ARNING
Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard
The radar antenna emits electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy which can be harmful,
particularly to your eyes. Never look directly into the antenna aperture from a close distance
while the radar is in operation or expose yourself to the transmitting antenna at a close
distance. Distances at which RF radiation level of 100, 50 and 10 W/m2 are given in the
table below.
Note: If the antenna unit is installed at a close distance in front of the wheel house, your
administration may require halt of transmission within a certain sector of antenna revolution.
This is possible. Ask your FURUNO representative or dealer to provide this feature.

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
WARNING
Use the proper fuse.
Do not open the equipment.
Only qualified personnel
should work inside the
equipment.
Turn off the radar power
switch before servicing the
antenna unit. Post a warning sign near the switch
indicating it should not be
turned on while the antenna
unit is being serviced.
Prevent the potential risk of
being struck by the rotating
antenna and exposure to
RF radiation hazard.
Wear a safety belt and hard
hat when working on the
antenna unit.
Serious injury or death can
result if someone falls from
the radar antenna mast.
Use of a wrong fuse can result in damage
to the equipment or cause fire.
Keep heater away from equipment.
Heat can alter equipment shape and melt
the power cord, which can cause fire or
electrical shock.
Do not place liquid-filled containers
near the equipment.
Fire or electrical shock can result if a liquid
spills into the equipment.
Do not operate the equipment with wet
hands.
Electrical shock can result.
Before servicing the radar, turn off
the appropriate external breaker.
Power is not removed from the radar simply
by turning off its power switch.
Do not disassemble or modify the
equipment.
Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can
result.
Immediately turn off the power at the
ship's mains switchboard if water
leaks into the equipment or the equipment is emitting smoke or fire.
Continued use can cause fatal damage to
the equipment.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
WARNING
WARNIN
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 TT automatically tracks automatically or
manually acquired radar targets and
calculates their courses and speeds,
indicating them by vectors. 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.
The plotting accuracy and response of
this TT 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 and target)
The data generated by TT, AIS and
video plotter are intended for
reference only.
Refer to official nautical charts for detailed and
up-to-date information.
WARNING LABEL
Warning labels are attached to the equipment. Do not remove any label. If a label is
missing or damaged, contact a FURUNO agent or dealer about replacement.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, do not
remove cover. No user-serviceable
parts inside.
DANGER
Electrical shock hazard.
Do not toutch parts inside this cover.

FOREWORD
A Word to the Owner of FAR-1513/FAR-1518 Series
Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO FAR-1513/FAR-1518 Series. We are confident
you will see why FURUNO has become synonymous with quality and reliability.
Since 1948, FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for innovative and
dependable marine electronics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our
extensive global network of agents and dealers.
Your radar is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine environment.
However, no machine can perform its intended function unless installed, operated and maintained
properly. Please carefully read and follow the recommended procedures for operation and
maintenance.
We would appreciate hearing from you, the end-user, about whether we are achieving our
purposes.
Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO equipment.
Features
• Two methods of operation are available: RCU-028 (standard supply control unit) and RCU-030
(optional trackball unit). The ergonomically designed palm rest on the RCU-030 makes it easy
to use.

• TT, AIS, Radar Map and Interswitch are supplied as standard.
• CPA/TCPA alarms.
• Targets activate the user-set alarm zone when entering or exiting the zone.
• The target analyzer function helps to find targets in high noise areas (rain/snow) or where there
is interference from surface reflections.
• Compliant with the following directives: IEC62388, IEC 62288, IMO MSC. 192(79).
This radar also compiles with MED 96/98/EC and its amendment 2002/75/EC of September 2,
2002 and also complies with the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC. In accordance with Article 6-3 of
the above-mentioned R&TTE directive, FURUNO intends to put this radar on the market of the
following countries in EU as well other markets.

FOREWORD
Signal processing functions
This radar has the signal processing functions listed in the table below.
Function
Interference rejector
Echo stretch
Echo averaging
Automatic clutter elimination
Noise rejector
xii
Description
Suppresses interference by other radars.
Interference received simultaneously from multiple
radars may be difficult to reduce.
Enlarges target echoes, especially small echoes.
Suppress interference, sea clutter and rain clutter
before using echo stretch, to prevent enlargement of
unwanted echoes.
The radar samples echoes with each scan.
Targets that show a large change with each scan are
judged as clutter and are reduced to display only
echoes from legitimate targets.
Discriminates clutter from the radar echo, then
reduces the clutter automatically.
Reduces white noise then improves the on-screen
S/N ratio by processing the weighted moving
average filter for the received echoes in the range
direction. Use this function with caution. Weak target
echoes may disappear from the screen or the range
resolution may worsen.

How to Turn the Radar On/Off
The POWER switch
is located at the bottom left corner of the control unit. Open
the POWER switch cover and press the switch to turn the radar system on. To turn the
system off, press the POWER switch again. The screen shows the bearing scale and
digital timer for approximately 30 seconds after power is applied. The timer counts
down three minutes of warm-up time. During this period, the magnetron (transmitter
tube) is warmed for transmission. When the timer has reached 0:00, the indication
"ST-BY" appears at the screen center, meaning the radar is now ready to transmit
pulses.
In the stand-by condition, markers, rings, maps, etc. are not shown. Further, TT and
AIS are not shown. In the warm-up and stand-by conditions, [ON TIME] and [TX TIME]
are counted in hours and tenths of an hour, appearing at the screen center.
Note 1: Do not turn on the power directly after it has been turned off. Wait several
seconds before you reapply the power, to be sure the radar starts up properly.
Note 2: Parameters set on the menus are stored in a non-volatile memory (flash
memory), and are preserved when the power is turned off.
Note 3: The screen refreshes slower in low ambient temperature.
