1. Guarantee of Antenna Motor and Magnetron
The life of parts varies with operating conditions. The table below shows the estimated
lifetime to be used as a guide.

2. Replacement of Magnetron
The Magnetron is a ferromagnetic substance. When replacing the Magnetron, remove
your watch (a watch can be damaged) and remove it by using a non-magnetic
screwdriver. The outline of the replacing procedure is as follows:

Procedure:
1. Refer to the photo illustrating part layout in the following pages and remove the
magnetron.
- FAR-2xx7: page. 2-11 - FAR-2827W: page. 2-20
- FAR-2837S: page. 2-24 - FAR-2837SW: page. 2-30
2. Turn the power on and check the magnetron heater voltage.
3. Wait for about 30 minutes in the ST-BY state.
4. Put the radar in the send state in the long range and check the magnetron current.
5. Wait for about 30 minutes in the send state.
6. Execute tune initialize in “[Menu] -> 1 -> 3:TUNE INITIALIZE”.
7. Reset each preset time to “0” in “[Menu]->0->4->8:ON TIME, 9:TX TIME”.

1) Method for adjusting magnetron current
Basically, there is no need for adjusting the Magnetron current. Even if a Magnetron
is replaced, it is not needed to adjust it.
- Make a transmission at L pulse and adjust VR1 on the MD board so that voltage
between J3 - #1 and #3 on the RFC board is within the voltage range specified.

2) Method for adjusting the heater voltage


Basically, there is no need for adjusting the heater voltage in the field. The heater
voltage is measured at J833-#11 and-#12 on the PWR (RF) board.

- In ST-BY, S1-M1 pulse state:


Adjust R28 on the PWR (RF) board so as to achieve the voltage specified.
- In TX, M2-L pulse state:
Adjust R32 on the PWR (RF) board so as to achieve the voltage specified.

FAR-2x37SW STBY/S 9.1 to 9.3

4. Replacement of MIC
If the MIC is damaged, the R. MONITOR values are substantially varied.
When replacing the MIC alone, it may be damaged if radar waves from other ship get
into it. When replacing the MIC, be sure to do replacing works in a room or a ship so
as to prevent radar waves from getting into the MIC.
After the replacement, be sure to execute “TUNE INITIALIZE”.
- Setting of “TUNE INITIALIZE: [Menu] -> 1 -> 3:TUNE INITIALIZE”
