Page 45: Presentation Modes
15. Navigation Sensors Presentation Modes 2.4.1 Presentation modes This radar has the following presentation modes in the radar mode: 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 46 2. Radar Operation Course-up mode The course-up mode is an azimuth stabilized display in which a line connecting the center with the top of the display indicates own ship’s intended course (namely, own ship’s previous heading just before this mode has been selected). Target pips are painted at their measured distances and in their directions relative to the intended course, which is maintained at the 0-degree position.
Page 47: True Motion Mode
15. Navigation Sensors 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 48: How To Input Your Ship's Speed
The Target Tracking (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 from the menu. Note that FURUNO GPS Navigator GP-90 provides COG and SOG.
Page 49: Speed Selection For Cog And Sog (Navigation)

Page 51: How To Select The Range Scale
15. Navigation Sensors How to Select the Range Scale The selected range scale, range ring interval and pulse length are shown at the upper left corner on the screen. When a target of interest comes closer, reduce the range scale so that it appears in 50-90% of the display radius. From the control unit w/keyboard Use the RANGE key to select range desired.
Page 52: Automatic Adjustment By The A/C Sea Control
2. Radar Operation 2.8.1 Automatic adjustment by the A/C SEA control Auto A/C SEA allows for fine-tuning of the A/C SEA circuit, within ±20 dB. Accordingly, with the bar reading set to 100, gain is not lowered to minimum as with manual A/C SEA on close-in ranges. Further, the auto A/C SEA level is low because the average value of the original input echo is low in areas where there are no sea surface reflections.
Page 53: How To Suppress Rain Clutter
15. Navigation Sensors How to Suppress Rain Clutter Use the AUTO RAIN and A/C RAIN to suppress rain clutter. AUTO RAIN suppresses rain clutter in the picture and A/C RAIN suppresses clutter picked up by the antenna. When both sea clutter and rain clutter are reduced the sensitivity is decreased more than when only one is adjusted. For that reason adjust them carefully.
Page 54 2. 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 55: Interference Rejector
15. Navigation Sensors 2.10 Interference Rejector Mutual radar interference may occur in the vicinity of another shipborne radar operating in the same frequency band as own radar. 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 56: How To Measure Range By The Variable Range Marker (Vrm)
2. Radar Operation 2.11.2 How to measure range by the variable range marker (VRM) There are two VRMs, No. 1 and No. 2. They are dashed rings so that you can discriminate them from the fixed range rings. The two VRMs can be distinguished from each other by different lengths of dashes.

Page 59: Collision Assessment By Offset Ebl
15. Navigation Sensors 2.14 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 below in Figure (a).
Page 60: How To Select Point Of Reference For Origin Point Of Offset Ebl
2. Radar Operation 2.14.2 How to select point of reference for origin point of offset EBL The origin point of the offset EBL can be ground stabilized (geographically fixed), north stabilized (true) or referenced to own ship’s heading (relative). 1.

15. Navigation Sensors 2.15 How to Measure Range and Bearing Between Two Targets From the control unit w/keyboard 1. 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 62: How To Off-Center The Display
2. Radar Operation 2.16 How to Off-Center 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 63: Echo Averaging
15. Navigation Sensors 2.18 Echo Averaging The echo average feature effectively suppresses 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 64: Target Trails
2. Radar Operation 2.19 Target Trails The trails of the radar echoes of targets may be displayed in the form of synthetic afterglow. Target trails are selected either relative or true and may be sea or ground stabilized. True motion trails require a compass signal, position and speed inputs.
Page 65: Parallel Index (Pi) Lines
15. Navigation Sensors 2.20 Parallel Index (PI) Lines PI lines are useful for keeping a constant distance between own ship and a coastline or a partner ship when navigating. Up to six sets of PI lines are available depending on the maximum number of PI lines selected on the menu.

Page 87: Radar Observation
3. Radar Observation General 3.1.1 Minimum and maximum ranges Minimum range The minimum range is defined by the shortest distance at which, using a scale of 1.5 or 0.75 nm, a target having an echoing area of 10 m is still shown separate from the point representing the antenna position. It is mainly dependent on the pulse length, antenna height, and signal processing such as main bang reduction and digital quantization.
Page 88: Range Resolution
This is determined by pulse length only. Practically, a 0.08 microsecond pulse offers the discrimination better than 40 m as do so with all FURUNO radars. Test targets for determining the range and bearing resolution are radar reflectors having an echoing area of 10 m Bearing accuracy One of the most important features of the radar is how accurately the bearing of a target can be measured.

3. Radar Observation SART (Search and Rescue Transponder) 3.3.1 SART description A Search and Rescue Transponder (SART) may be triggered by any X-Band (3 cm) radar within a range of approximately 8 nm. Each radar pulse received causes it to transmit a response that is swept repetitively across the complete radar frequency band.

3. Radar Observation 3.3.2 How to show SART marks on the radar display This radar is equipped with a feature that optimally sets up the radar for SART detection. This feature automatically detunes the radar receiver out of its best tuning condition. This erases or weakens all normal radar echoes, but the SART marks are not erased because the SART response signal scans over all frequencies in the 9 GHz band.
