PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATION

PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATION


Cautions for high voltage
High voltages from hundreds volts to tens of thousands volts are to be applied to the
electronic equipment such radio and radar devices. You do not face any danger during
normal operation, but sufficient cares are required for maintenance, inspection and
adjustment of their internal components. (Maintenance, check-up and adjustment of the
inside of the equipment are prohibited except by maintenance specialists.)
High voltages of tens of thousands volts are so dangerous as to bring a death from
electric shock, but even voltages of hundred volts may sometimes lead to a death from
electric shock. To prevent such an accident, make it a rule to turn off the power switch,
discharge capacitors with a wire surely earthed on an end make sure that internal parts
are no longer charged before you touch any parts inside these devices. At the time,
wearing dry cotton gloves ensures you further to prevent such danger. It is also a
necessary caution to put one of your hands in the pocket and not to use your both hands
at the same time.
It is also important to select a stable foothold always to prevent additional injuries once
you were shocked by electricity. If you were injured from electric shock, disinfect the
burn sufficiently and get it taken care of promptly.

What to do in case of electric shock


When finding a victim of electric shock, turn off the power source and earth the circuit
immediately. If it is impossible to turn off the circuit, move the victim away promptly
using insulators such as dry wood plate and cloth without touching the victim directly.
In case of electric shock, breathing may stop suddenly if current flows to the respiration
center in the brain. If the shock is not so strong, artificial respiration may recover
breathing. When shocked by electricity, the victim will come to look very bad with weak
pulse or without beating, resulting in unconsciousness and rigidity. In this case, it is
necessary to perform an emergency measure immediately.

FIRST-AID TREATMENTS

FIRST-AID TREATMENTS
First-aid treatments
As far as the victim of electric shock is not in dangerous condition, do not move him and
practice artificial respiration on him immediately. Once started, it should be continued
rhythmically.
1 Do not touch the victim confusedly as a result of the accident, but the rescuer
may also get an electric shock.
2 Turn off the power source calmly and move the victim away quietly from the
electric line.
3 Call a physician or ambulance immediately or ask someone to call a doctor.
4 Lay the victim on this back and loosen his necktie, clothes, belt, etc.
5 a. Examine the victim's pulse.
b. Examine his heartbeat bringing your ear close to his heart.
c. Examine his breathing bringing the back of your hand or your face close to
his face.
d. Check the size of the pupils of his eyes.
6 Open the victim's mouth and take out artificial teeth, cigarette or chewing
gum if any. Keep his mouth open, stretch his tongue and insert a towel or the
like in his mouth to prevent the tongue from suffocating. (If it is hard to open
his mouth due to set teeth, open it with a screwdriver and insert a towel in
this mouth.)
7 Then, wipe his mouth so that foaming mucus does not accumulate inside.

ii

FIRST-AID TREATMENTS

When pulse is beating but breathing has stopped


(Mouth-to-mouth respiration) Fig. 1
1 Tilt the victim's head back as far as this face looks back. (A pillow may be
inserted his neck.)
2 Push his jaw upward to open his throat wide (to spread his airway).
3 Pinch the victim's nostrils and take a deep breath, block his mouth
completely with yours and blow into his mouth strongly. Take a deep breath
again and blow into his mouth.
Continue this 10 to 15 times a minutes (blocking his nostrils).
4 Carefully watch that he has recovered his natural breathing and atop
practicing artificial respiration.
5 If it is difficult to open the victim's mouth, insert a rubber or vinyl tube into one of
his nostrils and blow into it blocking the other nostril and his mouth completely.
6 When the victim recovers consciousness, he may try to stand up suddenly,
but let him lie calmly and serve him with a cup of hot coffee or tea and keep
him warm and quiet. (Never give him alcoholic drinks.)

Method of mouth-to-mouth respiration by raising head


Fig. 1 Mouth-to mouth respiration
(1) Raise the victim's head. Support his
forehead with one of your hand and his
neck with the other hand.
When you tilt his head backward, the
victim, in most cases, opens his mouth
to the air. This makes mouth-to mouth
respiration easy.

(2) Cover his mouth as widely as possible


with yours and press your cheek against
his nose
Or, pinch his nostrils with your fingers to
prevent air from leaking.

(3) Blow into his lungs. Continue blowing


into his mouth until his breast swells.
Blow into his mouth as quickly as
possible for the first 10 times.

iii

FIRST-AID TREATMENTS

When both pulse and breathing have stopped


Perform the (Cardiac massage) Fig. 2 and (Mouth-to-mouth respiration) Fig. 1
When no pulse has come not to be felt, his pupils are open and no heartbeat is heard,
cardiac arrest is supposed to have occurred and artificial respiration must be performed.
1 Place your both hands, one hand on the other, on the lower one third area of
his breastbone and compress his breast with your elbows applying your
weight on his breast so that it is dented about 2cm (Repeat compressing his
breast 50 times or so a minutes). (Cardiac massage)
2 In case of one rescuer, Repeat cardiac massages about 15 times and blow
into his mouth 2 times quickly, and repeat this combination.
In case of two rescuers, one person repeats cardiac massages 15 times
while the other person blow into his mouth twice, and they shall repeat this
combination. (Perform the cardiac massage and mouth-to-mouth respiration)
3 Examine his pupils and his pulse sometimes. When the both have returned
to normal, stop the artificial respiration, serve him with a cup of hot coffee or
tea and keep him warm and calm while watching him carefully. (Never give
him alcoholic drinks.) Commit the victim to a medical specialist depending on
his condition. To let him recover from the mental shock, it is necessary for
persons concerned to understand his situations and the necessary treatment.

PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONS

DANGER
Never carry out internal inspection or repair work of the equipment
by users.
Inspection or repair work by unauthorized personnel may result in
fire hazard or electric shock.
For inspection and repair work of equipment components, consult
with our branch office, branch shop, sales office, or our distributor
in your district.
When conducting maintenance, make sure to turn the main power
off.
Failure to comply may result in electrocution.
Turn off the main power before cleaning the equipment. Especially
when a rectifier is used, make sure to turn it off since voltage is
still output from the rectifier even after the radar is turned off.
Failure to comply may result in equipment failure, electric shock or
serious injury.
When conducting maintenance work on the antenna, make sure to
turn its main power off.
Failure to comply may result in electrocution or injuries.
Make sure to turn on the antenna operation switch.
Failure to comply may result in injuries caused by physical contact
with the rotating antenna.

vii

PRECAUTIONS

WARNING
Never directly touch the internal components of the antenna,
receiver/transceiver, or indicator.
Direct contact with these high-voltage components may cause
electrocution. For maintenance, inspection, or adjustment of
equipment components, consult with our branch office, branch
shop, sales office, or our distributor in your district.
Do not get close to the radiant section of the antenna. It is a
rotating part, and it may cause injuries if it suddenly starts rotating
and consequently hits the body.
It is recommended that the radiant section be installed at a high
place such as on the roof of the wheelhouse, on the flying bridge,
on the trestle, or on the radar mast so that no one can get close to
it. When any work must be done on the antenna, make sure to turn
the antenna switch off.
Microwave radiation level:
Keep away from a scanner when it is transmitting.
The high level of microwave is radiated from the front face of the
scanner specified below. The microwave exposure at close range
could result in injuries (especially of the eyes).
50W/m2
10W/m2
2.5W/m2
NKE-2103
n/a
26cm
123cm
Make sure to install the antenna at a place higher than human
height.
Direct exposure to electromagnetic waves at close range will have
adverse effects on the human body.
Direct exposure to electromagnetic waves at close range will have
adverse effects on the human body. When it is necessary to get
close to the antenna for maintenance or inspection purposes,
make sure to turn the indicator power switch to "OFF" or "STBY."
Direct exposure to electromagnetic waves at close range will have
adverse effects on the human body.
When conducting maintenance work, make sure to turn off the
power and unplug the power connector J1 of the display unit so
that the power supply to the equipment is completely cut off.
Some equipment components can carry electrical current even
after the power switch is turned off, and conducting maintenance
work without unplugging the power connector may result in
electrocution, equipment failure, or accidents.
Do not touch the radiator. Even if the power is turned off, the
radiator may be rotated by the wind.

viii

PRECAUTIONS

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.
Always use the automatic tuning mode.
Use the manual tuning mode only when the automatic tuning
mode does not provide the best tuning state due to deterioration
of magnetron for example.
If sensitivity is set too high, unnecessary signals such as noises in
the receiver and false echoes increase to lower target visibility.
At the same time, if sensitivity is set too low, detection of targets
such as ships and dangerous objects may be hindered.
Therefore, sensitivity must always be set to an optimal level.
When using the sea clutter suppression function, never set the
suppression level too high canceling out all image noises from the
sea surface at close range. Detection of not only echoes from
waves but also targets such as other ships or dangerous objects
will become inhibited.
When using the sea clutter suppression function, make sure to
choose the most appropriate image noise suppression level.
When using the sea clutter suppression function, never set the
suppression level too high canceling out all image noises from the
rain or snow at close range. Detection of not only echoes from the
rain or snow but also targets such as other ships or dangerous
objects will become inhibited.
When using the sea clutter suppression function, make sure to
choose the most appropriate image noise suppression level.
Use the radar only as a navigation aid.
The final navigation decision must always be made by the operator
him/herself.
Making the final navigation decision based only on the radar
display may cause accidents such as collisions or running
aground.
Use the target tracking function (TT) only as a navigation aid. The
final navigation decision must always be made by the operator
him/herself.
Making the final navigation decision based only on the target
tracking function (TT) information may cause accidents.
The target tracking function (TT) information such as vector, target
numerical data, and alarms may contain some errors. Also, targets
that are not detected by the radar cannot be acquired or tracked.
Making the final navigation decision based only on the radar
display may cause accidents such as collisions or running
aground.

ix

PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION
Target Tracking Function Test is provided to test if the target
tracking function is operating normally. Thus, do not use the
function except when you test the target tracking function.
Note especially that, if this function is used during actual
navigation, simulated targets are displayed and may become
confused with other actual targets. Therefore, never use this
function during actual navigation.
When a large value is set as an association condition, a tracked
target near an AIS target is identified as the AIS target and may
thus disappear from the display.
For example, when a pilot vessel equipped with the AIS function (a
small target which is not a tracked target) goes near a cargo vessel
which is a tracked target without the AIS function, the tracked
target symbol for the cargo vessel may disappear.
Since these alarms may include some errors depending on the
target tracking conditions, the navigation officer himself should
make the final decision for ship operations such as collision
avoidance.
Making the final navigation decision based only on the alarm may
cause accidents such as collisions.
When setting an automatic acquisition zone, make sure to properly
adjust gain, sea-surface reflection suppression level, and
rain/snow reflection suppression level so that the optimal target
images are always on the radar screen. The automatic acquisition
zone alarm will not be activated for targets undetected by the
radar, and it may result in accidents such as collisions.
Any adjustments must be made by specialized service personnel.
Incorrect settings may result in unstable operation.
Do not make any adjustments during navigation. Failure to comply
may result in adverse effects on the radar function which may lead
to accidents or equipment failure.
Any adjustments must be made by specialized service personnel.
Failure to comply may result in accidents or equipment failure.
Make sure to shut off the main power before replacing parts.
Failure to comply may result in electrocution or equipment failure.
When replacing magnetrons, make sure to shut off the main power
and let the equipment stand for more than 5 minutes to discharge
the high-voltage circuit.
Failure to comply may result in electrocution.

PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION
Make sure to take off your watch when your hand must get close
to the magnetron.
Failure to comply may result in damage to the watch since the
magnetron is a strong magnet.
Make sure that two or more staff member work together when
replacing the LCD.
If only one person attempts to replace the LCD, he/she may drop it
and become injured.
Do not directly touch the inverter circuit of the LCD display with a
bare hand since high voltage temporarily remains in the circuit
even after the main power is shut off.
Failure to comply may result in electrocution.
When cleaning the display screen, do not wipe it too strongly with
a dry cloth. Also, do not use gasoline or thinner to clean the
screen.
Failure to comply will result in damage to the screen surface.

2.3 POWER ON/OFF

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.

Note:
Wait for about 2 seconds before turning on the power again.
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.
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.

Power On
1 Press the [STBY] key on the display unit to turn on the display unit.

The display unit is turned on, and the preheating time screen is displayed.

2.4 SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT

2.4 SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT


Sensitivity can be adjusted.
Adjust the noise on the display unit to achieve better observation state.

CAUTION
If sensitivity is set too high, unnecessary signals such as noises in
the receiver and false echoes increase to lower target visibility.
At the same time, if sensitivity is set too low, detection of targets
such as ships and dangerous objects may be hindered.
Therefore, sensitivity must always be set to an optimal level.

Noise Adjustment
1 Turn the [GAIN] control.

Turn the [GAIN] control clockwise to increase sensitivity.


Turn the [GAIN] control counterclockwise to decrease sensitivity.

The sensitivity adjustment screen appears when turning the [GAIN] control.
Sensitivity can be adjusted between 0 and 100.

When turning the [GAIN] control, the gain control indication is stretched or shrunk.

2-6

Chapter 2 OPERATIONS
SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT

[GAIN] Control
Turning the [GAIN] control clockwise increases receiving sensitivity and extends the
radar observation range. If the sensitivity is too high, the receiver noise increases
reducing the contrast between the targets and the background video. As a result, the
targets become obscure on the radar display. To observe densely crowded targets or
short-range targets, turn the [GAIN] control counterclockwise to reduce the sensitivity so
that the targets are easy to observe. However, be careful not to overlook important small
targets.

Switching to Manual/Automatic Mode


1 Hold down the [GAIN] control.

The sensitivity can be switched between manual and automatic modes.

CAUTION
When using the sea clutter suppression function, never set the
suppression level too high canceling out all image noises from the
sea surface at close range. Detection of not only echoes from
waves but also targets such as other ships or dangerous objects
will become inhibited.
When using the sea clutter suppression function, make sure to
choose the most appropriate image noise suppression level.

SEA CLUTTER SUPPRESSION

[SEA] Control
The sea clutter suppression function suppresses sea clutter returns by decreasing the
receiving sensitivity on a short range. Turn the [SEA] control clockwise to heighten the
effect of sea clutter suppression. However, be careful that excessive suppression causes
low signal-strength targets such as buoys and boats to disappear from the radar display.

Automatic Sea Clutter Suppression Function


Sea clutter suppression can be performed in accordance with the level of sea clutter. Use
this automatic mode when sea clutter returns vary in direction.
1 Hold down the [SEA] control.

2.7.7

TT OPERATIONS
The target tracking function calculates the course and speed of a target by automatically
tracking the target's move.

Note:
There are the following limitations on use of the target acquisition and target
tracking functions.
[I] Resolution between adjacent targets and swapping during automatic target
tracking
Depending on the particular distance and echo size, resolution between
adjacent targets during automatic target tracking usually ranges somewhere

between 0.03 to 0.05 NM. If multiple targets approach each other, resolution will

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

become about 0.05 NM and this may cause the system to regard them as one
target and thus to swap them or lose part of them. Such swapping or less of
targets may also occur if the picture of the target being tracked is affected by
rain/snow clutter returns or sea clutter returns or moves very close to land.
[II] Intensity of echoes and the target tracking function
The intensity of echoes and the tracking function have a correlationship, and
thus the target will be lost if no echoes are detected during seven scans in
succession.
If a lost target exists, therefore, radar gain must be increased to support
detection of the target. If, however, radar gain is increased too significantly, sea
clutter returns or other noise may be erroneously detected and tracked as a
target, and resultingly, a false alarm may be issued.
To execute accurate tracking, it becomes necessary to appropriately adjust the
[GAIN], [SEA] and [RAIN] controls of the radar so that the target to be acquired
and tracked id clearly displayed on the radar display.
Inappropriate settings of these adjustments reduce the reliability / accuracy of
automatic tracking.

2.15.1 COLLISION AVOIDANCE


Problems of Collision Avoidance in Navigation
Marine collision avoidance is one of the problems that have been recognized from of old.
Now, it will be described briefly who the collision avoidance is positioned among the
navigational aid problems.
The navigation pattern of all mobile craft constitutes a system with some closed loops
regardless of the media through which the mobile craft travels, whether air, water, the
boundary between air and water, or space. This pattern consists of two closed loops in
principle, one of which is a collision with another mobile craft and the other is a loop of
finding a right and safe way to reach a predeterminate destination.
Fig. 2.15-1 shows the conceptual diagram of navigation pattern by MR. E.W. Anderson.
The closed loop of collision avoidance is shown on the left side and the closed loop of
finding a right course on the right side.

Fig. 2.15-1 Navigation Pattern

2-120

Chapter 2 OPERATIONS
2.15 SETTING TT/AIS

Marine Accidents and Collisions


Among marine accidents, collision accidents have been highlighted as the tonnages and
speeds of ships become higher along with the increase in traffic at sea.
If a tanker carrying dangerous articles such as crude oil collides with any other vessel,
then not only the vessels involved with the accident but other vessels in the vicinity, port
facilities, inhabitants in the coastal area as well as marine resources may also suffer
immeasurable damages and troubles.
Collision accidents have a high percentage of the marine accidents that have occurred in
recent years. To cope with these problems, any effective measures are needed and some
equipment to achieve collision avoidance requirements have been developed at rapid strides.

Basic Concept of Collision Avoidance


There are two aspects in collision avoidance: collision prediction and avoidance.
Collision prediction is to predict that two or more vessels will happen to occupy the
same point at the same time, while collision avoidance is to maneuver vessels not to
occupy the same point at the same time.
In practical operation of vessels, a spot of collision has to be deemed to be a single point

Approach).In collision prediction, the time to be taken until a ship reaches the CPA is
defined as a TCPA (Time to CPA). Fig. 2.15-2 shows a diagram called "Collision
Triangle".

but a closed zone. This closed zone is conceptually defined as a CPA (Closest Point of

Chapter 2 OPERATIONS
2.15 SETTING TT/AIS

Relative Vector and True Vector


From two points of view, collision prediction and avoidance, it is necessary to obtain the
relative vector of other ship for prediction and the true vector of other ship for collision
avoidance in order to grasp other ship's aspect.
The relationship between the relative vector and true vector is shown in Fig. 2.15-3.
Furthermore, the meanings of both vectors are described.
Both rough CPA and TCPA can be obtained easily from the relative speed vector of
other ship. This method has an advantage that the risks of collision with all other ships
within the radar range can be seen at a glance. On the other hand, the course and speed
of other ship can easily be obtained from its true speed vector, enabling other ship's
aspect to be seen at a glance. Thus, the aspects of other ships (transverse, outsail, parallel
run, reverse run, etc. ) as described in the act of prevention of collision at sea can be
readily grasped. If there is a risk of collision with other ship, the operator can determine
which rule to be applied and how to operate own ship.

Radar and Collision Avoidance


Radar is still playing an important roll for collision prevention and positioning.
A plotter is used to further enhance the radar functionality. The plotter is capable of
plotting other positions of other ships in 3 to 6 minute intervals to monitor their
movement. The plots of other ships represent their tracks relative to own ship, and it is
shown whether there is a risk of collision, namely CPA and TCPA can be obtained. This
method using a plotter is fairly effective, but the number of target ship, which are
manually plotted, is limited and it takes several minutes to measure those.

TRUE AND FALSE ECHOES ON DISPLAY


3.1 RADAR WAVE WITH THE HORIZON

Chapter 3

TRUE AND FALSE ECHOES ON


DISPLAY
The radar operator has a role of interpreting the radar displays to provide his best aid in
maneuvering the ship.
For this purpose, the operator has to observe the radar displays after fully understanding
the advantages and disadvantages that the radar has.
For better interpretation of radar display, it is important to gain more experiences by
operating the radar equipment in fair weathers and comparing the target ships watched
with the naked eyes and their echoes on the radar display.
The radar is mainly used to monitor the courses of own ship and other ships in open seas,
to check buoys and other nautical marks when entering a port, to measure own ships
position in the coastal waters relative to the bearings and ranges of the shore or islands
the radar display. Various types of radar display will be explained below.

3.1 RADAR WAVE WITH THE HORIZON


Radar beam radiation has the nature of propagating nearly along the curved surface of
the earth. The propagation varies with the property of the air layer through which the
radar beam propagates. In the normal propagation, the distance (D) of the radar wave to
the horizon is approximately 10% longer than the distance to the optical horizon. The
distance (D) is given by the following formula:
D=2.23(h1 + h2)(nm)
h1: Height (m) of radar scanner above sea level
h2: Height (m) of a target above sea level
Fig. 3.1-1 is a diagram for determining the maximum detection range of a target that is
limited by the curve of the earth surface in the normal propagation.

Chapter 3 TRUE AND FALSE ECHOES ON DISPLAY


3.1 RADAR WAVE WITH THE HORIZON

When the height of own ship's scanner is 10 m for instance,


(a) A target that can be detected at the radar range of 64 nm on the radar display is
required to have a height of 660 m or more.
(b) If the height of a target is 10 m, the radar range has to be approx. 15 nm.
However, the maximum radar range at which a target can be detected on the
radar display depends upon the size of the target and the weather conditions, that
is, the radar range may increase or decrease depending upon those conditions.

3-2

Chapter 3

TRUE AND FALSE ECHOES ON DISPLAY


3.2 REFLECTION FROM TARGET

3.2 REFLECTION FROM TARGET


The signal intensity reflected from a target depends not only on the height and size of the
target but also on its material and shape. The echo intensity from a higher and larger
target is not always higher in general.
In particular, the echo from a coast line is affected by the geographic conditions of the
coast. If the coast has a very gentle slop, the echo from a mountain of the inland appears
on the radar display, as shown in Fig. 3.2-1. Therefore, the distance to the coast line
should be measured carefully.

Chapter 3 TRUE AND FALSE ECHOES ON DISPLAY


3.3 SEA CLUTTER AND RAIN AND SNOW CLUTTER

3.3 SEA CLUTTER AND RAIN AND SNOW


CLUTTER
In addition to the echo required for observing ships and land radar video image also
includes unnecessary echo, such as reflection from waves on the sea surface and
reflection from rain and snow. Reflection from the sea surface is called "sea clutter," and
reflection from rain and snow is called "rain and snow clutter," and those spurious waves
must be eliminated by the clutter rejection function.

3.3.1

SEA CLUTTER
Sea clutter appears as an image radiating outwardly from the center of the radar display
and changing depending on the size and the shape of waves. Generally, as waves become
larger, image level of the sea clutter is intensified and the clutter far away is also
displayed. When waves are large and the sea clutter level is high, it is difficult to
distinguish sea clutter from a small boat whose reflection intensity is weak.

3.3.2

RAIN AND SNOW CLUTTER


Rain and snow clutter is a video image that appears in a location where rain or snow is
falling. The image changes according to the amount of rain (or the amount of snowfall).
As precipitation increases, the image of rain and snow clutter becomes intensified on the
radar display, and in the case of localized heavy rain, an image similar to the image
indicating land is displayed in some cases. Furthermore, because radio waves tend to
attenuate due to rain and snow, the ability to detect a target in the rain and snow clutter
or a target beyond the rain and snow clutter may decrease

3.3.3

COPING WITH SEA CLUTTER AND RAIN AND SNOW


CLUTTER
When the weather is bad and the ocean is rough, reducing the pulse width will reduce the
influence by spurious waves, and also the spurious wave rejection function effectively
works; therefore, the use of short pulse is effective when the weather is bad. By using
image processing functions "3Scan COREL" to "5Scan COREL", it is expected that
spurious waves are further suppressed. Since optimal settings for those items can be
automatically made by using the function mode, it is recommended that STORM or
RAIN be used by selecting the function mode when the weather is bad. For details of the
function mode, see Section "2.14 FUNCTION KEY SETTINGS".
However, these functions may make some targets invisible, particularly targets with
higher speeds.

Chapter 3

TRUE AND FALSE ECHOES ON DISPLAY


3.4 FALSE ECHOES

3.4 FALSE ECHOES


The radar observer may be embarrassed with some echoes that do not exist actually.
These false echoes appear by the following causes that are well known:

3.4.1

SHADOW
When the radar scanner is installed near a funnel or mast, the echo of a target that exists
in the direction of the funnel or mast cannot appear on the radar display because the
radar beam is reflected on the funnel or mast. Whether there are some false echoes due to
shadows can be checked monitoring the sea clutter returns, in which there may be a part
of weak or no returns. Such shadows appear always in the same directions, which the
operator should have in mind in radar operation.

3.4.2

SIDE LOBE EFFECT


A broken-line circular arc may appear at the same range as the main lobe of the radar
beam on the radar display. This type of false echo can easily be discriminated when a
target echo appears isolated.(See Fig. 3.4-1.)

3.4.3

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Fig. 3.4-1

FALSE ECHO BY SECONDARY REFLECTION


When a target exists near own ship, two echoes from the single target may appear on the
radar display.
One of those echoes is the direct echo return from the target and the other is the
secondary reflection return from a mast or funnel that stands in the same direction as
shown in Fig. 3.4-2.

3.4.4

FALSE ECHO BY MULTIPLE REFLECTION


When there is a large structure or ship with a high vertical surface near own ship as
shown in Fig. 3.4-3, multiple refection returns may appear on the radar display. These
echoes appear in the same intervals, of which the nearest echo is the true echo of the
target.

Fig. 3.4-3

3.4.5

SECOND TIME ECHOES


The maximum radar detection range depends upon the height of the scanner and the
height of a target as described in the Section "3.1 RADAR WAVE WITH THE
HORIZON". If a so-called "duct" occurs on the sea surface due to a certain weather
condition, however, the radar beam may propagate to a abnormally long distance, at
which a target may be detected by the radar.
For instance, assuming that the pulse length is MP3 (on the repetition frequency of 1400
Hz), the first pulse is reflected from a target at about 58 NM or more and received during
the next pulse repetition time. In this case, a false echo (second time echo) appears at a
position that is about 58 NM shorter than the actual distance. If the false echo appears at
5 NM on the radar display, the true distance of the target is 5+58=63 NM. On the pulse

3-6

Chapter 3

TRUE AND FALSE ECHOES ON DISPLAY


3.4 FALSE ECHOES

length is SP1 (on the repetition frequency of 2250 Hz), a false echo may appear at a
position that is about 36 NM shorter than the actual distance.
This type of false echo can be discriminated by changing over the range scale (the
repetition frequency), because the distance of the target changes accordingly.
If second time echo is appeared, the use of Economy mode in PRF menu is effective.
Otherwise, Stagger Trigger menu set to on. (Refer to Section "4.6 SCANNER" of
INSTALLATION MANUAL.)

3.4.6

RADAR INTERFERENCE
When another radar equipment using the same frequency band as that on own ship is
near own ship, a radar interference pattern may appear on the radar display. This
interference pattern consists of a number of spots which appear in various forms. In
many cases, these spots do not always appear at the same places, so that they can be
discriminated from the target echoes.(See Fig. 3.4-4.)

Fig. 3.4-4

If radar equipment causing an interference pattern and this radar are of the same model,
their transmitting repetition frequency is nearly the same. As a result, interference
patterns may be displayed concentrically.
In this case, the interference patterns cannot be eliminated by using only the interference
reflector function, so press the [TX/PRF] key several times to fine-tune the transmitting
repetition frequency.
An interference suppressing effect can be heightened by applying a different transmitting
repetition frequency to the interference pattern source radar and this radar.

3.5 DISPLAY OF RADAR TRANSPONDER (SART)

3.5 DISPLAY OF RADAR TRANSPONDER


(SART)
The SART (Search and rescue Radar Transponder) is a survival device authorized by the
GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System), which is used for locating
survivors in case that a distress accident occurs at sea. The SART is designed to operate
in the 9 GHz frequency band. When receiving the 9 GHz radar signal (interrogating
signal) transmitted from the radar equipment on a rescue ship or search aircraft, the
SART transmit a series of response signals to inform the distress position to the rescue
and search party.
Perform the following settings to display SART on the radar screen.
1. Range: 6 NM or 12 NM
2. [SEA] control: Turning to the minimum position (counterclockwise fully)
3. Automatic sea clutter suppression function: Off
4. Tuning function: Off (for less clutter)
5. IR: Off
6. Processing: Off

Note:
When performing the settings 1 to 6 above to display the SART signal, targets
around own ship will disappear from the radar display. So it is necessary to
exercise full surveillance over the conditions around own ship by visual watch in
order to avoid any collision or stranding.
If two or more sets of radar equipment are installed on own ship, use one set of
9 GHz band radar for detection of the SART signal and operate others as
normal radars for avoiding collision, monitoring targets around own ship, and
checking on own ship's position and avoidance of stranding.
After the detection of SART signal, the radar adjustment is required for general
navigation.

Precautions in Mounting the Cover


When the cover is removed for regular checkup and replacement of parts and refitted after
such work, the procedures of fastening bolts shall be taken with the following precautions:
The proper fastening torque of the fitting bolts (M8) is 1176 to 1470 Ncm (120 to
150kgfcm) (which makes the inside water-tight and protects the packings against
permanent compressive strain). The packings start producing from the cover at a
torque of approximately 1470Ncm (150kgfcm). Do not fasten the bolts with a
torque exceeding the specified value. Otherwise, the screws may be broken.
Use an offset wrench of 11 mm 13 mm or a double-ended wrench of 13 mm 17
mm (not longer than 200 mm).
Screw all the bolts by hand first to prevent them playing, then fasten them evenly in
order not to cause one-sided fastening. (Fasten the bolts with 25% of the required
torque at the first step.)
*: Fasten the bolts in the diagonal order.

Note:
If the radiator front face (radiation plane) is soiled with smoke, salt, dust, paint or
birds droppings, wipe it with a piece of soft cloth wetted with alcohol or water
and try to keep it clean at all times. Otherwise, radar beam radiation may
attenuate or reflect on it, resulting in deterioration of radar performance.
Never use solvents of gasoline, benzine, trichloroethylene and ketone for
cleaning.
Otherwise, the radiation plane may deteriorate.
Check up and clean the radiator.

REPLACEMENT OF MAJOR PARTS

4.4 REPLACEMENT OF MAJOR PARTS


The system includes parts that need periodic replacement. The parts should be replaced
as scheduled. Use of parts over their service life can cause a system failure.

WARNING
Direct exposure to electromagnetic waves at close range will have
adverse effects on the human body. When it is necessary to get
close to the antenna for maintenance or inspection purposes,
make sure to turn the indicator power switch to "OFF" or "STBY."
Direct exposure to electromagnetic waves at close range will have
adverse effects on the human body.
When conducting maintenance work, make sure to turn off the
power and unplug the power connector J1 of the display unit so
that the power supply to the equipment is completely cut off.
Some equipment components can carry electrical current even
after the power switch is turned off, and conducting maintenance
work without unplugging the power connector may result in
electrocution, equipment failure, or accidents.

CAUTION

4
INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Make sure to shut off the main power before replacing parts.
Failure to comply may result in electrocution or equipment failure.
When replacing magnetrons, make sure to shut off the main power
and let the equipment stand for more than 5 minutes to discharge
the high-voltage circuit.
Failure to comply may result in electrocution.
Make sure to take off your watch when your hand must get close
to the magnetron.
Failure to comply may result in damage to the watch since the
magnetron is a strong magnet.
Do not directly touch the inverter circuit of the LCD display with a
bare hand since high voltage temporarily remains in the circuit
even after the main power is shut off.
Failure to comply may result in electrocution.

4.5 FAULT FINDING


In case of semiconductor circuits, it is deemed that there are few cases in which the used
semiconductor devices have inferior quality or performance deterioration except due to
insufficient design or inspection or by other external and artificial causes. In general, the
relatively many causes are disconnection in a high-value resistor due to moisture, a
defective variable resistor and poor contact of a switch or relay.
Some troubles are caused by defective parts, imperfect adjustment (such as tuning
adjustment) or insufficient service (such as poor cable contact). It will also be effective
to check and readjust these points.
