1.1 Outline This manual provides the information necessary for the servicing and adjustment of the radars MODELs 1832, 1932 and 1942. The antenna unit uses a Log IF amplifier. The table below shows the major specifications of the each model. The same program is in- stalled on all models, but the menu setting through factory menu is different between the mod- els.
1.2 Boards & Major Components – – – t a l *1: There are two types of the MD-9208 board; the old type for stepping motor RM-9361 and the new type for DC motor RM-9087A. The new board has fewer parts than the old one. No compatibility exists between the boards.
Chapter 2. BLOCK DESCRIPTION 2.1 Overview The simpified block diagram of the system is illustrated below. Scanner Unit Antenna Display Unit Mag. HD,BP Mod. Processor Video Trigger RF Module Panel Power M1832-SME-8 Ship's mains Nav. Gyro Simplified block diagram of system The trigger pulse from the PROCESSOR Board is delivered to the MODULATOR Board, oscillates the magnetron, and then radar wave is emitted from the radiator.
2.2 Display Unit Refer to the block diagram on page 2-3. Power Supply Circuit (PTU-9205) The constant voltage generator Q1 is in operation even when power switch is off, if ship's mains is supplied. The power supply circuit is basically consists of a main inverter and a sub inverter. The main inverter derives the isolated line voltages +12 V/ANT+12 V and -12 V/ANT -12 V from the main input.
4) When a range where pulselength is changed from short to middle and from middle to long is selected. Tracking: After short search, tracking takes place. Tracking voltage: 0 V to 13 V (MODEL 1832), 0 V to 32 V (MODEL 1932/1942) Tuning voltage (TUNE)
MANUAL TUNING The manual tuning voltage changes from 1 to 12 V on M 1832, and 5 to 32 V on M 1932/1942 at the steps of about 0.1 V. Manual Tuning is carried out by using omnipad: pressing "Left" side decreases TUNING CONT voltage, pressing "Right"...
Video Adjustment The video adjustment is carried out through the Tune/video adjustment menu in the installation setup menu. The following describes the outline of the adjustment. q Main Bang suppression Level (MBS L) is set to 0. w EEPOT, U14 is set to minimum. (EEPOT initialization with "L" level of U14 #7) e EEPOT gets into step-up mode (U14 #2 is H.) to measure output video level at each step.
Turning on/off antenna rotation The SPU board controls antenna rotation. In normal operation, the antenna rotates during the TX condition. However, the antenna can be stopped during the TX condition thru the Installa- tion setup menu. PTU-9205 Board SPU Board INT9213 Board J201 J203...
Target acquisition by Auto plotter Conditions for manual acquisition 1) Within 9 scans, the target must be detected near the cursor position. 2) Target echo must be smaller than land echo (800 m or less in the radial or circumferential direction) at the front end processor.

Modulator PRINCIPLE OF FET SWITCHING MODULATOR High voltage is charged into C through R while the magnetron is inactive. When the trigger is applied to the power MOS-FET, the FET turns on and the high voltage appears at the primary winding of the pulse transformer.
2.4 Different Points of Similar PCBs 1. How to set SPU (SPU-9211) Board This board is set at factory for use in the MODEL 1832. For use in the MODEL 1932 or 1942, change the factory menu as below. While pressing and holding down the GAIN (HM-OFF) control, press the [MENU] key five times to display the factory menu.

CHAPTER 4. MAINTENANCE 4.1 Remarks on Replacement of Major Parts Turn off the power before replacing any parts Do not touch the magnetron while the radar is transmitting. Sufficient high voltage exists at the magnetron to cause death. MAGNETRON The magnetron emits a strong magnetic field. For this reason, remove wrist watch before per- forming the replacement and use a non-magnetic screwdriver to dismount the magnetron.
