ED 3038 G 232 / 01 (2002-06) Operating Instructions General Safety Precautionsb_r1_esh.fm / 21.06.023RADARPILOT / CHARTRADAR General Safety PrecautionsThe radar can perform its safety function if, and only if, the transmission power and the receiver sensitivityare adequate. Therefore, these characteristics must be checked regularly (by means of the PerformanceMonitor – see Section 21).Connected position receivers must fulfil the standard IEC 61162-1 1).ARPA target data are directly dependent upon the accuracy and proper functioning of the selected speedsensor and the gyro compass.DANGER: High frequency radiationPersons must definitely avoid being present in the radiation danger zoneof the rotating antenna.In the case of work being done on the antenna unit, the antenna switchsituated there must be set to 0 and the transceiver must be discon-nected from the ship’s mains.☞There is no international agreement about the danger posed by high frequency radiation of the kindproduced by the radar systems. In most countries, a radiation density exceeding 100 W/m2 is consid-ered to be dangerous; in some countries, values over 10 W/m2 are regarded as not being completelysafe.1) IEC 61162-1 largely corresponds to NMEA 0183 Version 2.30 of 1st March 1998.Antenna Type TransceiverA=Up B=DownRadius of the Radiation Danger ZoneRadiation Density100 W/m2Radiation Density10 W/m25 ft X-Band 12.5 kW, Version A 1.4 m 14 m25 kW, Version B 1.65 m 16 m8 ft X-Band 12.5 kW, Version A 0.65 m 7 m14 ft S-Band 30 kW, Version A 1.3 m 13 m30 kW, Version B 0.7 m 7.8 mParticular attention must be paid to the notes and warnings refer-ring to possible faults in the radar display, since such faults canimpair the detection of targets.

Therefore, itmust be ensured beforehand that all antennas can rotate freely and thatare no persons near the antennas.The units may be opened only by qualified, trained persons.DANGER: Dangerous voltageEven when the equipment is switched off, there can be a dangerousvoltage present at exposed contacts in the units. Therefore, before a unitis opened, it must be ensured that the voltage supply to the unit isdisconnected from the ship’s mains, and that it remains disconnected.Because of the capacitors contained in the units, there can be adangerous voltage present in any unit even several minutes (or severalhours in the case of monitors) after switching off and disconnectionfrom the power supply.☞If the units are to be disconnected from the ship’s mains, it must be remembered that each antennaunit, each transceiver electronics unit and each indicator normally has its own supply of power fromthe ship’s mains.If, for the transfer of signals (e.g. transfer of the heading signal from the compass system), synchrotransmitter are used, a dangerous voltage exists in the units until the reference voltage is switchedoff.

ED 3038 G 232 / 01 (2002-06) Operating Instructions1 Overview1.1 RADARPILOT ATLAS 1000b_r1_e11.fm / 21.06.029RADARPILOT / CHARTRADAR 1 OverviewSubjects of this Section:◆Brief overview of the parts of the system◆Optional parts and functionsThe radar system can be configured in two main versions:- the basic version, called RADARPILOT ATLAS 1000- an expanded version, called CHARTRADAR ATLAS 1000 (or MULTIPILOT ATLAS 1000, seeSection 1.3) which, in addition, offers the possibility to display selected parts of the Electronic Charton the radar screen in an alternative display mode.Both versions are approved according to the published radar performance standards. 1.1 RADARPILOT ATLAS 1000From the components of the RADARPILOT, it is possible to assemble radar sets and radar systems forall types of ship.In a RADARPILOT System, the following components can be combined with each other in any desiredmanner:- X-Band or S-Band transceiver and antenna- Electronics Units with manual (EPA) or automatic (ARPA) plotting aids.- 12" or 16" indicators- Radar indicators as console versions or desk-top versionsThe scope ranges from single systems to multiple systems consisting of five transceivers and five indica-tors.Not only the system configuration but also the manner of use is extremely flexible: with just a few oper-ating steps, each radar indicator can be switched to act as the master indicator of any desired transceiveror as a slave for any transceiver that is operating (interswitch function).☞On the master indicator, all functions of the radar can be operated, i.e. both on the transmitter sideand on the receiver side. On the slave indicator, most functions on the reception side can be setindependently of the master.All radar sets are suitable for high speed craft (HSC’s) too (if the antenna gearboxes are chosen appro-priately), and on ships with normal speed they can be operated at twice the antenna rotation rate if thisis required by the situation.1.2 CHARTRADAR ATLAS 1000The CHARTRADAR consists of the same components as those of the RADARPILOT, and also has allthe characteristics of the RADARPILOT. In addition, it offers the possibility that the vector charts whichexist in the CHARTPILOT can be displayed on the radar. 1)1) From the point of view of approval, the CHARTRADAR can be configured at service level in such a way that it fulfils the regulation IEC60936-1, "Shipborne Radar" or the regulation IEC 60963-3, "Radar with Chart Functions". In the latter case, there are limitations in thedisplay of the chart - see footnotes on page 30 and page 43.

CHARTPILOT and CHARTRADAR or RADARPILOT exchange a large quantity ofdata with each other, especially relating to the navigation sensors, the tracks, and the alarms that aregenerated by the ECDIS which is contained in the CHARTPILOT.1.3 MULTIPILOT ATLAS 1000The MULTIPILOT ATLAS 1000 has a different Electronics Unit. There, it can be specified at service levelwhether the MULTIPILOT is to perform the functions of the CHARTRADAR or those of the CHART-PILOT 1).In the first case, the MULTIPILOT ATLAS 1000 does not differ from the CHARTRADAR as far as theoperating procedure and the functions are concerned. All statements made about the CHARTRADAR inthese Operating Instructions are also applicable to the MULTIPILOT ATLAS 1000.In the second case, the MULTIPILOT ATLAS 1000 does not differ from the CHARTPILOT ATLAS 9330as far as the operating procedure and the functions are concerned - see Operating Instructions ED 3032G 232.1.4 The Equipment Components The radar systems (RADARPILOT and CHARTRADAR) consist of two segments which are connected toone another via bus systems (CAN Bus) etc. These segments are the radar indicator and the transceiver/antenna.The radar indicator is the central operating and display unit. It consists of- the monitor, with a high-resolution 21" colour screen for the 12" radar or a 29" colour screen for the16" radar,- the trackball, with which all operating inputs can be made,- the radar keyboard, with which operating steps that are frequently used can be carried out particu-larly conveniently by means of function keys and rotary knobs,- the diskette drive, which permits very easy servicing and makes it possible to save data and toexchange data with radar systems installed on other ships, and- the display electronics unit, the heart of which consists of a high-performance computer which alsoperforms the communication with the display electronics units of the other radar sets installed. Inaddition, the interface adaptation for navigation sensors having NMEA interfaces takes place here.- On the radar interconnection box, all ship’s cables leading to the radar indicator are connected. Ifnecessary, special Interface electronics is also accommodated here.The parts of the radar indicator are usually integrated within a console. However, they can also beassembled as a desk-top version without integrating the display electronics and the interconnection box.The display electronics unit is then installed together with the radar interconnection box to form a singleunit.1) In a future version, this selection will be made by means of the normal operating procedure.

Each slave keyboard or slave trackball isassigned to a slave monitor. For each slave keyboard/trackball, there is an electronics unit called akeyboard switch which, by means of a single operating step, makes it possible to assign the oper-ating functions to a slave keyboard (trackball) / slave monitor pair.-a video buffer is used, if there is more than one slave monitor connected to an indicator.The RF components are-the transceiver (electronics unit), which contains the X-Band transceiver or the S-Band transceiver(transceiver version B = bulkhead), and-the antenna (unit), consisting of-the antenna gearbox (X-Band or S-Band) and-the scanner (5 ft X-Band or 8 ft X-Band scanner or 14 ft S-Band scanner).The transceiver can also be accommodated in the antenna gearbox, so that there is no need for aseparate transceiver electronics unit (transceiver version A = antenna/mast ahead).In addition, a unit called-the Interface Expander may be present. When there are more than two radar indicators or morethan two transceivers installed, the switch-over between the indicators and transceivers is performedby the Interswitch installed in the Interface Expander. If additional interfaces or interfaces having anon-standardised format have to be implemented, the electronics which is additionally installed in theInterface Expander performs the necessary interfacing and data distribution.Examples of various equipment configurations are given in the following illustrations.☞The TVA 1) signals entered there are the combined reception signals of the transceivers. In the indi-cators, these signals are used to generate the radar video signal, as well as the trigger signals andantenna signals.1.5 Scope of Applicability of these Operating InstructionsThese operating instructions cover all of the above-mentioned variants of the RADARPILOT and CHAR-TRADAR equipment and systems. It refers to RADARPILOT ATLAS 1000 and CHARTRADAR ATLAS1000 systems which are approved under the software version stated on the title page. 2) ☞Unless the RADARPILOT or CHARTRADAR or MULTIPILOT is mentioned specifically, all state-ments made in these Operating Instructions apply to these types of equipment.1) TVA = Trigger, Video, Azimuth2) On page 134, there is a description of how the software version of the radar system can be displayed.

When this is done, all indicators andtransceivers are switched on. 1) andAfter the warm-up phase of the magnetron - 3 minutes for X-Band and 3.5 minutes for S-Band - stand-by operation is achieved and the radar function can be switched on; see page 47.☞The act of switching an indicator on never causes a transceiver to be switched directly into radarMode.☞If an attempt to switch over to radar operation occurs before stand-by operation is achieved, the indi-cation WARM UP appears instead of the list of transceivers.Switching the radar system OFF: Switch off all indicators by means of the ON/OFF switch 2). As longas there is one of the switches in the ON state, all electronics units of the indicators and transceiversremain switched on and.Stand-By OperationThe main difference between stand-by operation and radar operation is that, during stand-by operation,the transceiver is not transmitting and the antenna is not rotating. Therefore, the radar video is absent onthe PPI, and none of the functions that depend on the transceiver can be operated yet.During stand-by operation, the magnetron is kept at its operational temperature.1) If an display electronics unit is exposed to very low temperatures (around -15°C or less), it can happen that its computer does not start up.The screen of the associated monitor then remains dark, or becomes dark after a short time. In this case, the radar system must remainswitched on for about 30 minutes (in spite of the dark screen) so that the display electronics units will warm up. If the radar system is thenswitched off and is switched on again after a waiting time of a few seconds, the computer will start up in the normal way.2) If a indicator has a POWER key, that indicator is switched off by prolonged pressing of this key.

In addition, the optional radar keyboard contains function keys and rotary knobs for directaccess to some functions that are needed frequently.☞The description of the operating procedure in these Operating Instructions normally refers to thetrackball and cursor. In Section 16, the operating procedure using the optional radar keyboard issummarised.Trackball and Cursor☞If you are already familiar with graphic man-machine inter-faces, you might be able to skip this section. Before doing so,you should have a look at the picture of the trackball besidethis text.Every operating step begins with the operator moving the cursorby means of the trackball to a particular place on the screen (to atext item, a numerical value, a symbol on the PPI or any desiredplace on the PPI). The next step is always the pressing of one ofthe trackball keys. In the following, this brief pressing of the key iscalled clicking. What then happens depends on the key used, theelement on which clicking took place, and the operating situation,and is the subject of these operating instructions.The cursor has a resting position to which it goes 30 seconds after the last operating process. Thisposition is situated beside the PPI, below the ACQ TGT area.If the cursor is situated outside the PPI, it is shaped like a hand or an arrow. Inside the PPI, it is a set ofcrosswires.The trackball has three keys with two different functions:DO KeyThe most important key is the middle (bigger) one. Almost all data areas react to this key, which performsthe functions that are needed the most frequently. In these operating instructions, it is called the "DOkey". In the following, "clicking" always means clicking with the DO key unless stated otherwise.MORE KeysThe two keys situated above the DO key are called "MORE keys" in these operating instructions. Theyhave identical functions 1) which are not needed as frequently. Not all elements which can be operated bymeans of the DO key react to the MORE key also, and if they do, then always with functions other thanthose of the DO key. Furthermore, by pressing of the MORE key, open menus (for menus, see below)can generally be closed without any results, and inputs can be aborted.Data AreasSome data areas are used only to display numerical values, names or stati.Example: Target data displayIn the case of most data areas, the operating procedure for the functions displayed there is likewiseperformed by clicking on the data area.1) There are two "MORE" keys so that both left-handed people and right-handed people can operate them ergonomically. Their functions areidentical.DO keyMORE key...for left-handed peoplefor right-handed people

Anumeric keyboard is then displayed. Input the correct value by means of that keyboard.And so on.Basically, the following is true:Coloured data areas indicate the activated state.In the case of functions which only have an "on" state and an "off" state, the "on" state is indicated by acoloured background. Example: IR on a grey background means that Interference Rejection is notswitched on; IR on a coloured background means that it is switched on.Areas that are flashing in colour signify that the corresponding function (e.g. ACQ TGT, ADJUST etc.)can be executed.Sensitive and Insensitive Data AreasData areas that can be operated can be insensitive in particular operational states, i.e. they cannot beoperated. For example, after clicking on the TUNE area, tuning can be performed on the master indicator,but not on a unit switched to act as a slave indicator. On the slave indicator, the TUNE area is displayedas being insensitive.☞Insensitive data area can be recognised from their low-contrast lettering or colouring.Before pressing of the DO or MORE key, sensitive data areas can be recognised from the blackborder which indicates the boundary of the sensitive area as soon as the cursor is situated in thisregion. Furthermore, the shape of the cursor changes to that of a hand.Operating Procedure for the Context MenusParticular data areas react to clicking by presenting a list of further possibilities - the "context menu", asit is called. If clicking takes place on one of the buttons contained in the context menu, the correspondingchange in the function takes place and the context menu disappears. In some cases, a further menu isopened. By clicking on the background area, the context menu can be switched off without any changeof function. ☞ 30 seconds after the last operating process, the context menu switches off automatically.The Function of the Menu ButtonsClicking on the buttons MENU to BRILL situated at bottom rightopens menus in which basic settings can be made and whichcontain other functions that are not needed very often. Most ofthese menus contain several levels, i.e. from the menu that hasbeen called up, a submenu can be called up, and so on. The higherlevels are listed in the menu header. There, you can return to thehigher level by clicking. Clicking on the highest level or on themenu button having the same name closes the menu.☞30 seconds after the last operating process on the menu, itswitches itself off automatically.☞The complete structure of the menu system is shown inSection 2.7.1) Data areas which produce an effect as a result of clicking are also called buttons in the following.ZOOMDOCKINGDEPTHMENUUTILITIES...HELPMENU2.DOUSER SETTINGS...USER SETTINGS1.DOBUZZERDGPS ONLYback: DOMENUUSER SETTINGSoff: DO

It appears in normal form as soon as the cursor is situated inthe area of the normal display of the OTHER button. By clicking of this button, a context menu with thepossible display-settings opens up.Input of Numerical ValuesIn some areas, numerical values can be entered. This is done with the aid of a virtual keyboard whichappears on the screen as soon as clicking is performed on an area of this kind. With the MORE key, theinput can be aborted without any change occurring.It is possible to choose between the input of a new value and the changing of the existing value. Anexception to this rule is the input of geographical coordinates, for which different algorithms are appli-cable.Entering of a New Value1.

Marking of a list element is done byclicking.If the list contains more entries than can be simultaneouslydisplayed, it can be scrolled line-by-line by means of the and buttons and from page to page by means ofthe and buttons, or by clicking below or above thescroll bar. Alternatively, click on the scroll bar and scroll bymeans of the trackball.Lists often indicate the files which are contained in a catalog.For example, the list shown here indicates the files of trackswhich are contained in the catalog ATLANTIC. Other catalogstoo can exist. By clicking on the button, the higher levelis displayed, i.e. in this example the list of the catalogs.☞Many lists also have a search function: If you click into the input field (at the top of the list), thevirtual keyboard which then opens up enables you to enter the number or the beginning of the nameof the list entry that is being searched for. If you click on ENTER, the list jumps to the entry that isbeing searched for.Special Features of the Lists of the System Maintenance ManagerThe System Maintenance Manager, a subroutine which was createdfor maintenance purposes and which the operator too needs fromtime to time (see page 133), uses a different form of list which issimilar to that of other operating systems. Important special featuresare:Catalogs and files of the various levels are contained in one and thesame display.Catalogs are designated by the symbol or , and files by thesymbol .A minus sign in the square in front of the catalog symbol shows thatthe catalog content is displayed. Clicking on a square with a plussign causes display of the catalog content.☞At the top of the list, the character "/" stands for the root (thebasic list).

Because, in the earth’s magnetic field, the ship itself acts as a magnet, such changesin the magnetic field can also be caused by changes in the ship’s course. The demagnetisation whichthen has to be performed on the shadow mask ("degaussing") can be performed manually.☞If this does not lead to success, the trouble might also be due to magnetic components or magnet-ised housings, which must then be removed from the environment of the monitor or degaussed.Manual DegaussingManual degaussing is performed by pressing of theDEGAUSS key on the monitor. On monitors which do nothave this key, a corresponding button is active: Click on the BRILL button and then on the DEGAUSS MANarea.Automatic DegaussingWith particular types of monitor, it also possible to set auto-matic degaussing. When the autodegauss function is switchedon, degaussing takes place at adjustable intervals of time, andalso when the course has been changed by a predefinedamount after the last degauss.Switching the Autodegauss Function On and OffClick on the BRILL button and then on the AUTO DEGAUSSarea.Setting the Autodegauss Function1.

(For thesetting procedure, see page 35.)-Path Prediction: In the small display ranges up to 1.5 NM, it ispossible to display the probable track along which own ship will travelif it maintains its existing rate of turn and its existing speed. Theprediction time can be set, see page 35.Radar Target SymbolsTargets being tracked on the EPA radar or ARPA radar are displayed inall display ranges as circular symbol 1). The following elements can beprovided for them:-Speed vector: The direction of the vector corresponds to the existingcourse of the target, and the length corresponds to the existing speedof the target. Together with the speed vectors of the own shipsymbol, the display of the speed vector can be switched on and off.The length of the vector is computed from the distance travelled bythe vessel in the "vector time", as it is called. The vector time can beadjusted.☞In the case of the manual plotting aid (EPA radar), the vector iscomputed from the last two (manual) plots. Therefore, particularcare is required when plotting on the EPA radar: if the targetbeing plotted changes its course or speed between two plots,the vector displayed does not correspond to the actual vector.-Past position plot: In the case of the ARPA radar, past position plots can be displayedfor the targets. The settings for these plots are made jointly withthose of own ship’s past position plot. They have four time markersat the most, which are set simultaneously on all past position plots.In the case of the EPA radar, the last four plots are joined up by aline.

This correction is described on page 62.☞Rotation of the entire video relative to the map indicates that the heading value is incorrect. Thecause of this might be a faulty compass, or else non-synchronous transfer of the course (for synchro-nisation of the course transfer, see page 57). However, errors of this kind also occur also if thecompass does not perform a speed error correction or no dynamic correction; these faults shouldthen be corrected in the compass system, if possible.1) If symbols of the User Chart objects or the symbols of the map are displaced relative to their radar echoes of these targets, it must beconsidered whether the positions of these symbols have been entered incorrectly.MAP1.DOOUTLINESYMBOLS2.DOOUTLINEPAPER CHARTSIMPLIFIEDMAPMAPEDIT MAP...VISIBLE

On themaster indicator, the radar is operated completely, i.e. both the transmitter side and the receiver side.Any radar indicator can also be switched to act as a slave of any transceiver that is operating. On theslave indicator, most of the functions on the reception side can be set independently of the master 1).Switch-On of Radar Operation DANGER:At the instant of switch-on of the radar function, the antenna begins torotate and the emission of high frequency radiation 2) is started. In thecase of multiple installations, it can also happen that, instead of theexpected antenna, a different one begins to rotate. Therefore, it must beensured beforehand that the antennas can rotate freely and that there isnobody present close to the antenna turning circles.The radar transceiver selected last is switched to radar operation byclicking into the transceiver area and then clicking on the transceiverdesignation that is displayed.If the selected transceiver was already running in radar operationmode, the result is that the indicator being operated becomes theslave indicator. 3)1) Tuning, sea clutter suppression, pulse length (and also the antenna revolution rate) are defined only on the master indicator.2) For the danger posed by high frequency radiation, see page 4.3) A slave indicator is marked as such by the entry SLAVE behind the TUNE area.1(X) ON1.DO2.DOTX/ RX STBY --

To prevent blurring of the video, the mode "TM Mode" and "North-Up" or "Course-Up" should beswitched on.2. To reduce the risk of loss of target, the CLEAN SWEEP function must be switched off. The risk ofloss of target is also increased by fast course-manoeuvres performed by own vessel.3. Target tracking must already begin at long range. In this connection, it must be noted that the targetdata are correspondingly less accurate - see Distortions of the Radar Video on page 108.4.5 Radar Setting for the Display of RACON CodesThe code of Racons consists of a radially arranged dash-dot code which begins in the radar video a shortdistance behind the beacon position. By means of different codes described in the Lists of Lights, theapproach points equipped with Racons can be clearly identified.Most Racons transmit in the X-Band, but there are some Racons installed which transmit in the S-Band.The majority of Racons change their transmission frequency slowly throughout the entire frequency band,and so they are not received in every revolution of the antenna.For the setting of the radar, the same basic principles are applicable as for SART detection.4.6 Radar Setting for SART Detection (X-Band only)The information needed for reliable detection of SART’s is described in IMO Circular 161. The content ofthat paper is reproduced on the following pages.4.7 Suppression of the Synthetics and VideoSuppression of Synthetics So that a video signal which has a synthetic image (e.g. a targetsymbol) superimposed on it on the PPI can be assessed more satis-factorily, the display of the entire synthetics can be suppressed.

Therefore, the setting described here is not necessary.ANNEXOPERATION OF MARINE RADAR FOR SART DETECTIONWARNING: A SART will only respond to an X-Band (3 cm) radar. It will not be seen on an S-Band (10 cm) radar. Introduction l. A Search and Rescue Transponder (SART) may be triggered by any X-Band (3 cm) radar within a range of approximately 8 n.miles. Each radar pulse received causes it to transmit a response which is swept repetitively across the complete radar frequency band. When interrogated, it first sweeps rapidly (0.4 µsec) through the band before beginning a relatively slow sweep (7.5 µsec) through the band back to the starting frequency. This process is repeated for a total of twelve complete cycles. At some point in each sweep, the SART frequency will match that of the interrogating radar and be within the pass band of the radar receiver. If the SART is within range, the frequency match during each of the 12 slow sweeps will produce a response on the radar display, thus a line of 12 dots equally spaced by about 0.64 n.miles will be shown. 2. When the range to the SART is reduced to about 1 n.mile, the radar display may show also the 12 responses generated during the fast sweeps. These additional dot responses, which also are equally spaced by 0.64 n.miles, will be interspersed with the original line of 12 dots. They will appear slightly weaker and smaller than the original dots. Radar Range Scale 3. When looking for a SART it is preferable to use either the 6 or 12 n.mile range scale. This is because the total displayed length of the SART response of 12 (or 24) dots may extend approximately 9.5 n.miles beyond the position of the SART and it is necessary to see a number of response dots to distinguish the SART from other responses. SART Range Errors 4. When responses from only the 12 low frequency sweeps are visible (when the SART is at a range greater than about 1 n.mile), the position at which the first dot is displayed may be as much as 0.64 n.mile beyond the true position of the SART. When the range closes so that the fast sweep responses are seen also, the first of these will be no more than 150 metres beyond the true position. Radar Bandwidth 5. This is normally matched to the radar pulse length and is usually switched with the range scale and the associated pulse length. Narrow bandwidths of 3-5 MHz are used with long pulses on long range scales and wide bandwidths of 10-25 MHz with short pulses on short ranges. 6. A radar bandwidth of less than 5 MHz will attenuate the SART signal slightly, so it is preferable to use a medium bandwidth to ensure optimum detection of the SART. The Radar Operating Manual should be consulted about the particular radar parameters and bandwidth selection.

As the SART is approached, side lobes from the radar antenna may show the SART responses as a series of arcs or concentric rings. These can be removed by the use of the anti-clutter sea control although it may be operationally useful to observe the side lobes as they may be easier to detect in clutter conditions and also they will confirm that the SART is near to own ship. Detuning the Radar 8. To increase the visibility of the SART in clutter conditions, the radar may be detuned to reduce the clutter without reducing the SART response. Radars with automatic frequency control may not permit manual detune of the equipment. Care should be taken in operating the radar in the detuned condition as other wanted navigational and anti-colli-sion information may be removed. The tuning should be returned to normal operation as soon as possible. Gain 9. For maximum range SART detection the normal gain setting for long range detection should be used i.e., with a light background noise speckle visible. Anti-Clutter Sea Control 10. For optimum range SART detection this control should be set to the minimum. Care should be exercised as wanted targets in sea clutter may be obscured. Note also that in clutter conditions the first few dots of the SART response may not be detectable, irrespec-tive of the setting of the anti-clutter sea control. In this case, the position of the SART may be estimated by measuring 9.5 n.miles from the furthest dot back towards own ship. 11. Some sets have automatic/manual anti-clutter sea control facilities. Because the way in which the automatic sea control functions may vary from one radar manufacturer to another, the operator is advised to use manual control initially until the SART has been detected. The effect of the auto sea control on the SART response can then be compared with manual control. Anti-Clutter Rain Control 12. This should be used normally (i.e. to break up areas of rain) when trying to detect a SART response which, being a series of dots, is not affected by the action of the anti-clutter rain circuitry. Note that Racon responses, which are often in the form of a long flash, will be affected by the use of this control. 13. Some sets have automatic/manual anti-clutter rain control facilities. Because the way in which the automatic rain control functions may vary from one radar manufacturer to another, the operator is advised to use manual control initially until the SART has been detected. The effect of the auto rain control on the SART response can then be compared with manual control. Note: The automatic rain and sea clutter controls may be combined in a single ’auto-clutter’ control, in which case the operator is advised to use the manual controls initially until the SART has been detected, before assessing the effect of auto.

Constant errors in the transferred position can be compensated manually.General Remarks about Position DataOn the radar, it is basically necessary to distinguish between the following positions:1. System position: The display is shown in the position display when the cursor is situated outsidethe PPI. "System position" is normally defined as a position in the forward part of the ship - usuallythe location of the transducer of the DOLOG or of another installed log.2. Reference position for bearings: All displays relating to own position (own ship symbol, VRM/EBL,range/bearing of the cursor position, CPA/TCPA) refer to the antenna position of the radar that isbeing operated. This is made clear in the Position Display by the entry REF RADAR.☞There is no LAT/LON display of this position, but in the small display-ranges the LAT/LONvalues can be read off as the cursor position if the cursor is moved to the radar origin.3. Cursor position: The display is shown in the position display when the cursor is situated within thePPI. This display indicates the absolute geographical position.All LAT/LON values are based on the geodetic datum "WGS 84".☞Important: Only position receivers may be connected to the radar system that output the positionvalues in the geographical reference system WGS 84 via an interface as per IEC 61162-1 1).Display of the Position Data UsedIn the Position Display, the position data used in the systemare displayed:-Behind POS: the selected position sensor.-Behind LAT and LON: the system position.-Behind COG and SOG: the values of course and speedover ground that are transferred from the selected speedsensor.-Behind ADJUST: the value of the manual position-correc-tion in metres N/S and W/E,☞If a manual position-correction has been entered, the LATand LON values have a yellow background.1) IEC 61162-1 largely corresponds to NMEA 0183 Version 2.30 of 1st March 1998.POSLATLONCOGSOG55:35. 285 N008:36.437 W51.6 °18.3 ktGPS1ADJUST–– – –– –– – ––REFRADAR

The position error is correctedmanually by making the video of a fixed target coincide with its map symbol:1. Switch on a sufficiently small radar range.2. Click on the ADJUST button. By flashing, the button indi-cates that the cursor in the PPI now has a special func-tion.3. Click on a map symbol whose radar echo is clearly recog-nisable and identifiable.If the cursor is now moved, the distances of the cursorposition from the clicked symbol in the north/south andeast/west directions are displayed behind the ADJUSTbutton.4. Click on the radar echo of the map symbol on which you have clicked. As a result, the correctionvalues displayed behind the ADJUST button (= position offset) take effect and is added to the posi-tion of the sensor.☞The entire track and map synthetics move by an amount equal to the position offset. The posi-tion offset that is entered continues to be displayed behind ADJUST. 1)☞In this way, each direction can be corrected by up to 999 m. 1)5. Check that the other symbols of the map too now coincide as well as possible with their radarechoes. If necessary, processes 2 to 4 can be repeated on the basis of the position offset that existsat that time.☞If the entire video has a rotational displacement relative to the map, this indicates that there isprobably a compass error. Either the synchronisation with the compass system is inadequate(this must then be corrected – see page 57) or the compass system itself has a static ordynamic course error. This should, if possible, be corrected in the compass system.Deleting the Position OffsetThe position offset is deleted automatically as soon as adifferent position-sensor is selected.The position offset is deleted manually by clicking on theADJUST button by means of the MORE key and by thenclicking RESET ADJUST by means of the DO key.1) If the EP position is being used, the position data are modified by an amount equal to the position offset.

For automatic targetacquisition, there are two combined acquisition and surveillance zones 1) available. Acquired targets aretracked automatically.In the case of manual target acquisition, the target video is marked manually, and is thus initiallyprovided with the dotted square . The radar then checks during the next three revolutions of theantenna to determine whether the echo occurs twice at this position. If it does, this target is tracked auto-matically by the radar. If it does not, the radar does not recognise any target at this position, and theLOST TGT alarm occurs. The target just acquired but lost is marked with the flashing symbol .In the case of automatic target acquisition, the radar evaluates all radar echoes appearing in the acqui-sition/guard zones. If the echo appears at a certain position at least six times during ten revolutions ofthe antenna, it is evaluated as a radar target.If the echoes do not belong to a target already being tracked, the position is treated as an acquired targetand is marked with the flashing symbol . The alarm TARGET IN AZ appears, or - if the target wasalready being tracked when it entered the acquisition/guard zone - the alarm TARGET IN GZ appears.After acknowledgement of the alarm, the automatic target tracking begins.☞Automatic target acquisition is switched on and off together with the display of the acquisition/guardzone - see page 69.☞If there are already 50 targets being tracked and another target is then acquired, the AZ OVER-FLOW alarm appears. In this case, at least one non-critical target must first be deleted.When the automatic tracking begins, the radar determines the movement of the target.- If the absolute speed determined for the target is less than 1.5 κν, the target is classed as a fixedtarget; the symbol appears.- If the speed of the target exceeds 1.5 kt, it is classed as a moving target and is marked with thesymbol .- If the functions are switched on, also the speed vector is now displayed, the computation of collisionrisks is performed continuously, and the past position plot is built up.The target is now tracked automatically until- it is deleted manually or- it is lost because, during five revolutions of the antenna, no correlation of the video can be found bythe radar, or the detection probability falls below 50%, or- it leaves the target tracking range of 20 NM.If a target is lost, a LOST TGT alarm appears and the lost target is marked accordingly.☞The number of targets being tracked should be kept as small as possible; the presence of too manytargets causes confusion on the screen and distracts the operator’s attention from what is reallyimportant.Targets that are no longer relevant should be deleted in order to minimise the number of LOST TGTalarms caused by targets leaving the radar range.☞In the case of tracked targets entering a clutter area (rain or sea clutter), a "target swap" might occur;parts of the rain front are suddenly being "tracked". A target swap can also occur if there are targetssituated close together or close to land. In the case of target swaps, no warning is given.WARNING:Automatic target acquisition and tracking are ensured only if the radarvideo is OK, i.e. if it is adjusted in the same way as would also be neces-sary for visual evaluation.1) Called acquisition/guard zone in the following

In this process, a planned manoeuvre ofown ship is simulated and the effect of this manoeuvre on the targets being tracked is checked in agraphic display.The trial manoeuvre can be specified by- simulation of a course change, including the radius to be used by the ship and- the period of time up until the beginning of the simulated manoeuvre (the delay) and by- simulation of a speed change at the instant of the manoeuvre.There are two display-modes available:- At the instant when the trial manoeuvre function is switched on, a switch-over to relative displaymode takes place. This display mode is used for fast setting of the necessary course-change, of thedelay and of the speed change.- In true display mode, the manoeuvre radius that can then be set and the acceleration 1) for the setspeed-changes are taken into account additionally.☞The target tracking and the automatic acquisition of targets are not interrupted during the executionof a trial manoeuvre.10.2 Switch-On of the Trial Manoeuvre DisplayClick on the buttons MENU, UTILITIES and TRIALMANOEUVRE one after the other.

A manoeuvre must be simulated which avoids this constant bearing while at the same timefulfilling other conditions (e.g. keeping within the channel, avoiding shallow water, etc.).A suitable vector-length should be set.Simulating a Course ManoeuvreClick on the CSE area, set the trackball to the desired coursechange, and press the DO key for the second time.☞Because of the relative display mode, the target vectors arerotated by the simulated course-change.Display before switch-on of the trial manoeuvre (with true vector display)Display after switch-on of the trial manoeuvre (the target on the right is on a collision course)Trails remain unchangedTargets get relative vectorsIdentification marking of trial manoeuvre displayPast position plots are displayed in relative modeCSE1.DO10°3.DO2.

If there is a CHARTPILOT, it can and should be used for this work.☞On the CHARTPILOT, e.g. on the basis of the Electronic Chart, tracks can be edited much moreconveniently and also - thanks to the test possibilities available there - with greater nautical safety.Pre-planned Tracks are accommodated in catalogs, and can be identified within the catalog by meansof a track number and a track name. Catalogs can be created and also - if necessary - deleted. Trackscan be generated (edited), and existing tracks can have their contents altered, or can be assigned toother catalogs, or can be deleted.☞If there is a CHARTPILOT, it must always be in the switched-on state when work on tracks is beingdone on the radar indicator, since the track data are physically stored in the CHARTPILOT.☞If there is no CHARTPILOT in the system and if the tracks are to be used on several radar indicators,the tracks - including the catalogs - must be transferred to the other radar indicators; see page 143.The menus that are needed in connection with the editing of the tracks are opened from the TRACKmenu which is opened by clicking on the TRACK button.The following description is based on this menu.LOAD List- Loading of the track that is to be altered or copied- Determining the track number for new tracksEDIT List and EDIT Menu- Editing (generating and changing) of tracks- Creating catalogs- Assigning tracks to other catalogsDELETE List- Deletion of tracks- Deletion of catalogsTRACKTRACKCLEAR...LOAD...SYSTEM TRACKDELETE...EDIT...VISIBILITY...

For example, all waypoints can first be inserted graphically; then, in thesecond step, the position is set alphanumerically to the precise value if necessary. (This procedure isdescribed in the following.) WARNING:Naturally, the inserting and moving of the waypoints can also beperformed generally by means of alphanumerical inputs. If a track lyingoutside the radar range is to be edited while the ship is sailing, thegraphical methods are usually not appropriate.1) Great circle approximation: If the Sailing Mode GREAT CIRCLE has been entered at a waypoint on the Pre-planned Track and thedistance from the next waypoint is larger than 20 NM, this track section is automatically approximated to a great circle. For this purpose,the program divides this track section into subsections, each having a length of 10 NM, and places the ends of these subsections on thegreat circle. RHUMB LINE TO WAYPOINTWPT1NEW1.

On the other hand, high coastlines and mountainous regions furtherinland are recognised at a very early stage.- In the coastal approaches, the tide rip lines and surf areas are displayed similarly to coastlines.However, this rather irritating display can be a valuable orientation aid for the coastal navigator.Antenna Height Above Water SurfaceTheoretically Achievable Radar Rangeat a Target Height of1 m 3 m 10 m 30 m 100 m 300 m 1000 m8 m 9 NM 12 NM 13 NM 18 NM 28 NM 44 NM 76 NM15 m 11 NM 13 NM 16 NM 21 NM 31 NM 47 NM 79 NM30 m 12 NM 16 NM 19 NM 13 NM 34 NM 50 NM 82 NM
RADARPILOT / CHARTRADARED 3038 G 232 / 01 (2002-06)Operating Instructions15 Evaluation of the Radar Video15.2 Distortions of the Radar Video b_r1_e33.fm / 21.06.02108- The reflections of radar waves from ice depend largely on the surface structure of the areas illumi-nated by the radar. Rough and jagged surfaces produce good echo displays, whereas smoothlyfrozen-over surfaces, rounded surfaces and surfaces at an oblique angle generally reflect the trans-mitted pulses away from the ship. Thus, for example, the echo display of large icebergs can fluctuateextremely severely, depending on the existing aspect.- The detection of low-lying blocks of ice (growlers) probably presents the greatest uncertainty:WARNING:Even if the anticlutter facilities are operated carefully, the echoes fromgrowlers can no longer be definitely identified if moderate disturbancesfrom the sea surface are present.15.2 Distortions of the Radar VideoBecause of the physical characteristics of the radar principle used, the video displayed does not corre-spond exactly to the position and form of the reflecting target. A distinction must be drawn between radialdistortions (in the direction of the target) and azimuthal distortions (perpendicular to the target direction)- see figure on next page.Radial DistortionsRadial distortions in the direction of transmission are caused by the fact that a target reflects the trans-mitted pulse for as long as the pulse is moving past the target 1). Thus, radial lengthening depending onthe pulse duration occurs on the screen. In the case of range measurements, it must be noted that theecho edge facing own ship corresponds to the true front edge of the target.If there are several targets behind one another with small (radial) distances between them, they areshown separately on the screen if, and only if, their distance apart is so large that the radial lengthenedechoes do not overlap.Azimuthal DistortionsAzimuthal distortions are caused by the width of the beam radiated by the antenna. A point targetappears wider the further away it is. At a distance of 10 NM with a horizontal antenna-beamwidth of 1.5°,an individual target is displayed as an arc with a length of 480 m. Because of this effect, individual targetssituated beside one another can merge to form a single target.Not only individual targets but also small spits of land aligned in the radial direction appear wider thanthey really are, and radially oriented entrances appear narrower than in reality.☞As a result of azimuthal distortions and/or changes in the target position, the radar centroid of atarget can change, especially at short range. In the case of a target being tracked, this can lead toa sudden change in the displayed vector.In addition to these undesirable azimuthal distortions, targets can also be deliberately widened withincreasing distance, so that narrow, close-range targets too can be seen clearly. This function is used inthe Clean Sweep Modes MEDIUM and OPEN SEA. It ensures that the azimuthal distortion correspondsto the radial distortion over a wide range of distances. Because the radial distortion depends on the pulselength, when Target Enhancement is switched on the targets are displayed particularly large by the selec-tion of Long Pulse.1) The pulse length setting LP thus generates larger radial distortions than SP.

Theshorter-wave X-band radar (with a wavelength of 3 cm) is therefore generally impaired more severely bymeteorological influences than is the longer-wave S-band radar (10 cm wavelength).X-Band RadarEven in the X-band radar, fog causes practically no disturbances, whereas precipitations with larger drop-lets attenuate the transmitted radar pulses and thus weaken to a greater or lesser extent the display oftargets situated behind extensive areas of precipitation. Furthermore, throughout their entire extent, rain,snow and hail reflect part of the transmitted energy and produce echoes in the form of milky areas in theradar video (backscatter).Because of the very different signal structures of useful targets and rain areas, rain clutter can be notice-ably reduced by the rain clutter suppression function.Two adjacent targets merge to form one radar echo (azimuthal distortion)Radial distortionAzimuthal distortionRadar videoActual size of the targetTwo targets behind one another merge to form one radar echo (radial distortion)Width of the beam radi-ated by the antennaA spit of land is displayed widerAn entrance is displayed narrower or not at allLand contourRadar video

Useful targets might be completely concealed.S-Band RadarThe S-band radar „sees“ through the rain with practically no attenuation losses, and even detects targetsin and behind a rain area. The echo signals caused by the rain are only displayed weakly. Similar behav-iour is exhibited in the case of hail and snow.In this case too, unusually heavy rain can reduce the achievable ranges and thus cause sudden loss oftargets.Reflections from the Sea SurfaceClutter echoes from the surface of the sea can be recognised from the fact that a mostly circular buteccentric area displaced in the wind direction and having non-uniform brightness is formed around theown ship symbol (sea clutter). These echoes make targets in this region more difficult to detect and track,but they have no effect on the display of targets situated behind the reflection zone.These disturbances are more severe in the case of a radar antenna mounted high up than for onemounted lower down. The area covered by these disturbances increases with increasing sea state, andis increased particularly by steeper waves.With the aid of the sea clutter suppression function, the disturbance echoes described above can bereduced. However, since this also weakens the display of targets and because the target might not bedisplayed with every revolution of the antenna, maximum concentration by the observer is necessary. Inthe case of automatic target tracking, the sea clutter suppression function can lead to the loss of targetsdue to the attenuation of the signals. Disturbances Caused by Other RadarsTransmissions from other radars working in the same electrical frequency band occur as disturbances inthe form of small points or dashes. These move in rapid succession along straight or curved tracks to thecentre of the screen or in the opposite direction.These disturbances appear particularly clearly at the larger range settings, but they impede radar obser-vation to an insignificant extent only. They can be almost completely eliminated by means of the Inter-ference rejection function.False or Indirect Echo DisplaysFalse or indirect echo displays ("ghost echoes") occur as a result of reflection of the radar pulses by theship's own superstructures of all kinds and by nearby objects that reflect very well. Therefore, a typicalfeature of these echoes is that they appear at the bearing of the reflecting surface, regardless of the realposition of the targets.When two ships pass one another on parallel courses, multiple echoes can often be observed as a resultof pulses reflected to and from several times between the ships' sides. On the screen, a series of equis-paced echo displays of decreasing intensity appears at the bearing of the object.Sectors of Reduced Radar VisibilitySectors of reduced radar visibility occur as a result of own ship's superstructures which impair andprevent rectilinear propagation of the radar pulses. Theoretical determination of the geometry of thesesectors and of their influence on the display of targets is possible to an inadequate extent only. An effec-tive practical method consists of determining the shadow sectors against the background of disturbancesignals from the sea surface (sea clutter).

The resulting ghost echoes canoccur at any position. Since the position of ghost echoes depends on the pulse repetition frequency,ghost echoes can be recognised as such by switching over the pulse length on the master radar.☞Every pulse length has a particular pulse repetition frequency assigned to it; therefore, when thepulse length is changed, the repetition frequency changes too.15.4 Sector BlankingIf the radar function is suppressed in particular sectors (because parts of own ship’s superstructure donot allow the radar to function in these directions), these sectors are indicated on the PPI near thecompass scale.Display of Sector Blanking (Example)Blanking sector

Thisalarm is displayed in the alarm list which opens automatically in theMultidisplay.Many alarms are supplemented by an acoustic signal - see Section 18.Behaviour when an Alarm Occurs1. Switch off the acoustic signal (if there is one) as follows:In the alarm list, click on the ACK (= acknowledge) button oron the coloured horn symbol. As a result, the acoustic signal isswitched off on the radar indicator that is being operated.2. Immediately obtain information about the causes of the alarm,about the system status and about possible system reac-tions, and - if necessary - immediately perform all necessaryactions for the avoidance of possible danger.3. Removing the cause of the alarm: If the alarm has occurred due to a cause that can be removed,that cause must be removed as quickly as possible; see also Section 29. Many alarms disappear when the cause disappears. Acknowledgement is then unnecessary.4. The alarm must be acknowledged if the situation allows orrequires such acknowledgement: In the alarm list, press the ACK button or click on the colouredhorn signal. As a result, the alarm which is marked in colour isusually acknowledged, i.e. it is removed from the alarm list. Asa result of this, alarms which have also been distributed toother items of equipment within the system are acknowledgedthere too. If some other alarm is marked, the alarm which is tobe acknowledged must be marked beforehand by clicking. 1).If alarms are also distributed to other items of equipment withinthe system, or if the system deviates from the behaviourdescribed above, e.g.- if the alarm cannot be acknowledged at all or throughout the entire system, or- if acknowledgement causes something to be initiated or enabled, or- if an acknowledged alarm is repeated for as long as the cause of the alarm continues to exist,1) If the display of the list has been switched off even although an alarm that can be acknowledged has not been acknowledged, that alarmis automatically marked as soon as the list is opened again.

If the environment is particularlydusty, it should be done more frequently, and if the air contains very little dust, it can be done lessfrequently.1. Taking out the filter pad: It is situated on the top of the display electronics unit, and can be grippedand pulled out by its front left-hand corner without unscrewing the covering cap. ☞If the display electronics unit is installed in the console, the hinged cover situated below theoperating unit must first be opened.2. Cleaning the filter pad: Cleaning can be done by washing in soapy water, or by blowing the dustout with compressed air, or - depending on the degree of dirtiness - simply by beating the dust out.3. Inserting the filter pad: When inserting the filter pad, which must have been dried (if necessary, byjolting it thoroughly to get the water out of it), make certain that it is seated properly.Test of the Transmission Power and Receiver Sensitivity of the Radar TransceiverThe test described in Section 21 should be performed at the beginning of every sea voyage, and once aweek during the voyage.

The signal received by this auxiliary antenna is processed andproduces a "good/bad" display. This check thus covers the entire RF transmitting branch of the trans-ceiver, including the magnetron (which is subject to natural aging), the waveguide and the antenna.The receiver sensitivity is checked by inputting a signal directly at the receiver input, which leads to a"good" display if, and only if, the amplification is adequate.Performing the TestIMPORTANT:During the test, the radar cannot be used for navigation.1. Perform tuning as described in Section 4.2. Click on the buttons MENU, UTILITIES and PERFORMANCEMONITOR one after the other.

If this external information is missing, the date and time with which the internal clock of therelevant display electronics unit’s computer is running (computer time) are displayed instead.So that the displayed time does not change if the sensor fails, a check should occasionally be made onall radar indicators to make certain that the computer times are in agreement with UTC. If necessary, thecomputer times must be corrected.Checking the Computer Time1. Click on the index card Tools.2. Click on Date & Time.3. System time and date are displayed under Set Time and Set Date.Changing the Computer Time1. Under Set Time or Set Date, click into the numerical areas of the value that is to be changed.2.

Ifnecessary, map data can also be deleted. It is recommended that the most recent set of data should besaved on diskette.☞The most recent set of data should be available on all radar indicators (unless there are particularreasons opposing this). One of the advantages of this is that it prevents loss of the most recent data,which would occur if map data on an indicator containing old data were edited and if the map datawere then distributed.File Structure of the Map DataFor the division of the map data into individual files, the earth’s surface is divided up into areas measuring3° by 3°. All symbols and lines situated in such an area are grouped within a file.☞Lines going beyond one of these boundaries are cut at the boundary during the process of divisioninto files, and are joined together again when the files are called up for the purpose of display orprocessing.Furthermore, the earth's surface is divided up into areas measuring 15° by 15°. All map files belongingto such an area are grouped within a catalog.For the designation of the files and catalogs, the south-west corner of the area is used in all cases;files have the file extension .D03, and catalogs have the extension .D15:- The file S39E144.D03 contains all map data situated in the area bounded by the 39th and 36thsouthern lines of latitude and by the 144th and 147th eastern lines of longitude.- The catalog N15W075.D15 contains all map files of the data that are situated in the area boundedby the 15th and 30th northern lines of latitude and by the 75th and 60th western lines of longitude.☞Just as a map file and the catalog are automatically created as soon as a symbol or line is editedfor the defined area, so are the file and (if applicable) the catalog deleted again as soon as thereare no longer any symbols and lines (or parts of lines) present in the area defined for the file andcatalog.Transferring Map Files to Other Radar Indicators1. Click on the index card Tools.2. Click on Map Transfer, then on Transmit.3. Click on the field under Destination. Mark the indicator to which the data are to be transferred, orAll indicators if the data are to be transferred to all installed radar indicators.☞The indicator designations listed here are identical to those entered in the header bar of theSystem Maintenance Manager. If in doubt, switch on the System Maintenance Manager of thedestination unit, and have a look.4. In the Files in Source list, mark the catalog or file that is to be transferred. If all files are to be trans-ferred, mark the list entry at the top, designated by "/". By clicking on the Add >> button, put themarked files and catalogs into the Files to Transfer list.5. Repeat procedure 4 for other files/catalogs that are to be transferred.☞If too many files/catalogs have been entered by mistake, the content of the Files to Transferlist can be deleted and procedure 4 can be repeated.6. When all files/catalogs to be transferred have been entered, start the transfer by clicking on theTransfer button.
