Training Simulator - Simrad R5000 Operator's Manual

Training simulator

The training function is used to train the operator on manual radar target acquisition, on
target selection and on the tracking procedures.
The function is activated from the menu.
When started the system replays a pre-loaded file, simulating a target with constant speed
and course approaching own vessel. The training target's speed is as per the pre-loaded file,
and it cannot be altered by the user. The CPA and TCPA depends on the simulated target's
speed and own vessel's speed.
A flashing S is shown on the lower part of the screen as long as the function is active to warn
that training simulation is running.
You can perform all tracking operations on the simulated target.
The CPA and TCPA of the training target is automatically tested by the system. Alerts are
raised in case of a malfunctioning of the tracking software:
• Training Tgt CPA Out of Range: if the difference between theoretical and target displayed
CPA is greater than 0.5NM
• Training Tgt TCPA Out of Range: if the difference between theoretical and target displayed
CPA is greater than 30sec
The radar will return to default operation as soon as the training option is turned off from the
menu.
