WARNING

Radio Frequency

Radiation Hazard

The radar antenna emits electromagnetic

radio frequency (RF) energy which can be

harmful, particularly to your eyes. Never

look directly into the antenna aperture from

a close distance while the radar is in

operation or expose yourself to the trans-

mitting antenna at a close distance.

Distances at which RF radiation levels of

100 and 10 W/m

exist are given in the

table below.

Note: If the antenna unit is installed at a

close distance in front of the wheel house,

your administration may require halt of

transmission within a certain sector of

antenna revolution. This is possible - Ask

your FURUNO representative or dealer to

provide this feature.

FOREWORD

A Word to the Owner of the MODEL1722/1722C/1723C

Series Marine Radar

FURUNO Electric Company thanks you for purchasing the

MODEL1722/1722C/1723C Series Marine Radar. We are confident you will

discover why the FURUNO name has become synonymous with quality and

reliability.

For over 50 years FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable

reputation for quality and reliability throughout the world. This dedication to

excellence is furthered by our extensive global network of agents and dealers.

Your radar is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the

marine environment. However, no machine can perform its intended function

unless properly installed and maintained. Please carefully read and follow the

operation and maintenance procedures set forth in this manual.

We would appreciate feedback from you, the end-user, about whether we are

achieving our purposes.

Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO.

FOREWORD

Features

The MODEL1722/1722C/1723C series work within our new product-network

system called the “NavNet.” Each product has an IP address to communicate

with NavNet compatible products within the network, using TCP/IP protocol

through an Ethernet 10 Base-T network.

The main features are

! Bright 7” screen visible even under direct sunlight.

MODEL1722 series: Monochrome LCD

MODEL1722C series: Color LCD

MODEL1723C series: High-precision color LCD

! User friendly operation with combination of discrete keys, soft keys and cursor pad.

! Accepts FURUNO and Nav-charts™ (NAVIONICS) or C-MAP NT/NT+ charts (C-MAP).

All names mentioned are registered trademarks of their respective companies.

! Fast chart redraw.

! Built-in NavNet interface circuit board.

! 12-channel GPS Receiver GP-310B with highly accurate position fixing optionally

available or GP-320B with WAAS (see the note in below.)

! User programmable function keys.

! Video sounder picture available with connection to optional network sounder.

! ARP function (when connecting with MODEL1833/1833C series)

SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS

All NavNet products incorporate a “network circuit board” to integrate each

NavNet product on board through an optional LAN cable (Ethernet 10BASE-T).

Each NavNet product is assigned an IP address to enable transfer of images

between other NavNet products. For example, video plotter pictures can be

transferred to a radar and vice versa. Pictures received via the NavNet may be

adjusted at the receiving end.

The number of display units which may be installed depends on the number of

network sounder connected. For a system incorporating three or more products,

a “hub” is required to process data.

For one network sounder: one radar and three plotters

For two network sounder: one radar and two plotters

WHAT IS WAAS?

WAAS, available in North America, is a provider in the worldwide SBAS (Satellite

Based Augmentation System) navigation system. SBAS provides GPS signal

corrections to SBAS users, for even better position accuracy, typically better

than three meters. Two more SBAS providers are also currently under

development, MSAS (Multi-Functional Satellite Augmentation System) for Japan

and EGNOS (Euro Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) for Europe. All

provides will be compatible with one another, thus providing “seamless” position

fixes to SBAS users.

At the time of this software release, SBAS is still under development (Providers

are expected to have initial operations capability from the times shown above.)

During this developmental period, which may last for several years, there is no

guarantee of the accuracy, integrity, continuity, or availability of the SBAS signal.

Furuno will accept no responsibility for the use of the signal for other than the

above stated purpose. It is the user’s responsibility to exercise common

prudence and navigational judgment while using the SBAS signal.

Note: This manual uses “WAAS” when referring to any SBAS provider.

2.4 Adjusting the Gain

The [GAIN] key adjusts the sensitivity of the radar receiver. It works in a manner

similar to the volume control of a broadcast receiver, which amplifies received

signals.

The proper setting is such that the background noise is just visible on the screen.

If your gain setting is too low, weak echoes may be missed. On the other hand

excessive gain yields too much background noise; strong targets may be missed

because of the poor contrast between desired echoes and the background noise

on the display.

2.5 Reducing Sea Clutter

2.5.1 How the A/C SEA works

Echoes from waves can be troublesome, covering the central part of the display

with random signals known as “sea clutter”. The higher the waves and the higher

the antenna is above the water, the further the clutter will extend. Sea clutter

may affect radar performance because real targets are sometimes hidden by the

echoes of small waves. (See the left-hand figure in the figure below.) When sea

clutter masks the picture, adjust the A/C SEA to reduce the clutter.

The A/C SEA reduces the amplification of echoes at short ranges (where clutter

is the greatest) and progressively increases amplification as the range increases,

so amplification will be normal at those ranges where there is no sea clutter.

A/C SEA adjusted;

sea clutter suppressed

ON or OFF as appropriate. When turned on, it overrides A/C SEA and A/C

RAIN settings.

6. Press the [GAIN] key on the front panel or RETURN soft key to finish.

2.6 Reducing Precipitation Clutter

The vertical beamwidth of the antenna is designed to see surface targets even

when the ship is rolling. However, by this design the unit will also detect rain

clutter (rain, snow, hail, etc.) in the same manner as normal targets. Precipitation

clutter shows as random dots on the screen.

2.6.1 Adjusting the A/C RAIN

When echoes from precipitation mask solid targets, adjust the A/C RAIN. This

split up these unwanted echoes into a speckled pattern, making recognition of

solid targets easier.

1. Press the [GAIN] key.

2. Press the A/C RAIN soft key to show the A/C RAIN window.

Radar interference may occur when near another shipborne radar that is

operating in the same frequency band as your radar. Its on-screen appearance

looks like many bright dots either scattered at random or in the form of dotted

lines extending from the center to the edge of the display. Interference effects

are distinguishable from normal echoes because they do not appear in the same

place on successive rotations of the scanner.

Be sure to turn off the interference rejection circuit when no interference exists –

weak targets may be missed.

2.17 Using the Offset EBL

The offset EBL can be used to predict a potential collision course, and can also

be used to measure the range and bearing between two targets.

2.17.1 Predicting a collision course

The procedure below may be used to check if a radar target is on a collision

course with your vessel.

1. Press the [EBL/VRM] key to show the EBL/VRM soft keys.

2. Press the EBL1 ON soft key to turn on the EBL1.

3. Press the OFFSET soft key. The origin of EBL1 moves to the cursor position

and an “X” appears at the cursor position.

4. Use the cursor pad to place the cursor on the radar target which looks like it

might be on a collision course with own ship.

5. Push the [ENTER] knob to fix the origin position.

6. After waiting for a few minutes (at least three minutes), rotate the [ENTER]

knob so the EBL bisects the target at the new position. If the target tracks

along the EBL towards the center of the display (your ship’s position), the

target may be on a collision course.

7. To cancel the offset EBL, press the OFFSET soft key.

2.20 Echo Averaging

The echo average feature, available with selection of a Model 1833/C series

network radar as radar source, effectively suppresses sea clutter. Echoes

received from stable targets such as ships appear on the screen at almost the

same position during every rotation of the antenna. On the other hand, unstable

echoes such as sea clutter appear at random positions.

To distinguish real target echoes from sea clutter, echo average performs

scan-to-scan correlation. Correlation is made by storing and averaging echo

signals over successive picture frames. If an echo is solid and stable, it is

presented in its normal intensity. Sea clutter is averaged over successive scans

resulting in the reduced brilliance, making it easier to discriminate real targets

from sea clutter.

To properly use the echo average function, it is recommended to first suppress

sea clutter with the A/C SEA control and then do the following:

1. If not displayed, press the [HIDE/SHOW] key to display the radar soft keys.

2. Press the SIGNAL PROC. soft key.

3. Press the E. AVG soft key to select desired echo averaging.

OFF: No averaging

LOW: Helps distinguish targets from sea clutter and suppresses brilliance

of unstable echoes.

MED: Distinguishes small stationary targets such as navigation buoys.

HIGH: Stably displays distant targets.

2.22 Guard Alarm

The guard alarm allows the operator to set the desired range and bearing for a

guard zone. When ships, islands, landmasses, etc. violate the guard zone, an

audio alarm sounds and the offending target blinks to call the operator’s

attention.

CAUTION

• The alarm should not be relied upon as

the sole means for detecting possible

collision situations.

• A/C SEA, A/C RAIN and GAIN controls

should be properly adjusted to be sure

The equipment then searches for targets inside the guard zone to determine the

guard alarm type. If a target is found inside the guard zone the guard zone type

becomes an “Outward guard alarm”, and any target exiting, the guard zone will

trigger an alarm. If no target is found the guard zone type becomes an “Inward

guard alarm”, and any targets entering the guard zone will trigger the alarm. The

guard alarm type is shown as G1 (G2) IN or G1(G2) OUT.

Note 1: When the radar range is less than the guard zone range, ”G1 (G2) IN” or

“G1 (G2) OUT” changes to “G1 (G2) ***.” The guard alarm function is

not available while this indication appears.

Note 2: If the network radar is set to standby while the guard alarm is active, the

guard alarm is cancelled. The guard alarm is redisplayed when the

radar is set to transmit again.

2.22.2 When the alarm is violated…

Any radar target violating the guard zone will flash, the audio alarm sounds, and

the alarm icon appears (red on the color model). Additionally the message

“TARGET ENTERED INTO GUARD1(GUARD2)” or “TARGET LEFT FROM

GUARD1(GUARD2)” is displayed at the bottom of the screen, depending on the

guard zone type. Press the [CLEAR] key to silence the alarm.

cancelled, the audio alarm sounds and the radar continues transmitting. If no

target is found the radar goes into standby, for the number of minutes selected

on the RADAR DISPLAY SETUP menu. This feature is useful when you do not

need the radar’s function continuously but want to be alerted to radar targets in a

specific area. “WTCH” appears at the top left corner when Watchman is active.

2.25 ARP (option), TTM operation

When the radar source is ARP-equipped Model 1833/C series network radar,

you can manually and automatically acquire and track 10 targets. Once a target

is acquired automatically or manually it is automatically tracked within 0.1 to 32

nm. When the FURUNO heading sensor PG-1000 is connected, RMC sentence

(NMEA) is required for true heading data.

Alternatively, you can display the tracks of other ships by receiving the data

sentence “TTM” through the NETWORK or NMEA port. However, targets cannot

be acquired.

Usage precautions for ARP

WARNING

No one navigational aid should be relied

upon for the safety of vessel and crew.

The navigator has the responsibility to

check all aids available to confirm

position. Electronic aids are not

a substitute for basic navigational

principles and common sense.

• This auto plotter automatically tracks an

automatically or manually acquired radar

target and calculates its course and

speed, indicating them by a vector. Since

the data generated by the auto plotter

are based on what radar targets are

selected, the radar must always be

optimally tuned for use with the auto

plotter, to ensure required targets will not

be lost or unwanted targets such as sea

returns and noise will not be acquired

and tracked.

• A target does not always mean a land-

mass, reef, ships or other surface vessels

but can imply returns from sea surface

and clutter. As the level of clutter changes

with environment, the operator should

properly adjust the A/C SEA, A/C RAIN

and GAIN controls to be sure target

echoes are not eliminated from the

radar screen.

CAUTION

The plotting accuracy and response of

this auto plotter meets IMO standards.

Tracking accuracy is affected by the

following:

• Tracking accuracy is affected by course

change. One to two minutes is required to

restore vectors to full accuracy after an

abrupt course change. (The actual

amount depends on gyrocompass

specifications.)

• The amount of tracking delay is inversely

proportional to the relative speed of the

target. Delay is on the order of 15-30

seconds for high relative speed; 30-60

seconds for low relative speed.

Display accuracy is affected by the

following:

• Echo intensity

• Radar transmission pulsewidth

• Radar bearing error

• Gyrocompass error

• Course change (own ship or target)

2.25.8 CPA/TCPA alarm (ARP)

When the predicted CPA of any target becomes smaller than a preset CPA alarm

range or its predicted TCPA less than a preset TCPA alarm limit, an audio alarm

sounds, which you may silence with the [CLEAR] key. In addition, the target plot

symbol of the offending target changes to a triangle and flashes together with its

vector. Press the [ALARM] key and the message COLLISION ALARM appears.

Press the CLEAR ALARM soft key to acknowledge the alarm. The flashing of the

triangle plot symbol continues until you intentionally terminate tracking of the

target. The ARP continuously monitors the predicted range at the Closest Point

of Approach (CPA) and predicted time to CPA (TCPA) of each target to own ship.

Provided that this feature is used correctly, it will help prevent the risk of collision

by alerting you to threatening targets. It is important that gain, A/C SEA, A/C

RAIN and other radar controls are properly adjusted and the ARP is set up so

that it can track targets effectively.

CPA/TCPA alarm ranges must be set up properly taking into consideration the

size, tonnage, speed, turning performance and other characteristics of own ship.

CAUTION

The CPA/TCPA alarm should never be

relied upon as the sole means for detect-

ing the risk of collision. The navigator is

not relieved of the responsibility to keep

visual lookout for avoiding collisions,

whether or not the radar or other plotting

aid is in use.

Follow the steps shown below to set the CPA/TCPA alarm range:

1. Press the [MENU] key followed by the ARP SETUP soft key.

2.26 Interpreting the Radar Display

2.26.1 General

Minimum and maximum ranges

Minimum range

The minimum range is defined by the shortest distance at which, using a scale of

1.5 or 0.75 nm, a target having an echoing area of 10 m2 is still shown separate

from the point representing the antenna position. It is mainly dependent on the

pulselength, antenna height, and signal processing such as main bang

suppression and digital quantization.

Maximum range

The maximum detecting range of the radar, Rmax, varies considerably

depending on several factors such as the height of the antenna above the

waterline, the height of the target above the sea, the size, shape and material of

the target, and atmospheric conditions.

Under normal atmospheric conditions, the maximum range is equal to the radar

horizon or a little shorter. The radar horizon is longer than the optical one by

about 6% because of the diffraction property of the radar signal. Rmax is given

in the following equation.

Rma

= 2.2 x

(

h1 + h2

)

where Rmax: radar horizon (nautical miles)

h1: antenna height (m)

h2: target height (m)

Radar horizon

Optical horizon

Radar horizon

For example, if the height of the antenna above the waterline is 9 meters and the

height of the target is 16 meters, the maximum radar range is;

Rma

= 2.2 x

(

9+ 16

)

= 2.2 x

(

3 + 4

)

= 15.4 nm

It should be noted that the detection range is reduced by precipitation (which

absorbs the radar signal).

2. RADAR OPERATION

2-45

Radar resolution

There are two important factors in radar resolution (discrimination): bearing

resolution and range resolution.

Bearing resolution

Bearing resolution is the ability of the radar to display the

echoes received from two targets, which are at the same range and close

together, as separate targets. Bearing resolution is directly proportional to the

antenna length, and inversely proportional to the radar's wavelength.

Range resolution

Range resolution is the ability to display the echoes received

from two targets, which are on the same bearing and close to each other, as

separate targets.

Bearing accuracy

One of the most important features of the radar is how accurately the bearing of

a target can be measured. The accuracy of bearing measurement basically

depends on the narrowness of the radar beam. However, the bearing is usually

taken relative to the ship’s heading, and thus, proper adjustment of the heading

marker at installation is an important factor in ensuring bearing accuracy. To

minimize error when measuring the bearing of a target, select a range which will

put the target as far out to the edge of the radar screen as possible.

Range measurement

Measurement of the range to a target is also a very important function of the

radar. Generally, there are two means of measuring range: the fixed range rings

and the variable range marker (VRM). The fixed range rings appear on the

screen with a predetermined interval and provide a rough estimate of the range

to a target. The variable range marker’s diameter is increased or decreased so

that the marker touches the inner edge of the target, allowing the operator to

obtain more accurate range measurements.

2. RADAR OPERATION

2-46

2.26.2 False echoes

Occasionally echo signals appear on the screen at positions where there is no

target, or disappear even if there are targets. False target situations may be

recognized, however, if you understand why they are displayed. Typical false

echoes are shown below.

Multiple echoes

Multiple echoes occur when a transmitted pulse returns from a solid object like a

large ship, bridge, or breakwater. A second, a third or more echoes may be

observed on the display at double, triple or other multiples of the actual range of

the target as shown below. Multiple reflection echoes can be reduced and often

removed by decreasing the gain (sensitivity) or properly adjusting the [A/C SEA]

control.

Own ship

Target

Multiple

Multiple echoes

Sidelobe echoes

Every time the radar pulse is transmitted, some radiation escapes on each side

of the beam. This stray RF is called sidelobe. If a target exists where it can be

detected by the side lobes as well as the main lobe, the side echoes may be

represented on both sides of the true echo at the same range. Sidelobes appear

usually only on short ranges and from strong targets. They can be reduced

through careful reduction of the gain or proper adjustment of the A/C SEA

control.

2.26.3 SART (Search and Rescue Transponder)

A Search and Rescue Transponder (SART) may be triggered by any X-Band (3

cm) radar within a range of approximately 8 nm. Each radar pulse received

causes it to transmit a response which is swept repetitively across the complete

radar frequency band. When interrogated, it first sweeps rapidly (0.4 µs) through

the band before beginning a relatively slow sweep (7.5 µs) through the band

back to the starting frequency. This process is repeated for a total of twelve

complete cycles. At some point in each sweep, the SART frequency will match

that of the interrogating radar and be within the pass band of the radar receiver.

If the SART is within range, the frequency match during each of the 12 slow

sweeps will produce a response on the radar display, thus a line of 12 dots

equally spaced by about 0.64 nautical miles will be shown.

When the range to the SART is reduced to about 1 nm, the radar display may

show also the 12 responses generated during the fast sweeps. These additional

dot responses, which also are equally spaced by 0.64 nm, will be interspersed

with the original line of 12 dots. They will appear slightly weaker and smaller

than the original dots.

2. RADAR OPERATION

2-49

General procedure for detecting SART response

1. Use the range scale of 6 or 12 nm as the spacing between the SART

responses is about 0.6 nm (1125 m) to distinguish the SART.

2. Turn off the automatic clutter suppression (if applicable).

3. Turn off the Interference Rejector.

General remarks on receiving SART

SART range errors

When responses from only the 12 low frequency sweeps are visible (when the

SART is at a range greater than about 1 nm), the position at which the first dot is

displayed may be as much as 0.64 nm beyond the true position of the SART.

When the range closes so that the fast sweep responses are seen also, the first

of these will be no more than 150 meters beyond the true position.

Radar bandwidth

This is normally matched to the radar pulselength and is usually switched with

the range scale and the associated pulselength. Narrow bandwidths of 3-5 MHz

are used with long pulses on long range and wide bandwidths of 10-25 MHz with

short pulses on short ranges.

Any radar bandwidth of less than 5 MHz will attenuate the SART signal slightly,

so it is preferable to use a medium bandwidth to ensure optimum detection of

the SART.

Radar side lobes

As the SART is approached, sidelobes from the radar antenna may show the

SART responses as a series of arcs or concentric rings. These can be removed

by the use of the [A/C SEA] control although it may be operationally useful to

observe the sidelobes as they may be easier to detect in clutter conditions and

also they will confirm that the SART is near to the ship.

Gain

For maximum range SART detection the normal gain setting for long range

detection should be used, that is, with background noise speckle visible.

2. RADAR OPERATION

2-50

A/C SEA control

For optimum range SART detection, this control should be set to the minimum.

Care should be exercised as wanted target in sea clutter may be obscured. Note

also that in clutter conditions the first few dots of the SART response may not be

detectable, irrespective of the setting of the anti-clutter sea control. In this case,

the position of the SART may be estimated by measuring 9.5 nm from the

furthest dot back towards own ship.

Some sets have automatic/manual anti-clutter sea control facilities in which case

the operator should switch to manual.

A/C RAIN control

This should be used normally (to break up areas of rain) when trying to detect a

SART response which, being a series of dots, is not affected by the action of the

anti-clutter rain circuitry. Note that racon responses, which are often in the form

of a long flash, will be affected by the use of this control.

Some sets have automatic/manual anti-clutter rain control facilities in which case

the operator should switch to manual.

Note: This SART information is excerpted from IMO SN/Circ 197 Operation of

Marine Radar for SART Detection.

2.26.4 Racon (Radar Beacon)

A racon is a radar transponder which emits a characteristic signal when triggered

by a ship’s radar (usually only the 3 centimeter band). The signal may be emitted

on the same frequency as that of the triggering radar, in which case it is

superimposed on the ship's radar display automatically.

The racon signal appears on the PPI as a radial line originating at a point just

beyond the position of the radar beacon or as a Morse code signal (see figure

below) displayed radially from just beyond the beacon.

3.6.4 Track plotting method and interval for own ship track

In drawing the own ship track, first the ship’s position fed from a navigation

receiver is stored into the unit’s memory at an interval of time or distance. A

shorter interval provides for better reconstruction of the track, but the storage

time of the track is reduced. When the track memory becomes full, the oldest

track is erased to make room for the latest.

Track plotting method

Track may be plotted by time or distance interval. The default setting is “time.”

1. Press the [MENU] key followed by the CHART SETUP and TRACKS &

MARKS CONTROL soft keys to open the TRACK CONTROL menu.

3.9 Routes

Often a trip from one place to another involves several course changes,

requiring a series of route points (waypoints) which you navigate to, one after

another. The sequence of waypoints leading to the ultimate destination is called

a route. Your unit can automatically advance to the next waypoint on a route, so

you do not have to change the destination waypoint repeatedly.

You can store up to 200 routes, and a route may have 35 waypoints.

3.10 Navigation

This section shows you how to get to a desired destination by “quick points,”

waypoints, port services and routes.

Note: When the plotter data is received from other NavNet unit connected,

reciprocal setting and canceling of destination is available by using ZDA

sentenceReferring to “6.5 Outputting Data Through the Network”.

3.10.1 Navigating to a “quick point”

The “quick point” feature allows you to navigate to point(s) without retaining the

data indefinitely in your unit’s memory.

Selecting quick point entry method

You need to tell your unit how to set the quick point: 1POINT, 35POINTS (up to

35 points) or 35PTS/PORT SVC. (For how to navigate to points/port services
