3.1 Operation Flow

3.1.1 Power ON and Start the System

CAUTION

A malfunction may occur if the power in the ship is instantaneously interrupted during operation of the radar.

In this case, the power should be turned on again.

Attention z Wait for about 2 seconds before turning on the power again. z Immediately after the radar is installed, at start of the system after it has not been used for a long time, or after the magnetron is replaced, preheat the equipment in the standby state for 20 to 30 minutes before setting it into the transmit state. z If the preheating time is short, the magnetron causes sparks, resulting in its unstable oscillation.

Start transmission on a short-pulse range and change the range to the longer pulse ranges in turn.

If the transmission is unstable in the meantime, immediately place the system back into the standby state and maintain it in the standby state for 5 to 10 minutes before restarting the operation.

Repeat these steps until the operation is stabilized.

3.9.3 Overview of Function Operations (User Function Setting)

The following outlines the operation of each function selected from the function setting menu.

Procedures 1 Press the [FUNC] key for 2 seconds.

The User Function Setting menu will appear.

Specify the number for the function for which the settings are to be changed.

The following are the operation overviews of each function setting item.

[Page 1] [1] Mode

• Selects the function name to be indicated at the lower left of the display when the function is selected.

• When the setting is changed back to the factory setting, the initial value of the selected mode is called.

• The following 11 modes are provided.

Coast : Use this mode to monitor a relatively short range, for example, bays and coasts where many boats and ships are running. (Importance is attached to resolution.)

Deepsea : Use this mode to monitor a relatively long range, for example, the open

sea. (Importance is attached to long-range gain.)

Fishnet : Use this mode to detect small targets such as fishnets of round haul netters hidden by sea clutter returns. (Importance is attached to sea clutter suppression, and gain to moving targets lowers.)

Storm : Use this mode when many rain / snow clutter returns or sea clutter returns

Calm are detected in stormy weather. (Importance is attached to rain / snow clutter and sea clutter suppression, and gain slightly lowers.)

: Use this mode when only a few rain / snow clutter returns or sea clutter returns are detected.

Rain

Bird

Long

: Use this mode when sea clutter is not strong but rain / snow clutter is strong.

(Importance is attached to rain / snow clutter suppression, and gain slightly lowers.)

: Use this mode to detect flocks of sea birds.

: Use this mode to monitor utmost distances in the broad ocean.

Buoy : Use this mode to detect small targets like radio buoys in areas outside the sea clutter area. (This mode displays targets of which detection probability is low.)

User1 : General mode used when the nine modes above are not applicable.

User2 : General mode used when the nine modes above are not applicable.

[Page 1] [2] IR (Interference Rejection)

• Same function as IR described in Section 3.4.1.

3

3-96

[Page 1] [3] Process (Video Process)

• Same function as Process described in Section 3.4.4.

[Page 1] [4] Target Enhance

• Same function as Target Enhance described in Section 3.4.3.

[Page 1] [5] Auto STC / FTC (Auto Sea / Rain)

• Detects unwanted waves such as rain / snow clutter and sea clutter and automatically suppresses them.

• When the sea state or weather changes, this function automatically performs suppression processing in accordance with the situation.

• Suppression processing is not full automatic, and requires the operator to adjust the afterimages of unwanted waves.

• To adjust the afterimage of sea clutter, use the [SEA] dial.

• To adjust the afterimage of rain / snow clutter, use the [RAIN] dial.

• In areas where the density of unwanted waves is low, unwanted waves may remain being judged as targets. Thus, use the automatic clutter suppression mode together with the video process mode.

• Characteristics of the automatic clutter suppression function.

Off

AUTO Sea

AUTO Sea/Rain

: Disables the automatic clutter suppression function.

Select off when rain / snow clutter and sea clutter are not strong or when the ship is in a bay.

: Automatically detects the strength of sea clutter, and performs the most suitable sea clutter suppression processing.

Even when the strength of sea clutter varies depending on the wind direction, AUTO Sea performs the most suitable suppression processing.

Land like islands can be displayed naturally.

Since rain clouds outside sea clutter areas are recognized as land, there is no effect of suppressing rain / snow clutter.

: Along with AUTO Sea, AUTO Rain automatically detects the strength of rain / snow clutter, and performs the most suitable rain

/ snow clutter suppression processing.

When rain clouds are scattered about, AUTO Rain performs rain

/ snow clutter suppression processing for only the rain-cloud areas.

Since land is recognized as rain clouds, land videos become obscure.

[Page 2] [1] - [7] Pulse Length

• Sets the standard transmitter pulse length in each range.

• When the range is called, the pulse range is used.

[Page 3] [1] - [7] Process Setting

• Operation is the same as that of the Process Setting menu described in Section 3.8.1.

3-97


[Page 4] [1] - [7] Trails Setting

• Same functions as in the Trails Setting menu described in Section 3.8.2.

[Page 5] [1] Gain Offset

• Corrects gain while the function mode is called.

• Since the displayed noise level varies depending on the combination of the video process mode and the interference rejection level, gain needs fine adjustment for always obtaining the highest level.

• The gain correction function saves the correction value set by the gain adjust in each function mode, so it can obtain the highest gain without the gain adjust being operated when the function mode is changed.

• To set high gain, set a value on the “+” side.

• To set low gain, set a value on the “-” side.

• When the radar interference rejection level is increased, the noise level is lowered. Thus, set a gain correction value to the “+” side.

• When the video process mode 3Scan CORREL , 4Scan CORREL , or 5Scan CORREL is used, the noise level is lowered. Thus, set a gain correction value to the “+” side.

• When the video process mode Remain or Peak Hold is used, noise is hard to disappear.

Thus, set a gain correction value to the “-” side.

[Page 5] [2] PRF

• Same function as in the Pulse Repetition Frequency described in 3.8.3.

[Page 5] [3] Small Buoy Detection

• When the automatic sea clutter suppression function is used, this mode is used to process signals for detecting small targets.
