Controls For Ais - Furuno FAR-1513-BB Operator's Manual

4. AIS OPERATION
There can be several hundreds or several thousands of AIS targets, and of those only
a few will be significant for your ship. To remove unnecessary AIS targets from the radar
display, the feature "activated and sleeping AIS targets" is available. Initially any new
AIS target received by an AIS transponder is not activated (="sleeping"). Such sleeping
targets are shown with a small triangle. The operator can pick any AIS target and
change it from sleeping to activated. Activated AIS targets are shown with a large trian-
gle with speed vector, headline, ROT indicator, etc. Further, the operator can pick acti-
vated AIS targets and change their status to sleeping.
An indication of AIS target activated capacity limit is given well before it is reached.
When 95% of 40 targets are activated, the Alert 190 "TARGET CAPACITY (ACTIVE AIS
95%)" appears. When 40 targets are activated, the Alert 190 "TARGET CAPACITY (AC-
TIVE AIS FULL)" appears.
An indication of AIS target display capacity limit is given well before it is reached. When
95% of 300 targets are displayed, the Alert 190 "TARGET CAPACITY (AIS DISPLAY
95%)" appears. When 300 targets are displayed, the Alert 190 "TARGET CAPACITY
(AIS DISPLAY FULL)" appears.
An indication of AIS target processing capacity limit is given well before it is reached.
The Alert 190 "TARGET CAPACITY (AIS CAPACITY FULL)" appears when 1,000 tar-
gets are in the storage buffer.
This radar generates AIS-related alerts. These are Alert 191 "CPA/TCPA (AIS COLLI-
SION" and Alert 193 "LOST TARGET (AIS TARGET LOST)". Only activated AIS targets
generate alerts. The operator can activate or sleep AIS target alerts as desired. The fea-
ture "activated and sleeping AIS targets" is very effective for focusing on only those AIS
targets that need supervision. This radar further eases the task of the operator by auto-
matically changing non-activated targets to activated targets, if their CPA and TCPA are
within a preset limit.
