PREFACE Thank you very much for purchasing the JRC marine radar equipment, JMA-3910-4/6 and JMA-3925-6/7/9. This equipment is a marine radar equipment designed to obtain safe operation of marine ships. The equipment consists of a radar signal transceiver unit, a CRT display unit and a scanner unit as its main units.
Before Operation Pictorial Indication Various pictorial indications are included in this manual and are shown on these equipment so that you can operate them safely and correctly and prevent any danger to you and / or to other persons and any damage to your property during operation. Such indications and their meanings are as follows.
Cautions to be Used During Operation WARNING Do not touch the insides of the scanner unit, transceiver and display unit. Touching any high voltage area, you will get an electric shock. For maintenance, inspection and adjustment of internal parts of these equipment, consult with our sales office or distributor in your district.
NNNN NNNN 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.
NNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNN 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.
✩ When pulse is beating but breathing has stopped (1) Tilt the victim’s head back as far as this face looks back. (A pillow may be inserted under 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.
✩ When both pulse and breathing have stopped 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 minute).

h2(m) h1(m) D (nm) Height of radar scanner Line-of-sight range Height of target Fig. 5.2 When the height of own ship’s antenna is 10m, for example, a) When the radar line-of-sight range is 64nm, the height of a target to be observed on the radar screen have to be 660m or more.
5.2 ~ 5.4 Strength of Reflection from Target The strength of target echo returns depends on component materials and shape of the target as well as height and size of the target, and the echo returns from a high and large target is not always strong in general. In particular, coastal lines on the screen are affected by land forms, and, when a low land coastal line continues, only inland mountain echo returns are displayed on the screen.

[II] Influence of Side Lobe An ark with an broken line may appear in the same distance as the video by the scanner unit beam main lobe. Such false echo is relatively easier to be detected when the target is isolated (see Fig. 5.4). Fig.
Page 156
[V] Anomalous Propagation The maximum radar range depends on the heights of the antenna and target as explained in section “5.1 Radar Line-of-sight Range”. If duct occurs on the sea surface in certain atmospheric conditions, however, a transmitted beam of enery will be abnormally propagated and targets far away from the own ship may be detected.
Display of Radar Transponder SART (Search and 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.

Failure Check For semiconductor circuits, most troubles are considered to hardly occur without improper design, insufficient inspection, other external or artificial factors. Causes of most troubles are disconnection of high value resistor by humidity, defective variable resistor and imperfect contacts of buttons and relays. Since troubles may also be caused by defective parts, improper adjustment (mostly improper adjustment of the tuning) and insufficient service (mostly imperfect contact of cable), further inspections and adjustments will be effective by taking the above into account (refer to Table 7.2 Failure Check List).
