2-3-3 BRIEF EXPLANATION OF ICON’S FUNCTION
Brief explanation of each icon.
GAIN (gain control) adjustment:
Set up the sensitivity of Radar echo..
SEA (sea-clutter rejection) adjustment:
Control the sea clutter level near the ship.
Long distant echo gain is remaining as it is, and gain is lowered as to short distance.
Adjust the target ship is clearly observe and reject the sea clutter on screen as much as
possible.
RAIN (rain-and-snow-clutter rejection) adjustment:
This type radar uses (X) band microwave (wavelength: 3cm).
This microwave can detectable more far range in fine weather, but in rain or snow weather, the
detectable range decrease remarkably.
The control is adjusted for separate the target and rain or snow as long as possible.
BRILL (brightness) adjustment: Set up the brightness of a screen.
It sets up brightly daytime and sets up not dazzle at night
MOB (Man Over the Boat): When the crew fall into over the boat by accident.
Carry out a tap MOB icon immediately.
The radar memorizes the place latitude and longitude information, and continues displaying
the (MOB)place on a screen.
When going to rescue, navigator can take course to the(MOB)point on screen.
(Important: GPS signal must be connected in this function.)
TT DATA (target tracking)
Data which is tracking automatically is displayed.
Data is display the direction, the distance, the speed.
This function must be required the heading signal and log signal.
Measures reading of a direction can select from north(N-UP) and measure from self-ship
(H-UP).
The speed display can select the relative speed mode or absolute speed mode.

AIS DATA (when received the AIS signal, the data of MMSI of the vessel which has
transmitted, latitude, longitude, a direction of movement, speed, rate of turn, etc. is displayed.)
(AIS receiver signal is necessary.)
EBL (electronic bearing line)
Measure the target direction by using cursor line.
VRM (variable range marker)
Measure the target distance by using circle line.
Off-center (Normally own position is the center of screen, but it is possible to move own
position from fixed center of screen).
Tap the icon will shift the own position. Shifting point are fixed 5 positions only.
TX (transmission), ST-BY (standby)
Whenever it carries out a tap, transmission and ST-BY are changed.
RANGE (range scale)
The range scale to observe is changed. The maximum range is limited by the scanner type
which is connected.

FOR REFERENCE

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
＊＊＊＊
Observing the Radar screen, GANI and SEA control adjustment is essential adjustment.
RAIN: Normally set “0”, when light rain or snow, turn proportion to reject rain noise on screen.
GAIN: Set the GAIN adjustment for long range (more than 6nm) target can observe clear.
Under this conditions, short range near own ship, cannot observe small target because
of high clutter and high gain.
To avoid this failure, use SEA control, and suppress near range clutter noise.
If suitable adjustment is done, costumer can observe clear target from short range to
long range.
ACTUAL OPERATION
Set RAIN Minimum position
① Set 6nm RANGE, and observe more farther special target.
Set GAIN control so as to the special target is observe clearly.
Change to 0.5nm RANGE
Set SEA control so as to the near target can observe clearly.
② Basically, RAIN control is minimum state, but according to the weather conditions,
to reject rain or snow clutter, little bit turn to effective point.
