  Chapter 4    MEASURE THE SURROUND SHIP 62                                    ****************FOR REFERENCE****************  ABOUT THE DATA READ OUT WHEN MEASURE USING EBL /VRM  The RADAR can measure Target position as BEARING(degree°°°°) and RANGE(nm). BEARING is two way to measure. ①①①①One is the RELATIV BEARING which is measured from Own ship heading line. ②②②②Another is ABSOLUTE BEARING which is measured from the NORTH line Of cause, ABSOLUTE BEARING is calculated by (RELATIV BEARING+GYRO BEARING). So, ABSOLUTE BEARING is necessary the signal from GYRO or GPS compass. ☆☆☆☆In case of no external bearing signal, display only RELATIV BEARING mode. ☆☆☆☆(TT)Target Tracking function and display AIS symbol is necessary the GYRO   or GPS compass signal. When GYRO or GPS compass signal are received, normally Azimuth is measured   based on from the NORTH(ABSOLUTE AZIMUTH).  This Radar’s scanner microwave BEAM WIDTH is about 5degrees. So every target echo has more than 5degrees width for bearing direction. For above reason, In case of read out the target azimuth, set EBL line to the center of the target echo.  Target echo RANGE is measured by the distance from Own ship for any azimuth. Target echo size is proportion to pulse length which own ship was transmit. In case of MEASURE SHORT RANGE ECHO using VRM, set ring to the echo’s nearest point from Own ship. At that point is the correct RANGE for any pulse length.
  Chapter 5    USEFUL FUNCTIONS 63 Chapter 5    USEFUL FUNCTIONS 5-1 MOB (MAN OVER THE BOAT)  GPS signal and heading data (GYRO or GPS compass signal) are necessary.

Alarm area can set in-alarm, or out-alarm both. In alarm: Target echo is inside guard zone, generate the alarm sound. Out alarm: Target echo go to outside of guard zone, generate the alarm sound. Watching area is setting start point to end point of circle area.     Select alarm condition in-alarm or out-alarm.  ****************FOR REFERENCE****************  Guard zone is move accordance with own ship’s movement. For example, set front side of the own ship, start keep watching, and if ship is crossing the setting area, automatically generate the alarm.  On the other hand, watch keeping sip is set inside the guard zone, if ship were go outside the guard zone, automatically generate the alarm.  Crew can realize which ship was moved. So, it is effective to use as watch keeping the fishing net or buoy.

  Chapter 7   INITIAL SETTING 80  7-3 TUNING ADJUSTMENT Tuning is necessary in order to keep high performance. This function is adjustment of the Receiver to Magnetron frequency, and to get maximum radar sensitivity. Procedure (1) Set TX(radar transmission).   Select more longer range which can observe target.   For example, 12NM or 24NM. Adjust GAIN, RAIN, and SEA so as to observe more long range target.                                       Return to Menu Return to Main screen. Turn Rotary knob or flick green belt or tap + - ,checking radar
  Chapter 7    INITIAL SETTING 81  7-4 BEARING ADJUSTMENT Adjust so that the heading marker (SHM) may align with the actual direction of a bow. (Offset correction at the time of scanner installation) Adjust the radar echo angle to the target angle which can observe by eye from bow. Target viewing angle is view angle from scanner position, not display position. So decrease error, select the more father target as long as possible.  This is the way of using EBL. Procedure (1) Set radar TX. (2) Adjust GAIN, RAIN, and SEA and find a known target on the screen. In the case of the following figure, the target at the upper right of screen is a known target, and the direction from the bow(SHM). In the case of the target which is 54 degrees as measured by viewing angle. Set up EBL to 54 degrees and hold.  .                 Next item must to do.    Turn the target echo until coincidence with EBL. At that point is the off set point of Bearing Adjustment. Press Rotary knob and fix data.

Downside of screen is displayed the offset data (green belt line level). Flick of green belt or tap of + - can change the offset position. Adjust the echo on the EBL.
  Chapter 7    INITIAL SETTING 83  7-5 RANGE ADJUSTMENT Read out the target range is used by VRM. This set up is coincident the target RANGE with VRM readout data. Select the target which is already known by map or another way. The target height is the same as radar scanner is better condition. The target echo‘s collect range is edge of radar side.(near centering on screen).  A distance unit is usually using “ NM”. (1nm= 1852m).  As an example      Target which is distance of 300 m from own -ship, 300m x(1/1852m) =0.16198NM . Procedure (1) Set the radar transmit. (2) Adjust GAIN, RAIN, and SEA and find a known target from screen. The smaller target is easy to adjust range. The nearest point of the target must be set as an actual distance. Since the target length of radius direction proportion to the pulse length, set target’s front side by VRM.       Reading of VRM is set as an actual distance.
  Chapter 7   INITIAL SETTING 84   (3) Adjust the RANGE.              (4) Range adjust will be possible to adjust. Down side of screen green bar’s flick or + - tap can change the echo range.  Move the echo’s front end come onto the VRM line. At this point shows the collect offset range. Click the Rotary knob and finish the range initialize adjustment.                           The target which actual range of 300m(0.162nm) is measured by VRM as 0.162nm. This offset data is memorized in nonvolatile memory. For the first time setting is necessary.
  Chapter 7    INITIAL SETTING 85  7-6 ANTENNA HEIGHT SET UP Set up the antenna height. This set up is related to sea clutter rejection control, In near the range, Sea clutter level is proportion to the height of antenna position. So optimum sea clutter rejection constant is selected according the height of antenna  Procedure (1) Turn a Rotary knob and tap the ribbon. (2) If an icon menu comes out, tap tool icon.  Select  Basic Adjustment      Antenna Height . At selection menu, tap actual antenna height data. Selected portion is reversed highlight.
