Page 144: Additional Benefi Ts Of Fmcw Radar Are
FMCW = Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave The scanner transmits a ‘rising tone’ (Tx wave) with linearly increasing frequency. The wave propagates out from the transmitter retaining the frequency it had when it was transmitted. If it refl ects off an object, it will return to the receiver, still at the frequency it had when originally transmitted. -
Page 145: Radar System Overview
The RI11 interface box is used to connect to earlier NX series displays using a serial connection. A Y-cable may be used to add heading input for MARPA via NMEA0183. The 3G kit may be ordered with either interface box, however the Lowrance USA model (000- 10418-001) is not shipped with an RI10 or RI11 interface. -

To start the radar: From the radar screen select the Transmit button. RI10 heading source selection: The RI10 receives heading via SimNet or NMEA2000 network and transmits this data to the radar, where MARPA processing is performed. For Simrad installations with more than one SimNet heading source the RI10 will use the Simrad group source. -

Page 162: Maintenance
Maintenance Clean the radome using soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products. Do not use solvents such as gasoline, acetone, M.E.K etc. as this will damage the dome surface. After years of use the drive belt may have to be replaced. The transmitter in the Broadband Radar is solid state and will not require regular replacement, unlike the magnetron found in conventional pulse radar. -
