1. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
1.1 What is Radar?
The term "RADAR" is an acronym meaning
RAdio Detection And Ranging. It is a
device which measures the time it takes for
a pulsed signal to be reflected back from
an object.
1.2 How Ships Determined
Position Before Radar
The use of echoes to determine position
did not begin with radar. Ships would sound
a short blast on their whistles, fire a shot, or
strike a bell as an aid to navigation when
running in fog near a rugged shoreline. The
time between the origination of the sound
and the returning of the echo indicated how
far the ship was from the cliffs or the shore.
The direction from which the echo was
heard indicated the relative bearing of the
shore.
1.3 How Radar Determines
Range
Radar determines the distance to the target
by calculating the time difference between
the transmission of a radar signal and the
reception of the reflected echo. It is a
known fact that radar waves travel at a
nearly constant speed of 162,000 nautical
miles per second. Therefore the time
required for a transmitted signal to travel to
the target and return as an echo to the
source is a measure of the distance to the
target. Note that the echo makes a
complete round trip, but only half the time
of travel is needed to determine the oneway distance to the target. This radar
automatically takes this into account in
making the range calculation.
1.4 How Radar Determines
Bearing
The bearing to a target found by the radar
is determined by the direction in which the
radar antenna is pointing when it emits an
electronic pulse and then receives a
returning echo. Each time the antenna
rotates pulses are transmitted in the full
360 degree circle, each pulse at a slightly
different bearing from the previous one.
Therefore, if one knows the direction in
which the signal is sent out, one knows the
direction from which the echo must return.
1-1
1.5 Radar Wave Speed and
Antenna Rotation Speed
1.6 The Radar Display
Targets are displayed on what is called a
Plan Position Indicator (PPI). This display
is essentially a polar diagram, with the
transmitting ship’s position at the center.
Images of target echoes are received and
displayed at their relative bearings, and at
their distance from the PPI center.
The speed of the radar waves out to the
target and back again as echoes is
extremely fast compared to the speed of
rotation of the antenna. By the time radar
echoes have returned to the antenna, the
amount of antenna rotation after initial
transmission of the radar pulse is
extremely small.
With a continuous display of the images of
targets, the motion of the transmitting ship
is also displayed.

Press the [POWER] key to turn the radar
on or off. The control panel lights and a
timer displays the time remaining for warm
up of the magnetron (the device which
produces radar pulses), counting down
from 1:30.
2-2
Note: When the power is reapplied within a
certain amount of time and circuits
remain charged, the warmup process
is skipped—you can transmit without
one and a half minutes st-by time.
WARNING
The radar antenna emits high frequency radio
radiation which can be harmful, particularly to
your eyes. Never look directly at the antenna
from a distance of less than three feet when
the radar is in operation. Always make sure
no one is near the antenna before turning on
the radar.
Note: When the heading signal is lost, the
HDG readout at the top of the screen
shows ***.*. This warning stays on
when the heading signal is restored
to warn the operator that the readout
may be unreliable. After confirming
the heading readout (if necessary,
adjust it), the warning may be erased
by pressing the [DISP MODE] key.

Backlighting and Display
Tone
After the power is turned on and the
magnetron has warmed up, ST-BY (StandBy) appears at the screen center. This
means the radar is now fully operational. In
stand-by the radar is available for use at
anytime—but no radar waves are being
transmitted.
Press the [ST-BY TX] key to transmit.
When transmitting, any echoes reflected
from targets appear on the display. This
radar displays echoes in four tones of gray
according to echo strength.
• When navigating in or around crowded
harbors, select a short range to watch
for possible collision situations.
• If you select a lower range while on
open water, increase the range
occasionally to watch for vessels that
may be heading your way.
The [BRILL] key adjusts the LCD
backlighting in eight levels, including off.
The [TONE] key adjusts the tone (contrast)
of the display in 32 levels, including off.
Procedure
1. Press the [BRILL] key (or [TONE] key).
The display shown in Figure 2-3
appears.
When you won’t be using the radar for an
extended period but want to keep it in a
state of readiness, press the [ST-BY TX]
key to set the radar in stand-by.
2.5 Selecting the Range
The range selected automatically
determines the range ring interval, the
number of range rings, pulselength and
pulse repetition rate, for optimal detection
capability in short to long ranges.

How to adjust the GAIN (sensitivity)
The GAIN works in precisely the same
manner as the volume control of a
broadcast receiver, amplifying the signals
received.
You can adjust the GAIN automatically or
manually. If you select AUTO, the GAIN
automatically adjusted. The range of the
GAIN adjustment is from 1 to 3; 3 is the
highest. For manual adjustment, adjust the
sensitivity on the highest range—the
background noise is clearer on that range.
The range of GAIN adjustment is from 01
to 41. The proper setting is such that the
background noise is just visible on the
screen. If you set up for too little GAIN,
weak echoes may be missed.
On the contrary excessive GAIN yields too
much background noise; strong targets
may be missed because of the poor
contrast between desired echoes and the
background noise on the display.
How to adjust STC (suppressing
sea clutter)
Echoes from waves can be troublesome,
covering the central part of the display with
random signals known as sea clutter. The
higher the waves, and the higher the
antenna above the water, the further the
clutter will extend. Sea clutter appears on
the display as many small echoes which
might affect radar performance. (See the
left-hand figure in Figure 2-5).
The STC reduces the amplification of
echoes at short ranges (where clutter is the
greatest) and progressively increases
amplification as the range increases, so
amplification will be normal at those ranges
where there is no sea clutter. The control is
effective up to about 4 miles.
STC can be adjusted automatically or
manually. If you select AUTO, the STC
automatically adjusted. The range of STC
adjustment is from 1 to 3; 3 is the highest.
For manual adjustment, first adjust the gain
and then transmit on short range. The
range of STC adjustment is from 00 to 50.
Adjust the STC level such that the clutter is
broken up into small dots, and small targets
become distinguishable. If the setting is set
too low, targets will be hidden in the clutter,
while if it is set too high, both sea clutter
and targets will disappear from the display.
In most cases adjust so clutter has
disappeared to leeward, but a little is still
visible windward.
If there is no clutter visible on the display,
turn off the circuit.

How to adjust A.C RAIN and FTC
(suppressing rain clutter)
The vertical beamwidth of the antenna is
designed to see surface targets even when
the ship is rolling. However, by this design
the unit will also detect rain clutter (rain,
snow, hail, etc.) in the same manner as
normal targets. Figure 2-6 shows the
appearance of rain clutter on the display.
Adjusting A.C RAIN
When rain clutter masks echoes over a
wide range, raise the A.C RAIN slightly to
distinguish targets from the clutter.

Adjusting FTC
Manual tuning
To suppress rain clutter from heavy storms
or scattered rain clutter, adjust the FTC
among 0, 1 and 2 (0 is off). The FTC circuit
splits up these unwanted echoes into a
speckled pattern, making recognition of
solid targets easier. FTC and selected level
appear at the top right-hand corner of the
display when the circuit is turned on.
The default tuning method is automatic. To
switch to manual tuning;
Note: In addition to reducing clutter, the
FTC can be used in fine weather to
clarify the picture when navigating in
confined waters. However, with the
circuit activated the receiver is less
sensitive. Therefore, turn off the
circuit when its function is not
required.
1. Press the [MENU] key to open the
menu.
2. Press the omnipad at 6 o’clock to
select Tuning.
3. Press the omnipad at 3 o’clock to
select MANUAL.
4. Press the [ENT] key followed by the
[MENU] key.
How to tune manually
While pressing and holding down the [HM
OFF] key, press the 9 o'clock or 3 o'clock
position on the omnipad to tune. Tune to
show the longest tuning indicator.
2.9 Tuning the Receiver
The receiver can be tuned automatically or
manually. For automatic tuning the receiver
is tuned each time you switch from standby to transmit. For manual tuning, the
receiver is properly tuned when the longest
tuning indicator appears. (However, the
length of the indicator changes with the
number of radar echoes, range and other
factors.)

2.10 Measuring the Range
You can measure the range to a target
three ways: by the range rings, by the
cursor, and by the VRM (Variable Range
Marker).
By range rings
Press the [RINGS] key to display the range
rings. Count the number of rings between
the center of the display and the target.
Check the range ring interval (at the top left
corner) and judge the distance of the echo
from the inner edge of the nearest ring.
By cursor
Figure 2-7 Tuning indicator

Operate the omnipad to place the cursor
intersection on the inside edge of the target
echo. The range to the target, as well as
the bearing, appears at the bottom of the
display.
By VRM
2.11 Measuring the Bearing
1. Press the [VRM] key to display the
VRM.
There are two ways to measure the bearing
to a target: by the cursor, and by the EBL
(Electronic Bearing Line).
2. Press the omnipad to place the VRM
on the inside edge of the target.
3. Check the VRM readout at the bottom
left-hand corner of the display to find
the range to the target.
Note: The VRM is automatically anchored
if the omnipad is not operated within
about 10 seconds.
To erase the VRM, press and hold down
the [VRM] key for about two seconds.

Tips for measuring the bearing
2.12 Menu Operation
• Bearing measurements of smaller
targets are more accurate; the center of
larger target echoes is not as easily
identified.
The menu, consisting of six sub menus,
mostly contains less-often used functions
which once preset do not require regular
adjustment. To open or close the menu,
press the [MENU] key. You can select
items and options on the menu with the
omnipad.
• Bearings of stationary or slower moving
targets are more accurate than bearings
of faster moving targets.
• To minimize bearing errors keep echoes
in the outer half of the picture by
changing the range scale; angular
difference becomes difficult to resolve
as a target approaches the center of the
display.
Target on Collision course with your
vessel?
You can determine if a target might be
on a collision course with your vessel by
placing the EBL on the target. If it tracks
along the EBL as it approaches the
screen center it may be on a collision
course with your vessel.

2.16 Guard Alarm
An azimuth stabilized display in which a
line connecting the center with the top of
the display indicates own ship’s intended
course (namely, own ship’s previous
heading just before this mode has been
selected).
The guard alarm allows the operator to set
the desired range and bearing for a guard
zone. When ships, islands, landmasses,
etc. enter (or exit, depending on type of
guard zone in use) the guard zone an
audible alarm sounds to call the operator’s
attention. The alarm is very effective as an
anticollision aid when using an autopilot or
navigating in narrow channels.
Target pips are painted at their measured
distances and in their directions relative to
the intended course which is maintained at
the 0-degree position while the heading
line moves in accordance with ship’s
yawing and course change. This mode is
useful to avoid smearing of picture during
course change.
2-12
CAUTION
The guard alarm is a useful anti-collision aid,
but does not relieve the operator of the
responsibility to also keep a visual lookout
for possible collision situations. The alarm
should never be used as the sole means for
detecting possible collision situations.
Selecting guard zone type
The guard alarm can be set to sound on
targets entering (guard in) or exiting (guard
out) the guard zone. Select type of guard
zone as follows.
1. Press the [MENU] key to display the
menu.
2. Press the omnipad at 6 o’clock to
select Mode & Function and press the
[ENT] key.
3. Press the omnipad at 6 o’clock to

4. Press the omnipad at 3 o’clock/9
o’clock to select IN or OUT as
appropriate.
5. Press the [ENT] key followed by the
[MENU] key.
Setting the guard zone
1. Mentally create the guard zone you
want to display. See Figure 2-15 (1).
2. Operate the omnipad to set cursor on
top (bottom) left edge of the guard zone.
Press the [GUARD] key. *G (IN) (or G
(OUT)), with asterisk blinking, appears
at the top right-hand corner on the
display. (The asterisk indicates the
guard zone is partially set.) See Figure
2-15 (2).
3. Operate the omnipad to set cursor on
bottom (top) right edge of the guard
zone and press the [GUARD] key. The
asterisk disappears. See Figure 2-15
(3).
4. Guard zone appears on the display.
See Figure 2-15 (4).
Silencing the audible alarm
Any ships, landmasses, etc. coming into
(or going out of) the guard zone will trigger
the audible alarm and display the guard
zone in reverse video. You can silence the
alarm by pressing the [GUARD] key. When
this is done, G (ACKN) replaces G (IN) (or
G (OUT)).
Press the [GUARD] key again to reactivate
the alarm. G (IN) (or G (OUT)) replaces G

Canceling the guard zone
Press and hold down the [GUARD] key
until the guard zone disappears.
Notes on the guard alarm
• When the radar range is less than one
half of the guard zone range, the guard
zone disappears from the display and
G (IN) (or G (OUT)) is displayed in
reverse video. If this happens, raise the
range to redisplay the guard zone.
• A target echo does not always mean a
landmass, reef, ships or surface objects
but can imply returns from sea surface
or precipitation. As the level of these
returns varies with environment, the
operator should properly adjust the STC,
GAIN (sensitivity), A. C RAIN and FTC
to be sure the alarm system does not
overlook target echoes.
2.17 Suppressing Radar
Interference
Radar interference may occur when near
another shipborne radar operating in the
same frequency band as your radar. Its onscreen appearance is many bright dots
either scattered at random or in the form of
dotted lines extending from the center to
the edge of the display. Figure 2-16
illustrates interference in the form of curved
spokes. Interference effects are
distinguishable from normal echoes
because they do not appear in the same
place on successive rotations of the
antenna.

Fixed time trails
You can show the trails of targets in
afterglow. This function is useful for alerting
you to possible collision situations.
When the elapsed time clock counts up to
the trail time selected, the elapsed time
display freezes. The oldest portions of trails
are erased so only the latest trail, equal in
length to the trail time selected, is shown.
Then, trails start extending again. For
example, the one minute trail time is
selected. When the elapsed time display
freezes at 60 seconds, all but the latest one
minute of trails are erased and then trailing
continues.

3. INTERPRETING THE DISPLAY
As an aid to navigation, radar can be a very
valuable tool. No other electronic
navigation aid can give you the ability to
spot vessels coming at you in the fog, or
tell you the location of the inlet to the
harbor in the pitch black of night.
To help you understand what your radar
can (and cannot) do for you this chapter
covers
• the characteristics of the radar wave
• target properties and radar wave
reflection
• range and bearing resolution, and
• false echoes.
3.1 The Radar Wave and Radar
Horizon
How the radar wave travels
The radar wave tends to travel in straight
lines at the speed of light. However, it is
subject to bending or refraction in the
atmosphere, the amount depending on
region and density.
Super-refraction
Super-refraction is a condition in which
there is an upper layer of warm dry air over
a surface layer of cold, moist air. Radar
waves bend downward and thus increase
the ranges at which targets may be
detected.
Sub-refraction
Sub-refraction is the reverse condition of
super-refraction; a layer of cold air is above
a layer of warm air. Radar waves bend
upward and thus decrease the ranges at
which targets may be detected.
Radar horizon
Radar is essentially a “line-of-sight”
phenomenon. That means you have just
about the same range to horizon with a
radar as you do with your own eyes.
However under normal atmospheric
conditions, the radar horizon is 6% greater
than the optical horizon. Therefore, if the
target does not rise above the horizon the
radar beam cannot be reflected from the
target.
The distance to the horizon from the
antenna, under normal conditions, is
calculated by the following formula.
Rmax = 2.2 × h 1 + h 2
Where Rmax: Radar horizon (mile), h1:
Antenna height (meters), h2: Target height

3.2 Target Properties and
Radar Wave Reflection
Generally, larger targets can be seen on
the radar display at greater ranges,
provided line-of-sight exists between the
scanner and target. However, a large target
with poor reflecting properties may not be
detected as easily as a smaller target with
better reflecting properties. For example,
you might expect a lighthouse to be a good
radar target because of its size. In actuality
the return echo is weak since the conical
shape diffuses most of the radiated energy.
A ship whose hull is made of conducting
materials, such as steel, will return a
relatively strong echo.
On the other hand, hulls made from wood
or fiberglass return much weaker echoes.
Vertical surfaces, such as a cliff, are good
targets provided they face the radar.
Conversely, horizontal and smooth
surfaces such as mudbanks, sandy
beaches, and gently sloping hills make
poor targets because they disperse rather
than reflect most of the energy that strikes
them.
The strongest radar echoes known come
from built-up areas, docks, etc., because
these targets are less subject to changes in
aspect. These types of targets have three
flat, smooth surfaces mutually at right
angles. Some radar buoys are arranged
this way so as to deliberately increase their
detection range.
3-2
3.3 Range Resolution
Range resolution is a measure of the
capability of a radar to display as separate
pips the echoes received from two targets
which are on the same bearing and are
close together.
The main factor which affects range
resolution is pulselength. Two targets on
the same bearing, close together, cannot
be seen as two distinct echoes on the
display unless they are separated by a
distance greater than one-half the
pulselength.

Radar cannot display targets as
separate echoes because they
are within the pulselength.

3.4 Bearing Resolution
Bearing resolution is a measure of the
capability of a radar to display as separate
targets the echoes received from two
targets which are at the same range and
are close together.
The principal factor which affects bearing
resolution is horizontal beamwidth. Two
targets at the same range must be
separated by more than one beamwidth to
appear as separate pips.

3.5 False Echoes
Occasionally false echoes appear on the
screen at positions where there is no target.
In some cases the effects can be reduced
or eliminated. The operator should
familiarize himself or herself with the
appearance and effects of these false
echoes, so as not to confuse them with
echoes from legitimate contacts.
Figure 3-4 Multiple echoes
Side-lobe echoes
Every time the antenna rotates, some
radiation escapes on each side of the
beam-called “side-lobes.” If a target exists
where it can be detected by the side-lobes
as well as the main-lobe, the side-lobe
echoes may be represented on both sides
of the true echo at the same range, as
shown in Figure 3-5. Side-lobes show
usually only at short ranges and from
strong targets. They can be reduced
through careful reduction of the sensitivity
or proper adjustment of the STC.
True echo
Main-lobe
Multiple echoes
Multiple echoes occur when a short range,
strong echo is received from a ship, bridge,
or breakwater. A second, a third or more
echoes may be observed on the display at
double, triple or other multiples of the
actual range of the target as shown in
Figure 3-4. Multiple reflection echoes can
be reduced and often removed by
decreasing the sensitivity or properly
adjusting the STC.

Indirect echoes
Blind and shadow sectors
Indirect echoes may be returned from
either a passing ship or returned from a
reflecting surface on your own ship, for
example, a stack. In both cases, the echo
will return from a legitimate contact to the
antenna by the same indirect path. The
echo will appear on the same bearing of
the reflected surface, but at the same
range as the direct echo. Figure 3-6
illustrates the effect of an indirect echo.
Indirect echoes may be recognized as
follows:
Funnels, stacks, masts, or derricks in the
path of antenna may reduce the intensity of
the radar beam. If the angle subtended at
the antenna is more than a few degrees a
blind sector may be produced. Within the
blind sector small targets at close range
may not be detected while larger targets at
much greater ranges may be detected. See
Figure 3-7.

Screen A: When SART
is distant
Note: The SART (Search and Rescue
Transponder) information below is
excerpted from IMO SN/Circ 197
Operation of Marine Radar for SART
Detection.
Position of
SART
A Search and Rescue Transponder (SART)
may be triggered by any X-Band (3 cm)
radar within a range of approximately 8 nm.
Each radar pulse received causes it to
transmit a response which is swept
repetitively across the complete radar
frequency band. When interrogated, it first
sweeps rapidly (0.4 µs) through the band
before beginning a relatively slow sweep
(7.5 µs) through the band back to the
starting frequency. This process is
repeated for a total of twelve complete
cycles. At some point in each sweep, the
SART frequency will match that of the
interrogating radar and be within the pass
band of the radar receiver. If 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 SART is reduced to
about 1 nm, the radar display may show
also the 12 responses generated during
the fast 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.

Figure 3-8 Appearance of SART signal

General procedure for detecting
SART response
1. Use the range scale of 6 or 12 nm as
the spacing between the SART
responses is about 0.6 nm (1125 m) to
distinguish the SART.
2. Turn off the automatic clutter
suppression.
3. Turn off the Interference Rejector.
General remarks on receiving
SART
SART range errors
When responses from only the 12 low
frequency 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 position of the SART.
When the range closes so that the fast
sweep responses are seen also, the first of
these will be no more than 150 meters
beyond the true position.
3-5
Radar bandwidth
STC control
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 bandwidths of 10-25 MHz
with short pulses on short ranges.
For optimum range SART detection, this
control should be set to the minimum. Care
should be exercised as a 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,
irrespective of the setting of the anti-clutter
sea control. In this case, the position of the
SART may be estimated by measuring 9.5
nm miles from the furthest dot back
towards own ship.
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, sidelobes
from the radar antenna may show the
SART responses 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 sidelobes as they may be
easier to detect in clutter conditions and
also they will confirm that the SART is near
to the ship.
GAIN
For maximum range SART detection the
normal gain setting for long range detection
should be used, that is, with background
noise speckle visible.
3-6
Some sets have automatic/manual anticlutter sea control facilities in which case
the operator should switch to manual.
FTC 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 Racon 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 anticlutter rain control facilities in which case
the operator should switch to manual.
When the range to the SART is reduced to
about 1 nm, the radar display may show
also the 12 responses generated during
the fast 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.
3.7 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
radar, 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 (see figure below)
displayed radially from just beyond the
beacon.

4. MAINTENANCE &
TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter tells you how to keep your
radar in good working order. Before
reviewing this chapter please read the
safety information which follows.
WARNING
Do not open the equipment.
Only qualified personnel should
work inside the equipment.
RF RADIATION HAZARD
The radar antenna emits high
frequency radio radiation which
can be harmful, particularly to your eyes.
Never look directly into the antenna from a
distance of less than 1 m when the radar is
in operation as you could injure the cornea
of your eyes. Always make sure the radar is
set to stand-by or is turned off before
starting work on the antenna unit.
4.1 Preventative
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is important for good
performance. Always keep the equipment
as free as possible from dirt, dust, and
water splashes. Make sure all screws
securing the components are properly
tightened.
A maintenance program should be
established and should at least include the
items listed in Table 4-1.

Check for corrorded or loosened nuts
and bolts. If necessary, clean and
repaint them thickly. Replace them if
heavily corroded.
Sealing compound may be used
instead of paint. Apply a small
amount of grease between nuts
and bolts for easy removal in future.
Antenna
radiator
Check for dirt and cracks on radiator
surface. thick dirt should be wiped off
with soft cloth dampened with fresh
water. If a crack is found, apply a slight
amount of sealing compound or
adhesive as a temporary remedy, then
call for repair.
Do not use plastic solvent (acetone)
for cleaning. If you need to remove
ice from antenna unit, use a
wooden hammer or plastic head
hammer. Crack on the unit may
cause water ingress, causing
serious damages to internal circuits.
Terminal
strips and
plugs in
antenna unit
Open antenna cover to check terminal
strip and plug connections inside. Also
check the rubber gasket of antenna
covers for deterioration.
When closing antenna covers in
position, be careful not to catch
loose wires between covers and
unit.
LCD
The LCD will, in time, accumulate a
coating of dust which tends to dim the
picture. Wipe LCD lightly with a soft
cloth.
Do not use chemical cleaners to
clean any part of the display unit;
they can remove paint and
markings.
Check for tight connection and
corrosion.
If corroded, contact your dealer
for replacement.

4.2 Replacing the Fuse
4.3 Troubleshooting
The fuse in the power cable protects the
equipment against reverse polarity of ship’s
mains, overcurrent, and equipment fault. If
the fuse blows, find the cause before
replacing it. Never use an incorrect fuse–
serious damage to equipment may result
and void the warranty.
Table 4-2 contains simple troubleshooting
procedures which you can follow to try to
restore normal operation. If you cannot
restore normal operation, do not attempt to
check inside any unit of the radar system.
Any repair work is best left to a qualified
technician.
