●PRECAUTIONS●
DANGER
Never conduct inspection or repair work of equipment
components.
Inspection or repair work by uncertified personnel may
result in fire hazard or electrocution.
For inspection and repair work of equipment
components, consult with our branch office, branch
shop, sales office, or our distributor in your district.
- iii -
DANGER
Make sure to turn off the antenna operation switch.
Failure to comply may result in injuries caused by
physical contact with the rotating antenna.
WARNING
When conducting maintenance work, make sure to turn
off the power and unplug the power line of the processor
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.
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.
Ask the nearest branch, business office or a dealer for
inspection and repair.
- iv -
WARNING
Turn off the main power source before starting
maintenance.
Otherwise, an electric shock or injury may be caused.
Set the safety switch for stopping the scanner unit to the
OFF position.
Otherwise, an accidental contact with the rotating
scanner unit may cause injury.
-v-
WARNING
Turn off the main power source before starting
maintenance.
Otherwise, an electric shock or injury may be caused.
Set the safety switch for stopping the scanner unit to the
OFF position.
Otherwise, an accidental contact with the rotating
scanner unit may cause injury.
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.
- vi -
CAUTION
When using the [RAIN] function, never set the
suppression level too high canceling out all image noises
from the rain or snow at the 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 [RAIN] function, make sure to choose the
most appropriate image noise suppression level.
Take off your wrist watch when bringing your hands close
to the magnetron.
Otherwise, your watch may be damaged because the
magnetron is a strong magnet.

◆◆◆PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATION◆◆◆
- viii -
◆◆◆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.
(4) Lay the victim on this back and loosen his necktie, clothes, belt, etc.
(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.
- ix -
☆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.)
-x-
☆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)
(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. Commit the victim to a medical specialist depending
on his condition. (Never give him alcoholic drinks.) To let him recover from the mental
shock, it is necessary for persons concerned to understand his situations and the necessary
treatment.

Note: After tune adjustment with software button once, push the [TUNE] knob for tune
adjustment with [TUNE] knob. 3
3.4.5 Control Sensitivity [GAIN]
Procedures 1 Control noise on the radar display by turning the [GAIN] control until
targets can be easily observed.
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.
Note: After gain adjustment with software button once, push the [GAIN] knob for gain
adjustment with [GAIN] knob.
Caution
When using the [SEA] 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] function, make sure to choose
the most appropriate image noise suppression level.
3-10
Procedures 1 Control the sea clutter returns on the radar display by turning the [SEA]
control until targets can be easily observed.
The sea clutter suppression function suppresses sea clutter returns by decreasing the receiving
sensitivity on a short range.
Turning the [SEA] control clockwise heightens 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.
Note: After STC adjustments with software button once, push the [SEA] knob for STC
adjustment with [SEA] knob.
Caution
When using the [RAIN] function, never set the
suppression level too high canceling out all image
noises from the rain or snow at the 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 [RAIN] function, make sure to choose
the most appropriate image noise suppression level.
Procedures 1 Control the rain/snow clutter returns on the radar display by turning the
[RAIN] control until targets can be easily observed.
When the [RAIN] control is turned clockwise, the rain/snow clutter suppression function
suppresses rain/snow clutter returns and gets targets hidden by rain/snow clutter returns to
appear on the radar display. However, be careful that excessive suppression may cause small
targets to be overlooked. Since the rain/snow clutter suppression function also has the effect
of suppressing sea clutter, the suppression efficiency improves when the [RAIN] control is
used with the [SEA] control. In general, turn the [RAIN] control fully to the left.
Note: After rain adjustment with software button once, push the [RAIN] knob for rain
adjustment with [RAIN] knob.

[I] 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.

[IV] False Echo by Multiple Reflection
When there is a large structure or ship with a high vertical surface near own ship as shown in Figure 5.5,
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.

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 [TX/PRF] 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.

5.5 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.
SART code
Position of SART
Land
Other ships
[Example of Display]
Attention
z When you set the radar to detect the SART signal, small 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 end of detecting the START signal, adjust the radar normally
again. Then the radar returns normally to the nautical mode.

WARNING
6-2
CAUTION
Do not put watches, clocks, or magnetic cards
close to the modulator unit since this unit holds
magnetrons having strong magnetic force.
Failure or data destruction of the above devices
may result.
After finishing the maintenance work, reset the safety switch to the ON position.
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:
(a) The proper fastening torque of the fitting bolts (M8) is 1176 to 1470 N•cm (120 to 150kgf•cm) (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 1470N•cm (150kgf•cm).
Do not fasten the bolts with a torque exceeding the specified value. Otherwise, the screws may be
broken.
(b) Use an offset wrench of 11 mm × 13 mm or a double-ended wrench of 13 mm × 17 mm (not longer than
200 mm).
(c) 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.)

7.1 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.
Melted fuses are caused by any clear cause. When a fuse is replaced, it is necessary to check the related
circuits even if there is no trouble. In checking, note that there is some dispersion in the fusing characteristics.

Remove the shield cover of the modulator and check that no charge remains in the high-voltage modulator
circuit. Then, remove the socket of the magnetron. The magnetron can be demounted by removing the
screws fixing it. When mounting a new magnetron, do not touch the magnet with a screwdriver or put it on an
iron plate. After replacement, connect the lead wire correctly.
The magnetron that has been kept in storage for a long time may cause sparks and operate unstably when its
operation is started. Perform the aging in the following procedures:
(1) Warm up the cathode for a longer time than usually. (20 to 30 minutes in the STBY state.)
(2) Start the operation from the short pulse range and shift it gradually to the longer pulse ranges. If the
