1.2.1 How to turn the power ON/OFF


Note: Use the [ ] key on the control unit to turn the radar on or off. A PC inside the
equipment controls the radar functions. Do not turn off the power from the breaker;
loss of data can occur, or the radar may not function correctly. If the radar is not oper-
ating correctly, contact your dealer for instructions. Lost data cannot be restored. Back
up important data.
1. Open the cover of the [ ] key at the left corner of the control unit to turn on the
radar. When the slide switch of the monitor unit (MU-190HD or MU-231) is ON
(factory default), power is also applied to the monitor unit. If the slide switch is off,
turn on the monitor unit with its /BRILL key. After the power is turned on, the
splash screen, equipment name screen and stand-by screen appear while the
magnetron warms. The warming takes approximately 1:30 to warm the magne-
tron. The time remaining is counted down at the screen center. [ST-BY] appears
at the completion of the countdown. The radar can now transmit. Left click inside
the caution message window to erase the message.

1.7 Orientation Modes


This radar has six orientation modes: Head up, head up TB, stern up, course up, north
up and true motion. Orientation modes except the head up and stern up require a
heading signal. The true motion mode requires position from a GPS navigator. The
true-view display feature, active in the head up, head up TB and stern up modes, pro-
vides smooth rotation of the radar echo with the movement of your vessel.

When a gyrocompass is connected


Gyrocompass (synchro or stepper type) readings and heading values in the informa-
tion display area of this equipment need to be matched accurately. (Setting: Main
menu→[ECHO]→[GC-10]. See section 2.12.1.)

1.7.1 How to select an orientation mode


Press the MODE key to select an orientation mode. The name of the current orienta-
tion mode appears in the orientation mode box at the top left side of the screen.

Orientation mode box

Note 1: When the heading signal is lost, the red flashing message "SENSOR ERROR
GYRO" appears in the alarm box. The heading indication in the information display
area becomes "xxx°, the north mark disappears and the head up mode is selected.
After the heading signal is restored, select the orientation mode with the MODE key.
Note 2: The operator can deactivate unwanted orientation modes. (See
section 2.11.2.)

1-8
1. OPERATION

1.7.2 Description of orientation modes


Relative motion
In the relative motion display, the own ship position is fixed on the screen to see the
relative motion of targets.

• Head up
North marker Heading line
The head up mode is a display in which the
line that connects the own ship and the top
of the display indicates heading. This mode
displays targets as if they are seen from the
bridge. Use this mode to navigate through
narrow channels and crowded waters. The
short line on the bearing scale is the north
marker, which indicates heading sensor
north.
• Head up TB (True Bearing)
The radar echoes are shown in the same
method as the head up mode. The difference from the normal head up presentation
is the orientation of the bearing scale. The bearing scale is heading sensor stabi-
lized, and the scale rotates according to the heading sensor signal. Requires a gy-
rocompass. If the gyrocompass fails, the bearing scale returns to the state of the
head up mode.
• Stern up
The stern up mode rotates the head up mode picture 180° to put the ship's stern at
the top of the display always.
• Course up
The course up mode is an azimuth-stabilized display in which the line that connects
the display center with the top of the display indicates planned course (namely, own
ship’s previous heading just before this mode is selected).
The target echoes are painted at their measured distances and in their directions
relative to the planned course, which is kept at the 0-degree position. The heading
line moves in accordance with yawing and course change. Use this mode to prevent
blurring of the picture during a course change.

1. OPERATION

True motion
Fixed targets (for example, landmass) do not move and own ship moves on the
screen. When own ship reaches a point equivalent to 75% of the radius of the display,
own ship position is automatically reset to a point of 75% radius opposite to the exten-
sion of the heading line passing through the display center to continue moving on the
screen. Own ship's position can be automatically moved to 75% radius opposite to the
course at any time while in the true motion.

1.9 How to Adjust the Gain


To properly display the targets always, adjust the gain according to the signal strength.
Gain can be adjusted automatically or manually.

1. Press the GAIN control to select the method of gain


adjustment, [AUTO] or [MAN].
2. For automatic adjustment, adjust the GAIN control
according to sea condition (adjustment range: -50 to
+50). For manual adjustment, adjust the GAIN con-
trol to tune the sensitivity (adjustment range: 0 to 100).
For manual adjustment, adjust the GAIN control so that the background noise is just
visible on the screen. If the gain level is too low, weak echoes may be missed. On the
other hand, if the gain level is too high, the strong background noise can hide weak
targets.

1.10 How to Reduce Sea Clutter


Sea clutter, caused by strong reflections from the sea surface, occurs around own ship
in bad weather. Strong sea clutter can prevent identification of targets on the screen.
To reduce the sea clutter, use the sea clutter control, automatically or manually.

Sea clutter appears at Sea clutter suppressed.


the center of the
screen.

1. Press the A/C SEA control to select the adjustment method, [AUTO] or [MAN].
The control is automatically set at best level in automatic operation.

2. For automatic adjustment, adjust the A/C SEA control according to sea conditions
(adjustment range: -50 to +50).
3. For manual adjustment, adjust the A/C SEA control while you look at the echoes
on the screen (adjustment range: 0 to 100). Do not over-adjust the control - ap-
proaching targets can be missed. Set the level so that weak sea clutter appears
on the screen. Set the sea clutter rejection level at 0 (the minimum) if there is no
sea clutter on the display.

1. OPERATION

1.11 How to Reduce Rain Clutter


The radio waves transmitted from the antenna return from rain and snow as “rain clut-
ter”. When the rain clutter hides the targets, use the A/C RAIN control to reduce the
rain clutter. The A/C RAIN control operates like the sea clutter control but it is effective
not only on near ranges but longer ranges as well. The higher the setting, the greater
the rain clutter reduction.

Rain clutter A/C RAIN adjusted; rain


(starboard direction) clutter suppressed.

1) Press the A/C RAIN control to select [RAIN MAN].


2) Adjust the A/C RAIN control while you look at the screen. (Setting range: 0 to 100)

1.12 How to Automatically Reduce Sea and Rain


Clutters
When sea and rain clutters cannot be reduced correctly with their related controls,
press the A/C RAIN control to select [RAIN AUTO] to activate the unwanted echo sup-
pressor.

Comments on use
• Echoes that cover wide areas (like land and islands) can become smaller when the
unwanted echo suppressor is active.
• [RAIN AUTO] can lower the strength level of targets hidden in strong sea or rain re-
turns. If this occurs, adjust the rain and sea clutter controls individually to reduce
clutter.

1. OPERATION

1.13 How to Temporarily Erase the Heading Line


The heading line is displayed in all display modes and shows your heading. The head-
ing line appears above own ship (0°) in the head up mode and the head up TB mode.
The heading line appears under the own ship position (180°) in the stern up mode. In
the north up, true motion and course up modes, the heading line moves according to
the movement of the vessel. The thickness and color of the heading line can be
changed in the [MARK] menu. (See page 2-33.)

If the heading line hides small targets, hold the HL OFF key to erase the heading line.
The heading line and markers on the radar screen are erased while this key is held.
Release the key to show the heading line and markers.

1.14 Cursor Position


The cursor measures the range and bearing from your vessel to a target and finds the
latitude and longitude position of a target. Put the cursor on a target to display cursor
information in the cursor data boxes, at the top right side of the screen. [---] is dis-
played when the cursor is not within the display area.

1.15 How to Measure the Range to a Target


There are three methods to measure the range to a target: fixed range rings, cursor
(see section 1.14) and VRM (Variable Range Marker).

1.15.1 How to measure the range to a target with the fixed range rings
Use the fixed range rings to get a rough estimate of the range to a target. The rings
are the concentric solid circles about own ship, or the sweep origin. The number of
rings is automatically calculated by the selected range scale and their interval is dis-
played in the range box at the top left side of the screen. Count the number of rings
between the center of the display and the target. Check the range ring interval and
judge the distance of the echo from the inner edge of the nearest ring.

Fixed range ring interval

Note 1: The number of fixed range rings is calculated according to the range selected.
However, the number can be selected manually. (See section 2.11.1.)
Note 2: The rings can be activated or deactivated from the fixed range ring interval
indication. Right click the indication as required.

1.15.2 How to measure the range to a target with a VRM


There are two VRMs, VRM1 and VRM2. The rings have dashed lines to identify them
from the fixed range rings. VRM1 has shorter dashed lines than the VRM2.

1. Press the VRM ON key to select and display a VRM. The arrow is in the VRM box
related to the VRM selected. The VRM with the arrow mark operates the VRM ro-
tary control.
2. Adjust the VRM rotary control to put the VRM on the inner edge of the target. Read
the VRM range in the VRM box at the bottom right side of the screen.
3. Press the VRM OFF key to erase a VRM. The VRM that is erased depends on
VRM status.
• When both VRM1 and VRM2 are displayed and one is active, the inactive VRM
is erased.
• When one of VRM1 or VRM2 is displayed, the displayed VRM is erased.

1.16 How to Measure the Bearing to a Target


Use the Electronic Bearing Lines (EBL) to take the bearing of targets. There are two
EBLs, No.1 and No.2. Each EBL is a straight dashed line that extends from the own
ship position. You can identify the EBLs by the different length of their dashes. The
dashes of EBL1 are shorter than those of EBL2.

changed on ranges other than long ranges to suit conditions. For long range detection,
select a long pulse length. When resolution is important, select a short pulse length.
A short pulse length can also be used to reject rain clutter.

1. Put the cursor on the pulse length box at the top left side of the screen.

Pulse length box

2. Left click to shorten the pulse length or right click to lengthen the pulse length.
Each click switches the available pulse lengths in the current range scale.

1.19 How to Off-center the Display


The own ship position, or sweep origin, can be off-centered to expand the view field
without changing 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 the true motion mode, the
sweep origin can be off-centered to the cursor position within 50% of the range.

Note: This function is not available on the 96 NM and 120 NM ranges.


1. Put the cursor on the position to make the screen center.
2. Press the OFF CENTER key. Own ship position moves to the cursor position.
3. To quit the off-center display, press the OFF CENTER key. The own ship position
returns to the screen center (in the head up mode).

1.20 How to Reduce Radar


Interference
Radar interference can occur when your vessel
is in the area of another radar that operates in
the same frequency band (3 GHz) as own ra-
dar. The interference is seen on the screen as
a number of bright spikes either in irregular pat-
tern or as dotted lines that extend from the cen-
ter of the edge of the picture. When this type of Interference from other ship's radar
interference appears on the screen, use the in-
terference rejector.

1. Put the cursor on the indication to the right of [IR] at the top
left side of the screen.
2. Left click to select the level of interference rejection (Off →1
→ 2 → 3). The larger the value, the stronger the interfer-
ence rejection. The strongest level can erase weak echoes.
Turn off the interference rejector when there is no interference to prevent loss of small
targets near own ship.

1-18
1. OPERATION

1.21 Echo Stretch


The echo stretch feature enlarges targets in the range and bearing directions to make
them easier to see. There are three levels of echo stretch, 1, 2 and 3. It is recommend-
ed to use level 2 in everyday use.

Note: The echo stretch enlarges not only small targets, but also sea and rain clutters
and radar interference. For this reason, make sure these types of interference are cor-
rectly reduced before you activate the echo stretch function.
1. Put the cursor on the indication to the right of [ES] at the top
left side of the screen.
2. While you look at the screen, left click to select the required
setting (OFF → 1 → 2 → 3).
• OFF: Echo stretch deactivated.
• 1: Smooths echoes.
• 2: Stretches echoes 1.2 to 1.5 times in the bearing direction.
• 3: Stretches echoes in the range and bearing directions.

1.22 Echo Averaging


The sea clutter control may also reduce necessary targets. If this occurs, the echo av-
eraging feature can reduce sea clutter without erasing targets. Heading and position
date are required. Before using echo averaging, use the sea clutter control to reduce
sea clutter, leaving weak echoes on the display

Note 1: Do not use the echo averaging function in heavy pitching and rolling, to avoid
loss of targets.
Note 2: High speed targets are difficult to detect when the echo averaging is active.
1. Put the cursor on the indication to the right of [EAV] at the
top left side of the screen.
2. Left click to select the required setting, among OFF → 1 →
2 → 3 → 4 → 5.
• [Off]: Disable echo averaging.
• [1], [2]: Detect targets in sea clutter. EAV2 is more effective compared with
EAV1 for target detection in strong sea clutter. However, detecting high speed
targets is more difficult for EAV2 compared to EAV1. Use 1 or 2 according to
conditions. To detect both targets in sea clutter and targets moving at high
speed, use echo averaging together with the wiper feature.
• [3]: Detect weak targets, such as floats, in stormy weather.
• [4]: Detect weak targets, such as floats, in stormy weather. To use this setting,
set the equipment as follows:
• Set the interference rejector to 3. This raises the sensitivity against weak targets.
• Manually set the gain to 75.
• Manually adjust the A/C SEA control to erase red level echoes.
• Manually adjust the A/C RAIN control to reduce false echoes from the radar beam
and sidelobes.
• [5]: Detect high speed targets and unstable echoes.

1. OPERATION

1.23 Echo Trails


The trails of the targets can be displayed in the form of synthetic afterglow. Target
trails are shown either relative or true and may be sea or ground stabilized. True mo-
tion trails require a compass signal and position and speed data.

1.23.1 How to start the echo trails


Set the trail time to start the echo trail. Trail time selection options are based on the
setting for [TRAIL TIME]. See "Echo trail attributes" on page 2-24 to adjust the setting.
The available options and their TRAIL TIME setting are listed in the table below.

TRAIL TIME Setting options


[SHORT] 15 s, 30 s, 45 s, 1 m to 20 m (in one minute intervals), 30 m, 40 m,
50 m, 60 m, Continuous
[LONG] 1 hr to 12 hr (in one hour intervals), 24 hr, 48 hr, Continuous.
1. Press the ECHO TRAIL key to select the required trail time. The trail time appears
in the trail box at the bottom right side of the screen. The longer the trail time, the
longer the echo trail.

Elasped time

played until 6 minutes has elapsed.
2. To stop trails temporarily, left click [On] in the trail box to remove the trails from
the screen. The indication changes to [Off]. The trails are removed from the
screen but continue internally.
Note 1: Color, gradation and level can be changed from the [TRAIL] menu. (See
section 2.11.5.)
Note 2: To delete and restart all the trails, do one of the following:
- Long-press the ECHO TRAIL key.
- Long left click [TRAIL], [On] or the trail time in the trail box.

1. OPERATION

1.23.2 Echo trails mode


The reference for trails can be relative or true.

Relative echo trail: Relative trails show other ships' movement with reference to own
ship. Relative trails are useful to see relative movements to avoid collision, since own
ship's movements and other ships' movements are combined. On the other hand, it
also shows trails of fixed targets, which to make it difficult to see depending on loca-
tions.

True echo trail: True trails show other ships' true movements in accordance with their
speeds and courses regardless of own ship's movement. The trails of stationary tar-
gets are not drawn. Requires heading and position data.

Relative target trails True target trails


1. Put the cursor on [R], [T] or [Ts] in the trail box at the bottom right side of the
screen.
2. Left click to select the trail mode.
Speed over the ground: Select between [R] (relative trail) and [T] (Speed over
ground, true trail).
Speed through the water: Select between [R] (relative trail) and [Ts] (Speed
through the water, true trail).
Note: The reference indication in the track plotting interval box in the information dis-
play automatically changes to [R], [T] or [Ts] accordingly.

1.24 Guard Alarm


The guard alarm sounds the audio alarm and displays an alarm message when a tar-
get (other ships, island, reef, etc.) enters (enter mode) or exits (exit mode) the guard
alarm zone. The operator can select the mode to use, and the default setting is the
enter mode. See section 2.12.2.

NOTICE
The guard alarm is a useful aid for
preventing collision. However its use
does not not exempt the operator from
maintaining a vigilant watch.

Improperly adjusted gain, sea clutter or


rain clutter may cause frequent triggering
of the guard alarm. For that reason, be
sure those controls are optimally adjust-
ed when using the guard alarm.

2.12.1 ECHO menu

[2ND ECHO REJ]: Second-trace echoes of very far targets can appear as false
echoes on the screen. This occurs when the return echo is received one transmission
cycle later. Mountains in the distance, for example, return strong reflections that can
create second-trace echoes. Activate the second-trace echo rejector when second-
trace echoes appear on the display.

[PERF MONITOR]: No use.

[SART]: A Search and Rescue Transponder (SART) responds to any X-band (3 cm)
radar within a range of approximately 8 nm. Each radar pulse received causes the
SART to transmit a response which is swept continuously across the complete radar
frequency band. When [SART] is turned on, the radar sets the following functions:

• Range: 12 NM
• Pulse length: long
• A/C RAIN control: manual (0)
• The 2nd trace echo rejector, wiper, zoom range, noise rejector and echo averaging
functions are inoperative.

3. TARGET TRACKING (TT)

3.1 About TT
The TT tracks and plots the movement of a maximum of 100 radar targets. The TT
tracks an automatically or manually acquired radar target and calculates the course
and speed of the target. Course and speed are indicated with a vector. The data cre-
ated by the TT depends on the radar targets selected. Make sure to adjust the radar
so that required targets are not lost or unwanted targets (sea returns, noise and the
like.) are not acquired and tracked.

The tracking accuracy changes according to the amount of course change. One to two
minutes is required to restore vectors to full accuracy after a sudden course change.
(The actual amount depends on gyrocompass specifications.)

The amount of tracking delay is inversely proportional to the relative speed of the tar-
get. Delay is approx. 15-30 seconds for the higher relative speed; approx. 30-60 sec-
onds for the lower relative speed. The following conditions can change accuracy:

• Echo intensity
• Radar transmission pulse length
• Radar bearing error
• Gyrocompass error
• Course change (own ship and targets)

3.2 How to Activate or Deactivate the TT Display


Left click the TT box in the information display area to select [AUTO/MAN]* or [OFF].
* Either [MAN] or [AUTO] appears, according to the [TT TARGET] menu setting.

3. TARGET TRACKING (TT)

3.3 Ship Speed Input


The TT requires speed and heading data. The speed can be speed over the ground,
speed through the water, or echo-referenced speed (calculated from a maximum of
three fixed objects).

The use of echo-referenced speed is recommended when:

• The speed log is not operating or not connected to the radar.


• The vessel has no device (Doppler sonar, speed log, etc.) for measuring latitudinal,
transverse speed.
• No position sensor input
For echo-referenced speed, the TT calculates speed relative to a fixed reference tar-
get. This.method is best when error is large because of ship's port-starboard move-
ment. The number of targets can be numbered R1, R2 or R3.

1. Select [SOG] for [SHIP SPEED] in the [SPEED] menu. (See section 2.11.8.)
2. Select [REF] for [SOG]. [REF] appears in the ship speed section in the information
display area.
3. Put the cursor on a fixed object (small island, lighthouse) within 0.1 to 24 (or 32)
NM range from the vessel.
4. Right click to display the [CURSOR] menu.
5. Left click [REF MARK]. A reference mark is entered at the
cursor position. Speed is displayed after approximately
one minute. Immediately after
6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 to mark the maximum of three fixed ob-
jects.
Note 1: The reference mark disappears if the target is lost
during the acquisition or tracking. The flashing message
[REF TGT LOST] is displayed in the alarm box in the infor- R1
mation display area. after 3 min
Note 2: To delete a reference mark, put the cursor on the Fixed point mark
mark, then press the TARGET CANCEL key.
Note 3: You can display a vector on a reference mark. Set [REF TARGET VECT]
in the [TT TARGET] menu to [On].

Notes on input of speed with a reference target


• Select a fixed target as a reference target to calculate speed as ground tracking
speed. Do not select a moving target as a reference target. A moving target creates
an error in the vector for TT and AIS, which can create wrong collision avoidance
information. Additionally, an unstable fixed target causes wrong speed data and the
target can become lost.
• When all fixed targets are lost, the speed values becomes [---] in the information dis-
play area. Reselect other fixed targets.
• When acquisition of all targets is interrupted, acquisition of fixed targets is also in-
terrupted and calculation of echo-reference speed becomes impossible.

Stop echo-referenced display


Select [GPS] or [Log (BT)] for [SOG] in the [SHIP SPEED] menu.

3.11 Vector
The vector on a tracked target is a line that represents the target’s speed and course.
The tip of vector is the predicted target position after the set vector time has passed.
You can predict a possible collision with another target by extending the vector length
(time).

Vector time Predicted target position after 15 min.


Vector

Current target position


Vector time is set at [15 min].

3.11.1 Types of vectors


True vector
True vector indicates the true movement of own ship and other ship relative to a land-
mass. Use this mode to identify a distinguish target from a fixed target.

Relative vector
The relative vector shows movement of other ship relative to own ship. Use the rela-
tive mode to identify a ship on a collision course with own ship. A ship whose vector
passes through own ship's position is on a collision course.

3.14 CPA/TCPA Alarm


The CPA/TCPA alarm is an anti-collision aid which warns you when a tracked target
or AIS target is within the specified distance from own ship. (The setting for this alarm
is shared with AIS.) When both the predicted CPA of any tracked target becomes
smaller than the preset CPA range and its predicted TCPA is less than the preset
TCPA limit, the offending target becomes red and flashes and the buzzer sounds. The
alarm box shows the flashing message "TT COLLISION" (or "AIS COLLISION").

This function helps avoid the risk of collision with a tracked target or AIS target.How-
ever, make sure to set the gain, sea clutter and rain clutter controls correctly to prevent
acquisition of non-essential targets (sea clutter, rain clutter, etc.)

Note 1: The CPA/TCPA alarm is a important aid to prevent collision. However, the
navigator is responsible to keep a visual lookout at all times.
Note 2: Consider the size, tonnage, ship speed and turning capacity of own ship when
setting the alarm.
Note 3: Select the position reference (antenna or CCRP) to calculate CPA/TCPA.
(See section 1.29.)

How to set the CPA/TCPA alarm

3.16 Trial Maneuver


The trial maneuver feature simulates the effect of own ship's movement against all
tracked targets, without interrupting the updating of target information. For more accu-
rate results, use relative motion and sea stabilization (water tracking).

3.16.1 Types of trial maneuvers


There are the two types of trial maneuver modes: dynamic and static.

Dynamic mode
A dynamic trial maneuver displays the estimated positions of the tracked targets and
own ship. You enter own ship's planned speed and course with some "delay time." As-
suming that all tracked targets keep their current speeds and courses, the targets' and
own ship's future movements are simulated in one-second increments that indicate
their estimated positions in 30-second intervals as shown on the next page.

The delay time is the time lag from the current time to the time when own ship starts
to change her speed and/or course. Therefore, consider own ship’s maneuvering
characteristics like rudder delay, turning delay and acceleration delay. This is very im-
portant on large vessels.

In the example shown at the top of the next page, own ship moves straight ahead
(even after a maneuver) for a delay time of 2:30 and changes speed and course until
the operator-set planned speed and course are achieved (position OS7 in this exam-
ple).

delay time until start of a maneuver. Then, the estimated position of both your ship and
TTs at the end of the trial maneuver are shown on the display.

Try different trial times to find the safe time to make a maneuver. Thus, the static trial
maneuver helps you find the maneuver result immediately.

5.5 Tracks
A total of 20,000 points is provided for the storage of your ship’s track and 200,000
points for tracked targets. The number of points for tracked targets is divided equally
according to the number of tracked targets. For example, for 10 tracked targets,
20,000 points are available for each target. When this memory becomes full, the old-
est track is deleted to store the current tracks. Tracks are kept in the memory when
the power is turned off.
Note: You can check the number of track points used (your ship and tracked targets)
in the [MARK] menu. (See section 5.2.1.)

5.5.1 How to show tracks
