How to check radar performance
The range scale is automatically set to 24 NM. The radar screen will show arcs. You
can set the number of arcs. If the radar transmitter and receiver are in good working
order in as much as the original state when the monitor was turned on, the innermost
arc should appear between 8.0 NM and 19.8 NM. The performance monitor can ob-
serve a total of 10 dB loss in the transmitter and receiver.
Note: The lengths and location of the arcs may change with the direction in which the
antenna unit is installed. Judge the strength of the echo that appears within 60° from
arc location to confirm if the radar is working properly or not.
