3.3.10 In case of high waves
CAUTION
On short range scales, the setting of the sea surface clutter suppression should
not be advanced to an extent that results in complete suppression of all clutter.
Such a setting may suppress echoes from targets such as vessels or hazardous
objects in addition to echoes from the waves and thus impair detection.
When using the sea surface clutter suppression function, be sure that the suppression level is set at the optimum.
When sea waves become high, echoes from the high waves (sea clutter) appear on the
PPI screen making it difficult to see image of echoes from vessels or other objects. Sea
clutter is increasingly prominent to the extent that its source is close to the ship.
By using the [SEA] control function or the "automatic sea surface" function, sea surface
clutter may be suppressed facilitating monitoring of the targets.
Manual sea surface clutter suppression
(a) Turn the [SEA] control in the clockwise direction.
As the control is turned in the clockwise direction, suppression of sea surface
clutter increases.
Automatic sea surface clutter suppression
(a) Push the soft key

2. Changing the transmission pulse width
With respect to ranges of 1.5 NM, 3 NM and 6 NM, the transmission pulse width may
be changed.
If a wider pulse width is selected, the echo images on the PPI screen will be extended in
the range direction. Conversely, when a narrower pulse width is selected, the image is
compressed (made shorter) in the range direction.
The difference of this function from the image expansion function is that when the
pulse width becomes wider, echoes that had not been visible are sometimes visible as
images.
Attention
When switching to a wide pulse width, two targets that are in proximity in the range
direction (depth) may be shown as one echo on the PPI screen.
(a) Select "1.5NM", "3NM", or "6NM" in the line "TX PULSE" - the menu
"RADAR SET-UP 1".

4 How to Interpret the PPI Screen
4.1
Height of and the Distance to the Target
The maximum distance to a target that can be observed with a radar depends not only on
the power of the radar's transmitter, beam width of the scanner unit, and the receiver's
sensitivity but also on height of a target, distance to a target and height of scanner unit line
etc.
This is because the radio wave emitted by a radar runs straight, undergoing no
influence by the curvature of the earth surface.
a1=2.23√h1
a2=2.23√h2
a1 + a2=2.23 (√h1 + √h2 )
a1, a2:Unit [Nautical miles]
h1, h2:Unit [Meters]
[Distance and Target]
For example, when the scanner unit lies 3 meters above the sea level, the radar can
detect and display an island with a height of 10 meters at a distance 10 NM away from
the scanner unit position but cannot detect and display an island with a height of 5
meters at the same distance.
This is theoretically true but does not always hold,
depending on weather conditions.
For a target located 10 NM away to be displayed on a radar, it theoretically needs to be
7.6 meters or higher. Any targets lower than 7.6 meters cannot be displayed on a radar.
The target may be unable to be observed when the height of a scanner unit or an target is low.

4.2
Returns from a Target
The intensity of returns from a target is related not only to the size of the target but
also to the materials and shape of the components making up the target. Accordingly,
larger objects do not necessarily develop strong returns.
On coastlines, in particular, the intensity of returns is dependent on their
physiographic features.
For a coastline with a fairly gradual ascent, only inland
mountains areas may be displayed as echoes. This fact needs to be kept in mind when
measuring the distance to a coastline.
Since the echo which returns from a coastline with a fairly gradual ascent is weak,
observation of such land may not be able to be performed.
4.3
Propagation Path of Radio Waves
Radio waves may be shielded if there is a large intercepting obstacle (e.g.,
mountains, rain, snow, etc.) in their propagation path and any targets behind the
obstacle cannot be observed.

rain in between the own ship and the island
208
4.3.1 Sea returns
On a wavy sea surface, an echo appears on the PPI screen as a bright defused image at the
center of the screen.
This echo is developed by returns from the sea surface.
The features of
the echo depend on the size and range of the wave, and the wind direction.
4.3.2 False echoes
There are cases in which nonexistent targets appear as echoes or in which existing targets
do not appear as echoes on the PPI screen. These echoes are called false echoes.
False echoes are produced by the factors explained below.
Please observe carefully in consideration of there being always false echoes.
(a) Ghost
Depending on the location where the scanner unit is installed, radio waves are emitted from nearby
chimney stacks or masts, developing ghosts. Consequently, targets that are located in those direction
may not appear as echoes on the PPI screen.
The presence of these ghosts can be identified by observing sea returns and checking the returns for
dim areas or voids.
If a ghost is detected, remember the direction in which it appears and observe the target carefully.
(b) Side echo
There are cases in which an arc-shaped broken line appears over
the same range as the echo from the target.
This image is caused by
the side lobes of the beam emitted from the scanner unit.
This type
of false echoes can easily be identified if the target stands alone.
(c) Indirect echo
The direction of the radio wave
from the radar may be changed by a
reflection (secondary reflection) at a
chimney stack or mast of a ship,
developing a false echo in a direction
in which there should be no target.
The indirect echo developed by the
secondary reflection appears in the
direction of the chimney stack or
mast that reflected the radio wave.
209
(d) Multiple echo
Multiple echoes are developed by multiple reflections caused by a building or large vessels
that has large vertical surfaces. These echoes are spaced at an equal interval, with the one
that is closest to the own ship being the true echo.
(e) Radar interference
If there is a radar that uses the same frequency as that of the own ship near the own ship,
interferences caused by that radar appear on the PPI screen.
clusters of spots of varying patterns.
These interferences appear as

Display of Radar Transponder
SART (Search and Rescue Radar Transponder) is life preserving device approved by
GMDSS which is used for locating survivors in the event of a disaster or distress. SART
operates in the 9GHz frequency band. When it receives a radar signal (interrogating
radio wave) of 9GHz transmitted by a rescue ship or aircraft radar, SART transmits a
series of respouse signals to the searchers to indicate the distress position.
In order to see the SART or radar beacon mark on the radar screen.

Attention
When above settings ①to ⑥ are made to display SART signals, objects around
the own ship will not appear on the radar screen, so perform thorough visual
monitoring of the sea area around the own ship to avoid any collision or stranding.
Further, when more than one radar systems are mounted, while using a 9GHz
band radar for searching SART signals, be sure to use another radar as an
ordinary radar to perform monitoring of objects around the own ship to avoid any
collision, check of the position of the own ship to avoid any stranding, and so on.

Use of such organic solvents may damage the surface coating.
When cleaning the surface, remove dust and grime and wipe with a clean dry
cloth.
The following maintenance steps are required to ensure that the radar always operates in
the optimal condition. Since breakdowns will be reduced through maintenance, periodic
maintenance is recommended.
General maintenance steps common to all equipment are as follows.
Cleaning
Remove dust, grime and sea water that has adhered to the unit. Use dry cloth to clean
the unit. In particular, use a brush to clean the ventilating opening to ensure smooth flow
of air.
212
5.2
Scanner Unit
WARNING
When performing maintenance or inspection of the scanner unit, be sure to shut
off the main power source.
Sudden movement of the scanner may cause
collision and injury to the human body.
Be sure to shut off the main power source when approaching the scanner unit for
the purposes of maintenance or inspection.
Exposure to electric waves at
proximate distances may negatively affect the human body.
(1) Radiation unit
If the front of the radiation unit is soiled with soot, salt, paint specks, bird excrement or
other alien matter, electric waves may become attenuated and reflection may occur thus
causing degradation in the performance of the radar.
The radiation unit should be inspected and always kept clean by wiping with cloth
soaked in alcohol or water in the event of soiling.
Solvents such as gasoline, benzene, trichlene or ketone should never be used for this
purpose.
(2) Pedestal
The pedestal and attachment bolts of the scanner unit should be inspected periodically
for erosion and maintained to ensure safety. Painting is the best measure for preventing
erosion and it is recommended that this be undertaken once in half a year.
5.3
Display Unit
Cleaning the cathode-ray tube
When dust adheres to the cathode-ray tube, transparency degrades and the images
become dark.
Cleaning is performed using cloth soaked in water (flannel or cotton). Wiping
vigorously with dry cloth or the use of gasoline or thinner should be avoided.
CAUTION
Vigorous wiping with dry cloth or the use of gasoline or thinner should be
avoided in cleaning the cathode-ray tube.
Such action may cause scratches and deterioration.

Actions to Deal with Abnormalities and Breakdown
In the case of semiconductor circuits, except in cases of problems in the design or inspection of
such circuits or causes that are external or caused by humans, breakdown or deterioration of the
circuit does not often occur. In general, the causes of breakdown that are relatively frequently
found are wire cut in the high resistance device due to high humidity, defect in the variable
resistance and defective contact of switches and relays.
Moreover, in many cases the cause for breakdown is not a defect in parts but rather poor
adjustment (particularly inadequate tuning adjustment) or poor maintenance (particularly defect in
cable contact) and inspecting or readjusting these aspects is often effective in the case of
perceived abnormality or breakdown. The following table should be taken into consideration in
the case of abnormalities or breakdown.
There is always a cause for blown fuse and after replacing the fuse, it is necessary to
investigate the related circuits even when no abnormality remains. However, consideration
should be given to the fact that there is significant variance in the characteristics of fuse. Please
refer to the list on the fuses used given in Section 9.4.

9 Installation
This chapter has been written for the service technicians to read in case of installation.
WARNING
Only specialized personnel shall perform installation work.
Installation work performed by personnel other than specialized personnel
may cause breakdown of the equipment, poor performance, fire, severe electric shock and other property and human damages.
9.1
General
Proper installation of a radar unit is essential for extracting full capability of the unit
reliably and for facilitating troubleshooting and maintenance. Follow the guidelines
given below when installing the radar unit.
(a) Install the scanner unit as high as possible while taking its weight into consideration.
(b) Install the display unit in the wheel house for comfortable observation.
(c) The scanner unit and display unit are connected by 10 to 20 m compound cable with 20
conductors with an internal shield. The maximum permissible cable length is 20 m.
Cables larger than 20 m would deteriorate the radar performance of the radar unit.
229
9.2
Installing the Scanner Unit
9.2.1 Selecting the installation location
CAUTION
The scanner unit shall be installed where there are not large obstacles in the
direction of the ship's heading line in the same plane.
If there is a large impediment in the same plane as the scanner unit, this may
cause the generation of folse echoes. In particular, if such folse echoes
appear at the ship's heading line, monitoring will be difficult and this may
cause inadequate forecasting of danger.
Do not install the scanner unit near chimney's or the exhaust of chimneys.
Soot will cause the performance of the radar to decrease and heat may cause
breakdown.
Do not install direction antenna or VHF antenna in the vicinity of the scanner
unit. Doing so may cause noise in the antenna reception.
Consideration should be given to separating the radar cable from the cables
for the direction antenna and VHF antenna.
These cables should never be bundled into one. Doing so may cause noise
in the antenna reception.
9.2.2 Installation procedure
(a) If it is found that there is no height above the roof of the wheel house enough to directly
accommodate a scanner unit, install a pedestal or radar mast.
(b) In addition to a pedestal or radar mast, it is necessary to provide an appropriate staging
for convenience in installation, maintenance, adjustment, and repair of the scanner
unit.
230
(1) Precautions to be observed when installing the scanner unit on a power boat
The bow of a power boat is kept in a raised position when it is running at a high
speed. Consequently, if the radar's scanner unit is installed horizontally when the
boat is stopped, the following conditions will occur if the trim (elevation angle of the
ship's bow at run time) exceeds 1/2 of the vertical beam width (θ):
• On the front side, the water surface lies outside the beam, weakening the radio
wave that is incident to the target on the water surface. Consequently, the
echo generated by this target is will hardly be visible on the radar screen.
Conversely, on the rear side:
• Since the radio wave that is incident to the water surface is stronger, strong sea
clutter will develop. For vessels on which the trim is 1/2 or greater than the vertical beam width (θ), it is recommended that the scanner unit be installed in
such an orientation that it is tilted forwards.

(2) Precautions to be observed when installing the scanner unit on a yacht
A yacht heels on the lee side when a wind with a certain level of force blows.
The following condition occurs if the heel angle exceeds 1/2 of the beam width:
• On the windward side, the water surface lies outside the beam, weakening the
radio wave that is incident to the target on the water surface. Consequently,
the echo generated by this target is will hardly be visible on the radar screen.
Conversely, on the lee side:
• Since the radio wave that is incident to the water surface is stronger, strong sea
clutter will develop. For yachts on which the heel is 1/2 or greater than the vertical beam width (θ) , it is recommended that the scanner unit be installed on a
mounting base so that the scanner unit can be tilted on the left and right sides
according to the heel angle.

Installing the Display Unit
9.3.1 Selecting the installation location
Attention
The display unit should be installed at least 1 meter from the magnet compass.
If the display unit is installed in the vicinity of the magnet compass, the compass
may be affected.
Consider the following points when determining the location of the display unit:
(a) Install the display unit in a location that provides the operator with a convenient
viewing position.
(b) Take after-installation maintenance into consideration.
9.3.2 Installation procedure
(a) Install the display unit by drilling holes using the exterior dimension drawings of the
display unit as reference. Monitoring will be facilitated if the display is positioned so
that the operator faces the ship's heading line (the CRT faces astern).
(b) Wherever possible, select a location that is free of vibration.
9.3.3 Connecting the power cable
(a) Connect the power cable plug to the J1(POWER) connector on the rear panel of the
display unit.
(b) Connect the plug of the cable from the scanner unit to the J2(SC UNIT) connector on the
rear panel of the display unit.
●
Use an adequately heavy earth cable when connecting the earth terminal of the
display unit to the ship body.

Attention
Ensure that the output of the inboard power supply and rectifier unit and connection to
the power cable is correct.
Erroneous connection or voltage may cause breakdown.
9.5.3 Selecting a long cable
The effective voltage of the input to the radar is the voltage at the inboard power
supply minus the voltage drop caused by the power cable. Too thin or long a
power cable incurs a large voltage drop and may not be able to supply adequate
power to the radar. In is recommended that the following guidelines be observed
when selecting the power cable for your radar:
(a) Consider the possible voltage regulation of the inboard power supply (Vs).
(b) Use the following equation to calculate the voltage drop:
V=2LRKI
L:represents the cable length.
R:represents the direct-current resistance (<Ω>/m) at 20<℃>
K:represents the conductor resistance temperature coefficient (= 1.22)
I :Maximum peak current (A)
(c) The table below lists the direct-current resistance (R) and permissible current
(Imax) of several cables.

9.6
After-installation Adjustments
9.6.1 Installation-time check
(a) After completing the installation procedure, it is necessary to check the radar unit to
verify that all installation steps have been conducted as instructed.
In particular,
check for correct cabling, for normal component operating state, for water leakage in the
scanner unit, and for proper grounding of braided shielding cable.
9.6.2 Functional checks
(a) After completing the installation-time check and before checking the operation of the
radar, make sure that the output voltages of the inboard power supply fall within their
permissible range.
(b) Read "3 Basic Operation" carefully and thoroughly and make sure that the radar
functions normally. Then, manipulate all controls and menu functions to ensure that
they function normally.
(c) If it becomes necessary to make an adjustment though the radar unit is normal, read
"9.7 Adjustment Procedures" carefully and follow the instructions given in that section.
9.6.3 Adjustment items
(a) Radar's bearing adjustment is mandatory.
(b) If the control is not positioned near the center of the scale during tuning or if tuning fails,
make a coarse tuning from the "TUNE PRESET" menu.
(c) If there is a difference between the range displayed on the radar's PPI screen and the
actual range, adjust the range from the "DISPLAY TIMING" menu.
(d) The "BUZZER" menu can be used to adjust the volume of the alarming buzzer.
(e) The "STC PRESET" menu can be used to adjust the STC.

9.10 Maintenance
9.10.1 General maintenance
It is necessary to perform the maintenance services listed below to keep the radar unit
in good working conditions. Proper maintenance of the radar unit minimizes the possibility of machine failures. The maintenance operations that are common to all components of the radar unit are listed below.
1. Cleaning
Remove dirt, dust, or water-spray from the radar unit enclosure and keep it as clean as
possible. Use a dry lint-free cloth.
2. Screw inspection
Check the screws used to assemble and secure the components of the radar unit for
loose connection.
3. Cabling check
Check the cables connecting between the components (between the scanner unit and
display unit, display unit and power supply, and display unit and optional devices) for
poor connection.
WARNING
Before starting maintenance work, be sure to turn off the main power source.
If a rectifier unit is used, in particular, turn off power to the display unit. Note
that voltages from the rectifier unit are always present even if the radar is
stopped. It may result in sereve electric shock or breakdown.
265
9.10.2 Scanner unit
WARNING
When performing maintenance or inspection of the scanner unit, be sure to
shut off the safety switch of the scanner unit after turning off the power of the
display unit.
Failure to do this may cause severe electric shock or
breakdown or the sudden movement of the scanner unit may cause bodily
injury or breakdown.
CAUTION
Since the magnetron in the modulator circuit emits strong magnetism, watches
or magnetic cards should not be brought into close proximity of the modulator
circuit. Doing so may cause breakdown and destruction of data contained in
such items.
1. Radiation unit
(a) A radiation surface of radiation unit (JMA-2343: Whole surface of the radome cover /
JMA-2344: Front side of radiation unit) contaminated by smoke, dust, or paint would
cause attenuation or reflections of radio waves, resulting in reduced radar performance.
Periodically check the radome scanner unit. If it proves dirty, wipe the radome surface
with a soft lint-free cloth moistened with alcohol or damped cloth.
CAUTION
Never use such solvent as Thinner, Gasoline, Benzen, Trichlene or Kentene
for cleaning. Those solvents deteriorate the surface.
266
2. Rotary drive block (JMA
(JMA--2344)
(a) Lubricating gears
Apply grease to gears evenly using a knife or brush. This lubrication needs to be performed at least semiannually. The shorter the lubrication period, the longer the gears will
endure.
Use Mobilux 2 from Mobile Oil Co., Ltd. or equivalent.
(b) Drive motor (JMA-2344)
(α) Reduction gears
The reduction gears need no lubrication unless it is subject to oil leakage. If
they are disassembled for overhaul, replenish lubricant "Beacon 325" from Esso
Standard.
(β) Motor
The life time of the brush unit is 2,000 hours. The brush needs to be replaced if
1/2 of the overall length is worn.
The commuter needs to be kept clean. If any carbon power fixed on the commuter cannot be removed with a dry cloth, burnish it with a sand paper # 150 to
#400.
The carbon brush can be removed by removing the caps located on both sides of
the bottom portion of the motor.

9.10.3 Display unit
Cleaning the Display Unit Screen
● Dust on the CRT tube would reduce the glass transparency and make the vide
image dim. Wipe the screen surface with a soft lint-free cloth (made of flannel or
cotton). A cloth moistened with an antistatic agent would cause little problem.
When using it, wipe softly; never rub the screen surface with force.
