OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

1.1

General

The Video Plotter RP-250 is an optional circuit board (RP board) which is
accommodated in the display unit of the FR-2105 series radar. It permits use of
two memory cards, a memory card (RAM card) for storing own ship and other
ship tracks and marks, and the other is a chart card (ROM card) for digital
charts.
With connection of an AIS (Universal Automatic Identification System)
transponder to the RP board, the RP-250 provides navigation data about
targets which carry an AIS transponder.
30 navigation lines may be stored and each line may contain up to 30
waypoints. Five nav lines may be simultaneously shown on the display. 100
waypoints are available. The user may enter position data in waypoints 01-98.
(Waypoint 00 is for own ship position when destination is set; waypoint 99 is for
waypoint from external equipment.) Own ship and other ship tracks may be
stored at a selected interval.
Charts are superimposed on the radar picture without disturbing the radar
observation. The chart area is dependent on the radar range in use. The
RP-250 comes in two versions: FURUNO/NAVIONICS and FURUNO/C-MAP.
Note: The example screens shown in this manual may not match the screens
you see on your display. The screen you see depends on your system
configuration and equipment settings.
