3.3 USING THE CONTROLS
3.3.1 TUNE Control
Radar magnetrons, during their aging process, may take several mi· nutes to completely stabilize on frequency. So, after switching to On and tuning initially, the tuning should be rechecked after the first 10 minutes:
Symptom that the equipment may be out of tune are a lack of distant echoes or, sometimes, the appearance of double echoes (one echo behind another). Normally it is possible to "fine-tune" the radar by selecting a comparatively weak echo and then set the TUNE key level where the strongest echoes are displayed.
3.3.2 GAIN Control
The correct setting of the GAIN control is for light background speckle to be just visible on the screen. The equipment is then in its most sensitive condition. Objects will be detected at the greatest possible range. With too little gain, weak targets may be missed and not displayed with a decrease in detection range. With excessive gain the diner· ence between echoes and background noise will be substantially reduced, making target observation more diHicult.
In areas around strong targets (buildings, hills, towers, etc.), the gain might be temporarily reduced to clarify the picture. This should be done with care so important targets will not be missed. With the gain at its normal setting, clutter from rain or snow may obscure the echo from a ship inside a squall or storm'. A temporary reduction in gain along with the proper RAIN CL/SEA CL settings may usually permit the stronger and more distinct ship's echo to be distinguished .
Detection of targets beyond the storm may, however, require slight· ly higher gain than normal, since the storm may have attenuated, but not completely obscured t~e echoes from the targets. The GAIN control should be always be reset to the optimum level following the range scale changes. In addition, when eri~lronmental conditions change, readjust· ment of the gain may be required.
'
3.3.3 SEA CLUnER Control,
Whereas the GAIN control affects the strength of echo returns at all ranges, the effect of SEA CLUTTER control is greatest on near by re· turns, becoming progressively less as ra.nge increases. The SEA CLUT-
TER control is effective up to a maximum o( about three miles.

(
In particular, the SEA CLUTTER control reduces the strength of the mass of random signals received from waves at short range. The STC level used should be sufficient to reduce the strength of sea clutter while still allowing small near by targets to be distinguished. The level should never be set so high so as to blank out all near-by returns.
The sensitivity· of the SEA CLUTTER control is variable in 32 steps, thus enabling an optimum picture to be obtained under adverse weather conditions.
Maximum reduction in the strength of close-range clutter takes place when the control is set the maximum. When it is set to the minimum there is no reduction in the strength of near-by clutter.
The SEA CLUTTER control may be useful to reduce effects from rain or snow clutter in the immediate vicinity of the vessel. A temporary increase in the setting may permit stronger echoes from ships, and some navigational marks inside storms or squalls, to be distinguished.
At close range in crowded regions the control may be temporarily advanced to clear the picture. This should be done with care, so as to avoid missing important target returns.
The SEA CLUTTER control should be always checked and reset to the minimum required level position after any temporary alteration or when environmental conditions improve.
It is important to remember that both GAIN and SEA CLUTTER levels should be checked and adjusted each time a new range scale is selected. This is important to assure that excessive sea clutter or insurricient gain will not cause important targets to be missed or not displayed.
3.3.4 RAIN CLUTTER Control
During heavy rain or _snow storms the RAIN CLUTTER control may be used to improve the detection between echoes and the storm clutter.
When operating the RAIN CLU1TER, you will notice the reduction of background returns from land and large targets. This is normal. The raiq storm should be minimized and allow targets to be seen within the storm.
3.3.5 l@tnterference Rejection
When other radars are using the same frequency band as that of your own radar, interference typically appears arranged in curled spokes as shown in Fig. 3-3. The radar interference is most noticeable on longer range scales.
Activating the [IBJ feature will eliminate this type of interference as well as affecting reduction of the background noise.
·~
In general, the IR should be set to "ON" for normal operation to allow maximum target presentations on the radar display.

3.4 NAVIGATION WITH THE RADAR
3.4.1 Ob11lnln11 Poalllon fix
The Model R20 Radar is an accurate and reliable navigational aid for determining your ship's position. Figure 3-4 shows examples of alternative methods of using radar sitings from prominent navigational points which can be identified on a chart. A position fix based on two or more navigational points will furnish an accurate fix, especially when the points approach 90 degrees are separated by more than 90° from each other relative to your ship.
3.4.2 Avold1nce Ttchnlquea Colllalon
The moment a new target appears on the screen, its range and relative bearing should be noted. This is best done by putting the target information directly onto plotting sheet or chart.
As in visual observation,. "a constant bearing indicates a collision course."
As soon as a series of plots taken at intervals of 3 minutes indicates a closing range with no significant change in successive bearings, positive course change action should be considered and "The Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea" should be observed.

·3.4.3 Delermlnlna Your Rad1r Llne·of·Slahl Ranae (T1r1et Delectlon Ranae)
When searching for distant targets, your radar line-of-sight range to the target can be a limiting factor. Radar waves behave like light waves but they are refracted slightly more, increasing the distance to the radar horizon slightly more than that to the optical horizon (however, displayed range is correct). As Fig. 3-5 shows, the radar line-of-sight range is a combination of the radar horizon of your ship's radar scanner and the radar horizon of the target.
The distance to the radar horizon from radar scanner of height "h" meters, under standard conditions, may be calculated from the formula
Distance (nm) = 2. 23 v'h
5 nm.
For example, a scanner at height of 5 meters has a radar horizon of
·
A 5 meters cliff has a radar horizon of 5 nm. Therefore, under standard conditions, the cliff should begin to appear on the screen when the ship comes nearer than 5+5= 10 nm.

3.5 FALSE ECHOES
Occasionally, signals appear on the screen at positions where there is no visual target. These targets could be raise echoes.
The following conditions are the most common cause or false echoes.
3.5.1 SIDE ECHOES
In your antenna some or the radiation escapes on each side or the main beam of energy and is known as "side lobes". Ha large target is very close to your ship, may be renected by the target and they will be displayed on the screen as an echo. (See Fig. 3-6)
These echoes sometimes appear as arcs form echoes al each side or the true echo. Sometimes joined together ir the side echoes are strong.

3.5.2 Indirect Echoes
Indirect echoes may appear when there is a large target, such as a passing ship, at a short range and a renecting surface, such as a runnel, on your own ship in line with the antenna. The signal on first striking the smooth side or the large target, will be renected, and the echo returns to the antenna and is shown on the display. However, the same renection hits other masts or obstacles and then gets picked up by the radar antenna with enough strength to appear as a target on the radar screen.

3.5.3 Multiple Echoes
Multiple echoes could appear ir there is a large target having a wide vertical surface parallel to your own ship at comparatively short ranges.
The signal will be reflected by the wide vertical surface, then the renected signal strikes your own ship, and it will return along the same paths to the target. This will be repeated.
Thus, the multiple echoes will appear beyond the true target's echo on the same bearing as shown in Fig. 3-8. This is not very common.

3.!1.4 Ghoat Echo11
The ghost echoes may appear if there is a target having a wide smooth surface near your own ship. As shown in Fig. 3-9, the cause of the ghost echoes is similar to that of the indirect echoes.
The ghost echoes appear on the screen as if you saw the target reflected in a mirror.

Although the scanner unit should be ideally placed where there is a good all-around view, as far away as possible from any part of the ship's superstructure or rigging to reflect the beam, there may be some obstructions. An obstruction will throw either a complete or partial shadow as shown in Fig. 3-10.
If there are targets in such shadow sector, target's echoes may not be displayed on the screen. Thus, it is important to know the bearings and width of all shadow sectors, and it can be checked by turning the SEA
CLUTTER control to zero when light rain clutter covers much of the screen and the sea is calm.
Any shadow will then be shown as dark sectors in the clutter.

4.2 SCANNER UNIT
Set the safety switch (SlOl) of the Scanner Unit to OFF before working on the radar Scanner.
CAUTION:
The safety switch of this radar only stops antenna rotation. The transmitter will operate when the radar is turned to ON. Avoid allowing the array to point towards anyones' eye level during ser· vice work.
4.2.1 R1dome
Wipe the surface of the Radome with a clean, soft cloth. Remove any paint, dirt, or caked salts. Heavy deposits of dirt or caked salt on the surface of the Radome can cause a considerable drop in the radar's performance. Avoid using chemical cleaners of solvents. Alcohol is preferred or light detergents as a cleaning agent.
4.2.2 Lubrlc1tlon
Periodic replacement of lubricants is recommended.
Locate the main drive gear, clean away old lubrication residue and dirt. Using an appropriate applicator apply a light coating of grease
(MOBILUX Grease No. 2 Mobil Oil Company or equivalent) on the gear of the main shaft and the drive motor.
Cleaning and lubrication should be done approximately every six months.

5.2 TROUBLE·SHOOTING
5.2.1 General
While the R20 Radar is a highly reliable system, early detection of component fatigue can be spotted during regular operational checks.
When a problem is observed, corrective service should be arranged to avoid failure at critical times at sea.
5.2.2 Faull Flndln1
(1)
Regular operational checks (preventative maintenance)
The electrical performance of the equipment should be evaluated at periodic intervals by qualified Raytheon Technicians and the results recorded. Changes in test results may indicate an aging or failing component. Table 5.1 provides a check list of items.
Whenever an abnormal result is obtained from a test, appropriate corrective maintenance should be employed to prevent serious dam· age or failure modes.
CAUTION: In making checks, be alert to the high voltage points existing throughout the equipment.
(2) Fuse
A ruse seldom blowns out without some cause. Even if a fuse is merely replaced and does not blow again, it still may be necessary to make further checks of the circuits associated with the fuse.
Table 5.2 shows a table or fuses employed in the equipment.
(3) Fault finding procedure
Often the display on the CRT can help indicate which major circuit is at fault. The next step is study the block diagram (Fig. 104) to obtain an idea as to obtain an idea as to which stages require checking, in what order, and what additional tests such as controladjustments may be necessary. It may be found quicker to check-out the equipment according to the trouble shooting guide (Table 5.3).
In general, the causes of troubles frequently encountered include abnormal resistances, intermittent variable resistors, switches, and relays and shorted crystal diodes.
In the following fault finding procedure, it is assumed that only a
VOM is available; the use or an oscilloscope simplifies the procedure, and may prove necessary in some cases.
