adjustment are necessary when using the [SEA]/[
] control.
Small objects may not be displayed on the screen

ATA (Automatic Tracking Aid)

By automatically tracking the target chosen with the cursor key, the closest point of approach (CPA) and the time
to closest point of approach (TCPA) limit of your ship and a target are calculated.
ATA function is designed to sound an alarm when the CPA and TCPA fall below a set value (the approach watch
area).
Only targets in the 0.25 to 16 NM range that are displayed with a high luminosity (strong return signal) can be
selected as ATA targets.
A maximum of 10 targets can be plotted on the screen.
Plot positions are identified by an approved symbol mark (p. 33) and associated plot number.

 AIS OPERATION 7
AIS (Automatic Identification System)
AIS is an acronym for Automatic Identification System.
An AIS transponder is a short range data radio unit, used primarily for collision-risk management and navigation
safety. It automatically transmits and receives vessel information such as the vessel name, MMSI code, vessel
type, position data, speed, course, destination and more. Information is exchanged among the vessels and/or
base stations on the VHF maritime mobile band. The information helps to identify other nearby vessels or stations
by displaying the received data on the radar screen.

 8 BASIC RADAR THEORY

Radar uses a form of electromagnetic radiation that can be reflected off a large vessel, bridge, or other metal ob-
jects that are in proximity. Because of this property, unwanted reflections off some objects may cause false echoes
to appear on the screen where in fact no actual targets exist. Operators should be familiar with the effect of this
phenomena. In some cases, echoes can be reduced.

Sidelobe echoes
Radiation can escape on each side of the beam inside Sidelobe echoes usually occur at short ranges and

Target resolution is determined by the horizontal beam

The display unit is designed for connection to any
power source if the voltage is 10.242 V DC, so that

Ground connection
To prevent electrical shocks and other problems, ground the display unit through the [GND] terminal. For best re-
sults, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap to the nearest grounding point on the boat. The distance between the
