ii Mandatory Action Prohibitive ActionWARNINGCAUTION Warning, CautionWARNINGRadio Frequency Radiation HazardThe 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/m2 Model Antenna 10W/m2 FAR-1467DSSN24AFSN30AF0.6 m0.5 m8.5 m7.7 mSAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
iiiWARNINGWARNING WARNINGDo 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-n-type antenna unit, so as not to impede 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 electrical shock.Do not depend on one navigation device for the navigation of the ship. The navigator must check all aids available to confirm position.- 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 clutterAs 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.

Tuning bar 1.7 Display Modes This radar has the display modes of Head-up, Cursor gyro, Stern-up, Course-up, North-up and True Motion. Each display mode is explained in Chapter 1.7.2. Display modes except Head-up and Stern-up need heading signal. For True Motion, connection to GPS navigation equipment is necessary. The true-view display function enables smooth rotation of radar echo in accordance with own ship’s turns in Head-up, Cursor gyro and Stern-up modes only. When Gyrocompass is connected Gyrocompass readings and heading values in the information display area of this equipment need to be matched accurately when receiving analog signal (Synchronization or Step signal) from gyrocompass. (Setting method: Main menu → Echo → GC-10, See chapter 2.11.1.)
91.7.1 Selecting display mode Press the [Select mode] key several times to select display mode necessary. Name of the display mode currently being selected is displayed in the display mode box at the upper left section on the screen. Presentation mode box Note 1: When heading signal is interrupted, the blinking message “Sensor Error Gyro” appears in the alarm section in the information display area. Heading reading in the information display area becomes “xxx°” and the North mark disappears and the monitor mode automatically becomes the head-up mode. When heading signals are restored, select the monitor mode with the [Select mode] key again. Note 2: User can pre-set appropriate monitor mode to use. (See chapter 2.10.2.) 1.7.2 Description of display modes Relative motion In relative motion, own ship position is stationary on the screen to observe relative motion of surrounding targets. • Head-up The head-up mode is a display in which the line connecting the own ship and the top of the display indicates own ship’s heading. Targets are displayed as if they were viewed from the bridge. Therefore, this mode is suitable for navigating through narrow channels and crowded waters. On the other hand, target images may fluctuate due to own ship’s turning and yawing. A short line on the bearing scale is the north marker indicating heading sensor north. • Cursor Gyro It is the same screen as Head-up but bearing scale links to heading signal. The cursor gyro can be used only when bearing sensor is connected to the radar. A failure of the bearing sensor will cause the bearing scale to become the same as that in the head-up mode. • Stern-up The stern-up mode rotates the head-up mode picture 180° showing ship’s stern on top of the display at all times. • Course-up The course-up mode is an azimuth-stabilized display in which a line connecting the center with the top of the display indicating own ship’s intended course (harbor, destination, etc.) Own ship’s heading moves in accordance with changes of its course indicating the initial bearing on the top at all times to see errors between the set course and the current course. Target images do not fluctuate at own ship’s turning and yawning to get stable images. Heading lineNoth maker
10Heading lineNorth makerAt the moment when the course-up mode is set.Heading line tums in accodance with changes of hedingHeading line • North-up The true north is at the top of the screen (0°) and the heading line changes its direction according to the ship’s course. In this mode, fixed targets are shown as if they were viewed on a chart. Targets on the screen do not fluctuate at own ship’s turning and yawning to get stable images. This mode is suitable for ocean voyages, ship positioning and course monitoring, etc. Heading lineNorth marker True Motion Like looking at charts, all fixed targets such as landmasses appear as stationary echoes and own ship moves on the screen. When own ship reaches a point corresponding to 75% of the radius of the display, own ship position is automatically reset to a point of 75% radius opposite to the extension of the heading line passing through the display center to continue moving on the screen. Own ship’s position can be automatically moved to 75% radius opposite to the course at any time while in the true motion. 000 010 020030040050060070080090100110120130140150160170180190200210220230240250260270280290300310320330340 350 000 010 020030040050060070080090100110120130140150160170180190200210220230240250260270280290300310320330340 350 000 010 020030040050060070080090100110120130140150160170180190200210220230240250260270280290300310320330340 350(a) True motion is selected(b) Own ship has reached a point 75% of display radius() Own ship is automatically reset to 75% of radius
111.8 Selecting range The selected range scale, range ring interval and pulse length are shown at the upper left corner of the screen. When a target of interest comes closer, reduce the range scale so that it appears in 50~90% of the display radius. Press the [Range] key several times to select range desired. Hit the “+” part of the key to raise the range and “-”part to lower the range. When range is switched, range ring interval and pulse length also change automatically. Range Fixed range ring intervalPulse length 3NM 12 NMSmall range Large rangeSame object appears in different sizes. 1.9 Adjusting Gain To properly display targets at all times, it is necessary to adjust gain in accordance with signal strength. Gain can be adjusted automatically or manually. 1. Press the [Gain] knob to select the method of gain adjustment. Each press of the [Gain] knob switches between [Auto] and [Manual]. -50500 2. For automatic adjustment, roll the [Gain] knob according to sea condition to fine tune the sensitivity. (Range: -50 ~ +50) For manual adjustment, roll the [Gain] knob to tune the sensitivity. (Range: 0 ~ 100) Note: For manual adjustment, adjust the gain control so that the background noise is just visible on the screen. If the gain level is too low, weak echoes may be missed. On the other hand, if the gain level is too high, the strong background noise may hide weak targets.
121.10 Rejecting Sea Clutter Strong sea clutter occurs around own ship in bad weather due to strong reflection from sea surface to prevent identification of targets on the screen. In such a case, use the sea clutter rejection function to control sea clutter. Sea clutter can be rejected automatically or manually. Sea clutter appears at the center of the screen.Sea clutter is rejected. Sea clutter rejection function 1. Press the [Sea clutter rejection] knob to select the method of sea clutter rejection. Each press of the [Sea clutter rejection] knob switches between [Auto] and [Manual]. The control sea clutter is automatically set at optimum level when the setting is [Auto]. -50500 2. For automatic rejection, roll the [Sea clutter rejection] button according to sea conditions to fine tune the setting. (Setting range: -50 ~ +50) To reduce sea clutter, increase the setting value toward [+] and to increase sea clutter toward [-]. 3. For manual rejection, roll the [Sea clutter rejection] knob while observing echoes on the screen to reject sea clutter. (Setting range: 0 ~ 100) Note: For manual adjustment, do not set the sea clutter rejection level too high. When the sea clutter rejection level is too high, it may miss approaching targets. Normally set the level just so weak sea clutter appears on the screen. Set the sea clutter rejection level at 0 (the minimum) when there is no sea clutter appearing on calm sea surface. 1.11 Rejecting Precipitation Clutter Radio waves transmitted from antenna are reflected on rain and snow to appear on the screen as precipitation clutter. The function of precipitation clutter rejection is used when unwanted echo covers up and hides targets. The precipitation clutter rejection is controlled in the similar way as the sea clutter rejection but it becomes effective not only in near range but in longer range as well. The higher the setting, the greater the anti-clutter effect becomes. Unwaned echoes are displayed. (Toward the starboard)Precipitation rejection control adjusted. Function of precipitation rejection 1. Press the [Precipitation clutter rejection] knob to select the function of precipitation clutter rejection. Each press of the [Precipitation clutter rejection] switches between [Precipitation clutter manual] and [Unwanted echo]
132. Roll the [Precipitation clutter rejection] knob while observing the screen to reject the precipitation clutter. (Setting range: 0 ~ 100) -50500 1.12 Automatic rejection of sea clutter and precipitation clutter When sea clutter and precipitation clutter cannot be removed fully, press the [Precipitation clutter rejection] knob to select the unwanted echo rejection function. “Unwanted echo” is displayed at the upper right section on the screen while the unwanted echo rejection function is working. Notes on usage • Echoes covering wide areas such as lands and islands may become smaller. • Clutter or strong precipitation clutter more than necessary. In such a case, use the functions of sea clutter rejection or precipitation clutter rejection to manually adjust the echo level at optimum. 1.13 Deleting heading line temporarily Heading line is displayed in all display modes and shows the own ship’s heading. Heading line appears directly above own ship (0°) in the head-up mode and the cursor gyro mode. Heading line appears directly under own ship (180°) in the stern-up mode. In the north-up, true motion and course-up modes, heading line moves in accordance with own ship’s direction. Thickness and color of heading lines can be changed in the [Mark] menu. (See page 2-31.) To confirm small targets in heading direction press the [Delete heading line] to temporarily delete the heading line. All the marks on the heading line and radar screen disappear and only targets are displayed while this key is being pressed

151.15 Measuring range to target There are three methods to measure range to target; fixed range ring, Cursor (See chapter 1.14.) and VRM (Variable Range Ring). 1.15.1 Using Fixed Range Ring Fixed range ring (Concentric circle with own ship at its center) is used to make a rough measurement. Fixed range ring interval is displayed at the upper left side on the screen. Range between own ship and a target is estimated from the nearing fixed range ring closest from the target by counting number of fixed range rings. Note 1: Number of fixed range ring is determined in accordance with range selected. However, the number can be selected manually. (See chapter 2.10.1.) Note 2: Each left-click switches between ON/OFF of fixed range ring while cursor is put on the fixed range ring interval (numerical value). 1.15.2 Using VRM (Variable Range Ring) There are two types of VRM; VRM1 and VRM2, which are shown by broken lines to distinguish from fixed range ring. The two types of VRM can be distinguished from each other by the length of the broken line also. VRM1 has shorter broken lines and VRM2 has longer broken lines. 1. Press the [VRM ON] key to display VRM. 2. Roll the [VRM] knob to put VRM on the inner side of target to which range you want to measure. Read range displayed at the lower right side on the screen. VRM value remains even when range is changed. 3. Press the [VRM OFF] key to delete VRM. The way it is deleted varies according to display condition of VRM. • When both VRM1 and VRM2 are displayed and either VRM1 or VRM2 is in operable condition, either VRM2 or VRM1 whichever is not in operable condition disappears. • When either VRM1 or VRM2 is displayed, the VRM of the displayed one disappears.
16Range to VRM1Range to VRM2Currently operable VRM(with arrow mark)VRM box Range by VRM Note: Unit of VRM can be changed in the [Edit image] menu. (See chapter 2.1.4.) 1.16 Measuring bearing of target Use the Electronic Bearing Lines (EBL) to take bearing of targets. There are two EBLs, No.1 and No.2. Each EBL is a straight broken line extending out from the own ship position to distinguish from heading line. The two EBLs can be distinguished from each other by the different length of their dashes; dashes of EBL1 are shorter than EBL2. 1.16.1 Measuring bearing using EBL (Electronic cursor) 1. Press the [EBL ON] key to display either of the EBLs. Each press switches the arrow in the box between EBL1 and EBL2. The EBL with the arrow mark can be operated with the [EBL] knob. 2. Roll the [EBL] knob to put the EBL on the center of the target of interest Read its bearing at the lower left corner on the screen. 3. condition of EBL. • When both EBL1 and EBL2 are displayed and either EBL1 or EBL2 is in operable condition, the one that is not in operable condition disappears.

Heading bearing signal is necessary to display in true bearing. 1. Roll the trackball to put the cursor on REL or TRUE in the EBL box at the lower left corner on the screen. 2. Left-click to select either REL or TRUE.
181.17 Measuring Range and Bearing between Two Targets Range and bearing between two targets can be measured by moving EBL origin. 1. Press the [EBL ON] key to display EBL1. 2. [Press the EBL offset] key. The EBL origin moves to the cursor position. 3. Roll the trackball to move the cursor on target A. 4. Roll the [EBL] knob to put EBL1 at the center of target B. 5. Press the [VRM ON] key to display VRM1. 6. Roll the [VRM] knob so that VRM1 touches target B. Range and bearing between the two targets are displayed at the lower section on the screen. Press the [EBL offset] key to return the EBL origin to the center of the screen. Bearing/Range between target A and B Bearing/Range between target C and D Similarly, range and bearing between target C and target D can be measured using EBL2 and VRM2. Note: User can select the method of fixing origin of EBL offset. (See page 2-31.) 1.18 Selecting Transmission Pulse Length Transmission pulse length is displayed at the upper left side on the screen. Pulse length can be changed according to situations except for far range. To emphasize far range detection, extend the pulse length and to emphasize resolution, shorten the pulse length. Shortening pulse length can also reject precipitation clutter. 1. Roll the trackball to put the cursor on the pulse length box at the upper left side on the screen. Pulse length box 2. Left-click to shorten the pulse length and right-click to lengthen the pulse length. Each click switches between available pulse lengths in the current range scale.
191.19 Off-Centering the Display Own ship position, or sweep origin, can be displaced to expand the view field without switching to a larger range scale. The sweep origin can be off-centered to the cursor position, but not more than 75% of the range in use. In the true dynamic mode, the sweep origin can be off-centered to the cursor position within 50% of the range in use. Note: This function can be used for ranges other than 96NM and 120NM ranges. 1. Roll the trackball to move the cursor to a position where you wish to center the image. 2. Press the [OFF CENTER] key. Own ship position moves to the cursor position. 3. Press the [OFF CENTER] key again to return the own ship position to the previous position. 1.20 Rejecting Interference Mutual radar interference may occur in the vicinity of another ship borne radar operating in the same frequency band. (X band: 9GHz) It is seen on the screen as a number of bright spikes either in irregular pattern or in the form of dotted lines extending from the center of the edge of the picture. This type of interference can be rejected by the interference rejecting function. 1. Roll the trackball to put the cursor on the box next to the [Interference] at the upper left side on the screen. 2. Left-click to select the strength of interference rejection. Each click switches between OFF →1→2→3. The larger the value, the stronger the interference rejection, however, it may weaken ship’s echo. Note: Set the level of interference rejection function at OFF when there is no interference from other ships to avoid missing small targets near own ship. 1.21 Echo Stretch The echo stretch feature enlarges targets in the range and bearing directions to make them easier to see. There are three levels of echo stretch, 1, 2 and 3. We recommend the level 3 for normal use. Note: The echo stretch magnifies not only small target pips but also clutter from sea surface, precipitation and radar interference. For this reason, make sure these types of interference have been sufficiently reduced before activating the echo stretch function. 1. Roll the trackball to put the cursor on the box next to [Stretch] at the upper left side on the screen. Interference by other ships radar
20 2. Left-click to select the desired setting. Each click switches between OFF→1→2→3. Set the echo stretch level while observing the screen. • OFF: no stretch • 1: Smooth eco • 2: Stretches 1.2 ~ 1.5 times in the bearing direction • 3: Stretches in range and bearing directions. 1.22 Signal Processing Function Rejecting sea clutter may also reject necessary targets. In such a case, the signal processing function can suppress sea clutter while maintaining targets. Note 1: Heading bearing signal and own ship positioning data are necessary for the signal processing function Note 2: Do not use the signal processing function in rough conditions of pitching and rolling of own ship to avoid loss of target. Note 3: Targets moving at high speed become difficult to detect compared of static targets when using the signal processing function. Prior to using the signal processing function, use the sea clutter rejection function just so some weak sea clutter appears on the screen. 1. Roll the trackball to put the cursor next to [Processing] at the upper left side on the screen. 2. Left-click to select the desired setting. Each click switches the setting between OFF→1→2→3→4→5. Set a value while observing the echoes. • Off: Set the signal processing function OFF. • 1,2: Effective for target detection in sea clutter. The signal processing 2 is more effective compared with the signal processing 1 for target detection in strong sea clutter. However, detecting targets moving at high speed on the screen is more difficult for the signal processing 2 compared with the signal processing 1. Use either the signal processing 1 or 2 in accordance with user’s purpose. When detecting targets in sea clutter and targets moving at high speed simultaneously, it becomes effective to use the signal processing function together with the wiper processing (See page 2-20.) 3. Detect weak targets, such as floats, in stormy weather. 4. Detect weak targets, such as floats, in stormy weather. To use this setting, set the equipment as follows: • Set the interference rejector to 3. This raises the sensitivity against weak targets. • Manually set the gain to 80. • Manually set the A/C SEA to 50. • Manually set the A/C RAIN to 40. This is effective for reducing unwanted clutter and suppressing false echoes. 5. Effective for detecting high speed targets and unstable echoes.
211.23 Echo Trail Function Echo trail function is useful to observe other ships’ movement, which displays a track in lower brilliance than the actual image 1.23.1 Starting Echo Trail Set trail time to start the echo trail. Trail time can be selected from 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 45 seconds 1-20 minutes (1 min. interval), 30 minutes, 40 minutes, 50 minutes, 60 minutes, 20 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours and continuous. Trail is displayed for the set trail time. 1. Press the [Echo Trail] key several times to select the desired trail time. The trail time currently selected is displayed in the trail box at the lower right side on the screen. The longer the trail time, the longer the trail becomes. Trail box Trail timeElapsed time Elapsed time from the start of the trail to the set trail time is shown on the trail box. For example, if the trail time setting is 6 min., the elapsed time is displayed until 6 minutes is elapsed but no elapsed time is displayed beyond 6 minutes. 2. Put the cursor on [On] in the trail box and left-click to temporarily erase the trail from the screen. The display in the box changes to [Off]. The trail display disappears from the screen but it continues trail inside the machine. Note 1: Color, gradation and level can be changed in the [Trail] menu. (See chapter 2.10.5) Note 2: Long press the [Echo trail] key to delete all the trails in the machine to start over the trail. You can also put the cursor on the [Trail] (or [On], Trail time) in the trail box and long press the left button. 1.23.2 Selecting Trail Mode There are relative trail and true trail modes for echo trails. Relative trail: Relative trails show other ships’ movement with reference to own ship. Relative trail is useful to see relative movements such as avoiding a collision because own ship’s movements and other ships’ movements are combined. On the other hand, it also shows trails of fixed targets to make it difficult to see depending on locations. True trail: True trails show other ships’ true movements in accordance with their over-the-speed over grounds and courses regardless with own ship’s movement. Therefore, trails of stationary targets are not drawn. Heading bearing signal and GPS navigation equipment need to be connected.
22True target trailsRelative targets trails Relative trail and True trail 1. Roll the trackball to put the cursor on REL, TRUE or TRUEs in the trail box at the lower right section on the screen. 2. Left-click to select trail mode. Speed over ground: Each click switches between REL (relative trail) and TRUE (Speed over ground true trail) Speed over water: Each click switches between REL (relative trail) and TRUEs (Speed over water true trail) Note: When setting of trail mode is changed, TRUE, TRUEs or REL also change in the trail interval box in the information display area. 1.24 Watch Alarm The watch alarm sounds the audio alarm and displays the alarm message when targets (other ships, island, reef, etc.) enter the set zone (Enter mode) or exit the set zone (Exit mode). (The [Watch Alarm] is ON in the ALARM menu.) User can set two alarm zones. The default setting of [Watch Alarm] is the Enter mode. Chapter 2.11.2 explains switching between the modes. WarningWatch alarm function helps prevention of collisions and use of the function does not exempt users from operational safety obiigagtions stipulated in the prevention of sea cliiision notices.When adjustments are inadequate for gain, sea clutter rejection and percipitation clutter rejection, alarm function may be lost against actual target and talse alarm may sound due to sea clutter and rain etc.

663. TARGET TRACKING (TT) 3.1 Usage Precautions Purpose of this function is to aid route monitoring for navigational safety. It is not a substitute of basic navigational principles and common sense of navigators. Excessive reliance on the monitoring of the equipment or erroneous handling of the equipment could adversely cause a dangerous result. Please note the following very carefully. Depending on radar setting, it may fail to acquire necessary targets or track unnecessary echoes such as sea clutter. In some cases, radar settings may be unsuitable to the functions. Adjust each radar function properly to suite each situation. Normal acquisition and tracking may become difficult in situations such as strong and wide sea clutter or precipitation, targets in low clouds and many noise interferences. Make adjustments accordingly to reject excessive sea clutter and precipitation clutter. Please note also that necessary targets could disappear when gain setting is too low or sea clutter rejection setting is too high. Tracking errors The plotting accuracy and response of this TT meets IMO standards. Tracking accuracy is affected by the following. Own ship’s slow course change does not affect the tracking accuracy, however, fast course change may affect all the tracking targets and may take one to two minutes to restore vectors to full accuracy. (The actual amount depends on gyrocompass specifications.) The amount of tracking delay is 15~30 seconds to display the course of TT target when other ships’ relative speed is fast and 30~60 seconds of delay when other ships’ relative speed is slow (close to zero). Accuracy may drop a little during a course change but will restore in short time. Display accuracy The following items may affect display accuracy. 1) Echo intensity 2) Radar transmission pulse length 3) Radar bearing error 4) Gyrocompass error 5) Course change of own ship and other ship (response error)
673.2 Turning TT ON/OFF Follow the steps below to turn TT display ON/OFF. 1. Put the cursor on TT box in the information display area. DISP OFFTT box 2. Left-click to select [Auto/Manual]* or [OFF]. *: Either [Manual] or [Auto] is displayed depending on [TT target] menu setting. Auto, Manual, Auto/Manual: Display TT target on the screen. OFF: Delete TT target from the screen. 3.3 Ship Speed Input The TT requires own ship’s speed and heading data. The speed can be speed over ground, speed over water, or echo-referenced speed (based on 3 max. stationary objects). Echo-referenced ship speed is explained here. The use of echo-referenced speed is recommended when: • The speed log is not operating properly or not connected to the radar. • The vessel has no device (Doppler sonar, speed log, etc.) • No position sensor input If you select echo-referenced speed, the TT calculates own ship’s speed relative to a fixed reference target. This method is effective when error is large due to ship’s port-starboard movement. The number of targets may be numbered R1, R2 or R3. 1. Select [Speed over ground] for [Ship speed] in the [Ship speed] menu. (See chapter 2.10.8.) 2. Select [Echo-referenced speed] for [Speed over ground] in the [Ship speed] menu. [Echo-referenced speed] is displayed in the ship speed section in the information display area. 3. Move the cursor to a stationary object such as a small island or a light house within 0.1~24 (or 32) NM range from own ship. 4. Right-click to display the [Cursor] menu. 5. Select [Stationary target] then left-click. A fixed point mark is entered at the cursor position. Ship speed is displayed after about one minute. Immediately after after 3 min Fixed point mark 6. Repeat steps 3~5 to mark the maximum of three stationary objects. Note1: The fixed point mark disappears when echo disappears during acquisition and tracking stationary target. The flashing indication [Stationary target lost] is displayed in the alarm box in the information display area. Note 2: Put the cursor on the fixed point mark then press the [Delete target] key to delete the fixed point mark. Note 3: You can display a vector on a stationary object by selecting [On] at [Fixed target vector] in the [TT target] menu.
68Notes on input of speed with a fixed target • Select a stationary target as a reference target to calculate own ship speed as ground tracking speed. Do not choose a moving target as a reference target. A moving target produces in error in the vector for TT and AIS, which results in wrong collision avoidance information. Further, an unstable stationary target produces inaccurate speed data and the target itself may become lost. • When all stationary targets are lost, the ship speed values becomes [---] in the information display area. Reselect other stationary targets. • When acquisition of all targets is interrupted, acquisition of stationary targets is also interrupted and calculation of echo-reference speed becomes impossible. Stop echo-referenced display Select [GPS] or [Log (over ground)] for [Speed over ground] in the [Ship speed] menu. 3.4 Target Acquisition and Tracking This equipment can acquire and track targets using the TT function either automatically or manually. 3.4.1 Number of automatic acquisition and manual acquisition This equipment can acquire the maximum number of 100 targets.

693.4.2 Automatic Acquisition When automatic acquisition area (guard zone) is set, the TT function automatically acquires and track targets entering into the guard zone. The maximum of two guard zones can be set. Sector shaped guard zone has a width of 0.5NM~1.0NM in the radial direction and is adjustable from 3.0 to 6.0NM. Polygon shaped guard zone is adjustable from 0.125~120NM. Area of automatic acquisition is from 0.1~24 (or 32) NM. The maximum tracking area varies depending on the setting of initialization wizard. (See the installation manual.) Setting a guard zone Follow the steps below to set a guard zone. Heading signal is required to activate the guard zone. 1.

843.13 Setting Collision Alarm (CPA/TCPA alarm) Thresholds of CPA (the Closest Point of Approach of other ship to own ship) and TCPA (predicted time to CPA) can be preset to avoid a collision with other ship. (Settings are common with AIS targets. See chapter 4.10.) When both CPA and TCPA of a tracking target become smaller than the preset CPA and TCPA thresholds, the target becomes a dangerous target (red flashing) and audio alarm sounds. This function is useful to avoid the risk of collision with the target. It is very important, however, to set gain, sea clutter rejection and precipitation clutter rejection correctly. Note 1: The collision alarm is a support function for detecting the risk of collision. The navigator is responsible to keep visual lookout for avoiding collisions at all times. Note 2: Consider size of own ship, tonnage, ship speed and turning capacity when setting the collision alarm. Note 3: Select the position reference to calculate CPA/TCPA from antenna or steering position. (See chapter 1.29.) Setting collision alarm 4.

Enter a test course, ship speed and delay time before starting the test steering to display the simulation result to predict the position relationship with other ship. This function is useful to avoid the risk of collision by setting CPA and TCPA in the steering simulation. Repeat entering various test courses, ship speeds and delay time until no dangers exist. Acquisition and tracking of targets continue during the steering simulation. Use relative motion and speed over water vector to display more accurate results. It is necessary to set up characteristics of own ship correctly such as acceleration, turning capacity in order to perform more accurate simulation. 3.15.1 Types of steering simulation There are the two types of mode, dynamic mode and static mode in steering simulation. Dynamic mode Dynamic mode continuously displays motions of tracking target and own ship. Predicted positions of own ship and each target are displayed every 30 second in the steering simulation. Preset own ship speed, course and delay time. Display is updated every one second. Delay time means the time between the current time to the time when own ship changes its course and speed. The illustration shows the own ship that is set to change its course and speed after 2 min. 30 sec. (OS5 position). OS6 and OS7 indicate positions where course and speed are being changed. OS8 indicates a position after the change of course and speed took place.

The steering simulation calculates the elapsed time (initial testing time) until own ship reaches the set course and speed and shows the own ship at that position. Each target is displayed at the position when the simulation time elapses. You can increase or decrease the simulation time to see the results at arbitrary time settings. Static mode is useful to immediately know the result of the steering simulation.

Put the cursor on [Steering simulation] for dynamic mode then left-click. The simulation time box appears similar to the box in the static mode. Steering simulation is different depending on the mode shown as below. Dynamic mode Estimated positions of own ship and each target are updated and displayed every 30 seconds. Simulation time increases every 30 seconds. Static mode Positions of your ship and tracked targets are displayed when own ship reaches the set course and speed. The elapsed time to reach that position is indicated as the initial simulation time. After that, put the cursor on the simulation time box and roll the wheel to change the simulation time. Shorten the simulation time to display the result at the earlier position and lengthen the simulation time to display the result at the later position. Remove the cursor from the simulation time box to return the positions of own ship and each target to the positions of the initial simulation time. When the result of the steering simulation is unsatisfactory, repeat the simulation by changing the simulation ship speed, course and delay time until you can obtain a satisfactory result.
89The letter “T” appears at the lower section on the screen during the trial maneuver. If any tracked target is predicted to be on a collision course with own ship (that is, the target ship comes within preset CPA/TCPA limits), the target plotting symbol flashes in red. If this happens, change own ship’s trial speed, course or delay time to obtain a safe maneuver. 3.15.3 Terminating steering simulation Steering simulation is automatically terminated at the end of the fixed time and the normal radar display is restored. The time of termination depends on the trial mode. • Dynamic mode: Simulation is terminated automatically when 60 minutes is shown in the immolation time box. • Static mode: Simulation is terminated automatically when there is no key operation for one min.
