Chapter 4: ARPA Operation
This Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (ARPA) tracks the movement of up to 30 radar tar-
gets. Targets can be acquired manually or automatically. All 30 targets can be ac-
quired manually when the ARPA acquisition area is inactive. With the acquisition area
that total is equally divided between manual and auto acquisition.
ARPA requires speed and heading data. The symbols used in this radar comply with
IEC 60872-1.
WARNING
No one navigational aid should be relied
upon for the safety of vessel and crew.
The navigator has the responsibility to
check all aids available to confirm
position. Electronic aids are not
a substitute for basic navigational
principles and common sense.
• This auto plotter automatically tracks an
automatically or manually acquired radar
target and calculates its course and
speed, indicating them by a vector. Since
the data generated by the auto plotter
are based on what radar targets are
selected, the radar must always be
optimally tuned for use with the auto
plotter, to ensure required targets will not
be lost or unwanted targets such as sea
returns and noise will not be acquired
and tracked.
• A target does not always mean a land-
mass, reef, ships or other surface vessels
but can imply returns from sea surface
and clutter. As the level of clutter changes
with environment, the operator should
properly adjust the A/C SEA, A/C RAIN
and GAIN controls to be sure target
echoes are not eliminated from the
radar screen.
CAUTION
The plotting accuracy and response of
this auto plotter meets IMO standards.
Tracking accuracy is affected by the
following:
• Tracking accuracy is affected by course
change. One to two minutes is required to
restore vectors to full accuracy after an
abrupt course change. (The actual
amount depends on gyrocompass
specifications.)
• The amount of tracking delay is inversely
proportional to the relative speed of the
target. Delay is on the order of 15–30
seconds for high relative speed; 30–60
seconds for low relative speed.
Display accuracy is affected by the
following:
• Echo intensity
• Radar transmission pulsewidth
• Radar bearing error
• Gyrocompass error
• Course change (own ship or target)

4.1 Enabling, Disabling ARPA
1. On the Chart Plotter or Radar display, long-push the Rotary Knob.
2. Select the Targets ROTOkey and push the Rotary Knob.
3. Select the ARPA ROTOkey.
4. Push the Rotary Knob to alternately enable and disable the ARPA display.
4.2 Manually Acquiring a Target
1. Use the Cursorpad to put the cursor on the target you want to acquire.
2. Press the right-button key to show the Radar pop-up menu.
3. Select Acquire Target and push the Rotary Knob.
A target just acquired is marked with a broken square and a vector appears within 20
scans of the antenna to indicate the target's motion trend. Within 60 scans, the initial
tracking stage is finished and the target becomes ready for stable tracking. At this
point, the broken square mark changes to a solid circle. (Targets automatically ac-
quired are distinguished from those acquired manually. The targets which are ac-
quired manually are displayed by bold symbol.)
Note 1: For successful acquisition, the target to be acquired should be within 0.2 to
32 nm from own ship and not obscured by sea or rain clutter.
Note 2: When the capacity for manual acquisition is reached, an appropriate message
appears in the text message area. Cancel tracking of non-threatening targets if you
wish to acquire additional targets manually.
Note 3: Acquisition is also possible with the ROTOkeys. Select the target to acquire,
long-push the Rotary Knob, choose the Target ROTOkey followed by the Acquire RO-
TOkey.
4.3 Clearing a Lost Target
On the radar or chart plotter display, place the cursor on the lost target and select the
ROTOkeys Target and Clear Lost.
ARPA
Symbol Meaning
Immediately after acquisition.
Within 20 scans of the antenna after acquisition, a vector appears to show a trend
of movement.
Within 60 scans of the antenna after acquisition, the plotting symbol changes to a
small circle, indicating steady-state tracking condition.
Lost target is indicated by flashing diamond symbol. The diamond is formed from
two equal triangles.

4.4 Cancelling Tracking of Targets
ARPA targets can be cancelled individually or collectively as shown below. All targets
can also be cancelled from the Radar pop-up menu.
1. For cancelling individual target, use the Cursorpad to put the cursor on the tar-
get you want to cancel tracking.
2. Long-push the Rotary Knob.
3. Select the Targets ROTOkey and push the Rotary Knob.
4. Select the Cancel or Cancel All ROTOkey as applicable and push the Rotary
Knob.
Tracking is cancelled and targets are erased from the screen.
4.5 CPA/TCPA Alarm
The CPA/TCPA alarm is useful for alerting to possible collision situations. With the
alarm active, the ARPA continuously 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 CPA of any target becomes smaller than a preset CPA alarm
range and its predicted TCPA less than a preset TCPA alarm limit, the buzzer sounds
and an appropriate text message appears. In addition, the ARPA symbol changes to
a triangle and flashes together with its vector.
Provided that this feature is used correctly, it will help prevent the risk of collision by
alerting you to threatening targets. However, it is important that gain, sea and rain con-
trols are properly adjusted.
CPA/TCPA alarm ranges must be set up properly taking into consideration the size,
tonnage, speed, turning performance and other characteristics of own ship.
Setting the CPA/TCPA Alarm
1. Press the MENU key to open the menu.
2. Select the Radar sub menu.
3. Select CPA/TCPA Alarm.

6. Press the MENU key to close the menu.
Acknowledging the CPA/TCPA Alarm
The CPA/TCPA alarm sounds when the CPA and/or TCPA of an ARPA target is within
the CPA/TCPA alarm range. To acknowledge and silence the CPA/TCPA alarm,
press the CANCEL key. The audio alarm is silenced and the symbol stops flashing.
Disabling the CPA/TCPA Alarm

Chapter 8:Maintenance,
Troubleshooting
This chapter provides information on maintenance and possible causes of problems
that you may experience.
8.1 Maintenance
Regular maintenance is necessary to maintain performance. Check the items listed in
the table below monthly to keep your unit in good working order.
Routine maintenance
Check item Check point Remedy
Cabling Check that all cabling is
securely fastened and is
free or rust and corrosion.
Reconnect if necessary. Replace if damaged.
Cabinet Dust on cabinets Remove dust with a dry clean cloth. Do not use
commercial cleaners for cleaning - they can
remove paint and markings and deform the
equipment.
LCD (For DCU12) The LCD will, in time, accu-
mulate a coating of dust
which tends to dim the pic-
ture.
Carefully wipe the LCD to prevent scratching,
using tissue paper and an LCD cleaner. To
remove dirt or salt deposits, use an LCD cleaner,
wiping slowly with tissue paper so as to dissolve
the dirt or salt. Change paper frequently so the
salt or dirt will not scratch the LCD. Do not use
commercial cleaners for cleaning - they can
remove paint and markings and deform the
equipment.
Radar antenna Foreign material on the
radar antenna can reduce
sensitivity.
Foreign material on the radar antenna can
reduce sensitivity. Clean the antenna with a
freshwater-moistened cloth. Do not use com-
mercial cleaners to clean the antenna - they can
remove paint and markings and deform the
equipment.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not open the equipment.
Only qualified personnel
should work inside the
equipment.

8.2 Replacing Fuses
The processor unit has two fuses (10A, 24V, 20A, 12V) which protect the system from
overcurrent and equipment fault. If the power cannot be turned on a fuse may have
blown. Find out the reason for the blown fuse before replacing it. If the fuse blows
again after replacement, contact your dealer for advice.
8.3 Replacing Battery
The lithium battery on the Mother board in the processor unit backs up data when the
power is turned off. The life of the battery is about three years. When its voltage is low
the battery icon appears at the top of the display. When the icon appears, contact your
dealer to request replacement of the battery, at your earliest convenience.
8.4 Replacing the Magnetron
When the magnetron has expired, distant targets cannot be seen on the display.
When you feel that long range performance has decreased, contact a FURUNO agent
or dealer about replacement of the magnetron.
