Automatic Acquisition; How To Enable Auto Acquisition - Furuno FAR-3210 Operator's Manual

• When all tracked targets are deleted, the reference target mark is also deleted and
the target-based speed becomes invalid.
• Loss of reference target will affect the calculation of true speed and true course of
targets. Further, own ship speed will be inaccurate.
How to cancel echo-referenced speed input

Automatic Acquisition

This radar can automatically acquire and track a maximum of 200 targets. The maxi-
mum number of acquired targets ([NUMBER OF TT]) is set at the time of installation.
The options are 200 ([MAX]) and 100.
The number of automatically and manually acquired targets is determined by the set-
ting of [TT SELECT] in the [TT] menu.
A target just acquired automatically is marked with a dashed circle and a vector ap-
pears within one minute to indicate the target's motion trend. Within three minutes, the
initial tracking stage is finished and the target becomes ready for stable tracking. At
this time, the dashed circle changes to a solid circle.
Note: When connecting with the FAR-2xx7 series radar, the maximum number of ac-
quired targets ([NUMBER OF TT]) should be set to 100 in the [RADAR INSTALLA-
TION] menu. For details, see the installation manual.
