◆◆◆PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATION◆◆◆

■ Cautions for high voltage

High voltages from hundreds volts to tens of thousands volts are to be applied to the electronic

equipment such radio and radar devices. You do not face any danger during normal operation,

but sufficient cares are required for maintenance, inspection and adjustment of their internal

components. (Maintenance, check-up and adjustment of the inside of the equipment are prohibited

except by maintenance specialists.)

High voltages of tens of thousands volts are so dangerous as to bring an instantaneous death from

electric shock, but even voltages of hundred volts may sometimes lead to a death from electric

shock. To prevent such an accident, make it a rule to turn off the power switch, discharge

capacitors with a wire surely earthed on an end make sure that internal parts are no longer charged

before you touch any parts inside these devices. At the time, wearing dry cotton gloves ensures

you further to prevent such danger. It is also a necessary caution to put one of your hands in the

pocket and not to use your both hands at the same time.

It is also important to select a stable foothold always to prevent additional injuries once you were

shocked by electricity. If you were injured from electric shock, disinfect the burn sufficiently

and get it taken care of promptly.

■ What to do in case of electric shock

When finding a victim of electric shock, turn off the power source and earth the circuit

immediately.

If it is impossible to turn off the circuit, move the victim away promptly using insulators such as

dry wood plate and cloth without touching the victim directly.

In case of electric shock, breathing may stop suddenly if current flows to the respiration center in

the brain. If the shock is not so strong, artificial respiration may recover breathing. When

shocked by electricity, the victim will come to look very bad with weak pulse or without beating,

resulting in unconsciousness and rigidity. In this case, it is necessary to perform an emergency

measure immediately.

◆◆◆FIRST-AID TREATMENTS◆◆◆

☆ First-aid treatments

As far as the victim of electric shock is not in dangerous condition, do not move him and practice

artificial respiration on him immediately. Once started, it should be continued rhythmically.

(1) Do not touch the victim confusedly as a result of the accident, but the rescuer may also get an

electric shock.

(2) Turn off the power source calmly and move the victim away quietly from the electric line.

(3) Call a physician or ambulance immediately or ask someone to call a doctor.

(4) Lay the victim on this back and loosen his necktie, clothes, belt, etc.

(5) a. Examine the victim’s pulse.

b. Examine his heartbeat bringing your ear close to his heart.

c. Examine his breathing bringing the back of your hand or your face close to his face.

d. Check the size of the pupils of his eyes.

(6) Open the victim’s mouth and take out artificial teeth, cigarette or chewing gum if any.

Keep his mouth open, stretch his tongue and insert a towel or the like in his mouth to prevent

the tongue from suffocating. (If it is hard to open his mouth due to set teeth, open it with a

screwdriver and insert a towel in this mouth.)

(7) Then, wipe his mouth so that foaming mucus does not accumulate inside.

☆ When pulse is beating but breathing has stopped

(Mouth-to-mouth respiration) Fig. 1

(1) Tilt the victim’s head back as far as this face looks back. (A pillow may be inserted his neck.)

(2) Push his jaw upward to open his throat wide (to spread his airway).

(3) Pinch the victim’s nostrils and take a deep breath, block his mouth completely with yours

and blow into his mouth strongly. Take a deep breath again and blow into his mouth.

Continue this 10 to 15 times a minutes (blocking his nostrils).

(4) Carefully watch that he has recovered his natural breathing and atop practicing artificial

respiration.

(5) If it is difficult to open the victim’s mouth, insert a rubber or vinyl tube into one of his

nostrils and blow into it blocking the other nostril and his mouth completely.

(6) When the victim recovers consciousness, he may try to stand up suddenly, but let him lie

calmly and serve him with a cup of hot coffee or tea and keep him warm and quiet. (Never

give him alcoholic drinks.)

Method of mouth-to-mouth respiration by raising head

(1) Raise the victim’s head. Support his

forehead with one of your hand and his

neck with the other hand. →1

When you tilt his head backward, the

victim, in most cases, opens his mouth to

the air. This makes mouth-to mouth

respiration easy.

(2) Cover his mouth as widely as possible with

yours and press your cheek against his nose

→2

or, pinch his nostrils with your fingers to

prevent air from leaking. →3

(3) Blow into his lungs. Continue blowing

into his mouth until his breast swells.

Blow into his mouth as quickly as possible

for the first 10 times.

Fig. 1 Mouth-to mouth respiration

☆ When both pulse and breathing have stopped

Perform the (Cardiac massage) Fig. 2 and (Mouth-to-mouth respiration) Fig. 1

When no pulse has come not to be felt, his pupils are open and no heartbeat is heard, cardiac arrest

is supposed to have occurred and artificial respiration must be performed.

(1) Place your both hands, one hand on the other, on the lower one third area of his breastbone

and compress his breast with your elbows applying your weight on his breast so that it is

dented about 2cm (Repeat compressing his breast 50 times or so a minutes). (Cardiac

massage)

(2) In case of one rescuer,

Repeat cardiac massages about 15 times and blow into his mouth 2 times quickly, and repeat

this combination.

In case of two rescuers,

One person repeats cardiac massages 15 times while the other person blow into his mouth

twice, and they shall repeat this combination. (Perform the cardiac massage and

mouth-to-mouth respiration)

(3) Examine his pupils and his pulse sometimes. When the both have returned to normal, stop

the artificial respiration, serve him with a cup of hot coffee or tea and keep him warm and

calm while watching him carefully. Commit the victim to a medical specialist depending

on his condition. (Never give him alcoholic drinks.) To let him recover from the mental

shock, it is necessary for persons concerned to understand his situations and the necessary

treatment.

●PRECAUTIONS●

DANGER

Never carry out internal inspection or repair work of the

equipment by users.

Inspection or repair work by uncertified personnel may

result in fire hazard or electrocution.

For inspection and repair work of equipment components,

consult with our branch office, branch shop, sales office,

or our distributor in your district.

When conducting maintenance, make sure to turn the main

power off.

Failure to comply may result in electrocution.

Turn off the main power before cleaning the equipment.

Especially when a rectifier is used, make sure to turn it off

since voltage is still outputted from the rectifier even after

the indicator and the radar are turned off. Failure to comply

may result in equipment failure, or death or serious injury

due to electric shock.

When conducting maintenance work on the scanner, make

sure to turn its main power off.

Failure to comply may result in electrocution or injuries.

Make sure to turn off the scanner safety switch. Failure to

comply may result in injuries caused by physical contact

with the rotating scanner.

Do not touch the radiator. Even if the power is turned off,

the radiator may be rotated by the wind.

- iv -

WARNING

Never directly touch the internal components of the

scanner or indicator. Direct contact with these high-voltage

components may cause electrocution. For maintenance,

inspection, or adjustment of equipment components,

consult with our branch office, branch shop, sales office,

or our distributor in your district.

To contact our sales department, branch offices, branch

shops, and sales offices:

Please refer to the "Office List" at the end of the document.

Do not get close to the radiant section of the scanner. It is

a rotating part, and it may cause injuries if it suddenly

starts rotating and consequently hits the body. It is

recommended that the radiant section be installed at a high

place such as on the roof of the wheelhouse, on the flying

bridge, on the trestle, or on the radar mast so that no one

can get close to it. When any work must be done on the

scanner, make sure to turn the safety switch off.

Microwave radiation level:

Keep away from a scanner.

The high level of microwave is radiated from the center of

the front face of the scanner specified below. The

microwave exposure at close range could result in injuries

(especially of the eyes).

Make sure to install the scanner at a place higher than

human height.

Direct exposure to electromagnetic waves at close range

will have adverse effects on the human body.

Do not change MBS Level/Area unless absolutely

necessary.

Incorrect adjustment will result in deletion of nearby target

images and thus collisions may occur resulting in death or

serious injuries.

- v -

WARNING

When cleaning the display screen, do not wipe it too

strongly with a dry cloth. Also, do not use gasoline or

thinner to clean the screen. Failure to comply will result in

damage to the screen surface.

Direct exposure to electromagnetic waves at close range

will have adverse effects on the human body. When it is

necessary to get close to the scanner for maintenance or

inspection purposes, make sure to turn the indicator power

switch to "OFF" or "STBY."

Direct exposure to electromagnetic waves at close range

will have adverse effects on the human body.

When conducting maintenance work, make sure to turn off

the power and unplug the power connector J1 of the radar

process unit so that the power supply to the equipment is

completely cut off.

Some equipment components can carry electrical current

even after the power switch is turned off, and conducting

maintenance work without unplugging the power

connector may result in electrocution, equipment failure, or

accidents.

When disposing of used lithium batteries, be sure to

insulate the batteries by attaching a piece of adhesive tape

on the + and - terminals. Failure to comply may cause

heat generation, explosion, or fire when the batteries get

shorted out.

- vi -

CAUTION

A malfunction may occur if the power in the ship is

instantaneously interrupted during operation of the radar.

In this case, the power should be turned on again.

Normally, use the automatic tune mode.

Use the manual tune mode only when best tuning is not

possible in the automatic tune mode due to deterioration of

magnetron.

If the gain is too high, unnecessary signals including

receiver noise and false video increase resulting in

reduction of visibility of targets.

On the contrary, if the gain is too low, targets including

ships and dangerous objects may not be clearly indicated.

When using the sea clutter suppression function, never set

the suppression level too high canceling out all image

noises from the sea surface at close range.

Detection of not only echoes from waves but also targets

such as other ships or dangerous objects will become

inhibited.

When using the sea clutter suppression function, make

sure to choose the most appropriate image noise

suppression level.

When using the rain / snow clutter suppression function,

never set the suppression level too high canceling out all

image noises from the rain or snow at the close range.

Detection of not only echoes from the rain or snow but also

targets such as other ships or dangerous objects will

become inhibited.

When using the rain / snow clutter suppression function,

make sure to choose the most appropriate image noise

suppression level.

- vii -

CAUTION

Use the radar only as a navigation aid.

The final navigation decision must always be made by the

operator him/herself.

Making the final navigation decision based only on the

radar display may cause accidents such as collisions or

running aground.

Use target tracking function only as a navigation aid. The

final navigation decision must always be made by the

operator him/herself.

Making the final navigation decision based only on

tracking target information may cause accidents.

Tracking target information such as vector, target

numerical data, and alarms may contain some errors. Also,

targets that are not detected by the radar cannot be

acquired or tracked.

Making the final navigation decision based only on the

radar display may cause accidents such as collisions or

running aground.

In setting an automatic acquisition zone, it is necessary to

adjust the gain, sea clutter suppression and rain clutter

suppression to ensure that target echoes are displayed in

the optimum conditions. No automatic acquisition zone

alarms will be issued for targets undetected by the radar,

and this may cause accidents such as collisions.

Target Tracking Function Test is provided to test if the

target tracking function is operating normally. Thus, do not

use the function except when you test the target tracking

function.

In particular, if the operation test mode is used during

navigation, pseudo targets appear on the radar display and

they are confused with actual targets.

Do not use the mode during navigation.

Otherwise, an accident may result.

- viii -

CAUTION

If a great value is set as a condition for deciding targets as

identical, a tracking target near an AIS target is regarded

as identical to the AIS target and it may not be displayed

any more.

For example, when a pilot boat (which is a small target not

being tracked) equipped with an AIS function approaches a

cargo ship as a tracking target not equipped with an AIS

function, the tracking target symbol of the cargo ship may

not be displayed any more.

Since these alarms may include some errors depending on

the target tracking conditions, the navigation officer

himself should make the final decision for ship operations

such as collision avoidance.

Making the final navigation decision based only on the

alarm may cause accidents such as collisions.

Any adjustments must be made by specialized service

personnel.

Incorrect settings may result in unstable operation.

Do not make any adjustments during navigation. Failure to

comply may result in adverse effects on the radar function

which may lead to accidents or equipment failure.

Optimal values have been set for Video Level and Vector

Constant; therefore, never change their values unless

absolutely necessary. Failure to comply may result in

accidents that would lower target tracking performance.

Do not change the quantization level settings unless

absolutely necessary. If set at an inappropriate value, the

target acquisition or target tracking function deteriorates,

and this may lead to accidents.

Any adjustments must be made by specialized service

personnel.

Failure to comply may result in accidents or equipment

failure.

- ix -

CAUTION

Make sure to shut off the main power before replacing

parts. Failure to comply may result in electrocution or

equipment failure.

When replacing magnetrons, make sure to shut off the

main power and let the equipment stand for more than 5

minutes to discharge the high-voltage circuit. Failure to

comply may result in electrocution.

Make sure to take off your watch when your hand must get

close to the magnetron.

Failure to comply may result in damage to the watch since

the magnetron is a strong magnet.

Make sure that two or more staff member work together

when replacing the LCD. If only one person attempts to

replace the LCD, he/she may drop it and become injured.

Do not directly touch the inverter circuit of the LCD display

with a bare hand since high voltage temporarily remains in

the circuit even after the main power is shut off.

Failure to comply may result in electrocution.

1.2 FEATURES

Realization of Large, Easy-to-see Screen with High Resolution

The 19-inch color LCD with high resolution of 1280 × 1024 pixels can display radar images of 250 mm or

more in diameter. Even short-range targets can also be displayed as high-resolution images.

Target Detection by Latest Signal Processing Technology

The system employs the latest digital signal processing technology to eliminate undesired clutter from the

radar video signals that are obtained from the receiver with a wide dynamic range, thus improving the target

detection.

Advanced Technology Based Target Tracking (TT) Functions (Option)

The target acquisition and tracking performance is enhanced by the use of the fastest DSP and tracking

algorithm. So stable operation in target tracking under clutter is ensured.

• Acquisition and tracking of 100 targets for High performance edition, 30 targets for Normal edition.

• Hazardous conditions are represented by shapes and colors of symbols as well as sounds.

• Trial maneuvering functions provided. (High performance edition)

• Tracks of up to 20 target ships can be stored with a maximum of 1,500 points for each of them, and

displayed distinguished by using 7 different colors.

Overlay of Radar Images, Coastlines, and Own Ship's Track

As well as operator-created NAV lines, the data of coastlines, objects such as buoys, and own ship's tracks /

target tracks / AIS tracks, which is stored on the memory card can be superimpose-displayed with radar

images and radar trails in all display modes including the head-up mode.

Creation / display of marks and lines (up to 2000 items).

Use of the optional plotter function enables the own track display distinguished by using 7 different colors,

creation of marks and lines (up to 20000 items) and the settings of waypoints / courses.

Easy Operation with GUI

All the radar functions can be easily controlled by simply using the trackball and 2 switches to operate the

buttons shown on the radar display.

Improved Day / Night Mode

Five types of background colors are available in Day / Dusk / Night mode.

Each background color can be reproduced to be suited for the user’s operating environment by simple key

operation. The radar echoes and a variety of graphics can also be represented in different colors, ensuring

easy-to-see displays.

1-3

Self-diagnostic Program Incorporated

The Self-diagnostic program always monitors all the functions of the system. If any function deteriorates,

an alarm message will appear on the radar display and an alarm sounds at the same time. Even when the

system is operating, the functionality test can be carried out. (except on some functions)

Easy Interswitch Operation (Option)

If an interswitch unit (option) is connected, up to four JMA-5300MK2 radars can be switched over by

performing simple operation.

* An interswitch (NQE-3141) is needed separately.

Various Functions

• RADAR Trails

• TM (True Motion) display

• Head-up / North-up / Course-up display

• Own ship’s track display

• Automatic Acquisition / Activation function (Option)
