◆◆◆PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATION◆◆◆ ■Cautions for high voltage High voltages from hundreds volts to tens of thousands volts are to be applied to the electronic equipment such radio and radar devices. You do not face any danger during normal operation, but sufficient cares are required for maintenance, inspection and adjustment of their internal components.
◆◆◆FIRST-AID TREATMENTS◆◆◆ ☆First-aid treatments As far as the victim of electric shock is not in dangerous condition, do not move him and practice artificial respiration on him immediately. Once started, it should be continued rhythmically. (1) Do not touch the victim confusedly as a result of the accident, but the rescuer may also get an electric shock.
☆When pulse is beating but breathing has stopped (Mouth-to-mouth respiration) Fig. 1 (1) Tilt the victim’s head back as far as this face looks back. (A pillow may be inserted his neck.) (2) Push his jaw upward to open his throat wide (to spread his airway). (3) Pinch the victim’s nostrils and take a deep breath, block his mouth completely with yours and blow into his mouth strongly.
☆When both pulse and breathing have stopped Perform the (Cardiac massage) Fig. 2 and (Mouth-to-mouth respiration) Fig. 1 When no pulse has come not to be felt, his pupils are open and no heartbeat is heard, cardiac arrest is supposed to have occurred and artificial respiration must be performed. (1) Place your both hands, one hand on the other, on the lower one third area of his breastbone and compress his breast with your elbows applying your weight on his breast so that it is dented about 2cm (Repeat compressing his breast 50 times or so a minutes).

PREPARATION This section explains the features of EPA/ATA/ARPA and AIS functions, and the initial setting for using each function. The four plotting functions below are available with this radar equipment. An optional device is necessary for using each of the ATA, ARPA, and AIS functions. EPA (Electronic Plotting Aid) function The EPA function calculates the course and speed of a target from the positions of the target that have been entered manually at specified intervals.

5.1 PREPARATION 5.1.1 Collision Avoidance Problems of Collision Avoidance in Navigation Marine collision avoidance is one of the problems that have been recognized from of old. Now, it will be described briefly who the collision avoidance is positioned among the navigational aid problems. The navigation pattern of all mobile craft constitutes a system with some closed loops regardless of the media through which the mobile craft travels, whether air, water, the boundary between air and water, or space.
Basic Concept of Collision Avoidance There are two aspects in collision avoidance: collision prediction and avoidance. Collision prediction is to predict that two or more vessels will happen to occupy the same point at the same time, while collision avoidance is to maneuver vessels not to occupy the same point at the same time. In practical operation of vessels, a spot of collision has to be deemed to be a single point but a closed zone.
Page 215
5.1 PREPARATION Fig. 5-3 Relative Vector and True vector Radar and Collision Avoidance Radar is still playing an important roll for collision prevention and positioning. A plotter is used to further enhance the radar functionality. The plotter is capable of plotting other positions of other ships in 3 to 6 minute intervals to monitor their movement.

Inactive target The direction of the triangle’s vertex indicates the target’s bow or COG. The heading direction is displayed with a solid line, and the COG vector is displayed with a dotted line.
5.1.3 Setting Collision Decision Criteria (CPA/TCPA Limit) For details on each operation, see 3.4 BASIC OPERATION and 4 MEASUREMENT OF RANGE AND BEARING. Attention l Set the optimum values of collision decision conditions, depending upon vessel type, water area, weather and oceanographic conditions. (For the relations between those conditions and alarms, refer to section 5.3.6 Alarm Display.

The setting enables the operator to select ON/OFF for a generally used guard zone by simply operating the [GZ ALARM] key on the control panel.
EPA OPERATION This section explains how to use the EPA function. The EPA function is available when the ATA and ARPA options are not installed. The EPA function stores/displays vectors as the courses and speeds of target ships. The data of up to 10 target ships (plot/ID numbers 0-9) can be specified. The EPA function calculates CPA/TCPA, and issues an alarm.

ATA/ARPA OPERATION This section explains how to use the ATA and ARPA functions. Each function is available only when the ATA or ARPA option is installed. The functions automatically track a target, and store/display vectors as the course and speed. They calculate CPA and TCPA, and issue an alarm.
5.3 ATA/ARPA OPERATION Manual Acquisition [MANUAL] Attention l If more targets are acquired manually in the condition that the maximum number of targets are under tracking, the targets under tracking will be cancelled in the order of lower level of danger in order to track the manually acquired targets.
5.3.2 Canceling Unwanted Targets Unwanted targets can be canceled one by one in the following cases: · Tracking is no longer necessary for targets with which vectors/symbols are displayed after being acquired and tracked. · The number of vectors on the radar display needs to be reduced for easy observation. When targets are to be re-acquired from the beginning, all the current vectors can also be canceled.
5.3 ATA/ARPA OPERATION 5.3.3 Displaying Target ID No. (Target Number Display) A target ID number is a value displayed beside the acquisition symbol when a target is acquired. ID numbers are assigned to targets in acquisition order. When the ATA function is used, ID numbers 1 to 30 are automatically assigned.
5.3.4 ATA/ARPA Data Display (Refer to Example of Display in page 2-1. ) Display of Vectors Attention l When a target or own ship changes a course, or when a target is acquired, its vector may not reach a given level of accuracy until three minutes or more has passed after such course change or target acquisition.
Page 231
5.3 ATA/ARPA OPERATION Relative Vector Mode In displaying the relative vector of a target, press the [VECT R/T] key to select the Relative Vector mode. The relative vector does not represent the true motion of the target, but its relative relation with own ship. This means that a target with its relative vector directed to own ship (passing through the CPA LIMIT ring) will be a dangerous target.
Page 232
[II] Vector Length: VECTOR TIME The vector length of a target is proportional to its speed, and the vector time can be switched in a range of 1 to 60 minutes by used for ten-key. The diagram below illustrates a vector length of a target for six minutes, and the tip of the vector represents the target’s position expected to reach six minutes later.

Guard Zone Alarm CAUTION In setting a guard zone, it is necessary to adjust the gain, sea clutter suppression and rain/snow clutter suppression to ensure that target echoes are displayed in the optimum conditions. No guard zone alarms will be issued for targets undetected by the radar, and this may cause accidents such as collisions.
5.3 ATA/ARPA OPERATION Lost Target Alarm Attention l If the gain, sea clutter suppression, rain/snow clutter suppression are not adjusted adequately, the lost target alarm may be easily generated. So such adjustments should be mad carefully. When it is impossible to continue tracking any acquired and tracked target, the LOST target alarm will be generated.
System Function Alarm When an abnormal state of an input signal or a trouble in the processing circuitry occurs, an character or alarm is generated. When an alarm occurs against any ARPA function, ARPA (DATA) will appear in the WARNING display area, but no indication is made in the ARPA information display.
5.3 ATA/ARPA OPERATION 5.3.7 Trial Maneuvering (Trial) Attention l Trial maneuvering is to simulate own ship’s course and speed in the conditions that the course and speed of a target ship are unchanged as they are. As the situation is different from any actual ship maneuvering, set values with large margins to CPA Limit and TCPA Limit.
Trial Maneuvering in the True Vector Mode In the True Vector mode, calculations are performed according to the values set by Trial Speed and Trial Course, and the result is displayed as a bold-line that represents the change of own ship’s vector as shown in the figure below (an example of the course changed to the right).
Page 245
5.3 ATA/ARPA OPERATION Trial Maneuvering in the Relative Vector Mode The result of Trial maneuvering in the Relative Vector mode is shown by a change in target vector. In the figure below (in the same conditions as in the True Vector mode in the previous page), it is seen that the acquired target is a dangerous one because its vector is crossing the CPA RING.

Speed Press [1] key. 20.0 kts “Trial” will be set to “ON” and a character “T” blinks under own ship’s mark on display to indicate the trial maneuvering mode.
5.3 ATA/ARPA OPERATION 5.3.8 ATA/ARPA Simulation CAUTION Simulation is a function to check whether the ATA/ARPA system is operating normally. Do not use this function except when checking the ATA/ARPA operation. In particular, if this mode is used during navigation, pseudo targets appear on the radar display, which may be confused with the actual targets.
Page 248
[I] Test Video Attention l TEST VIDEO may not appear for targets that are not acquired nor tracked, or if the [GAIN] and [SEA] controls are adjusted properly Test Video is used to check whether the video signals under target acquisition and tracking are inputted to and processed in the target processing circuit normally.
5.3 ATA/ARPA OPERATION [II] ATA Simulator Pseudo targets can be generated in certain known positions to check whether the ARPA processing circuits are operating normally. Since the pseudo targets move depending on known parameters, the values for these pseudo targets can be compared with the known value if the pseudo targets are acquired and tracked, and displayed.

The radar operator has a role of interpreting the radar displays to provide his best aid in maneuvering the ship. For this purpose, the operator has to observe the radar displays after fully understanding the advantages and disadvantages that the radar has. For better interpretation of radar display, it is important to gain more experiences by operating the radar equipment in fair weathers and comparing the target ships watched with the naked eyes and their echoes on the radar display.
RADAR WAVE WITH THE HORIZON Radar beam radiation has the nature of propagating nearly along the curved surface of the earth. The propagation varies with the property of the air layer through which the radar beam propagates. In the normal propagation, the distance (D) of the radar wave to the horizon is approximately 10% longer than the distance to the optical horizon.
Page 282
D (nm) Height of Target Height of Radar Scanner Detective Range Figure 6.1 When the height of own ship’s scanner is 10 m for instance, A target that can be detected at the radar range of 64 nm on the radar display is required to have a height of 660 m or more.
STRENGTH OF REFLECTION FROM THE TARGET The signal intensity reflected from a target depends not only on the height and size of the target but also on its material and shape. The echo intensity from a higher and larger target is not always higher in general. In particular, the echo from a coast line is affected by the geographic conditions of the coast.
SEA CLUTTERS When the sea surface ruffles, bright echo returns spread around the center of the radar display. The higher the waves are, the echo returns are larger. Swirling currents may appear as a smooth line like a coastal line. 6─5...
FALSE ECHOES The radar observer may be embarrassed with some echoes that do not exist actually. These false echoes appear by the following causes that are well known: Shadow When the radar scanner is installed near a funnel or mast, the echo of a target that exists in the direction of the funnel or mast cannot appear on the radar display because the radar beam is reflected on the funnel or mast.
Page 286
[IV] False Echo by Multiple Reflection When there is a large structure or ship with a high vertical surface near own ship as shown in Figure 6.5, multiple refection returns may appear on the radar display. These echoes appear in the same intervals, of which the nearest echo is the true echo of the target.
Page 287
6.5 Display of Radar Transponder (SART) [VI] Radar Interference When another radar equipment using the same frequency band as that on own ship is near own ship, a radar interference pattern may appear on the radar display. This interference pattern consists of a number of spots which appear in various forms.
DISPLAY OF RADAR TRANSPONDER (SART) The SART (Search and rescue Radar Transponder) is a survival device authorized by the GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System), which is used for locating survivors in case that a distress accident occurs at sea. The SART is designed to operate in the 9 GHz frequency band. When receiving the 9 GHz radar signal (interrogating signal) transmitted from the radar equipment on a rescue ship or search aircraft, the SART transmit a series of response signals to inform the distress position to the rescue and search party.
