ii SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The operator must read the safety instructions before attempting to operate the equipment.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. Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.100W/m2Radar modelFAR-3220/FAR-3320/FAR-3220-BBFAR-3210/FAR-3310/FAR-3210-BBFAR-3230S/FAR-3330S/FAR-3230S-BBFAR-3330SW/ FAR-3230SW-BBFAR-3320W/ FAR-3220W-BBTransceiver Magnetron Antenna 10W/m2 50W/m2 Warning, Caution Prohibitive Action Mandatory ActionRadio Frequency Radiation HazardWARNINGCAUTIONWARNINGRTR-105 FNE1201 XN12CFXN20CFXN24CFRTR-106 MG5436 XN12CFXN20CFXN24CFRTR-108 MG5436 XN20CFXN24CFRTR-107 MG5223F SN36CFRTR-109 MG5223F SN36CFMagnetron radar100W/m2Radar modelFAR-3230S-SSD/FAR-3330S-SSD/FAR-3230S-SSD-BBTransceiver Antenna 10W/m2 50W/m2 RTR-111 SN36CFSolid state radarN/AN/A N/A 1.0 m0.5 m 4.6 m0.6 m 1.4 m 4.4 m0.4 m 0.9 m 3.0 m0.3 m 0.6 m 2.5 m1.3 m 2.7 m 9.5 m1.0 m 1.7 m 6.8 m0.7 m 1.3 m 5.5 mN/A 0.26 m 2.3 m0.5 m 1.2 m 5.5 m0.3 m 0.9 m 4.0 m
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSiiiWARNINGDo 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.If water leaks into the equipment or something is dropped into the equipment, immediately turn off the power at the switchboard.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 techni-cian.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.Do not place liquid-filled containers on or 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.Keep objects away from the open-type antenna unit, so as not toimpede rotation of the antenna.Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can result.Use the proper fuse. 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 dis- appear from the radar screen.WARNING WARNING
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSivThe 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.WARNINGTo avoid electrical shock, do not remove cover. No user-serviceable parts inside.WARNINGRadiation hazard. Only qualified personnel should work inside scanner.Confirm that TX has stopped beforeopening scanner.Name: Warning Label 1Type: 86-003-1011-1Code No.: 100-236-231 Name: Warning StickerType: 03-142-3201-0Code No.: 100-266-890 Warning Label(s) Warning label(s) is(are) attached to the equipment.

FOREWORDxviii• New HMI (Human Machine Interface) gives improved operability.• Accepts SXGA, UXGA video inputs.• SOLAS category 1 compatible display (23.1”), SOLAS category 2 compatible display (19.0”).• Radar, chart and chart radar modes. (The chart radar mode does not meet the criteria for nav-igation aid for Japanese flag vessels as defined by Japanese law.)• 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 FunctionsThis radar has the signal processing functions described in the table below. All signal processing functions are set with the picture preset feature.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 mod-ule) and Trackball Control Unit RCU-026 (trackball module only). Unless noted otherwise, “Con-trol 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 EN-TER key. Signal processing function Description SectionInterference rejector Suppress interference transmitted by other radars. Inter-ference received simultaneously from many radars can be difficult to reduce.2.7Echo stretch Enlarge target echoes, especially small echoes. Sup-press interference, sea clutter and rain clutter before us-ing echo stretch, to prevent the enlargement of unwanted echoes.2.8Echo averaging 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.2.9Automatic clutter elimination Discriminate the clutter from the radar echo then reduce the clutter automatically.2.10Noise rejector 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 func-tion with caution. Weak target echoes may disappear from the screen or the range resolution may worsen.2.11
FOREWORDxix• 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.• “C-MAP” means “C-MAP by Jeppesen”.• The display colors mentioned in this manual are those with the color palette setting “Day-Gray”.Program NumberPlease access the following URL if you need software information:http://www.furuno.com/en/business_product/merchant/product/chartradar/software.htmlxx: Minor changeVirus PreventionThis equipment is not equipped with a virus checker. This equipment operates in real time; there-fore, 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 in-structions in this section. When you update a chartThe PC and medium (USB flash memory, etc.) used to download and store an update for an ex-isting 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 connectionThe 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.

1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW1-51.1.3 Processor Unit EC-3000The 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 sys-tem.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/OffNormally, 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 systemPush 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 bear-ing 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 puls-es. 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.Power switchDVD driveMains switch
1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW1-6Note 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 systemPress 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 PaletteThis 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 pal-ette 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.To select a palette, do the following:1. Click the [Palette] button.Palette Brilliance Panel dimmer (step)TextcolorBackgroundcolorMU-190 MU-231Day-gray 86 88 15 White GrayDay-blue 86 88 15 White BlueDusk-gray 77 79 7 Light gray Dark grayDusk-blue 77 79 7 Light gray Dark blueNight-gray 53 53 3 Orange Dark grayNight-blue 53 53 3 Light gray Dark blue [Palette] button

Click the palette (gray, blue) desired.Note: A palette can also be selected by pushing the BRILL control on the Control Unit.1.4 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 controlOperate the BRILL control to adjust brilliance. Turn it clockwise to increase the bril-liance; counterclockwise to decrease the brilliance. Watch the brilliance level indica-tion on the [BRILL] button (see the illustration below) to see the current brilliance level.How to adjust the brilliance manually with the InstantAccess knob1.
