6.7 Battery Replacement of GC-10
CAUTION!
Take care to avoid short-circuit of the battery. This could create a burn or
fire hazard. Do not dispose of battery in a fire or an incinerator; this may
cause an explosion!
The life of a battery is approximately 5 years although it varies with the operating
conditions of the unit. If “HDG” is represented by “000.0” every time the power is
turned off, the battery has come to the end of its life. Disconnect JP8 and replace the
battery. After the completion of the replacement, re-connect the JP8.

Chapter 7. Block Description
7.1 Overview
7.1 Overview
The standard supply units are comprised of Processor unit, Monitor unit, Control unit
and Antenna unit (TR unit). Serial signals are used as control signals between each unit.
The ARPA and video plotter functions are incorporated in the SPU board as standard
and a performance monitor is integrated into the Antenna unit as an option. The inter
switch function operates via LAN connection.
7.1.1 Interface
The communication between TR unit and Processor unit is made via RS-422/115.2 kbps,
and the communication between Processor unit and Control unit via RS-422/19.2 kbps,
both using an asynchronous communication method.
The LAN ports of 100 Base-Tx allows the connection with CU-200 or radars of FAR
series. The connection via HUB-100 allows the connection with up to eight FAR-series
radars and up to two CU-200 units. (Maximum 8 ports)
INS (ECDIS) supports both LAN and serial port (RS-422/4800 bps) connection. See
page.6-13 for details of interface of each port.

7.2.1 RFC board (03P9346A)
The RFC board is used commonly for X-band and S-band radars. The version of the
RFC board can be checked in the “FACTORY TEST”. See page.6-19 for details.
1. Control signals
The RFC board and the SPU board of the Processor unit communicate with each other
through RS-422/115.2 kbps by the asynchronous communication method. The overview
of control signals is shown below.
Serial data sent from the SPU board to the RFC board includes GAIN, STC and TUNE
control signals. These signals are processed on the RFC board to control the MD board,
IF board, PWR (RF) board and MIC circuit of the TR unit. The RFC board converts
head line signals, bearing signals, TUNE IND voltage, Magnetron current, DI-Monitor
voltage, and each supply voltage monitored on the TR unit circuit into serial data and
send them to the SPU board.
The checksum is attached to each command.
In RFC, the ACK will not be returned to SPU when the checksum of the command from
SPU differs. If the SPU cannot receive ACK from RFC, it retries transmission of the
command 3 times, but if it cannot receive ACK, it displays the "RF" error.

2. Control between RFC board and MD board

The RFC board outputs four TX triggers to the MD board to generate TX pulses
corresponding to pulse length set in the Processor unit. Changing the timing of each
trigger and pulse length controls the TX pulse length and waveform. The TX pulses are
S1, S2, M1, M2, M3 and L. When voltage higher than the specified TX high voltage
(TX-HV) is applied onto the MD board, the RFC board stops TX triggers.
3. Control between RFC board and IF board

The RFC board controls the IF board based on the control information from the SPU
board. This includes the control bandwidth, STC waveform output according to
GAIN/STC information, MBS, and the cable correction. The IF board outputs STC
DETECT signals to the RFC board to create an AUTO STC curve, which are converted
into serial data and sent to the SPU board.
4. Monitor of TR unit
The RFC board detects TUNE IND voltage, Magnetron current, DI-Monitor voltage,
and each supply voltage from the circuits. Detected signals are converted into serial data
and sent to the SPU board. By executing [Menu] -> 9 -> 8 -> 2:Self Test, values
detected in the TR unit can be monitored. See page.6-6 for details.
5. HD and B.P
HD and B.P signals are sent from the B.P GEN board to the RFC board. B.P is outputted
at 265 pulses/rev on the S-band radar and 360 pulses/rev on the X-band radar. These
signals are subjected to waveform shaping on the RFC board, converted into serial data
and sent to the SPU board.
6. Memory used for RFC board

The table below shows major applications of the memory of the RFC board.

7.2 Antenna Unit
1. TX trigger
Four triggers different in pulse length to each drive circuit of the MD board. These
outputs are combined to create high-voltage TX pulses. The waveform of short and
middle TX pulses is a triangular wave. In signal processing, it allows suppressing
relatively weaker echoes such as sea clutter on short range. The photos below show
examples of waveforms of detected TX output of the X-band/25 kW radar.
The pulse length at the point 3 dB below the peak is defined as the pulse length.

2. Short pulse and V TRIG signal

U1 (MB3776AP) on the MD board is a switching power supply and generates the
power supply to the trigger amplifier circuits of the RFC board (Q1 -12) and MD board
(Q5-20). The adjustment of output voltage of U1 is made at VR1 on the MD board. This
is the adjustment of Magnetron current which has been set at the factory. There is no
need for this adjustment when the Magnetron is replaced in the field. The “SHORT
PULSE” signal controlling U1 from the RFC board increases voltage and TX output at
S1 pulse. This signal also turns on K1 on the MD board to make the pulse trailing edge
steep. This is achieved by short-circuiting L1 for a certain time and reducing the
residual voltage of the Magnetron. In a similar manner, K1 and K4 are controlled at S1
and S2 pulses on the S-band radar.

Magnetron current at VR1

in the field)
Fig. 7.2.5 MD board (03P9244)

3. TX PROTECT signal
TX high voltage is divided (R1/2, R3/4, R40) on the MD board, and output to the RFC

Magnetron
While the Magnetron is not operating, TX high voltage (TX-HV) runs through R1/2,
and is changed on capacitor: C1-4. When trigger pulse is applied to MOS-FETs Q1 to
Q4, the FET is turned on and discharges C1 to C4. Voltage is increased on the primary
winding of the pulse transformer and high voltage of 6 kV to 8 kV is generated on the
secondary winding to make the Magnetron oscillate.

Major parts of TX circuit

- CR1, 2 (MD board)
CR1 and 2 serve to protect MOS-FET. When the TX trigger is switched from ON
to OFF, counter-electromotive force (overshoot) generated on the primary winding
of the pulse transformer is released to the TX-HV power supply.
- R41, 42 (MD board)
R41 and 42 serve to decrease the main bang. When the TX trigger is switched from
ON to OFF, there remains residual voltage on the primary winding of the pulse
transformer. R41 and 42 serve to consume this residual voltage.
- L1 (MD board)
When the pulse length is S1 (short pulse), the relay is turned on to connect L1 to
the TX-HV line. The coil impedance becomes low in a certain time after the pulse
trailing, shorting the primary winding of the pulse transformer, forcibly dissipates
residual voltage of the Magnetron to make the pulse trailing edge steep.
7-11
7.2 Antenna Unit
- CR802, 803
CR802 and 803 serve to protect the Magnetron. When the trigger is switched from
ON to OFF, counter-electromotive force (overshoot) generated on the Magnetron is
released to the GND line.
- L3 (MD board)
L3 serves to protect the heater power supply circuit. L3 prevents the leakage of
high voltage generated at the pulse transformer from flowing to the heater power
supply circuit.
Circulator
The radar antenna is used commonly for sending and receiving. The circulator performs
switching between sending and receiving. The circulator has three I/O ports and has a
permanent magnet and ferrite core arranged in the center. It serves to output
electromagnetic waves coming from one port to a particular direction. For instance,
electromagnetic waves coming from a port connected to the Magnetron are outputted to
the antenna connecting port and not outputted to a port connected to the MIC to protect
the receiving circuit from a large level of electromagnetic waves. During receiving
signals, receiving waves from the antenna are outputted to the MIC connecting port to
reduce the loss of receiving waves.
Receiving circuit
Receiving waves from the circulator are inputted to the MIC via a diode limiter or TR
limiterNote. If strong sending waves are inputted from other ship, there is a risk of the
MIC being damaged. To protect the MIC from damage, the diode limiter attenuates
strong sending waves. The MIC is comprised of a local oscillation circuit, a LNA circuit,
PIN ATT circuit and a frequency conversion circuit, which converts received signals to
IF signals of 60 MHz.
Note:
- Diode limiter: FAR-2xx7, FAR 2x37S
- TR limiter: FAR-2827W, FAR-2837SW

IF signals of 60 MHz from the MIC are separated into the tuning amplifier Q7, 8 and
the IF amplifier on the Q1 side. IF signals are separated at U22 to the video detection
circuit on U3 side and the 60 MHz semi-log amplifier on T5 side. Respective outputs
video signals and 60 MHz IF signals are superimposed and sent to RPU-013. At the
input stage of SPU board, superimposed signals are separated at HPF and LPF.
Major control signals of IF board

- SDATA, CLK, DATEN, TEST SIG, TEST SIG ENABLE
SDATA, CLK and DATEN control signals from the RFC board control the gain of
U16. This control data is based on the setting value of [Menu] -> 0 -> 2 -> 2:Cable
ATT ADJ.
Purpose of the gain control;
Superimposed 60 MHz IF signals and video signals are sent to RPU-013 trough
the coaxial cable. IF signals of 60 MHz, in particular, inputted into RPU-013
have different levels according to cable length. The gain control is performed to
compensate the cable loss on the IF board side and allows inputs into RPU-013
at a constant level.
See page.4-13 for the adjusting method.
For TEST SIG and TEST SIG ENABLE control signals, dummy echo signals
are inputted into CR10 if [Menu] -> 0 -> 2 -> 2:Cable ATT ADJ is set to AUTO.
The gain correction is automatically performed based on these signals.
7-14
7.2 Antenna Unit
- VBW-A, B
Tuning circuits are switched to achieve the required bandwidth for improving S/N
of video signals. They are switched according to pulses of S1/2, M1/2/3 and L
pulse.
- STC DETECT
This is a signal to create the AUTO STC curve.
- MBS ENABLE
This is a signal to reduce main bang caused by leaked TX signal. The gain at Q4 is
reduced for the set time. This is the setting of the gate time in [Menu] -> 0 -> 2 ->
5:MBS. This operation starts a little earlier than the TX trigger.
- TUNE IND, TUNE GAIN /TUNE GATE /SAMPLE HOLD

TUNE IND signal generated from main bang is used for indicating TUNE bar and
AUTO TUNE function.
TUNE GATE signal activates U4 only during reception of main bang. SAMPLE
HOLD signals control U6 (analog switch) and C28, and detected signals are
sampled and outputted as TUNE IND signals. TUNE GAIN signals serve to
compensate the levels. Since the pulse height of the short pulse is lower than that
of the long pulse, the gain is increased during the period of short pulses.
- D MONI OUT
MONI OUT signals are monitor signals of the MIC. Self-test is executed by
[Menu] -> 9 -> 8 -> 2 to check values in RF MONITOR.
- PIN ATT CONT

This is not used at present.
- TUNE
This is TUNE control signal inputted into MIC.
7-15
7.2 Antenna Unit
- FET ATT N
This is a control signal for adjusting the ring suppression. When the control time of
the MBS is complete, this signal starts to reduce the gain of Q1 to activate the ring
suppression. The larger is the setting value of [Menu] -> 0 -> 2 -> 0:Ring
Suppression, the more extended is the time for enabling the ring suppression.
- STC CONT
This is the STC control signal to control the gain of U27 and 28.

When supply voltages are supplied from the Processor unit, line voltages drop by the
antenna cable. It causes differences in potential on the ground between the Processor
unit and Antenna unit, thereby resulting in unstable voltage on the earth lines of cables.
For this reason, the power supply to the Antenna unit is featured as follows:
The power to the Antenna unit is supplied in +24 VDC alone except for the TX-HV and
motor line. Required voltage is generated in the Antenna unit based on this power
supply.

+24V inputs from RPU-013 enter Q3 via the power supply filter circuit. The gate
of Q3 is controlled by signals of the low voltage protection circuit U2 and turns off
Q3 when the input voltage is reduced to +16.8 VDC or less. The starting voltage is
19.5 V or more.
- +12 V power supply circuit

U11 is the switching power supply of +12 VDC/1.7 A and operates at 60 kHz. Q11
and C13 connected to the SS terminals of U11 are circuits for output control and
soft start. The soft start function is provided to suppress the supply rush current of
the load. R13 to R16 and U12 are output overcurrent protection detection circuits
which controls the SS terminals of U11 when the current of 2.5 A to 3 A runs on
the +12 VDC line and stops the output of this line. The overcurrent protection
circuit is automatically reset.
- +32 V, －12 V power supply circuits

The +12 VDC power supply also outputs to the switching power supply U41. U41
operated at 33 kHz. This output generates voltages of +32 VDC/10 mA and –12
VDC/0.3 A. The voltage of +32 VDC is generated at U51:REG and adjusted to +32
VDC at R62. The voltage of –12 VDC is adjusted so as to achieve –12 VDC at
R57. When the current of 0.55 A or more runs through the –12 VDC line, the RT41
(Poly Switch) is activated to shut off the output.

- Heater power supply circuit

U21 is the switching power supply for the Magnetron heater outputting 7.5
VDC/1.3 A and operates at 125kHz. Q22 and C23 connected to the SS terminals of
U21 are circuits for output control and soft start. U21 is controlled by HEATER
VLT signals from the RFC board and changes heater voltage during “ST-BY” and
during “TX” in long pulses. This is intended to reduce the heater voltage during
“TX” in long pulses for extending the life of the Magnetron. The heater voltage is
adjusted at R28 during “ST-BY” and at R32 during “TX” in long pulses. Since the
heater voltage differs according to types (Magnetron), JP21 is provided to correct
different voltages.
Note: HEATER OFF signal is outputted from the RFC board to stop the heater
voltage but it is not used.
- +5 V power supply circuit
U31 is the switching power supply for +5 VDC/0.5 A and operates at 250 kHz.
Q31 and C33 connected to the SS terminals of U31 are circuits for output control
and soft start. The soft start function is provided to suppress the supply rush current
of the load. R47, R48 and U22 are output overcurrent protection detection circuits
which control the SS terminals of U31 and stops outputs when the current of 0.8 A

7.2.6 MSS board (MSS7497)

The MSS board is used for S-band radars and not compatibly used due to different part
by differences in antenna motor voltage.
MSS7497A MSS7497
ANT motor power supply: 380/440VAC ANT motor power supply: 200/220VAC
Since the antenna size of S-band radar is large, there is a risk that the antenna revolution
mechanism and motor may be damaged due to too large loads if the rated voltage is
applied to the antenna motor suddenly. To prevent this, the antenna revolution is
generally increased without applying the rated voltage onto the motor at the time of
power-on. After rotating loads are decreased, the rated voltage is applied. At the time of
power-on, only two phases of V and W are connected to the motor to make the motor
rotate slowly. The switching circuits of Q1, 2 and 3 are controlled by voltage generated
by full-wave rectification to change the conduction angle of the remaining one phase.
Fig. 7.2.15 Circuit Diagram of MSS board
- At the time of power-on:

Q3 (junction transistor) is brought into conduction after waiting for delays by the
time constant of R6 and C3 and turns on the triacs CR2 and CR13 by way of the
photo triac couplers U1 and U2. When U1 and U2 are turned on, C4 is discharged
through Q3, and Q3 is turned off.
7-21
7.2 Antenna Unit
- When the stationary state of the antenna rotation has been achieved:
C3 is recharged and maintains about 7.5 VDC.
C4 is recharged through Q1 and Q2 -> Q3 is turned on -> U2 and U3 are turned on ->
C4 is discharged through Q3. In this way, pulses to control U2 and U3 are generated
at C4 and Q3.

7.2.7 Turning operation

1. Automatic tuning operation
The automatic tuning operation includes full search and small search. In these automatic
tuning operations, a start command sent from the SPU board is executed on the RFC
board to control tuning voltage of the MIC. After searching is complete, tracking
operation starts to find the maximum tuning point at all times. Changing tuning voltage
changes local frequency in the MIC. The maximum point of tuning is where the output
frequency of the MIC is converted to the IF frequency of 60 MHz.
A start command, manual setting values, tuning indicator signal (TUNE IND), and MIC
monitor signal (D-MONI signal) presented in a self-test are sent and received using
serial data between the SPU board and RFC board.
Fig. 7.2.17 Schematic Diagram of TUNE Control

- Full search
The full search is performed to find the tuning point where the tuning indicator
voltage (TUNE IND) becomes largest within a tuning voltage (TUNE) range
between about 5 V and 25 V. The full search starts by executing [Menu] -> 1 ->
3:TUNE INITIALIZE.
- Small search
The small search is performed to find the tuning point where the tuning indicator
voltage (TUNE IND) becomes largest within a range of +2.5 VDC with the tuning
point obtained in the full search at the center.
The small search is performed as follows:
1. [Menu] -> 1 -> 3:TUNE INITIALIZE is executed, and small searches are
repeated from long pulse to short pulses and respective tuning points are
saved.
2. When operation is switched from ST-BY to TX, two small searches are
repeated based on tuning points of pulse length saved in Step 1. Then the
tuning tracking operation starts.
3. When the pulse length is changed, one small search is performed based on the
tuning points of pulse length saved in Step 1. Then the tracking operation
starts.
- Tuning tracking
The tracking operation is performed every minute.
Tune voltage is changed.
2. Manual tuning
When the operation is changed from the Automatic tuning to the Manual tuning, the
voltage value manually set in the previous time is retrieved. The variable range for it is
5 VDC to 25 VDC. In the Manual tuning, the tuning tracking operation is not performed.
When the operation is changed form the Manual tuning to the Automatic tuning, two
small searches are performed for the pulse length based on the tuning value obtained in
[Menu] -> 1 -> 3:TUNE INITIALIZE.

Tuning indicator is set at 80% against the maximum TUNE IND voltage at full search.

7.2.8 Automatic STC (SEA AUTO)

This signal processing is performed on the RFC board. This setting is switched by
ON/OFF of the [AUTO/MANU SEA] box. The automatic STC is a function to
automatically control the level of STC waveform corresponding to receiving levels. It
calculates an optimum sea clutter attenuation curve corresponding to signal levels of a
near range and creates STC voltage. Parameters to determine the curve are Model, STC
Condition SEA Condition, Default ANT height, and Near/Mid/Far STC curve in the
INITIALIZE menu. See page.4-15.
STC CONT signals inputted into the IF board are outputted by setting the STC bias so
as to give an optimum picture when the STC is set to AUTO and the STC control knob
is se at 50 %.
The figure below is the block diagram of the automatic STC processing. For the
receiving signal level, one rotation of the antenna is divided into 32 sectors, the
receiving level is averaged for each sector, and each sector divided into 32 is averaged
for 10 seconds, and the STC is created from the data.

STC, weaker target echoes behind are also erased. If the STC is adjusted so as to leave
echoes behind, sea clutter signals ahead remain. In such a case, optimum pictures are
obtained on the whole by STC-controlling of sea clutter different by each bearing
according to each bearing.

１. Echo trail processing: [TRAIL] menu

See page.3-18 for related information on the [TRAIL] box menu. This menu allows the
setting of Trail Mode, Trail Grad, Narrow Trail, Trail Level, Trail Reset, Trail Copy and
OS Trail.
In the setting of echo trail, trail time can be selected as well as the selection between
“True” and “Relative”. The trail time can be set in a range between 30 seconds and 30
minutes at 0.5-minute intervals. Trail images are saved for each 7 seconds for a period
of 30 minutes.
- Trail gradation (TRAIL GRAD): Multi gradations

The trail gradation is updated for each 7 seconds in up to 32 gradations.
Accordingly, if the trail elapsed time is 15 seconds, trail is displayed in 2
gradations. If the elapsed time is 30 seconds, it is displayed in 4 gradations, and in
4 minutes or more, in 32 gradations.
- Trail copy
Turn on the setting of Trail Restart (linked with trail rage) and Trail Copy. If the
range change is 3 to 1/3 times relative to the range where the trail is started, all
trails can be displayed promptly. This is because the trail of the previous range is
copied.
Changing Range
Trail Copy
Start Trail at changing range
When about 10 seconds or more elapses after the range change, the trailing at the
range starts following the copy of the previous trail. If the range is changed to a
range exceeding 3 to 1/3 times the previous range, a new trailing process starts. If
the range is changed to move than 3 times the previous range, the range up to 3
times the previous range is saved. For the range exceeding 3 times or less than 1/3
times, a new trailing process starts. However, if it is returned to the previous range
within 10 seconds, the saved previous trail is displayed.
7-38
- Narrow trail
When the setting of Narrow Trail is turned on, a trail width is presented in one dot.
The narrow trail can be used when selecting the long trial time. This feature is not
available on the IMO and A type radars. The narrow trail is processed for relatively
strong and large echoes, the level of which is 8 to 32 and the signal on screen is 6
dots in azimuth direction and 3 dots in rage direction.
The narrow trail processing can be used for a echo which is in level 8 or higher for
echo level divided into 32 and has a size of 6 dots in a row in the bearing direction
and 3 dots in a row in the distance direction on the screen coordinates. To be more
specific, the narrow trail processing is not done for smaller echoes
2. Wiper processing (WIPER)

The setting of the wiper processing is performed in OFF/1/2 of [Menu] -> 1 -> 6:
WIPER.
To facilitate echo observation, the wiper processing manipulates the echo levels of
noises and weaker echoes due to sea clutter, rain and snow step-by-step for each block
(memory area) and displays them on the screen. The display by this processing gives
pictures as if viewed on the PPI radar screen.
Time required for rewriting one block is about 300 msec. Consequently, the number of
“steps” for processing differs according to antenna revolving speed. For instance, in
case that the antenna revolving speed is 24 rpm, one screen is processed in about 8 steps.
In case of 42 rpm, the number of processing steps is decreased to about 5
Changes of pictures vary for each memory area, not for each specific bearing interval.
This is because the wiper processing is performed by subjecting the input signal (r- θ )
according to the distance and bearing to X-Y conversion and then subjecting this to
wiper processing for each memory area. The wiper processing differs according to the
setting of EAV (Echo Average). See page.7-43 for the information on EAV.

7-39
- WIPER-1
The input signal is computed using the wiper coefficient K and the signal level is
gradually reduced. The smaller is the signal level, the smaller the wiper coefficient
is. Consequently, weaker signals disappear quicker than stronger signals.

Table 7.3.10 WIPER-1 processing
- WIPER-2
The processing of WIPER-2 operates basically in the same way as for WIPER-1
processing. However, wiper processing and EAV is performed in parallel and the
wiper processing is performed so that final echoes level is same level as EAV only
is used. For instance, if the echo level is set as medium level input in the EAV-2
setting and they are continuous echoes, the wiper-processed echo of the final block
is emphasized more than the previous echo.

3. Zoom
Zoom magnification can be selected in the setting of 4:ZOOM (OFF/2 TIMES/3
TIMES) of [Menu] -> 9 -> 2:DATA BOX menu.
For zoom processing, select “ZOOM” in the [CURSOR] menu. Place the cursor on the
picture to be zoomed and click the left button. The zoomed picture is displayed in the
data presentation area on the right of the screen. The picture in the normal picture
presentation area has a dotted frame showing a zoomed area.
Fig. 7.3.11 ZOOM processing
4. Signal processing of [PICTURE] menu

4-1. Interference rejection (INT REJECT)
The setting of interference rejection is made in OFF/1/2/3 of the [PICTURE] box menu.
This feature is intended to reduce radar interference form other ships by correlation
processing between previous and past sweeps.
- IR-1: Correlation between the current sweep and last one sweep
- IR-2: Correlation between the current sweep and last two sweeps
- IR-3: Correlation between the current sweep and last three sweeps
For instance, in IR-3 setting, when the same echo is present Output echo
on the current and last three sweeps, it is outputted as an n

echo. If the same echo is not detected in any sweep, it is n-1
not outputted. n-2
If the TX interval of other ship and own ship are close to
n-3
each other, radar interference wave from other ship is
displayed at a similar position to the own ship’s. To avoid Sweep
this, in FAR-2xx7 the TX interval randomly varied within a Range
range of 10 ％ of the TX interval.

4-2 Video magnification (ECHO STRETCH)

This setting is made in OFF/1/2/3 of the [PICTURE] box menu.

- ES-2: An echo is stretched in the distance direction
- ES-3: An echo is stretched in the bearing direction and distance direction.

This setting is in OFF/1/2/3 of [PICTURE] box menu.
Used for displaying target signals by distinguishing them from unwanted signals of
sea clutter, rain and others.
- EAV-1
Used for displaying target signals by distinguishing them from unwanted signals of
sea clutter, rain and others.
- EAV-2
Used for displaying target signals by distinguishing them from pictures of strong
sea clutter, rain and others. With its strong force to suppress the signal strength of
sea clutter, rain and others, it has a strong control force and may suppress weak
target signals. EAV-2 and EAV-1 should be selectively used depending on the
strength of unwanted signals.
- EAV-3
Used for displaying a target in highlight.
Since this feature allows displaying a weaker target by increasing its intensity, it is
used for enhancing the sensitivity particularly of a target in a long distance. Since
unwanted signals of sea clutter, rain and others are also emphasized, video
adjustment is required to remove unwanted signals.

Overview of EAV-1 and 2 processing

In EAV-1 and 2, correlation processing is performed by making comparisons between
the current screen and last screen. EAV-1 is for the past two correlation processing
and EAV-2 is for the past three correlation processing.
In this processing, the EAV output level is gradually raised if signals are detected in
consecutive scans while the level is gradually reduced if signals are intermittent
among scans. In this processing, outputs become weaker than input signals for a
high-speed boat. This tendency is particularly apparent in EAV-2.

The figures below show input signals and EAV output level in a simplified way.
Although there are 32 signal levels, they are shown in 0 to 7 levels in the figures.

Overview of EAV-3 processing

EAV-3 processing is not the correlation processing like EAV-1 and 2. In this
processing, unwanted signals that cannot be processed in FTC and STC are
emphasized.
At the maximum input signal level (level 32):
The previous signal is compared with the current signal. If the current signal is at
the maximum level, it is outputted at the level. If the current signal is weaker, it is
outputted at a level a little lower than the maximum level.
In the medium input signal level:
The previous signal is compared with the current signal and the output level is
gradually raised. If there is no signal, the output level is gradually reduced. The
rate of reducing of the signal level in EAV-3 is slower than in EAV-1 and 2.
The figures below show input signals of EAV-3 and EAV output level in a simplified
way. Although there are 32 signal levels, they are shown in 0 to 7 levels in the figures
below.

4-4 Noise rejection (NOISE REJ)

When white noises appear all over the radar screen, set ON in “4:NOISE REJ” of the
[PICTURE] box menu. The processing of noise rejection is based on a concept that
receiving signals are inputted into the delay circuit and outputted by averaging the
outputs of the delay terminal on the circuit. By averaging process, strong signals
become weaker and weaker signals like noises reduced their levels.

Fig. 7.3 16 Schematic diagram of noise rejection processing
In long pulses, for instance, it is possible to receive echoes close to the pulse-length at
1.2 µ sec pulse. The shift lock frequency of the delay circuit is 40 MHz/25 nsec. Since
the delay circuit is comprised of 16 stages, the delay time is 16 x 25 nsec = 0.4 µ sec.
Consequently, there is a delay of 1.2 µ sec pulse + 0.4 µ sec since an echo of 1.2
µ sec pulse length is inputted into the delay circuit until the echo is completely
outputted, to make the echo a little extended. In the short and middle pulses, shift lock
frequency is set at 80 MHz since the pulse length is smaller. The pulse length in S1, for
instance, is 0.07 µ sec.

The input signal A is subjected to the processing of moving average deviation. In this
processing, the range of the distance to be extracted is deviated in one sweep and signal
levels of respective distances extracted are averaged.
Averaged signals are multiplied by the coefficient K determined by the FTC setting. The
signal B is subtracted from the input signal A to create the signal C. The signal C is
STC-processed (curve of 1/Square of distance) and outputted. The FTC control knob is
used for adjusting the STC level. The effect of FTC is larger as the FTC setting value is
larger and as FTC VR is turned clockwise.

The setting of VIDEO CONTRAST is made in A/B/C and 1/2/3/4 of the [PICTURE]
box menu.
This is the setting of the contrast of a displayed picture. The strength of a video signal is
set by combining its change width of the picture level and the curve of its change width.

7.3.5 Power board

1. Power supply specifications
The power board differs according to the types of input power supply and antenna
revolving speed. See page.4-64 to 68.
Jumper setting inside the board performs switching between 100 to 115 VAC and 220 to
230 VAC power supply in a ship. Adjustments of input over voltage are required to do
this. Power supply outputs include + 24 VDC for the RF section, +24 VDC for the
TX-HV, +24 VDC for the antenna motor, +5 V, +12 V and –12 V power supply.

Power supply interface
- POWER FAIL
This feature monitors the TP11 (+12 V) power supply line. POWER FAIL signal is
outputted when voltage is lowered on this line, and the switching power supply
become out of control.
When this signal is detected, this circuit generates an interrupt of MAIN CPU of
the SPU board, but this circuit is not used at present.
- MON MOTOR VLT
The voltage value can be monitored if the antenna motor is of a DC type. To monitor
the voltage value, execute [Menu] -> 9 -> 8 -> 2: SELF TEST and check the value
on “SCANNER MOTOR”.
- BP
BP signals from the antenna are inputted from the SPU board and control the
revolutions of the DC antenna motor.
- ANT SPEED
This signal controls the antenna revolving speed when the antenna motor is of the
type of DC/42 rpm (RSB-097). This setting is made in [Menu] -> 0 -> 3 -> 4: ANT
REVOLUTION. In AUTO setting, the number of revolutions can be automatically
set according to pulse length (S1, S2 / M, L).
- ANT ON
This signal controls ON/OFF of the antenna power supply when the antenna motor
is of DC type.
This setting can be made in [Menu] -> 0 -> 3 -> 5: ANT SW.
Power-ON
1. Generating control voltage for power supply circuit
AC power supply inputs are rectified at CR1 and C5 and generates power supply of
+12 VDC, +6.5 VDC and +5 VDC for the power supply control circuits on the
power supply circuit of a self-excited oscillation type comprised of Q1, Q2 T1 and
CR2 to 4.
2. Detecting input low voltage and over voltage

Input low voltage and over voltage is detected for input power supply at U11.
Detection signals control U12 via Q13 and 14. If the input voltage is out of the
specified range, U12 is not turned on.
7-66
3. Turning the power ON

The status of power switch of RCU-014 and RCU-015 is detected at the window
comparator comprised of U3 and U4. The power switch is of a latch type and
opens when the power is ON and closes when the power is OFF. U4 output
switches +12 VDC power supply at Q3 via U2 and Q4 and generate “PR12_A”.
This power is supplied to the +32 VDC switching power supply circuit and the
+24VDC, +12 VDC and –14 VDC switching power supply circuits.
4. Tuning AC input circuit on by PWR ON1 signal

When the PR12_A power supply is turned on, U12 is turned on and PWR ON-1
signals control the triac and K1 control circuit.
First K1 is turned on, AC current runs through R40/124. Next the triac is turned on
and AC input power supply is connected to the rectifier circuit CR26. This circuit
is intended to reduce rush current. The rectifier circuit operates as a voltage
doubler rectifier circuit by the setting of J108 when 100 VAC is inputted
5. Turning on the switching power supply by PWR ON2 signal

PWR ON-2 signals from the triac and K1 control circuit drive two “DT Cont., Soft
start” circuits of Q41/42 and Q43/44 via U13, Q16, Q17 and control the HIC for
controlling the switching power supply of U21 and U22. The HIC incorporates
MB3759 for controlling the switching power supply of a pulse length modulation
type.
Control of antenna DC motor power supply

The antenna revolving speed differs according to the models of antenna motrs and
power boards. In case of the power board of 42 rpm type, the antenna revolving speed
can be changed by the setting according to 03Pxxxxx-B and 03Pxxxxx-D types.

1. Turning on the antenna

ANT ON signals inputted from the SPU board control the switching power supply
IC of U161 via the “ANT Soft Start” circuit comprised of Q153 and C157.
2. Maintaining the antenna speed constant

To maintain the antenna speed constant, there is a feed-back circuit provided. In
this circuit, the number of revolutions (F) of B.P signals from the antenna is
converted into voltage (V) at U162. These signals control U161 and change the
switching power supply output voltage to maintain the antenna speed constant.
4. Block description of DC power board (03P9338)

The DC power board has no circuit corresponding to the input part of the AC power
supply. Other features of the switching power supply circuit are the same as for the AC
power supply. The HIC of U11 incorporates IC (MB3771PF) for monitoring power
supply. If the input is out of the range between the input over voltage 35 VDC and input
low voltage 15 VDC, the power supply is not turned on by controlling “DT Cont., Soft
Start” circuit for the switching power supply of +24 VDC, +12 VDC, -14 VDC and +32
VDC.
5. Power-on of monitor unit (MU-201CR, MU-231CR)

The signal for starting the power supply to the monitor unit is the signal of #14 pin (+5

The TX-HV board is comprised of a main inverter and sub inverter. Each inverter is
controlled by U1 and the switching frequency is about 45 kHz and determined by R2, 3
and C7. U1 incorporates the IC for pulse length control of MB3757 with its peripheral
circuitry molded.
CR23 lights up when the power is supplied to this board and CR21 lights up when over
current of about 0.7 A is detected on the TX-HV.
In FAR-2xx7 series, CR23 does not light up when the power is supplied to this
board.
VR1 should be adjusted so that the output voltage of the main inverter of TP-1 is 35
VDC. TX-HV voltage is set at JP1 and JP2. The voltage setting is 310 to 350 VDC in
case of a 10 kW –radar (FAR-2x17) and 520 to 580 VDC incase of radar of 25 kW or
more (FAR-2x27).

Q&A
4. What is the maximum cable length usable between each unit?

See page.1-9.
- Between Processor unit and Control unit: Max. 30 m
Between Processor unit and TR unit: Max. 100 m
(FAR-2xx7 and 2xx7S: 300 m when used with RJB-001 and thicker
antenna cable)
- Between Processor unit and Monitor unit: Max. 10 m
(The cable length of 10 m is allowed for the cable supplied with the
equipment. The DVI standard specifies 5 m. For further extending the
cable length, DVI-DVI repeater is commercially available.)
LAN cable: The longest length of optional cables is 30 m.
Note:
For connecting with 100BASE-T(100 Mbps), use the LAN cable of category
5, and 100 m at the longest.
5. How can I extend the LAN CA to 30 m or longer? (What is the maximum

cable length?)
When connecting with 100BASE FX using optical cables, the cable length up to 2
km is allowed. When extending an optical cable, the media converter that can
process signals in real time is necessary.
6. Can antenna cables for FR-1425 and FR-2120 be used for FAR-2127 and
FAR-2137S?
Cables for older types of radars RW-4873 (armored-cable RW-6895) can be used
with new-type IMO radar. There will be no problem if the cable length is 30 m or
less. Re-install wiring.
Note:
- Two cables of the older type are required for 24 V+/‐ power supply which
was not used for older types of radars.
- Although the new cable RW-9600 has fewer cores, it allows a larger current
capacity than the older types of cables (available only in 0.5 and 1.25 sq. mm
sizes) since the new cable size is a 1.5 or 2.5 sq. mm.
7. What types of the color LCD monitor can be used for connection?
See page.4-41 and 7-76.
Monitors compatible with SXGA are MU-120C, MU-155C, MU-200C, MU-201C
and. MU-120C and MU-155C are not compatible in terms of the display size.
For connecting with these monitors, make the setting of the DIP switch S1 on the
SPU board. Set “S1-#1” to OFF and “#2” to ON.
8. Can any number be assigned for the radar in the setting of [Menu] -> 0 -> 4 ->
4: RADAR NO.? See page.4-19.
Assign 1 to 4 to let the unit serve as Radar.
Assign 5 to 8 to let the unit serve as a sub monitor. Information on radars
connected to the LAN can be checked on the [ANT-X] box menu.
8-2
Q&A
9. How many units can connect for the Inter-switch function?

See page.4-19, 4-21 and 4-23.
Up to four radars and up to four monitors can be connected. Make connections via
HUB-100. The related setting is made in [Menu] -> 0 -> 4 -> 4: RADAR NO. To
make the unit serve as Radar, assign 1 to 4 to the radar number. It is required for
this setting to change the IP address of Radar. When the setting is changed, be sure
to restart other FARs, CU-200, and HUB-100 connected to the LAN.
10. What kinds of operations are allowed when switching to another radar
by the Inter-switch?
The setting of GAIN, STC and RANGE can be changed. Echo processing of ES,
EAV, Echo trail and etc. is performed on the switched side.
Operation such as ARPA acquisition and tracking is performed on the original
processor unit. The inter-switch can perform operations such as target acquisition,
vector mode/time, tracking interval and TCPA/CPA on the side of units.
11. How to connect the external alarm

See page. 4-58 to 4-63.
There are four alarm output ports. An alarm event for alarm output can select in
[Menu] ->3 -> 6/7/8/9. When OPERATOR FITNESS is selected, other alarms
cannot be selected at the same port. The polarity of ALM-4 is inverted from those
of ALM-1, 2 and 3.
- ALM-1 to 3: Normal close
- ALM-4: Normal open
12. Is there any specific order in the connection of RCU-014, 015 and 016.
See page.7-71.
Connect the processor unit (RPU-013) with RCU-014 or RCU-015. Since
RCU-016 does not have a power switch, it cannot be directly connected to

14. Can the FAR-2xx7 serve as a sub monitor?

See page.4-20, 4-23 and 4-81.
Connect the Master radar (Video, B.P, HD and trigger) to MASTER (J616) on the
TB board. Adjust R401 on the SPU board so that the level of TP58 on the SPU
board should be 2Vp-p.
When ON is selected in the setting of “8. SUB MONITOR” on the [ANT] box
menu, ANT-X and SUB can be switched in the [ANT] box.
8-3
Q&A
15. Can the same ports be used for connecting a sub monitor?
See page.4-74.
There are two ports for connecting to the sub monitor, one for outputting semi-log
video signals and the other for full-log video signals. Select an appropriate port by
understanding the characteristics of each.
To use both ports for outputting same video signals semi-log or full-log, it is
required to modify the SPU board (03P9337).
To make the outputs of SUB DISPLAY-2 (SEMI-LOG: J618) same as the outputs
of SUB DISPLAY-1 (FULL-LOG: J617), follow the procedure below.
1) Remove the jumper (chip) of JP3 on the SPU board.

2) Jumper JP4 on the SPU board.
To increase the video level for the monitor:

SEMI-LOG output: Provide R356 (1 kohm) on the SPU board with a 1 kohm
resistor in parallel, and then the level will be increased by
50%.
FULL-LOG output: The applicable resistor is R364/1kohm but the level is not
increased so significantly.
16. Can the Radar-buoy connect?

No. Radar-buoy cannot be connected.
17. Which format should be used for HDG, AD format or NMEA format?
See page.4-42.
Either AD format or NMEA format can be used.
However, in case of AD format, input data to J608 on the TB board at the output
interval of 25 msec. In case of the NMEA format, input the HDT sentence to
J605 on the TB board at the speed of 38.4 kbps (IEC61162-2) and output interval
of 25 msec.
18. How many CU-200 can be connected?

See page. 4-48.
Two CU-200 can be connected via HUB-100. Setting is required for the 2nd

automatically assigned. The drive of the 1st CU-200 is A (left slot)/B (right slot),
and the drive of the 2nd one is C (left slot)/D (right slot).
Note:
For temporary measures just for a purpose of display of the coastline chart, the
coastline can be displayed by inserting the chart data card into J206 on the SPU
board and restart the unit. However this operation make the lid of the processor
unit left open.
8-4
Q&A
19. Which chart card is read when 2 chart cards are inserted into CU-200?
- When two chart cards are inserted:
Priority is given to a card that includes Detailed Data of the chart and includes
the own ship position within the range of the chart.
- If both cards include Detailed Data of the chart, the card that was displayed
before updating is read.
Note:
- The FAR receives the chart data from CU-200 when the display is updated, for
example, the change of the range and others.
- Contents of Detailed Data: depth contour, place name, etc
20. Can the PSU-007 use commonly for different supply voltages?
See page.4-72.

24. Sometimes the setting is not saved.

See page.4-1.
When the setting is changed, wait for at least 6 seconds before turning off the
power. If the power is turned off within 6 seconds after changing the setting, the
setting may not be saved in the flash memory.
25. When the power is restarted immediately after turning the power off,
the ST-BY status starts within 3 minutes.
When the power is restarted in a short while after turning it off, the Magnetron
has still been warmed up. In this case, 3 minutes delay time is not necessary,
resulting in shortened delay time. Since the delay time is determined by
detecting the voltage of the capacitor C304 on the SPU board, the delay time
varies depending on the detected voltage.
8-6
Q&A
26. What is the difference among the IMO, A, B, C and W types?

See page. 4-25.
IMO: IMO compliant A: Near-IMO specifications B: Non-Japanese fishing

W: Washington state (USA) ferry (special type with some special function added
to the B type)
Functions differ according to the type setting. For instance, the IMO type accepts
sentences of IEC611162 2nd ED (equivalent to NMEA Ver-3.0).
27. When the [1:HL OFF] key is pressed, the range ring and all marks
disappear. Is this normal?
It is a normal procedure. When the [1: HL OFF] key is pressed, HD lines and all
marks except radar echoes disappear to see echoes.
28. Where is the power switch of MU-201CR and MU-231CR located?

See page.7-74.
MU-201CR and MU-231CR do not have a power switch and power switch is
linked with the RPU-013. The power ON and OFF to MU-201CR and
MU-231CR is controlled by signals of #14 pin (+5 V POWER) of the DVI
connecter of the RPU-013.
29. The power cannot be turned on.

8-14
Q&A
60. How to determine the power cable size

Select a cable on which the supply voltage drop is 5% or less. The following
equation can be used for the calculation of the cable size.
- Voltage drop: Vd = K x r x I x L/1000

- Cable length: L = 1000 x Vd / K x I x r
K = Single phase DC, AC: 2 3 phase AC: 3
I = Amperage (A)
R = Resistance (ohm/km)
L = Cable length (m)
When TPYCY-2.5, for instance, is used a cable for power supply to the antenna
motor (220VAC/3 phase), the cable length that can contain the voltage drop
within 5% is:
Cable length: L = 1000 x Vd / K x I x r

L = 1000 x 11 / 3 x 3 x 7.41
L = 285 m
61. How to measure the frequency of the X-band radar

1) Select “TX” in [Menu] -> 0 -> 3 -> 6:ANT STOPPED.
2) Transmit by the long pulse and put a pickup antenna of the Cavity-frequency
meter closer to about 1 m to the front face of a slot antenna.
3) Turn the handle of the Cavity-frequency meter and find a point where the
indicator of the Cavity-frequency meter swings most.
4) Correct the direct-reading indication by means of a temperature compensating
cursor and read the frequency.
Note:
The maximum frequency error of the X-band radar is loss than ±55 MHz.
62. Can SC-60/120/50/110 be connected with the IMO-type radar for heading
data?
It can be connected to a ship in a range between 300 GT to 500 GT. Since it is

another method for checking on the LAN communication, check [ANT] box menu
to see the communication between radars connected to the LAN. When [Menu] ->
6:CARD cannot be accessed, it means that communication is not being conducted
with CU-200.
68. The ALERT BOX displays VIDEO error.

This is the presentation of an error that IF/VIDEO signals from TR unit cannot be
detected on the SPU board. If the presentation of TUNE is normal, the TR unit can
be regarded as normal.
Check the connection of the co-axial cable on the IF-VIDEO line of the TB board
and the transceiver unit. Check also the video signal outputs of #8 (Video out) pin
of SLAVE-1 or SLAVE-2 on the TB board. If signals are outputted, the problem
lies on a circuit after the video circuit on the SPU board.

69. Give the information on SYSTEM FAIL alarm.

See page.4-58.
SYSTEM FAIL alarm is outputted from the control unit when control signals
from the processor unit cannot be received on the control unit. The setting of
SYSTEM FAIL is made on the DIP switch on the control unit. It includes the
setting whether to output an alarm or not and the setting on the polarity.

Q&A
70. Echoes are reversed left to right on the S-band radar.

Is not the antenna reversely rotating? The antenna should rotate leftward viewed
from underneath. Change the connection of one phase of 3-phase power supply of
the antenna motor.

the same horizontal directivity
In relation to antenna Loss in waveguide tube Large Small
Size of waveguide tube Small Large
Detection range Small Large
Others Bearing and range resolution Large Small
Noise index of receiver Large Small
2) Range resolution:
The distance R is determined by the pulse length: ( τ ).
R (m)=150 x τ
For instance, if the pulse length is 0.07 µ s for S1 pulse
R = 150 x 0.07
R = 10.5 m
3) Minimum range:
The pulse length ( τ ) determines the minimum range R.
R (m)=150 x τ
In the actual situation, the relation between the antenna height and vertical beam
width produce a shadow sector (target is not located within the vertical beam
width). This makes it impossible to detect targets at a close range. If the antenna
height is lowered to make the minimum detection range shorter, this makes the
maximum detection range shorter.
The minimum detection range can be calculated in the following equation:
Rmin = H / tan ( θ v/2)
where Antenna height (m) and vertical beam width ( θ v deg.).
Assuming that the antenna height is 30 m and the vertical beam width is 20
degrees (in case of the antenna XN-24AF)
Rmin = 30 / tan (20/2)
Rmin = 170.1 m
8-20
Q&A
4) Bearing resolution
It refers to the limit of the bearing angle in which approaching targets at the
same range can be separately displayed on the screen. This is dependent on the
directivity of the antenna (beam width). The beam width of the antenna
(XN-24AF) is 0.95 degrees.
The relation between the antenna effective length D (m) and beam width θ
(deg.) is expressed in the following equation:
θ (deg.) = 70 x λ (m)/D (m)
5) Propagation distance (Radar horizon)

The range to the horizon for radar waves is about 10% longer than the range to
the optical horizon and expressed in the following equation.
D (NM) = 2.23 h h: Radar antenna height
D (NM) = 2.23 ( h1 + h 2 )
Radar antenna height: h1 Target height: h2
Assuming that the radar antenna height is 30 m, and target height is 5 m,

D (NM) = 2.23 ( 30 + 5 )
D = 17.2 NM
6) Equation of wave propagation

The equation of the radar wave propagation in the free space is expressed as
follows:
P×G A S1 = Received power G = Antenna gain
S１＝ ×σ × P = Sending power R = Distance
4×π × R 2
4×π × R 2
Generally speaking,
there is a relation shown by this equation: A = G× λ 2/(4× π )
P × G 2 × λ2 × σ
S１＝
(4 × π ) 3 × R 4
However, since there is a need to take composite waves created by direct waves
and sea-reflected waves into consideration in the equation of the radar wave
propagation over the sea, the actual value differs from the value obtained in the
equation above. The transmission output and antenna 3
area determines the detection range. For instance, when
TX output is doubled, the detection range is increased
2
by 1.19 times and the antenna area is doubled, the ANT
detection range is doubled. As is apparent from the

description above, to extend the detection range, it is 1 Power
more effective to increase the antenna area than
increasing TX output. The graph on the right shows the Range
relation among the detection range, TX output and 1 2 3
antenna area when their magnification is changed. Power / Antenna
