echoes on the basis oftheir size. Target whose echo measurements are greaterthan those 01 the largest ship in range or tangential extem are usually land and are displayed only as normal radar video. All smaller ship-sized echoes which are less than this dimension are further analyzed and re- garded as ships and displayed as small circles superimposed over the video echo. When a target is first displayed, it is shown as having zero true speed but develops a course vector as more iniorrnation is col- Tums vector display on/oti tor reierence target, fl lemed. In accordance with the International Marine Organization Automatic Radar Plot- ting Aid (lMO ARPA) requirements. an indi- cation oi the motion trend should be available within 20 scans of antenna and full vector accuracy within 60 scans. The FURUNO ARPA s/ATAs comply with these require- ments. Acquisition and tracking A target which is hit by 5 consecutive radar pulses is detected as a radar echo. Auto acquisition is not defined in paints but in time, which should be less than 3 s of ini- tial stage. Manual acquisition is done by designating a detected echo with the trackball. Automatic acquisition is done in the acquisition areas when a target is detected 5-7 times continu- ously depending upon the congestion. Track- ing is achieved when the target is clearly dis- tinguishable on the display for 5 consecutive or alternate paints out of 10 consecutive scans whether acquired automatically or manually. Targets not detected in 5 consecutive scans become “lost targets." Quantization The entire picture is converted to a digital from called "Quantified Video.“ Asweep range is divided into small segments and each range element is “1" if there is radar echo return above a threshold level, or “0‘ if there is no return. The digital radar signal is then analyzed by a ship-sized echo discriminator. As the antenna scans, ii there are 5 consecutive radar pulses with 1’s indicating an echo presence at the exact same range, a target “start" is initiated. Since receiver noise is random, it is not three bang correlated, and it is filtered out and not classified as an echo. The same is true oi radar interference. Elec- tronic circuits track both the closet and most distant edges of the echo. At the end of the scanning of the echo, the discriminator indi- cates the measured maximum range extent and total angular extent subtended by the echo. If the echo is larger than a ship-sized echo in range extent and/or angular width, adjusted as a function of range, it is declared to be a coastline and the closet edge is put into memory as a map of the area. This land outline is used to inhibit further ac- quisition and tracking of ship sized echoes beyond the closest coast outline. 5 consecu- tive scans of coastal outline are retained in memory to allow tor signal variation. All smaller echoes are declared to be ship sized and the middle 01 the leading edge is used to provide precise range and hearing coordi- nates of each echo on every scan. This range/bearing data is matched to previous data and analyzed from scan-to-soan for con- sistency. When it is determined to be as con- sistent as a real target, automatic acquisition occurs and tracking is initiated. Continued tracking and subsequent calcula- tion develop the relative course and speed of the target just as a man would do when plotting the relative course and speed of the target on the scope with a grease pencil. The true course and speed of own ship are computed from own ship’s gyro and speed inputs, and the resulting course and speed of each tracked target is easily computed by vector summing of the relative motion with own ship’s course and speed. The resulting true or relative vector is displayed for each of the tracked targets. This process is up- dated oontinually for each target on every scan of the radar. Automatic acquisition areas and suppression lines Performance of auto-acquisition is enhanced by controlling the limit lines (suppression lines) in the former series of FURUNO AFtPAs. In the ATA, the automatic acquisi- tion rings are used instead of the limit lines. Auto acquisition rings work as suppression lines when viewed from the opposite direc- tion. The should be placed clear of a land- mass or shoreline. The acquisition areas may be a full 360 degree circle or sector of any angles. They are gyro stabilized. Qualitative description of tracking error The FU RUNO ARPA accuracy complies with or exceed IMO standards. Own ship maneuvers For slow turns there is no effect. Forvery high turning rates (greater than 150°! minute, de- pending on gyro), there is some influence on all tracked targets which last for a minute or two and then all tracked targets revert to full accuracy. Other ship maneuvers Target ship courses, lag 15 to 30 seconds at high relative speed, or 3 to 6 seconds at low (near 0) relative speed. It is less accurate during a turn due to leg, but accuracy recov- ers quickly. 2.3 Activating, Deactivating the ATA The ATA is saturated/deactivated through the menu.

Notez: A vector can be displayed for the rel- erence target. This can be done with FtEF TGT VECT on the PLOT menu. 1. select a small ground mass target (small island. lighthouse) 0.2 to 24 nautical miles from own ship. 2. Place the cursor on the target. 3.

Reference targets are marked with a square symbol with a reterenoe number (R1, R2, R3). 2.5 Acquiring Targets The ATA permits automatic acquisition (10 targets) plus manual acquisition (to targets), or fully manual acquisition (20 targets) within a range of 0.2 to 32 miles. The targets are automatically numbered and the same num- bers are not used more than one until the maximum capacity is reached. Betore starting the ATA, check that heading and speed readouts at the top of the screen are reasonable. Manual acquisltlon 1.

Set and drift corrections are beneficial for increasing the accuracy of the vector data. The correction is best made on relative motion with true vec- tor, watching Iandmasses, buoys, or station- ary targets. Thus, the speed and course of own ship over the ground are reciprocally calculated and compared with the relative bearing and range to the relerence target to produce a Set and Drift. These values are applied to all targets. If stationary objects have vectors, the set and drift should be cor— rected until they lose their vectors. It own ship is equipped with a device to indi- cate ocean current movements, the values shown on it may be used. 1. Press [MENU], [0], [0] to display the OTHER menu.

Press the [AUDIO OFF] key to acknowledge and silence the CPA/TCPA audible alarm. The ATAcontinuously monitors the predicted range at the Closest Point of Approach (CPA) and predicted time to CPA (TCPA) of each tracked target to own ship. When the predicted GPA of any target he- comes smaller than a preset CPA alarm range and its predicted TCPA less than a preset TCPA alarm limit, the ATA releases an au- dible alarm. In addition, the target plot sym- bol changes to a triangle and Ilashes together with its veCIor. Provided that this feature is used correctly, It will help prevent the risk of collision by alert- ing you to threatening targets. it is important that GAIN, AIC SEA, A/C RAIN and other radar controls are properly adjusted and the ATA is set up so that it can track targets ef- lectively. CPA/TCPA alarm ranges must be set up prop- erty taking into consideration the size, ton- nage, speed. tumlng performance and other characteristics ot own ship. The CPA/TCPA alarm feature should never be relied upon as a sole means for detecting the risk of collision. The navigator is not re— lieved of the responsibilityto keep visual look- out for avoiding collisions. whether or not the radar or other planing aid is in use.

RADAR OBSERVATION 3.1 General Minimum and maximum ranges Minimum range The minimum range is defined by the short- est distance at which, using a scale of 1.5 or 0.75 nm, a target having an echoing area of 10 mz is still shown separate lrom the point representing the scanner position. It is mainly dependent on the pulselength, scanner height, and signal processing such as main bang suppression and digital quan- tization. lt is a good practice to use a shorter range scale as far as it gives favorable defi- nition or clarity ol picture. The IMO Ftesolu- tion A. 477 (XIl) and IEC 936 require the minimum range to be less than 50 m. All FURUNO radars satisfy this requirement. Maximum range The maximum detecting range of the radar. Flrnax, varies considerably depending on sev- eral factors such as the height of the scan- ner above the waterline, the height of the target above the sea, the size, shape and material of the target, and the atmospheric conditions. Under normal atmospheric conditions, the maximum range is equal to the radar hori- zon or a little shorter. The radar horizon is longer than the optical one by about 6% be- cause ol the diffraction property of the radar signal. The thax is given in the following equation. Hm..= 22 x (W HFE) where Rmax: radar horizon (nautical miles) hi: scanner height (m) h2: target height (m) Radar horizon Optical horizon Figure 3-1 Radar horizon For example, if the height of the scanner above the waterline is 9 meters and the height at the target is 16 meters, the maximum ra- dar range is; RmaF2.2xd§+i/T§)=2.2x(3+4)=15.4nm It should be noted that the detection range is reduced by precipitation (which absorbs the radar signal). X-band and S-band In lair weather, the above equation does not give a significant difference between X- and S-band radars. However, in heavy precipita- tion condition, an S-band radar would have better detection than an X-band radar. Radar resolution There are two important factors in radar resolution (discrimination): bearing resolution and range resolution. Bearlng resolution Bearing resolution is the ability of the radar to display as separate pips the echoes re- ceived from two targets which are at the same range and close together. It is proportional to the scanner length and reciprocally pro- portional to the wavelength. The length of the scanner radiator should be chosen for a bear- ing resolution better than 2.5“ (IMO Resolu- tion). This condition is normally satisfied with a radiator of 1.2 m (4 It) or longer in the X- band. The S-band radar requires a radiator of nominal 12 feet (3.6 m) in our product range. Range resolution Range resolution is the ability to display as separate pips the echoes received irom two targets which are on the same bearing and close to each other. This is determined by pulselength only. Practically, a 0.08 microsec- ond pulse offers the discrimination better than 35 m as do so with all FURUNO radars. Test targets tor determining the range and bearing resolution are radar reflectors hav- ing an echoing area of 10 mg. Bearing accuracy One of the most important features of the ra- dar is how accurately the bearing of a target can be measured. The accuracy of bearing measurement basically depends on the nar- rowness ot the radar beam. However, the bearing is usually taken relative to the ship’s heading, and thus, proper adjustment of the heading line at installation is an important tac- tor in ensuring bearing accuracy. To minimize error when measuring the bearing of a tar- get, put the target echo at the extreme posi- tion on the screen by selecting a suitable range. Range measurement Measurement of the range to a target is also a very important function 01 the radar. Gen- erally, there are two means of measuring range: the fixed range rings and the variable range marker (VRM)‘ The fixed range rings appear on the screen with a predetermined interval and provide a rough estimate of the range to a target. The variable range marker‘s diameter is increased or decreased so that the marker touches the inner edge of the tar- get, allowing the operator to obtain more ac- curate range measurements. 3.2 False Echoes Occasionally echo signals appear on the screen at positions where there is no target or disappear even if there are targets. They are, however, recognized if you understand the reason why they are displayed. Typical false echoes are shown below. Multiple echoes Multiple echoes occur when a transmitted pulse returns from a solid object like a large ship, bridge, or breakwater. A second, a third or more echoes may be observed on the dis- play at double, triple or other multiples of the actual range of the target as shown below. Multiple reflection echoes can be reduced and otten removed by decreasing the gain (sensitivity) or properly adjusting the NC SEA control. True @ m Muttipie llilil id Target Own ship echo Figure 3-2 Multiple echoes Sidelobe echoes Every time the radar pulse is transmitted. some radiation escapes on each side of the beam, called “sidelobes.” If a target exists where it can be detected by the side lobes as well as the main lobe, the side echoes may be represented on both sides 01 the true echo at the same range. Side lobes show usually only on short ranges and from strong targets. They can be reduced through care- ful reduction of the gain or proper adjustment of the A/C SEA control. Figure 3-3 Side/obs echoes Virtual image A relatively large target close to your ship may be represented at two positions on the screen. One of them is the true echo directly reflected by the target and the other is a false echo which is caused by the mirror effect of a large object on or close to your ship as shown in the figure below. If your ship comes close to a large metal bridge, for example, such a false echo may temporarily be seen on the screen. Target True echo llllll ow" Ship Multiple edro Figure 3—4 Virtual image Shadow sectors Funnels, stacks. masts, or derricks in the path of the scanner block the radar beam. If the angle subtended at the scanner is more than a few degrees, a non-detecting sector may be produced. Within this sector targets can not be detected. Blind lone Figure 3-5 Shadow sectors 3.3 SART (Search and Rescue Transponder) A Search and Rescue Transponder (SART) may be triggered by any X-Bend (3 cm) ra- dar within a range of approximately 3 nm. Each radar pulse received causes itto trans- mit a response which is swept repetitively across the complete radar frequency band. When interrogated, it first sweeps rapidly (0.4 ‘ us) through the hand before beginning a rela- tively slow sweep (7.5 us) through the band back to the starting frequency. This process is repeated tor a total of twelve complete cycles. At some point in each sweep, the SART frequency will match that of the inter- rogating radar and be within the pass band of the radar receiver. It the SART is within range, the frequency match during each of the 12 slow sweeps will produce a response on the radar display, thus a line of 12 dots equally spaced by about 0.64 nautical miles will be shown. When the range to the SAFlT is reduced to about 1 nm, the radar display may show also the 12 responses generated during the last sweeps. These additional dot responses, which also are equally spaced by 0.64 nm, will be interspersed with the original line of 12 dots. They will appear slightly weaker and smaller than the original dots.

General remarks on receiving SART SART range errors When responses lrom only the 12 low tre- quency sweeps are visible (when the SART is at a range greater than about 1 nm). the position at which the first dot is displayed may be as much as 0.64 nm beyond the true po— sition ot the SART. When the range closes so that the fast sweep responses are seen also, the lirst 01 these will be no more than 150 meters beyond the true position. Radar bandwidth This is normally matched to the radar pulselength and is usually switched with the range scale and the associated pulselength. Narrow bandwidths of 3-5 MHz are used with long pulses on long range and wide band- widths ot 10-25 MHz with short pulses on short ranges. Any radar bandwidth of less than 5 MHz will attenuate the SART signal slightly, so it is preferable to use a medium bandwidth to ensure optimum detection of the SART. Radar side lobes As the SART is approached, side lobes from the radar scanner may show the SART re- sponses as a series of arcs or concentric rings. These can be removed by the use of the anti—clutter sea control although it may be operationally useful to observe the side lobes as they may be easier to detect in clut- ter conditions and also they will confirm that the SAFlT is near to the ship. Gain For maximum range SART detection the nor- mal gain setting tor long range detection should be used, that is. with background noise speckle visible. NC SEA control For optimum range SART detection, this con— trol should be set to the minimum. Care should be exercised as wanted target in sea clutter may be obscured. Note also that in clutter conditions the first few dots of the SART response may not be detectable, irre- spective of the setting of the anti-clutter sea control. In this case, the position of the SART may be estimated by measuring 9.5 nautical miles from the furthest dot back towards own ship. Some sets have automatic/manual anti-clut- ter sea control facilities in which case the op- erator should switch to manual. NC RAIN control This should be used normally (to break up areas of rain) when trying to detect a SART response which, being a series of dots, is not affected by the action of the anti-clutter rain circuitry. Note that Raoon responses, which are often in the form of a long flash, will be affected by the use of this control. Some sets have automatic/manual anti-clut- ter rein control facilities in which case the op- erator should switch to manual. Note: This SART information is excerpted from IMO SN/Circ 197 Operation of Marine Radar for SART Detection. 3.4 RACON (Radar Beacon) A racon is a radar transponder which emits a characteristic signal when triggered by a ship's radar (usually only the 3 centimeter band). The signal may be emitted on the same frequency as that of the triggering ra- dar, in which case it is superimposed on the ship's radar display automatically. The racon signal appears on the PPI as a radial line originating at a point just beyond the position of the radar beacon or as a Morse code signal (figure below) displayed radially from just beyond the beacon. mum Recon m Metammmwiwfl "l‘ a” in m "0 V Figure 3-8 Appearance of RACON signal on the radar display 4. OPERATION OF VIDEO PLO1TER RP-17 (0PT|0N) The Video Plotter RP-17 is an optional circuit board which is accommodated in the display unit of the FR‘1505 MARK-3 series radars. It permits use of two memory cards: a memory card(RAM) for storing the operator-created radar maps, and the other is a chart card(ROM) storing FURUNO made digital charts. The memory card enables the operator to create radar maps more precisely than the stan- dard supplied radar map card (150 points per map). The radar map can hold a maxium of 3,000 points. The card permanently retains the data you have entered from the radar display or by Lat/Long positions. Own ship and other ship tracks may be stored at a selected interval. To display Nav line, RTE and WPL sentences are necessary. WPL ID sentence received in figure only. The data can be copied for other ships of the same shipping company. Chafls are superimposed on the radar picture without disturbing the radar observation. The chart area is dependent on the radar range in use. The drive for the ROM card can also drive the Electronic Reference Chart (EPIC). The EFtC is a digital chart published by the Japanese Hydrographic Bureau. Note it is not an ENC used for ECDIS. For details, refer to the separate manual for the Video Plotter RP-17. 5. MAINTENANCE & WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Do not open the equipment.

DEGS DEG (OFF/wwnw) APPENDIX A OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT, PARTS LOCATION A.1 Performance Monitor (Option) A performance monitor is required for a ra- dar installed on vessels of 300 GT and up- ward engaged in international voyages. The FURUNO PM-30 satislies the requirement covering 9410 i 50 MHz. The following de- scribes how to use these performance moni- tors. The performance monitor is an independent unit, namely, it is not interconnected with any unit of the radar system except for the 100 VAC power cable. In some radars the power cable is not routed via the power switch or other control of the radar and the monitor is operated as completely a separate device. Operating the performance monitor When Radar Interswitch RJ-7 is connected, set it to the “straight“ mode. Select PM ON by pressing [MENU], [0], [0], [CL [0]. [5145], [3], and the range scale is automatically set to 24 nm. The radar screen will show sev- eral arcs, opposite to the heading marker (provided that the performance monitor is in- stalled behind the radar antenna as is nor- mally the case). If the radar transmitter and receiver are in good working conditions in as much as the original state when the moni- tor was turned up, the innermost are should appear at 12 nm and there should be a total of 4 arcs. The range of the innermost arc reduces 3 nm with every 3 dB loss cftransmitted power. Meanwhile the receiver sensitivity can be evaluated from the number of visible arcs; one arc is lost every 3 dB deterioration of the sensitivity. Receiver periormance 3 nm or less >10 dB or none TRANSMITTER: normal RECEIVER: normal 0 >12 dB TRANSMITTER: 3 db loss (T ramminer system has Iofl hall initial power. suspect magnetron and feeder system.)
