Ú Note:
This procedure must be performed with only one radar
on the network, and only applies where a network combines an
older MFD with other MFDs.
Adjust antenna height
Set the radar scanner height relative to the water surface. The Radar
uses this value to calculate the correct STC settings.
Adjust range offset
(Pulse Radar only)
The radar sweep should commence at your vessel (a radar range of
zero). You may need to adjust the radar range offset to achieve this.
If this is set incorrectly, a large dark circle in the center of the sweep
might occur. You might notice straight objects such as straight sea
walls or piers having curves or an indentation. Objects close to your
vessel may appear pulled in or pushed out.
Adjust the range offset as below when the vessel is about 45 to 90
m (50 to 100 yards) from a straight-walled jetty or similar feature
that produces a straight line echo on the display.
•
Point the boat towards the jetty
•
Adjust the gain setting until a reasonably good image of the jetty
echo is displayed
X
Adjust bearing alignment
This is to align the heading marker on the screen with the center
line of the vessel. This will compensate for any slight misalignment
of the scanner during installation. Any inaccuracy will be evident
when using MARPA or chart overlay.
