Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard
The radar antenna emits electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy that 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Do not open the equipment.
The equipment uses high voltage that
can cause electrical shock. Refer any
repair work to a qualified technician.
Before turning on the radar, be sure
no one is near the antenna.
Prevent the potential risk of being
struck by the rotating antenna, which
can result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
Do not operate the equipment with
wet hands.
Electrical shock can result.
Keep objects away from the opentype antenna unit, so as not to
impede rotation of the antenna.
Fire, electrical shock or serious injury
can result.
Use the proper fuse.
If water leaks into the equipment or
something is dropped into the
equipment, immediately turn off the
power at the switchboard.
WARNING
Fire or electrical shock can result.
If the equipment is giving off smoke
or fire, immediately turn off the
power at the switchboard.
Fire or electrical shock can result.
If you feel the equipment is acting
abnormally or giving off strange
noises, immediately turn off the
power at the switchboard and
contact a FURUNO service technician.
Do not disassemble or modify the
equipment.
Fire, electrical shock or serious injury
can result.
Make sure no rain or water splash
leaks into the equipment.
Fire or electrical shock can result if
water leaks into the equipment.
Use of the wrong fuse can cause fire or
damage the equipment.
The TT function is a valuable aid to
navigation. However, the navigator
must check all aids available to
avoid collision.
- The TT automatically tracks an
automatically or manually acquired
radar target and calculates its course
and speed, indicating them with a
vector. Since the data generated by
the TT depends on the selected radar
targets, the radar must be optimally
tuned for use with the TT, to ensure
required targets will not be lost or
unnecessary targets, like sea returns
and noise, will not be acquired and
tracked.
- A target is not always a landmass,
reef, ship, but can also be returns
from the sea surface and from clutter.
As the level of clutter changes with
the environment, the operator must
correctly adjust the sea and rain
clutter controls and the gain control so
that the target echoes do not disappear from the radar screen.
Do not place liquid-filled containers
on or near the equipment.
Fire or electrical shock can result if a
liquid spills into the equipment.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
CAUTIO
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 approx. 15-30 seconds for
the higher relative speed; approx. 30-60
seconds for the lower relative speed. The
following factors can affect accuracy:
- Echo intensity
- Radar transmission pulse length
- Radar bearing error
- Gyrocompass error
- Course change (own ship and targets)
Handle the LCD carefully.
The LCD is made of glass, which can
cause injury if broken.
The data presented by this equipment
is intended as a source of navigation
information.
The prudent navigator never relies
exclusively on any one source of
navigation information, for safety of
vessel and crew.
iv
Warning Label(s)
Warning label(s) is(are) attached to the
equipment. Do not remove the label(s). 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.
WARNING
Radiation hazard. Only qualified
personnel should work inside scanner.
Confirm that TX has stopped before
opening scanner.

• Many warning features to support safer and more efficient navigation.
• Grounding warnings, safe depth contours.
• Chart database loaded and updated using CD-ROMs.
• Tracked Target (TT) data and AIS data to aid in collision avoidance.
• AIS messaging.
• Route created in chart mode can be displayed on the radar.
• Route planning and route monitoring facilities in the chart mode.
Signal Processing Functions
This radar has the signal processing functions described in the table below. All signal processing
functions are set with the picture preset feature.
Signal processing function
Interference rejector
Echo stretch
Echo averaging
Automatic clutter elimination
Noise rejector
Description
Section
Suppress interference transmitted by other radars. Inter2.7
ference received simultaneously from many radars can
be difficult to reduce.
Enlarge target echoes, especially small echoes. Sup2.8
press interference, sea clutter and rain clutter before using echo stretch, to prevent the enlargement of unwanted
echoes.
2.9
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.
Discriminate the clutter from the radar echo then reduce
2.10
the clutter automatically.
2.11
Reduce the 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.
Standards Used in this Manual
• Three types of Control Units are available: Radar Control Unit RCU-025 (radar controls with
trackball module), ECDIS Control Unit RCU-024 (alphabet keyboard, controls, trackball module) and Trackball Control Unit RCU-026 (trackball module only). Unless noted otherwise, “Control Unit” refers to the RCU-025.
• The system can be operated with the controls of the Radar Control Unit, ECDIS Control Unit or
a trackball module. The descriptions in this manual use the trackball module.
• Unless noted otherwise, "click" means to push the left button on a trackball module.
• The keys and controls of the Radar Control Unit are shown in bold face; for example, the ENTER key.
xviii
FOREWORD
• The buttons on the InstantAccess bar, Status bar and menu items are shown in brackets; for
example, the [TUNE] button.
• Context-sensitive menus are available with many buttons, and boxes and objects. Right-click
an item to display the related context-sensitive menu.
• This radar is available in three types of specifications: IMO, A, or B. This manual provides the
descriptions for the B type, of which some functions are not available with the IMO or A type.
See the menu tree in Appendix 1 for function availability.

Virus Prevention
This equipment is not equipped with a virus checker. This equipment operates in real time; therefore, having a virus checker that periodically checks the equipment for viruses would increase the
processing load, which can affect operation. However, you can avoid viruses by following the instructions in this section.
When you update a chart
The PC and medium (USB flash memory, etc.) used to download and store an update for an existing chart or a new chart may be infected with a virus. Check the PC and the medium for viruses
with a commercial virus checker - BEFORE you connect them to the ECDIS. Be sure the virus
checker contains the latest virus definition files.
Network connection
The ECDIS receives and displays information from various navigation equipment and radar via a
LAN. A PC and other equipment connected to a network can carry viruses. To prevent the introduction of a virus to the LAN, DO NOT connect the ECDIS or HUB to an external network, including other shipboard LAN.
Do not install 3rd party programs in the ECDIS
Programs installed via an external network can carry viruses that can cause the ECDIS to malfunction. Do not install any Windows® software.

Turns the system on or off. (With a FURUNO monitor unit, the monitor is
also turned on or off with this switch.)
The color and state of the LED change according to system or alert status.
Green, lighting: Normal operation status; no alerts generated.
Green, flashing: The heater on the CPU board is on, because ambient
temperature is not at least 0°C. The heater takes about two minutes to
warm the equipment. The LED lights green after the heater goes off.
Red, lighting: Acknowledged alert or SYSTEM FAIL. SYSTEM FAIL occurs when there is trouble in the Processor Unit or communication failure
between the Processor Unit and a Control Unit. Each Control Unit detects
trouble and its lamp flashes in red and the buzzer sounds. If this condition
occurs at the No. 1 Control Unit, the SYSTEM FAIL signal is output.
Red, flashing: Unacknowledged alert or SYSTEM FAIL.
Rotary control: Adjusts the active EBL.
EBL1, EBL2: Activates or deactivates the respective EBL.

Processor Unit EC-3000
The Processor Unit is the heart of the chart system, and is mainly responsible for the
chart management, route planning and route navigation.
The Processor Unit has two power switches. The Mains switch controls the power
from the switchboard, and the Power switch controls the power to the chart radar system.
DVD
drive
Mains switch
Power switch
Note 1: Do not operate the chart radar with a DVD or CD inserted in the DVD drive,
to prevent damage to the drive and media. Remove media from the drive after usage.
Insert media only to update charts. After completion of an update, remove the media
from its drive and store it in its case. Store media out of direct sunlight, in a place
where temperature and humidity are moderate and stable.
Note 2: To keep the system stable, restart the unit at least once every two weeks.
Note 3: Close the lid of the DVD drive when the drive is not in use.
1.2
How to Turn the System On/Off
Normally, leave the power switches at the front of the Processor Unit on and control
the power with the power switch on a Control Unit (RCU-025, RCU-026). The monitor
unit is powered independently.
How to power the system
Push the mains switch on the Processor Unit for the "I" position. Turn on the power
switch on the Processor Unit or a Control Unit. The start-up display appears on the
monitor.
After the power is applied, the program starts up and about one minute later the bearing scale appears. The radar then goes into three minutes of warm-up time to warm
the magnetron, which transmits radar pulses. The timer at the center of the screen
counts the time remaining for warm-up. When the timer shows 0:00, the indication
"ST-BY" appears at the screen center. The radar is now ready to transmit radar pulses. In the stand-by condition, no radar pulses are transmitted and TT nor AIS is active.
The settings on the menus are stored in a non-volatile memory (hard disk) and are
preserved when the power is turned off.
Note 1: The solid state radar does not have a magnetron, therefore it has no warming
period.
1-5
1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
Note 2: If the ambient temperature is less than 0°C (32°F) when the power is applied,
nothing appears on the display and the Status LED on the Control Unit flashes. This
is because the heater is warming the unit. The display appears in approx. two minutes.
How to power off the system
Press the power switch on the Processor Unit or a Control Unit. Push the Mains switch
for the "O" position.
Note: Provided that the radar was once in use with the transmitter tube (magnetron)
still warm, you can put the radar in transmit state without three minutes of warm-up. If
the Power switch was turned off by mistake or the like and you wish to restart the radar
promptly, turn on the Power switch not later than 10 seconds after power-off.
1.3
How to Select a Color Palette
This radar provides three sets of color and brilliance sets (palette), day, dusk and
night, to match any ambient lighting condition. The default specifications of each palette are as shown in the table below. The panel dimmer setting is automatically
changed, and the number of steps depends on the color palette selected.

How to Adjust the Display Brilliance (FURUNO
monitor)
The brilliance setting is defined according to the color palette setting (see section 1.3).
However, manual adjustment of the brilliance is also possible.
Note 1: The brilliance of the FURUNO monitor can only be adjusted from the Control
Unit. Use a serial cable for brilliance adjustment to make the connection between the
Processor Unit and the Control Unit.
Note 2: Improper brilliance may affect the visibility of information, especially on the
night display.
How to adjust the brilliance manually with the BRILL control
Operate the BRILL control to adjust brilliance. Turn it clockwise to increase the brilliance; counterclockwise to decrease the brilliance. Watch the brilliance level indication on the [BRILL] button (see the illustration below) to see the current brilliance level.

menu.
Notes on speed input
• IMO Resolution A.823(19) for TT requires that a speed log to be interfaced with a
TT should be capable of providing through-the-water speed (forward speed).
• A single-axis water log cannot measure speed when the wind is coming from the
leeway direction.
• When AIS is active, [Manual], [Reference SPD] and [Set Drift] are shown in gray to
indicate that they are not available for selection.
