tute for accurate and current nautical charts.
DANGER! HIGH VOLTAGE
RADIATION HAZARD
Radiation emitted from the scanner unit can be harmful, particularly to the eyes. To avoid harm-
ful radiation, ensure the radar power is in the OFF position before beginning work on the scan-
ner unit.
• NEVER OPEN THE UNIT
This product contains high voltage that could be FATAL. This product has no user-service-
able parts inside. All repairs and adjustments MUST be made by a qualified electronics tech-
nician at your Marine Navigation Dealer.
• HIGH VOLTAGE
High voltages of up to 3,500 volts are used in this equipment. Although prudent measures for
safety have been adopted, sufficient care must be taken in the operation, maintenance and
adjustment of the equipment.
Electric shock of 1,000 volts or more may cause electrocution and death; even an electric
shock of only 100 volts may be fatal.
• PREVENTION OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

of the same target as described as above.
rThe VRM2 readout is a measure of target move-
ment which can be converted into relative target
speed.
•For example, when a 6 min. trail time is selected, multi-
plying the distance by ten gives the relative average
speed of the target.
•If your ship is stationary during the plotting time, the
converted speed and direction become absolute.
•The converted speed unit is knots or kilometers/hour
when the selected unit in the FUNCTION menu is nauti-
cal miles (NM) or kilometers (KM), respectively.
tThe EBL2 readout shows the course direction of the
target.

■ATA (Automatic Tracking Aid)
By tracking automatically the target chosen by the cursor key, the closest point of approach (CPA) and the time to
closest point of approach (TCPA) limit of a own ship and a target are calculated.
ATA is the function to tell about to alarm sound, when both CPA and TCPA becomes below a setting value (the ap-
proach watch area).
The range of the target which can be registered is taken as a target with a highest luminosity level of 0.2–16 miles.
•Max. 10 targets can be plotted on the screen.
•Plot positions shall be identified by an approved symbol mark (p. 20) and associated plot number.
•The vector origin will move across the screen at a rate and direction defined by the calculated true or relative

■Indirect echoes
Indirect echoes may be returned from either a passing
ship, or returned from a reflecting surface, such as a
mast on your own ship.
An indirect echo from a reflecting surface will appear
on a different bearing from the direct (true) echo, but
the distance will be approximately the same for both.

■Side-lobe echoes
Radiation can escape on each side of the beam inside
the lobes. If a target reflects this radiation, it will be dis-
played on the screen as an echo.
Side-lobe echoes usually occur at short ranges and as
a result of large (strongly reflective) targets. They can
be reduced with proper adjustment of the [SEA] con-
trol.
See p. 10 for the [SEA] control.
False

True

Side lobes
Radar uses a form of electromagnetic radiation, which like light, can be reflected. Because of this property, some
objects may cause false echoes on the screen where in fact no targets actually exist.
These echoes may appear if a large vessel, bridge, or tank is in proximity. Operators should be familiar with the ef-
fects of these phenomena. In some cases, echoes can be reduced.

■Multiple echoes
Multiple echoes may appear when a short-range and
strong echo is received from a ship, bridge, or break-
water.
Multiple echoes will appear beyond the target’s true
echo point on the same bearing of a large target. They
can be reduced with proper adjustment of the [SEA]
control.
See p. 10 for the [SEA] control.
True echo
False echoes

■Minimum range
Detection at short range is very important. Minimum
range is determined primarily by transmitter pulse
length, vertical beam width and height of the scanner
unit. The shorter the transmission time, the quicker the
return echoes can be received and their distance mea-
sured.
The ability to see targets very close to the ship is de-
creased if the scanner is mounted too high off the
water, because the bottom of the vertical beam of the
scanner cuts off nearby targets.
This target can not be recognized with radar.
The target in this area can not be recognized.

■Blind and Shadow sectors
Blind or Shadow sectors may exist because of ob-
structions such as masts, derricks or stacks. An ob-
struction may throw either a complete or partial
shadow as shown in the diagram below. If a target is in
a shadow sector, target echoes may not appear on the
screen.
When tall and massive targets such as a large island
are located at close range also shadowed without pro-
ducing any echoes. This phenomenon is called blind
sector. It is very important to know the bearings and
widths of all shadow sectors caused by your own
ship’s obstructions.

■Target resolution
Target resolution is determined by the horizontal beam
width and transmit pulse width. Sometimes it is difficult
to detect two targets which are separated by short dis-
tances or which are in the same direction.
DDistance resolution
When two targets are separated by more than the
pulse width, they appear as two echoes.
When two targets are not separated by more than
the pulse width, they appear as 1 echo.
DDirection resolution
When two targets are separated by more than the
horizontal beam width, they appear as two echoes.
When two targets are not separated by more than
the horizontal beam width, they appear as one echo.

■Connecting the units
NMEA1 connection NMEA2 connection
■Power source requirement
DDC power source
The radar is designed for connection to any power
source if the voltage is 10.2–42 V DC, so that a 12, 24,
or 32 V DC battery can be used without a DC-DC con-
verter, or any internal modifications.
• DC power cable connection
Connect the supplied DC power cable as shown in the
diagram.
■Ground connection
To prevent electrical shocks and other problems, ground the display unit through the [GND] terminal on the unit’s
rear panel. For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap to the nearest grounding point on the boat. The
distance between the [GND] terminal and the ground point should be as short as possible.
CAUTION:Incorrect cable connection may dam-
age the radar.

Continued, reliable operation of the radar depends on how you care for your equipment. The simple maintenance
tips that follow can help you save time and money, and avoid premature equipment failures.
■Periodic maintenance
qKeep the equipment as clean as possible.
•Use a soft cloth to remove dirt, dust and water.
wCheck all hardware for loose screws, bolts, etc.
eCheck cables and terminal connections.
■Scanner unit maintenance
DCleaning
qWipe the surface of the scanner with a clean soft
cloth.
•DO NOT use strong solvents such as benzene or alco-
hol.
wCheck that there is no drift or caked salt.
•A heavy deposit of dirt or caked salt on the painted sur-
face of the upper scanner unit will cause a considerable
drop in radar performance.
eCheck for cracks or deterioration of the rubber
packing and replace it if necessary.
DPainting (MR-1000TII only)
To prevent the corrosion, paint the surface of the
scanner body (except the antenna unit) twice a year
or more.
DMounting
Check the mounting bolts of the scanner unit and
tighten if necessary.
■Display unit maintenance
DCleaning
Dirt on the CRT will, in time, leave a film of contami-
nates which tend to dim the picture.
qWipe the surface of the display unit with a clean soft
cloth.
•DO NOT use strong solvents such as benzene or alco-
hol.
wIf the picture is still dim, clean the CRT screen.
■Options
•OPC-1077 SYSTEM CABLE
Allows you to install the display unit and scanner up to 20 m (655⁄8ft) apart.
•OPC-1078 SYSTEM CABLE

RADAR OPERATOR WARNING
Icom requires the radar operator to meet
the FCC Requirements for Radio Fre-
quency Exposure. A slotted waveguide
array antenna with gain not greater than
27 dBi must be mounted a minimum of 5.5
meters (measured from the lowest point of the
antenna) vertically above the main deck and all possi-
ble personnel. This is the minimum safe separation
distance estimated to meet all RF exposure compli-
ance requirements. This 5.5 meter distance is based
on the FCC Safe Maximum Permissible Exposure
(MPE) distance of 3.5 meters added to the height of an
adult (2 meters) and is appropriate for all vessels.
For watercraft without suitable structures, the antenna
must be mounted so as to maintain a minimum of 1
meter vertically between the antenna, (measured from
the lowest point of the antenna), to the heads of all per-
sons AND all persons must stay outside of the 3 5
meter MPE radius.
Do not transmit with radar and antenna when persons
are within the MPE radius of the antenna, unless such
persons (such as driver or radar operator) are shielded
from antenna field by a grounded metallic barrier. The
MPE Radius is the minimum distance from the an-
tenna axis that person should maintain in order to
avoid RF exposure higher than the allowable MPE
level set by FCC.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE LIMITS MAY
ALLOW THOSE WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS TO EX-
PERIENCE RF RADIATION ABSORPTION WHICH
EXCEEDS THE FCC MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EX-
POSURE (MPE) LIMIT.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RADAR OP-
ERATOR TO ENSURE THAT THE MAXIMUM PER-
MISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE OBSERVED AT
ALL TIMES DURING RADAR TRANSMISSION. THE
RADAR OPERATOR IS TO ENSURE THAT NO BY-
STANDERS COME WITHIN THE RADIUS OF THE
MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Determining MPE Radius
THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE)
RADIUS HAS BEEN ESTIMATED TO BE A RADIUS
OF ABOUT 3.5 M PER OET BULLETIN 65 OF THE
FCC.
THIS ESTIMATE IS MADE ASSUMING THE MAXI-
MUM POWER OF THE RADAR AND ANTENNAS
WITH A MAXIMUM GAIN OF 27 dBi ARE USED FOR
A SHIP MOUNTED SYSTEM.
