SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
iv
Do not depend on one navigation
device for the navigation of the
ship. The navigator must check all
aids available to confirm position.
Electronic aids are not a
replacement for basic navigation
principles and common sense.
· The ARPA automatically tracks an
automatically or manually acquired
radar target and calculates its
course and speed, indicating them
by a vector. Since the data from the
auto plotter depend on the selected
radar targets, the radar must be
optimally tuned for use with the auto
plotter, to ensure required targets
will not be lost or unnecessary
targets like sea returns and noise
will not be acquired and tracked.
· A target is not always a landmass,
reef, ship, but can also be returns
from the sea surface and from
clutter. As the level of clutter
changes with the environment, the
operator must correctly adjust the
A/C SEA, A/C RAIN and GAIN
controls so that the target echoes do
not disappear from the radar screen.
CAUTION
CAUTION
The tracking accuracy is affected by the
following:
· The tracking accuracy is affected by
course change. One to two minutes is
required to restore vectors to full
accuracy after a sudden 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.
The data from ARPA and AIS are
intended for reference purposes only.
Check all available navigation aids to
determine target movement.
WARNING LABELS
Warning labels are attached to the equipment.
Do not remove any label. If a label is missing or
damaged, contact a FURUNO agent or dealer
about replacement.
WARNING
Radiation hazard. Only qualified
personnel should work inside scanner.
Confirm that TX has stopped before
opening scanner.
ANTENNA UNIT
TFT LCD
The high quality TFT (Thin Film
Transistor) LCD displays 99.999%
of its picture elements.
The remaining 0.001% may drop
out or light, however this is an
inherent property of the LCD; it is
not a sign of malfunction.
