Adjusting the radar image You may improve the radar image by adjusting the gain, by filtering out unwanted echoes due to sea clutter, rain or other weather conditions, and by tuning the sensitivity of the radar receiver. Ú Note: Tuning is only available for HD radar sensors. Ú...
Sea anti-clutter The Sea anti-clutter option is used to filter the effect of random echo returns from waves or rough water near the vessel. When you increase the value, the sensitivity of the near field clutter caused by waves is reduced. If the value is increased too much, both sea clutter and targets will disappear from the display and targets around own ship may not show potentially dangerous targets.
Radar view options Several radar view options are available from the View sub menu. The View sub menu is activated by pressing the View softkey and available when the system is connected to Halo, 3G and 4G radar scanners, or from the menu when connected to HD Pulse scanners.
0° 0° The examples show the target movement (1-5) over 5 radar scans with the radar in relative motion mode. In example C, own vessel COG is 0°, and speed is 0 knots. In example D, own vessel COG is 0°, and speed is 10 knots. In both examples, the target COG is 270°, and the speed is 20 knots.
turns the heading line changes its direction according to the ship's heading, while the radar image remains stabilized. The North up orientation is not available if no heading source is connected to the radar. If heading data is lost, the system will automatically switch to Head-up orientation. Course up In Course up mode, the top of the bearing scale indicates the ship’s true course measured from north at the time Course up was activated.
allowed is 75% of the radius at the current range. This may result in the CCRP being outside of the bearing scale. In such cases the measurements are still taken by the CCRP and the bearing scale is compressed accordingly. Center The Center option resets the antenna position to the center of the PPI.
Target tracking Radar targets and AIS targets are used to estimate the relative speed and direction, and the system can alert the user about potentially dangerous targets and loss of communication with an AIS target. Managing targets When the cursor is active, you can use the ENT key for acquiring radar targets and for activating AIS targets.

You can set the length of the trails. The length represents the time it takes for the trails to fade out. The Clear trails option clears target trails from your radar panel temporarily. The trails start to build up again unless you switch the function off. Showing a target's past positions The Past positions option is used to visualize the previous positions of a tracked target or an activated AIS target.
effects, when they are an extension of the main echo, can cause momentary errors for the tracking, and course and speed values given by the tracking can become unstable. The problem can usually be eliminated or strongly reduced by an accurate adjustment of the Sea control.
position of the radar-SART may be estimated by using the EBL/VRM off center function and measure 9.5 nautical miles from the farthest dot back towards own ship. • Set the RAIN anti-clutter control to manual mode, and adjust as required to avoid rain clutter - The setting does not affect the radar-SART detection •...
AIS targets If a compatible AIS receiver is connected to the radar system, any targets detected by these devices can be displayed and tracked.

While the HDMI standard does not state maximum cable length, signal may be compromised on long runs. Only use Navico or other high quality HDMI certified cables. 3rd party cables should be tested before installation. On runs over 10m it may be required to add an HDMI amplifier or use HDMI-CAT6 adaptors.
Software setup Prior to use, the radar system requires a number of settings be configured in order for the system to perform as expected. Access to the required dialogs for commissioning are found in the Settings dialog, accessed from the main menu. The settings dialogs consist of numerous parameters that will seldom require adjustment beyond initial setup.
Language Controls the language used on this unit for panels, menus, and dialogs. Changing the language causes the unit to restart. Key beeps Controls the loudness of the beep sound when a key is pressed. Default setting: Loud Time Controls the local time zone offset, and the format of the time and date. Restore defaults Allows you to select which settings are to be restored to their original factory settings.
