  • Page 39: Presentation Modes

    1.12 Presentation Modes This radar has the following presentation modes: Relative Motion (RM) Head-up: Unstabilized Head-up TB: Head-up with compass-stabilized bearing scale (True Bearing) where the bearing scale rotates with the compass reading. Course-up: Compass-stabilized relative to ship’s orientation at the time of selecting course-up.

  • Page 40: Description Of Presentation Modes

    1. RADAR OPERATION 1.12.2 Description of presentation modes Head-up mode The head-up mode is a display in which the line connecting own ship and the top of the display indicates own ship’s heading. The target pips are painted at their measured distances and in their directions relative to own ship’s heading.
  • Page 41 1. RADAR OPERATION Head-up TB (True Bearing) mode Radar echoes are shown in the same way as in the head-up mode. The difference from normal head-up presentation lies in the orientation of the bearing scale. The bearing scale is heading sensor stabilized. That is, it rotates in accordance with the heading sensor signal, enabling you to know own ship’s heading at a glance.
  • Page 42 1. RADAR OPERATION Stern-up mode The stern-up mode rotates the head-up mode picture, relative and true bearings and display graphics 180°. This mode is useful on dual-radar tugboats when backing up; one radar shows head-up and another shows stern-up. To enable the stern-up mode, turn on STERN-UP on the 7 OPERATION menu.
  • Page 43 True motion mode Own ship and other moving objects move in accordance with their true courses and speed. In ground stabilized TM, all fixed targets, such as landmasses, appear as stationary echoes. In the sea stabilized TM without set and drift inputs, the landmass can move on the screen.

  • Page 44: Entering Own Ship's Speed

    The TT and azimuth stabilized presentation modes require own ship speed input and compass signal. The speed can be entered from a log (STW) or GPS (SOG) or manually on the menu. Note that FURUNO GPS Navigator GP-90 provides COG and SOG.

  • Page 45: Manual Speed Input

  • Page 49: Reducing Sea Clutter

    1.17 Reducing Sea Clutter Echoes from waves cover the central part of the display with random signals known as sea clutter. The higher the waves, and the higher the antenna above the water, the further the clutter extends. When sea clutter masks the picture, reduce it by the A/C SEA control, either manually or automatically.

  • Page 50: Manual Reduction Of Sea Clutter

    1. RADAR OPERATION By trackball 1. Select SEA AUTO following the procedure in section 1.17.1. 2. Use the trackball to place the arrow in the A/C SEA level indicator at the top of the display. 3. While observing the A/C SEA level indicator, roll the scrollwheel downward to increase the A/C SEA or upward to decrease it.

  • Page 51: Reducing Rain Clutter

    1.18 Reducing Rain Clutter Use the AUTO RAIN and A/C RAIN to reduced rain clutter. AUTO RAIN reduces rain clutter in the picture and A/C RAIN reduces clutter picked up by the antenna. Note 1: When both sea clutter and rain clutter are reduced the sensitivity is decreased more than when only one is adjusted.
  • Page 52 1. RADAR OPERATION Note: The detection range is reduced when the A/C RAIN is used to show targets in rain. Generally, the amount of rain, TX pulse length and TX frequency are factors in determining how the detection range is affected. The figures shown below illustrate this occurrence.

  • Page 53: Measuring Range

    1.19 Measuring Range The range to a target may be measured three ways: with the fixed range rings, with the cursor, or with the VRM. Use the fixed range rings to get an estimate of the range to a target. The rings are the concentric solid circles on the display.

  • Page 54: Measuring Range By The Variable Range Marker (Vrm)

    1. RADAR OPERATION 1.19.2 Measuring range by the variable range marker (VRM) There are two VRMs, No. 1 and No. 2, which appear as dashed rings so that you can distinguish them from the fixed range rings. The two VRMs can be distinguished from each other by the different lengths of their dashes;...

The two EBLs can be distinguished from each other by the different lengths of their dashes;...

  • Page 57: True Or Relative Bearing

    No. 2 1.20.2 True or relative bearing The EBL readout is affixed by "R" (relative) if it is relative to own ship's heading, "T" (true) if it is referenced to the north. Available on the IMO and A type radars. True or relative indication is available regardless of presentation mode.

  • Page 58: Collision Assessment By Offset Ebl

    1. RADAR OPERATION 1.21 Collision Assessment by Offset EBL The origin of the EBL can be placed anywhere with the trackball to enable measurement of range and bearing between any targets. This function is also useful for assessment of the potential risk of collision. It is possible to read CPA (Closest Point of Approach) by using a VRM as shown in (a) in the illustration on the next page.

    1. RADAR OPERATION 1.22 Measuring Range and Bearing Between Two Targets By keyboard 1. Press the [EBL OFFSET] key. Operate the trackball to place the origin of the No. 1 EBL, for example, on a target of interest (target 1 in the illustrated example).

  • Page 61: Target Alarm

    1.23 Target Alarm The target alarm serves to alert the navigator to targets (ships, landmasses, etc.) entering a specific area, with audiovisual alarms. • The alarm should not be relied upon as • A/C SEA, A/C RAIN and GAIN controls should be properly adjusted to be sure the alarm system does not overlook target echoes.

  • Page 62: Acknowledging The Target Alarm

    1. RADAR OPERATION Note 1: If you wish to create a target alarm zone having a 360-degree coverage around own ship, set point "B" in almost the same direction as point "A." Note 2: Two target alarm zones may be set. Note however that the 2 alarm zone is available only when the 1 Note 3: When the target alarm zone is not within the range in use the indication UP RNG appears to the right of the ALARM box.

  • Page 64: Off-Centering The Display

    1. RADAR OPERATION 1.24 Off-Centering the Display Own ship position, or sweep origin, can be displaced to expand the view field without switching to a larger range scale. The sweep origin can be off-centered to the cursor position, but not more than 75% of the range in use; if the cursor is set beyond 75% of the range scale, the sweep origin will be off-centered to the point of 75% of the limit.

  • Page 65: Interference Rejector

    1.25 Interference Rejector Mutual radar interference may occur in the vicinity of another shipborne radar operating in the same frequency band. It is seen on the screen as a number of bright spikes either in irregular patterns or in the form of usually curved spoke-like dotted lines extending from the center to the edge of the picture.

  • Page 66: Echo Averaging

    1. RADAR OPERATION 1.27 Echo Averaging The echo averaging feature effectively reduces sea clutter. Echoes received from stable targets such as ships appear on the screen at almost the same position every rotation of the antenna. On the other hand, unstable echoes such as sea clutter appear at random positions.

  • Page 67: Noise Rejector

    1.28 Noise Rejector White noise may show itself on the screen as random "speckles" spread over the entire radar image. You can remove this noise as follows: 1. Right-click the PICTURE box at the left side of the screen to open the PICTURE menu.

  • Page 68: Wiper

    1. RADAR OPERATION 1.29 Wiper The wiper feature automatically reduces the brilliance of weak signals (noise, sea clutter, rain clutter, etc.) and unwanted signals such as radar interference to clear the picture of unwanted echoes. Its effect depends on the wiper setting used and whether each averaging is turned on or off, as described below.

  • Page 69: Target Trails

    1.30 Target Trails The trails of the radar echoes of targets may be displayed in the form of synthetic afterglow. Target trails are shown either relative or true and may be sea or ground stabilized. True motion trails require a compass signal, and position and speed data.

The FURUNO TTs comply with these requirements. Acquisition and tracking A target which is hit by five consecutive radar pulses, is detected as a radar echo.

TARGET TRACKING (TT) 3.19 Factors Affecting TT Functions Sea returns If the radar anti-clutter control is adjusted properly, there is no serious effect because distant wave clutter, not eliminated by this control, is filtered out by more than one bang correlation and scan-to-scan matching of data. Rain and snow Clutter can be acquired and tracked as targets.

TARGET TRACKING (TT) Blind and shadow sectors Radar shadow or blind areas caused by obstructions aboard ship, for example, funnels and masts, in the path of the radar beam can result in reduction of radar beam intensity in that particular direction.
