If you have a combined radar/chart display refer to the Chapter 5 and Chapter 6 for information on charting operations. You can use this chapter with the radar display set to simulator mode, or on the water after you have installed and set up your HSB Series Pathfinder Radar system.
Page 67: Range Control
The radar picture can be viewed at various scales. The shortest range scale gives a maximum range of to the top of the radar picture. The longest range scale gives a maximum range of between 24 and 72 nautical miles depending on your scanner.
Page 68: Determining Actual Radar Range
0.125 0.25 0.75 * The maximum range depends on your scanner type, as detailed in the Pathfinder Radar Scanner Owner’s Handbook. The number of range rings shown in the table is the number to the selected range. Additional range rings are displayed to the edge of the radar picture, at the standard ring interval for the current range, and are visible when the centre is offset.
Page 69: Interpreting And Adjusting The Radar Picture
Note: The ranges shown in the table are theoretical maximum ranges. The ra- dar horizon is greater than the optical horizon, but the radar can only detect targets if a large enough target is above the radar horizon. 3.3 Interpreting and Adjusting the Radar Picture Navigational echoes may be large, small, bright or faint, depending not only on the size of the object but also on its orientation and surface.
Page 70: Identifying False Echo Returns
Side lobes have no effect on distant or small surface objects. However, the echo from a large object at short range may produce an arc on the radar screen similar to a range ring or a series of echoes forming a broken arc. Side-lobe echoes normally occur at ranges below 3nm, and can be reduced by adjusting the SEA control.
Page 71: Indirect Echoes
Indirect Echoes There are several types of indirect echoes or ghost images - some examples are shown in Figure 3-4. These sometimes have the appearance of true echoes, but in general they are intermittent and poorly defined. Indirect (false) echoes False echo Passing ship...
Page 72: Adjusting Gain, Sea Clutter, Rain Clutter And Tune
If you change the settings, the new GAIN, SEA and TUNE modes (auto or manual) and values remain set even when you turn the radar off and on again; Rain and FTC are reset to Off at power-on. The status bar indicates which controls are switched to Auto or On, as shown in Figure 3-6.
Page 73 On long range settings, the gain should be set to give a slight speckle in the background of the radar picture. Do not set the gain too low, or you may miss small or weak targets.
Page 74: Tuning The Receiver
Chapter 3: Standard Radar Operations Sea Clutter Control Radar returns from waves around your vessel can clutter the centre of the radar picture (see Figure 3-7, making it difficult to detect real targets. Such sea clutter usually appears as multiple echoes on the display at short range scales, and the echoes are not repetitive or consistent in position.
Page 75 3-10 Rain Clutter Control, using RAIN and FTC The radar can see echoes from rain or snow. Returns from storm areas and rain squalls consist of countless small echoes that continuously change size, intensity, and position. These returns, shown in Figure 3-8sometimes appear as large hazy areas, depending on the intensity of the rainfall or snow in the storm cell.
Page 76: Changing The Targets Display
Chapter 3: Standard Radar Operations Changing the Targets Display The Pathfinder Radar allows you to improve target visibility by changing the following: • Interference rejection • Target expansion • Target wakes These parameters are accessed from the default soft key TARGETS.
Page 77: Interference Rejection
HSB Series Color LCD Display Interference Rejection Mutual radar interference is likely when two or more radar-equipped vessels are operating within range of each other. This usually appears as a series of small dots moving to and from the display centre in a straight line or a long, sweeping curve.
Page 78: Measuring Range And Bearing Using Vrm/Ebls
A standard VRM is displayed as a circle with its centre on your vessel’s position, and it’s EBL is displayed as a line from the origin to the edge of the radar picture display. However, each pair can be floated, so that the origin can be moved.
Page 79: Measuring Range And Bearing To Target From Vessel

Page 84: Setting Guard Zones And Alarms
Chapter 3: Standard Radar Operations 3.5 Setting Guard Zones and Alarms The Pathfinder Radar display allows you to set up one or two guard zones, using the ALARMS key. You can set up sector zones or 360° (circular) zones as shown in Figure 3-13.
Page 85: Placing A Guard Zone
The radar picture shows the guard zone as a four-sided shape bounded by a solid line (or a circle if previously set as one).
Page 86: Moving, Reshaping Or Deleting A Guard Zone
5. Press ENTER again to drop the corner or side in its new position, or CLEAR to abandon the operation and return it to its previous position The radar shows the zone boundary as a short-dashed line (Zone 1) or a long-dashed line (Zone 2), and the cursor returns to normal control.
Page 87: Controlling Guard Zone Alarms
3-22 Controlling Guard Zone Alarms The guard alarm is triggered when a target enters a guard zone which exceeds the target density threshold. You can set the threshold above which a new target will trigger an alarm, and can also turn the alarm on or off. When the alarm is triggered, the unit beeps and a text message is displayed.
Page 88: Marpa
Introduction to MARPA The 10.4" LCD (and 10" CRT) display includes a MARPA (Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid) function for target tracking and risk analysis. This section gives an introduction to the Pathfinder Radar MARPA system and shows you how to use the MARPA functions, you should also read Section 7.5.
Page 89 3-24 Symptoms of such conditions are that acquisition is difficult and the MARPA vectors are unstable; the symbol wanders away from the target, locks onto another target or changes to a lost target symbol. If any of these conditions are present, acquisition and tracking may need to be re-initiated or, in some cases be impossible to maintain.
Page 90 Radar Range Scales MARPA target acquisition is only available at radar range scales of up to 12nm, although tracking continues at all ranges. Providing Heading Data for MARPA The performance of MARPA on the radar display is dependent on the quality of your heading sensor.
