RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERATION How to Transmit After the power is turned on and the magnetron has warmed, [STBY TX] button "ST-BY" appears at the screen center, meaning the radar is ready to transmit radar pulses. You can transmit by pressing the STBY TX key on the Control Unit, or clicking the [STBY TX] button on the Status bar.
2. RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERATION 2.2.3 Manual tuning To tune the radar, start by setting the brilliance to a comfortable level, adjusting the gain until the background speckle just disappears, and selecting the 48 NM range. Then, do the following: 1.
2. RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERATION 2.3.2 How to change the pulse length 1. Click the [Pulse] button at the top of the InstantAccess bar™. 2. Click a pulse length. How to Adjust the Sensitivity The GAIN control (or [Gain] button) adjusts the sensitivity of the receiver. The proper setting is such that the background noise is just visible on the screen.
2. RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERATION 2.5.1 How to reduce sea clutter automatically Auto A/C SEA allows for fine-tuning of the A/C SEA circuit, within ±20 dB. Accordingly, with the bar reading set to 100, gain is not lowered to minimum as with manual A/C SEA on close-in ranges.
2. RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERATION How to Suppress Rain Clutter The vertical beam width of the antenna is designed to see surface targets even when the ship is rolling. However, by this design the unit will also detect rain clutter (rain, snow, or hail) in the same manner as normal targets.
2. RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERATION Interference Rejector Mutual radar interference may occur in the vicinity of an- other shipborne radar operating in the same frequency band. It is seen on the screen as a number of bright spikes either in irregular patterns or in the form of usual- ly curved spoke-like dotted lines extending from the cen- ter to the edge of the picture.
2. RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERATION Echo Averaging The echo averaging feature, which requires heading, position and speed data, effec- tively reduces sea clutter. Echoes received from stable targets such as ships appear on the screen at almost the same position every rotation of the antenna. On the other hand, unstable echoes such as sea clutter appear at random positions.
2. RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERATION 2.10 Noise Rejector White noise may show itself on the screen as random "speckles" spread over the en- tire radar image. This equipment reduces the white noise then improves the on-screen S/N ratio by processing the weighted moving average filter for the received echoes in the range direction.
2. RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERATION 2.11 Wiper The wiper feature automatically reduces the brilliance of unwanted weak echoes, such as noise, sea clutter and rain clutter, to clear the picture. There are two wiper settings, 1 and 2. The difference between 1 and 2 is that the brilliance is lowered more slowly in 2.

TARGET TRACKING (TT) About TT The TT tracks and plots the movement of up to 100 radar targets and fully complies with IMO standards for TT. The TT automatically tracks an automatically or manually acquired radar target and calculates its course and speed, indicating them with a vector. Since the data gener- ated by the TT depends on the radar targets selected, the radar must be optimally tuned for use with the TT, to ensure required targets will not be lost or unnecessary targets like sea returns and noise will not be acquired and tracked.
3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) How to Input Your Ship's Speed The TT requires own ship's speed and heading data. The speed can be STW, SOG, or echo-referenced speed (based on 3 max. stationary objects) taken from this radar. Manual input is also possible. For automatic or manual speed input, see section 1.16.
3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) If all reference targets are lost, the speed indication disappears. Select a different reference target if the currently selected one is lost. • When all tracked targets are deleted, the reference target mark is also deleted and the target-based speed becomes invalid.

3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) When the cursor is removed from the box the original positions of your ship and TTs are restored. If a maneuver is unsafe, change speed, course and delay until it is safe. The trial maneuver takes place with the letter "T" displayed at the bottom of the screen. The time appears at the top-right position on the display.
3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) 3. Acquire the simulated targets after the TT test is performed. The tracking state changes from unstable to stable and the vector appears. You can simulate the movement of each function with changing true/relative vector, stabilization through the water/over the ground, range or length of vector.
3.17 Criteria for Selecting Targets for Tracking The FURUNO TT video processor detects targets in midst of noise and discriminates radar echoes on the basis of their size. Target whose echo measurements are greater than those of the largest ship in range or tangential extent are usually land and are displayed only as normal radar video.
CPA and TCPA of the tracked targets change. Qualitative description of tracking error The FURUNO TT's accuracy complies with or exceeds IMO standards. Own ship maneuvers For slow turns there is no effect. For very high turning rates (greater than 150°/minute, depending on gyro), then all tracked targets revert to full accuracy.
Page 160
3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) Low gain Insufficient or low radar receiver gain will result in some targets not being acquired at long distance. The TT display will be missing on one or more targets that could only be visible if the radar sensitivity control (GAIN control) were increased. The setting of the correct radar receiver gain is not critical but the target should be on the radar PPI and be clearly visible and well defined.
AIS OPERATION An AIS transponder can be connected to this radar to overlay AIS targets on the radar display. The radar can store up to 2,000 AIS targets in its storage buffer. When this buffer becomes full of AIS targets, the Alert 533 (ALF format: 190,2) "AIS Target Ca- pacity 100%"...

6. CHART OVERVIEW What is ENC delivery? ENCs can be distributed as ENC delivery or SENC (C-MAP) delivery. Both deliveries can be used in this system. In ENC delivery, charts are distributed directly from source like PRIMAR, IC-ENC, JHA, etc. They are delivered onboard in ENC format (using S-57 and S-63) then the charts are installed into the system.
6. CHART OVERVIEW 6.1.2 Status bar The Status bar mainly provides for selection of display mode, chart type and IMO chart display setting. NAVI Button name Description Display mode Selects the display mode: [RADAR], [CHART for RADAR], [AMS for RA- DAR] or [CONNING for RADAR].
