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
2
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.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
All NavNet products incorporate a โ€œnetwork circuit boardโ€ 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 โ€œhubโ€ 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 โ€œseamlessโ€ position
fixes to SBAS users.

purposes, provides simulated operation to help acquaint you with the many
features your unit has to offer. It allows you to view and control a simulated
plotter, radar and sounder picture, without position-fixing equipment, network
radar or a network sounder. Most controls are operative, thus you may practice
setting destination, enter waypoints, measure range and bearing to a target, etc.
The simulation icon (

6. Press the RETURN soft key.
7. Press the [MENU] key to close the menu.
Note: If the auto setting does not provide satisfactory tuning, see the installation
manual for how to adjust tuning.
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 โ€œsea clutterโ€. 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.

The heading line indicates the ship's heading in all presentation modes. The
heading line is a line from the own ship position to the outer edge of the radar
display area and appears at zero degrees on the bearing scale in head-up
mode; it changes its orientation depending on the ship orientation in north-up,
course-up and true motion modes.
The north marker appears as a short dashed line. In the head-up and course-up
modes the north marker moves around the bearing scale as the shipโ€™s heading
moves.
To temporarily erase the heading line and north marker, press the RADAR
DISPLY soft key followed by the HL OFF soft key. Release the key to redisplay

2.14 Reducing Radar Interference
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 โ€“
weak targets may be missed.

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 operatorโ€™s
attention.
CAUTION
โ€ข The alarm should not be relied upon as
the sole means for detecting possible
collision situations.

How to set a guard alarm zone
2. RADAR OPERATION
2-31
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 โ€œOutward guard alarmโ€, and any target exiting, the guard zone will
trigger an alarm. If no target is found the guard zone type becomes an โ€œInward
guard alarmโ€, 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, โ€G1 (G2) INโ€ or
โ€œG1 (G2) OUTโ€ changes to โ€œG1 (G2) ***.โ€ 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 violatedโ€ฆ
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
โ€œTARGET ENTERED INTO GUARD1(GUARD2)โ€ or โ€œTARGET LEFT FROM
GUARD1(GUARD2)โ€ 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 radarโ€™s function continuously but want to be alerted to radar targets in a
specific area. โ€œWTCHโ€ 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 โ€œTTMโ€ 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.
โ€ข 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.
โ€ข 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:
โ€ข 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.)
โ€ข 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:
โ€ข Echo intensity
โ€ข Radar transmission pulsewidth
โ€ข Radar bearing error
โ€ข Gyrocompass error
โ€ข 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
x
= 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
x
= 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 shipโ€™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 markerโ€™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
True

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

2-49
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 shipโ€™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 shipโ€™s position fed from a navigation
receiver is stored into the unitโ€™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.

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.
