z Wait for about 2 seconds before turning on the
power again.
z Immediately after the radar is installed, at start of the
system after it has not been used for a long time, or
after the magnetron is replaced, preheat the
equipment in the standby state for 20 to 30 minutes
before setting it into the transmit state.
z If the preheating time is short, the magnetron
causes sparks, resulting in its unstable oscillation.
Start transmission on a short-pulse range and
change the range to the longer pulse ranges in turn.
If the transmission is unstable in the meantime,
immediately place the system back into the standby
state and maintain it in the standby state for 5 to 10
minutes before restarting the operation.
Repeat these steps until the operation is stabilized.
3.1.1 Power ON and Start the System

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.
Using the manual rain / snow clutter suppression mode
Procedures 1 Adjust the rain / snow clutter returns of the display by turning the
[AUTO-RAIN] dial until targets can be easily observed.
Turning [AUTO-RAIN] dial clockwise suppresses rain / snow clutter returns.
Turning [AUTO-RAIN] dial counterclockwise intensifies rain / snow clutter returns.
When the [AUTO-RAIN] dial is turned clockwise, the rain / snow clutter suppression
function suppresses rain / snow clutter returns and gets targets hidden by rain / snow clutter
returns to appear of the display. However, be careful that excessive suppression may
cause small targets to be overlooked. Since the rain / snow clutter suppression function
also has the effect of suppressing sea clutter, the suppression efficiency improves when the
[AUTO-RAIN] dial is used with the [AUTO-SEA] dial. In general, turn the
[AUTO-RAIN] dial fully to the left.
It is recommended to restore the setting to the factory default,

scale). Since targets are displayed in their directions relative to the ship’s heading line, the
operator can view the video in the same field of view as in operating the ship at sea. This mode
is suitable for watching over other ships.
Course-up Mode [C Up]
By setting the course-up mode, own ship's course is fixed so that it is located on the zenith of the
display (0° on bearing scale). In the same way as in the North-up mode, fixed targets do not
flicker, and are stabilized even if the ship is yawing. The bearing of the heading line varies by
the same shift of own ship’s course. To change the course, press the [AZI MODE] key several
times again to select the course-up mode so as to set a new course.

Trails Motion Mode
There are two types of trails, relative motion trails and true motion trails.
Relative motion trails : The system plots the trails of a target at a position relative to the own
ship.
The operator can easily judge whether the target is approaching the own
ship.
While the own ship is moving, the system also plots the trails of land and
other fixed targets.
True motion trails : The system plots the absolute motion trails of a target, irrespective of the
own ship’s position.
The operator can easily judge the course and speed of the target.
The system does not plot the trails of land and other fixed targets.
Trails modes provided with this system vary depending on the motion mode.
With true motion (TM) mode : Only the true motion trails mode is available.
With relative motion (RM) mode :
The relative motion trails mode or true motion trails mode is selectable.
RM(R) is indicated while the relative motion trails mode is active.
RM(T) is indicated while the true motion trails mode is active.

3.9.3 Overview of Function Operations (User Function Setting)
The following outlines the operation of each function selected from the function setting menu.
Procedures 1 Press the [FUNC] key for 2 seconds.
The User Function Setting menu will appear.
Specify the number for the function for which the settings are to be changed.
The following are the operation overviews of each function setting item.
[Page 1] [1] Mode
• Selects the function name to be indicated at the lower left of the display when the function is
selected.
• When the setting is changed back to the factory setting, the initial value of the selected mode is
called.
• The following 11 modes are provided.
Coast : Use this mode to monitor a relatively short range, for example, bays and
coasts where many boats and ships are running. (Importance is attached to
resolution.)
Deepsea : Use this mode to monitor a relatively long range, for example, the open
sea. (Importance is attached to long-range gain.)
Fishnet : Use this mode to detect small targets such as fishnets of round haul netters
hidden by sea clutter returns. (Importance is attached to sea clutter
suppression, and gain to moving targets lowers.)
Storm : Use this mode when many rain / snow clutter returns or sea clutter returns
are detected in stormy weather. (Importance is attached to rain / snow
clutter and sea clutter suppression, and gain slightly lowers.)
Calm : Use this mode when only a few rain / snow clutter returns or sea clutter
returns are detected.
Rain : Use this mode when sea clutter is not strong but rain / snow clutter is strong.
(Importance is attached to rain / snow clutter suppression, and gain slightly
lowers.)
Bird : Use this mode to detect flocks of sea birds.
Long : Use this mode to monitor utmost distances in the broad ocean.
Buoy : Use this mode to detect small targets like radio buoys in areas outside the
sea clutter area. (This mode displays targets of which detection probability
is low.)
User1 : General mode used when the nine modes above are not applicable.
User2 : General mode used when the nine modes above are not applicable.

[Page 1] [3] Process (Video Process)
• Same function as Process described in Section 3.4.4.
[Page 1] [4] Target Enhance
• Same function as Target Enhance described in Section 3.4.3.
[Page 1] [5] Auto STC / FTC (Auto Sea / Rain)
• Detects unwanted waves such as rain / snow clutter and sea clutter and automatically suppresses
them.
• When the sea state or weather changes, this function automatically performs suppression
processing in accordance with the situation.
• Suppression processing is not full automatic, and requires the operator to adjust the afterimages of
unwanted waves.
• To adjust the afterimage of sea clutter, use the [SEA] dial.
• To adjust the afterimage of rain / snow clutter, use the [RAIN] dial.
• In areas where the density of unwanted waves is low, unwanted waves may remain being judged
as targets. Thus, use the automatic clutter suppression mode together with the video process
mode.
• Characteristics of the automatic clutter suppression function.
Off : Disables the automatic clutter suppression function.
Select off when rain / snow clutter and sea clutter are not strong
or when the ship is in a bay.
AUTO Sea : Automatically detects the strength of sea clutter, and performs the
most suitable sea clutter suppression processing.
Even when the strength of sea clutter varies depending on the
wind direction, AUTO Sea performs the most suitable suppression
processing.
Land like islands can be displayed naturally.
Since rain clouds outside sea clutter areas are recognized as land,
there is no effect of suppressing rain / snow clutter.
AUTO Sea/Rain : Along with AUTO Sea, AUTO Rain automatically detects the
strength of rain / snow clutter, and performs the most suitable rain
/ snow clutter suppression processing.
When rain clouds are scattered about, AUTO Rain performs rain
/ snow clutter suppression processing for only the rain-cloud areas.
Since land is recognized as rain clouds, land videos become
obscure.
[Page 2] [1] - [7] Pulse Length
• Sets the standard transmitter pulse length in each range.
• When the range is called, the pulse range is used.
[Page 3] [1] - [7] Process Setting
• Operation is the same as that of the Process Setting menu described in Section 3.8.1.
3-99
[Page 4] [1] - [7] Trails Setting
• Same functions as in the Trails Setting menu described in Section 3.8.2.
[Page 5] [1] Gain Offset
• Corrects gain while the function mode is called.
• Since the displayed noise level varies depending on the combination of the video process mode
and the interference rejection level, gain needs fine adjustment for always obtaining the highest
level.
• The gain correction function saves the correction value set by the gain adjust in each function
mode, so it can obtain the highest gain without the gain adjust being operated when the function
mode is changed.
• To set high gain, set a value on the “+” side.
• To set low gain, set a value on the “-” side.
• When the radar interference rejection level is increased, the noise level is lowered. Thus, set a
gain correction value to the “+” side.
• When the video process mode 3Scan CORREL , 4Scan CORREL , or 5Scan CORREL is
used, the noise level is lowered. Thus, set a gain correction value to the “+” side.
• When the video process mode Remain or Peak Hold is used, noise is hard to disappear.
Thus, set a gain correction value to the “-” side.
[Page 5] [2] PRF
• Same function as in the Pulse Repetition Frequency described in 3.8.3.
[Page 5] [3] Small Buoy Detection
• When the automatic sea clutter suppression function is used, this mode is used to process signals
for detecting small targets.
Off : Activates the general signal processing mode.
On : The signal processing mode for detecting small targets.
[Page 5] [4] Fishnet Detection
• Use this mode to detect small targets hidden by sea clutter returns.
• The simultaneous use with the automatic rain / snow clutter suppression function will increase
effects.
Off : Activates the general signal processing mode.
On : Activates the fishnet detection mode.
[Page 5] [5] Antenna Height
• Set the height of radar antenna above sea level.
• The STC/FTC curve is changed.
-5m : Set the antenna height under 5m.
5-10m : Set the antenna height 5m to 10m.
