PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATION
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATION
Cautions for High Voltage

High voltages, ranging from several hundreds to tens of thousands of volts, are used in electronic
apparatus, such as radio and radar instruments. These voltages are totally harmless in most
operations. However, touching a component inside the unit is very dangerous. (Any person other
than authorized service engineers should not maintain, inspect, or adjust the unit.)
High voltages on the order of tens of thousand volts are most likely to cause instant deaths from
electrical shocks. At times, even voltages on the order of several hundred volts could lead to
electrocution. To defend against electrical shock hazards, don't put your hand into the inside of
apparatus. When you put in a hand unavoidably in case of urgent, it is strongly suggested to turn
off the power switch and allow the capacitors, etc. to discharge with a wire having its one end
positively grounded to remove residual charges. Before you put your hand into the inside of
apparatus, make sure that internal parts are no longer charged. Extra protection is ensured by
wearing dry cotton gloves at this time. Another important precaution to observe is to keep one
hand in your pocket at a time, instead of using both hands at the same time.
It is also important to select a secure footing to work on, as the secondary effects of electrical
shock hazards can be more serious. In the event of electrical shocks, disinfect the burnt site
completely and obtain medical care immediately.
Precautions for Rescue of Victim

of Electric Shock
When a victim of electric shock is found, turn off the power source and ground the circuit
immediately. If this is impossible, move the victim away from the unit as quick as possible without
touching him or her with bare hands. He or she can safely be moved if an insulating material
such as dry wood plate or cloth is used.
Breathing may stop if current flows through the respiration center of brain due to electric shock.
If the electric shock is not large, breathing can be restored by artificial respiration. A victim of
electric shock looks pale and his or her pulse may become very weak or stop, resulting in
unconsciousness and rigidity at worst. It is necessary to perform first aid immediately.

FIRST-AID TREATMENTS
Method of First-Aid Treatment
Precautions for First-Aid Treatments

Apply artificial respiration to the person who collapsed, minimizing moving as much as
possible avoiding risks. Once started, artificial respiration should be continued rhythmically.
(1) Refrain from touching the patient carelessly as a result of the accident; the first-aider
could suffer from electrical shocks by himself or herself.
(2) Turn off the power calmly and certainly, and move the patient apart from the cable
gently.
(3) Call or send for a physician or ambulance immediately, or ask someone to call doctor.
(4) Lay the patient on the back, loosening the necktie, clothes, belts and so on.
(5) (a) Feel the patient's pulse.

(b) Check the heartbeat by bringing your ear close to the patient's heart.
(c) Check for respiration by bringing your face or the back of your hand to the patient's
face.
(d) Check the size of patient's pupils.
(6) Opening the patient's mouth, remove artificial teeth, cigarettes, chewing gum, etc. if any.
With the patient's mouth open, stretch the tongue and insert a towel or the like into the
mouth to prevent the tongue from being withdrawn into the throat. (If the patient clenches
the teeth so tight that the mouth won't open, use a screwdriver or the like to force the
mouth open and then insert a towel or the like into the mouth.)
(7) Wipe off the mouth to prevent foaming mucus and saliva from accumulating.

Treatment to Give When the Patient Has a

Pulse Beating but Has Ceased to Breathe
∗ Performing mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration - Fig. 1
(1) Bend the patient's face backward until it is directed to look back. (A pillow may be
placed under the neck.)
(2) Pull up the lower jaw to open up the airway. (To spread the airway)
(3) Pinching the patient's nose, breathe deeply and blow your breath into the patient's
mouth strongly, with care to close it completely. Then, move your mouth away and
take a deep breath, and blow into his or her mouth. Give rescue breathing twice in
about 1 second and check if the chest rises. (always with the patient's nostrils
closed).
(4) Immediately, perform chest compressions.(perform uninterrupted chest
compressions of 30 at the rate of about 100 times per minute. With each
compression, depress the chest wall to a depth of approximately 4 to 5 cm.)
Rapidly, give 2 rescue breaths. Continuously perform the combination of 30 chest
compressions and 2 rescue breaths without interruption. (Perform the cardiac
massage and mouth-to-mouth respiration)
(5) Continue the cardiac massage and mouth-to-mouth respiration until natural
respiration is restored.
(6) If the patient's mouth won't open easily, insert a pipe, such as one made of rubber
or vinyl, into either nostril. Then, take a deep breath and blow into the nostril
through the pipe, with the other nostril and the mouth completely closed.
(7) The patient may stand up abruptly upon recovering consciousness. Keep the
patient lying calmly, giving him or her coffee, tea or any other hot drink (but not
alcoholic drink) to keep him or her warm.
Mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration with the patient's head lifted
[1] (1) Lift the back part of the patient's
head. Support the forehead with one
of your hand and the neck with the
other hand.→[1].
Many patients will have their
airways opened by lifting their head
in this way to ease mouth-to-mouth
artificial respiration.
[2]
(2) Closing the patient's mouth with your
mouth, press your cheek against the
patient's nose→ [2].
Alternatively, hold the patient's nose
with your finger to prevent air leak
→ [3].
[3] (3) Blowing air into the patient's lungs.
Blow air into the patient's lungs until
chest is seen to rise. (always with
the patient's nostrils closed) Give
rescue breathing twice in about 1
second and check if the chest rises.

iii
Treatment to Give When the Patient Has No

Pulse Beating and Has Ceased to Breathe
∗ Performing cardiac massage - Fig. 2
If the patient has no pulse beating, with the pupils open and no heartbeat being heard, the
patient has a cardiac arrest and requires immediate artificial respiration. Continue this until
a medical specialist arrives, and follow his or her directions after that.
(1) Putting one hand on about the lower one third of the patient's ribs and the other hand
over the back of the first, with your elbow fully stretched (with bended elbow, you can’t
press to the extent the patient’s ribs are depressed), apply your body weight to the
hands to press the patient's body until it is depress the chest wall to a depth of
approximately 4 to 5 cm. (Chest compressions of 30 at the rate of about 100 times
per minute.). (Cardiac massage)
(2) If only one first-aider is available, perform a cardiac massage about 30 times and then
give mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration 2 times. Repeat this sequence.
If two first-aiders are available, while one person performs a cardiac massage 30
times, the other should give mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration 2 times. Repeat this
sequence. (Combined cardiac massage and mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration
method)
(3) Check the patient's pupils and feel the pulse from time to time. When the pupils are
restored to normal and the pulse begins to beat regularly, stop treating and keep the
patient calm while giving him or her coffee, tea or any other hot drink to keep him or
her warm while watching him or her carefully.

PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS
DANGER
Never carry out internal inspection or repair work of the equipment by
users.
Inspection or repair work by unauthorized personnel may result in fire
hazard or electric shock.
For inspection and repair work of equipment components, consult with
our branch office, branch shop, sales office, or our distributor in your
district.
When conducting maintenance, make sure to turn the main power off.
Failure to comply may result in electrocution.
Turn off the main power before cleaning the equipment. Especially
when a rectifier is used, make sure to turn it off since voltage is still
output from the rectifier even after the radar is turned off.
Failure to comply may result in equipment failure, electric shock or
serious injury.
Turn off the main power before maintaining the scanner unit.
Failure to comply may result in electric shock or serious injury.
When conducting maintenance work on the antenna, make sure to

turn its main power off.
Failure to comply may result in electrocution or injuries.
xv
PRECAUTIONS
Never directly touch the internal components of the antenna,

receiver/transceiver, or indicator.
Direct contact with these high voltage components may cause
electrocution. For maintenance, inspection, or adjustment of equipment
components, consult with our branch office, branch shop, sales office, or
our distributor in your district.
Do not get close to the radiant section of the radar antenna. It is a rotating
part, and it may cause injuries if it suddenly starts rotating and
consequently
hits the body. The radiant section be installed at a high place such as on
the
roof of the wheelhouse, on the flying bridge, on the trestle, or on the radar
mast so that no one can get close to it.
Microwave radiation level:
Keep away from a scanner when it is transmitting.
The high level of microwave is radiated from the front face of the

Make sure to install the antenna at a place higher than human height.
Direct exposure to electromagnetic waves at close range will have
adverse effects on the human body.
Direct exposure to electromagnetic waves at close range will have

adverse effects on the human body. When it is necessary to get close to
the antenna for maintenance or inspection purposes, make sure to turn
the indicator power switch to "OFF" or "STBY."
When conducting maintenance work, make sure to turn off the power and
unplug the power connector J1 of the display unit so that the power
supply to the equipment is completely cut off.
Some equipment components can carry electrical current even after the
power switch is turned off, and conducting maintenance work without
unplugging the power connector may result in electrocution, equipment
failure, or accidents.
Take care, even if you did power off, the antenna may rotate by wind.
xvi
PRECAUTIONS
Do not take apart, and do not remodel the display unit. This could cause
water to seep inside the display unit.
A malfunction may occur if the power in the ship is instantaneously

interrupted during operation of the radar. In this case, the power should
be turned on again.
Always use the automatic tuning mode.

Use the manual tuning mode only when the automatic tuning mode does
not provide the best tuning state due to deterioration of magnetron for
example.
If sensitivity is set too high, unnecessary signals such as noises in the
receiver and false echoes increase to lower target visibility.
At the same time, if sensitivity is set too low, detection of targets such as
ships and dangerous objects may be hindered.
Therefore, sensitivity must always be set to an optimal level.
When using the sea clutter suppression function, never set the
suppression level too high canceling out all image noises from the sea
surface at close range. Detection of not only echoes from waves but also
targets such as other ships or dangerous objects will become inhibited.
When using the sea clutter suppression function, make sure to choose
the most appropriate image noise suppression level.
When using the rain/snow reflection suppression function, never set the
suppression level too high canceling out all image noises from the rain
or snow. Detection of not only echoes from the rain or snow but also
When using the rain/snow reflection suppression function, make sure to
choose the most appropriate image noise suppression level.
Use the radar only as a navigation aid. The final navigation decision must
always be made by the operator him/herself.
Making the final navigation decision based only on the radar display may
cause accidents such as collisions or running aground.
Use the target tracking function (TT) only as a navigation aid.
The final navigation decision must always be made by the operator
him/herself.
Making the final navigation decision based only on the target tracking
function (TT) information may cause accidents.
The target tracking function (TT) information such as vector, target
numerical data, and alarms may contain some errors. Also, targets that
are not detected by the radar cannot be acquired or tracked.
Making the final navigation decision based only on the radar display may
cause accidents such as collisions or running aground.
When a large value is set as an association condition, a tracked target
near an AIS target is identified as the AIS target and may thus disappear
from the display.
For example, when a pilot vessel equipped with the AIS function (a small
target which is not a tracked target) goes near a cargo vessel which is a
tracked target without the AIS function, the tracked target symbol for the
cargo vessel may disappear.
xvii
PRECAUTIONS
Since these alarms may include some errors depending on the target
tracking conditions, the navigation officer himself should make the final
decision for ship operations such as collision avoidance.
Making the final navigation decision based only on the alarm may cause
accidents such as collisions.
When setting an automatic acquisition zone, make sure to properly adjust
gain, sea-surface reflection suppression level, and rain/snow reflection
suppression level so that the optimal target images are always on the
radar screen. The automatic acquisition zone alarm will not be activated
for targets undetected by the radar, and it may result in accidents such
as collisions.
Any adjustments must be made by specialized service personnel.
Incorrect settings may result in unstable operation.
Do not make any adjustments during navigation. Failure to comply may

result in adverse effects on the radar function which may lead to
accidents or equipment failure.
Any adjustments must be made by specialized service personnel.

Failure to comply may result in accidents or equipment failure.
Make sure to shut off the main power before replacing parts.
Failure to comply may result in electrocution or equipment failure.
When replacing magnetrons, make sure to shut off the main power and
let the equipment stand for more than 5 minutes to discharge the high-
voltage circuit.
Make sure to take off your watch when your hand must get close to
the magnetron.
Failure to comply may result in damage to the watch since the
magnetron is a strong magnet.
When cleaning the display screen, do not wipe it too strongly with a dry
cloth. Also, do not use gasoline or thinner to clean the screen.
Failure to comply will result in damage to the screen surface.
Do not take apart, and do not remodel the display unit. It may cause a fire,
the electric shock, and the breakdown.
Before using a USB memory to read or write files, make sure that there
are no computer viruses in the USB memory. If the display unit is infected
with a virus, it may affect other equipment and cause a failure.

make sure that the USB memory is not being accessed before removing
it.
If you insert or remove the USB memory during access, the data may be
damaged and a failure may occur.
The USB ports prepared on the front panel side and the back panel side
are limited to a maximum of 500 [mA] based on the USB 2.0 standard.
If a device with a current consumption exceeding 500 [mA] is connected
to this port for the purpose of charging electronic devices, etc., the
current limit circuit may operate and the USB port may be temporarily
unavailable.
Do not insert chart cards and data SD cards other than properly arranged
new pec/Navionics+ into the CHART card slot.
If the display unit infects with a computer virus via SD card, it may affect
other equipment and cause a malfunction.
The waterproof performance of the display unit is IPX5. For the operating
conditions to guarantee this performance, refer to the integrated display
unit waterproofing specification in Chapter 12 of this manual.
If the operating conditions are not observed, the waterproof performance
is not guaranteed and may cause fire, electric shock, or failure.

1.3 INSTALLATION OF THE SCANNER UNIT
1.3.1 SELECTING THE INSTALLATION POSITION
 PHYSICAL SELECTION CRITERIA

 Install the scanner at the center of the mast on the keel line.
 If the scanner cannot be installed at the above position for some reason, the amount of
deviation must be minimized. And, reinforce the mount base and the platform and take
precautions to protect the scanner from vibration and impact at the installation position.
 To avoid the radiating section coming in contact with other installed objects while it is rotating,
ensure that there is at least 200 millimeters from the swing circle (turning radius) to other
installed objects (Fig. 1-3-1-1). The swing circle of the JMA-3400 radar's scanner is as shown in
Table 1-3-1-2.
 Please note that not affected by the smoke from the chimney.
 Avoid having a rope or signal flag from winding around the radiating section thereby preventing
it from rotating.
 Please secure maintenance spaces (a platform, a safety link, a handrail, a step, etc.).
Set up a scaffolding for maintenance if the minimum height
shown above is 1 m or more.
Fig. 1-3-1-1
Table1-3-1-2
Scanner model (length) Swing circle
NKE-2043 620 mm (radome)
NKE-2063A/AHS (3.9 feet) 1,220 mm
NKE-2103-4/4HS (4 feet) 1,320 mm
NKE-2103-6/6HS (6 feet) 1,910 mm
12
 ELECTRICAL SELECTION CRITERIA

 The installation height of the scanner relates to the maximum detection distance.
The higher, the better. However, if it is too high, radio wave energy greatly attenuates
above the scanner's vertical beam width (the point -3 dB from the peak of the main-lobe).
As a result, it is difficult to detect a close-in target. Sea clutter also increases.
Determine the installation height by taking into consideration the weight, maximum
length of the cable, and maintenance after installation. If the installation height of the
scanner is low, it is difficult to detect a long distance target. The ship's mast, derrick,
and chimney interfere with radiating beam causing the range that cannot be viewed
on the radar display to increase.
1.3.2 LOWEST SCANNER INSTALLATION HEIGHT

Generally, the lowest scanner installation position is supposed to be on the A-B line shown in Fig. 1-3-2.
In the case of the JMA-3400 series radar, 2θ equals 20°.
Specifically, the scanner position is normally elevated so that the chimney and the shrine-gate type mast do
not interfere with radiating beam.
JMA-3400 : θ= 10 ° (2θ= 20 °)
Fig. 1-3-2
13
1.3.3 MOUNTING RACK AND MAST FOR THE SCANNER

If it is considered that sufficient installation height cannot be provided when the scanner is installed directly on
the roof of the wheelhouse, use a mounting rack or radar mast (Fig. 1-3-3).
Normally, when the scanner installation height is less than 2 meters from the roof of the wheelhouse, provide
a mounting rack assembled at an angle frame to install the scanner. When the scanner installation height is 2
m or higher from the roof of the wheelhouse, provide a cylindrical radar mast to install the scanner.
Consider the convenience of the service staff who take care of installation, maintenance, adjustment and
repair of the scanner by providing adequate footholds to the mounting rack and the radar mast.
Installation Installation
Fig. 1-3-3
1.3.4 SCANNER AND THE SURROUNDING STRUCTURAL OBJECTS

When installing the scanner, select a location where there are the fewest structural objects in the surrounding
area so that false images which interfere with target detection will not be generated by signal reflection from
other scanners, deck structures, and cargo.
Only as a guide, note that structural objects should not exist within the range of the vertical beam width
(Fig. 1-3-4).
NKE-2043 Vertical beam width: Approx.25° (+/-12.5° when the height of the radiating section is 0°)
NKE-2063A/AHS Vertical beam width: Approx.30° (+/-15.0° when the height of the radiating section is 0°)
NKE-2103-4/4HS Vertical beam width: Approx.20° (+/-10.0° when the height of the radiating section is 0°)
NKE-2103-6/6HS Vertical beam width: Approx.20° (+/-10.0° when the height of the radiating section is 0°)
Fig. 1-3-4
Fig. 1-3-4
When installing two scanners, provide a height difference so that those two scanners do not enter each
14
other's vertical beam width range.

To avoid interference with other equipment and to prevent radio noise from generating, do not place the VHF
antenna, GPS antenna, and INMARSAT's dome within the range of the vertical beam width. Keep a record of
installation height data. The data is necessary for the initial setting of the display unit.
Magnetron which has strong magnetic force is included in the scanner. Install the scanner at least 3 meters
away from nautical instruments including magnetic compasses and chronometers.
1.3.5 ENSURING VIEW ANGLE

Minimize the blind sector, and ensure the adequate view angle so that the blind sector does not exist in the
range 22.5° from side to rear (Fig. 1-3-5).
Specifically, ensure a sufficient view field in the straight front (relative bearing 0°).
direction
Make no blind sector
Fig. 1-3-5
Reference:
 If there is a concern that structural objects existing within the vertical beam width may
generate false images, equip the structural objects with a radio wave absorber.
(There are two types of absorbers: broadband type having no specific resonant frequency
and narrowband type which can absorb a band with a specific frequency. Use those where
applicable.)
Furthermore, it is effective to install a metal reflector, which reflects radio waves upwardly,
between the scanner and a structural object so that the radar's radio wave will not directly
come in contact with the structural object.
 Because most radio wave absorbers have poor durability, some must be replaced
every year.
When installing a reflector, the area to the rear of the reflector becomes a blind sector.
Therefore, minimize the size of the reflector.
 The above procedures for selecting a scanner installation position are described based
on the radar's scanner. Comprehensively select the scanner position by considering other
scanners' installation procedure manual, hull's structure, strength of the selected position,
and vibration.
■ Confirmation during test run

If the scanner vibrates a lot during test run, try to reduce or prevent vibration by reinforcing the scanner
mount base or using wire stays attached to the radar mast.
15
 Others
The design of the mounting platform for the scanner should take into account the vibration requirements
defined by IEC 60945.
 Vibration
2 to 13.2 Hz
Frequency
13.2 Hz to 100 Hz
Amplitude +/-1 mm +/-10 %
Acceleration 7m/s2 constant
 All installations should facilitate protection of equipment, including cabling, from

damage.
 The cables should be kept as short as possible to minimize attenuation of the signal.
 Crossing of cables should be done at right angles(90°) to minimize magnetic field
coupling.
 Install the radar cable as far as from the cables of other radio equipment in order to
prevent other radio equipment from interfering with the radar operations. Especially
inter-wiring cables between scanner unit and display unit of the radar should not be
run parallel with the cables of other radio equipment.
 Cable should not be exposed sharp bends.
 Ensure that the equipment is grounded.
 Maintain a flat level surface on which to install the scanner

 Use sufficiently thick steel material and reinforcement material for the scanner's installation
surface (mount base) to reduce vibration and impact. Keep the mount base flat and smooth.
 If there is a partial gap between the mount base and the scanner chassis's legs, work on the
installation surface so that it becomes flat and smooth, or make adjustments by inserting metal
shims.
If a gap exists and the scanner is tightly clamped, the chassis will distort and become damaged
by vibration.
 Avoid using vibration-proof rubber and resin

 Do not insert an elastic body, such as vibration-proof rubber or resin, between the
mount base and the scanner chassis legs. If rubber or resin is inserted, the amplitude
of vibration increases, resulting in the possibility of damage to the scanner.
Furthermore, if installation bolts become loose due to deterioration of rubber or resin,
the scanner may be damaged or fall from its mount.

 Precautions for transporting and storing the scanner

 A scanner is a heavy load. Be very careful about handling it.
 Do not allow the scanner fall on its side while it is stored or being installed.
 Do not apply rope to the scanner in the way that squeezes or deforms the radiating section.
 When hoisting the scanner by a crane, do not hoist it by attaching a belt or a rope only to the
scanner's radiating section as shown in Fig1-3-6-9.
 When lifting the scanner (Fig 1-3-6-10) :
Wrap a cloth around the scanner's support section located at the bottom of the radiator, and
then attach a belt to it to lift the scanner.
OK！
Wrap a cloth
Fig 1-3-6-9 Fig 1-3-6-10
 Installation and clamping method

■ Installation direction
Installation should be done so that the cable gland is oriented toward the stern.
■ Bolts, nuts and tightening torque to be used
 Use stainless steel bolts for the scanner and uniformly tighten all of the bolts using double
nuts for each bolt so that the scanner will not become loose (Table 1-3-6-1).
 Although the length of the bolt will differ according to the thickness of the mount base, use a
bolt long enough so that more than 4 millimeters of thread protrudes beyond the double nuts
after the double nuts have been tightened.

 Use of washer and corrosion-resistant measures

■ At the location where a bolt's head comes in contact with the scanner chassis' legs and the mount
base, insert a plain washer and spring washer which fit the bolt; and then securely tighten the bolts.
(Fig. 1-3-6-12)
■ To prevent corrosion due to the contacts between different metals, such as the scanner chassis' legs,
installation surface, bolts etc., cover the bolt's head with sealant . (Fig. 1-3-6-11)
Fig 1-3-6-11
 Grounding and corrosion-resistant measures

■ Do not install the scanner in place where puddles are often formed.
■Ground the antenna housing and the equipment surface (hull) with a ground wire. At this time, apply a
sealant to the fastening part of the ground wire to prevent corrosion and damage due to vibration.(Fig.

2.3 POWER ON/OFF
A malfunction may occur if the power in the ship is instantaneously

interrupted during operation of the radar. In the case, the power should be
turned on again.
When the display unit is turned off by the power drop, power supply to the
scanner unit also stops.
Make sure that the supply voltage to the display unit is stable, the power
should be turned on again.
Note:
 Wait for about 2 seconds before turn on the power again.
 Immediately after the radar is installed, at start of the system after it has not been used for a long
time, or after the magnetron is replaced, preheat the equipment in the standby state for 20 to 30
minutes before setting it into the transmit state.
 If the preheating time is short, the magnetron causes sparks, resulting in its unstable oscillation.
Start transmission on a short-pulse range and change the range to the longer pulse ranges in turn.
If the transmission is unstable in the meantime, immediately place the system back into the
standby state and maintain it in the standby state for 5 to 10 minutes before restarting the
operation.Repeat these steps until the operation is stabilized.

3.2 SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT (GAIN)

It is necessary to set an appropriate gain level in order to use the radar exactly.
Failure to do so, it is possible to obtain an accurate radar echo.
The sensitivity value is displayed at the lower

part of the screen when the GAIN control is
turned left or right.
Turning the control right increases the value,
and turning it left decreases the value.
About the GAIN control: please refer to the number 11 in Chapter 2.2.
Examples of the radar echo sensitivity as follows.
Radar echo sensitivity Radar echo sensitivity Radar echo sensitivity

Low Middle High
It is important to be note that if you adjust the gain level to maximum, the noise might be also displayed on the
screen at the same time.
GAIN set Exceed
In the case of a fine weather, gain level is set close to the maximum
values usually. In the case of a bad weather, such as heavy rain or snow
or rough seas, it is necessary to adjust not only the gain level, but also
the sea clutter suppression function and rain/snow clutter suppression
function. You need to choose an appropriate level, respectively.

receiver and false echoes increase to lower target visibility. At the same
time, if sensitivity is set too low, detection of targets such as ships and
dangerous objects may be hindered. Therefore, sensitivity must always be
set to an optimal level.
50
3.3 SEA CLUTTER SUPPRESSION (SEA)
It is necessary to adjust the sea clutter suppression level in order to use

the radar exactly. Failure to do so, it is possible to obtain an accurate
radar echo.
The sea clutter suppression level is

displayed at the lower part of the screen
when the SEA control is turned left or
right.
Turning the control right increases the
value, and turning it left decreases the
value.
About the SEA control: please refer to the number 12 in Chapter 2.2.
Sea clutter suppression level Sea clutter suppression level

LOW Suitable level
When using the sea clutter suppression function, never set the suppression
level too high canceling out all image noises from the sea surface at close range.
Detection of not only echoes from waves but also targets such as other ships or
dangerous objects will become inhibited. When using the sea clutter
suppression function, make sure to choose the most appropriate image noise
suppression level.
51
3.4 RAIN/SNOW CLUTTER SUPPRESSION (RAIN)

It is necessary to adjust the rain/snow clutter suppression level in order to use
the radar exactly. Failure to do so, it is impossible to obtain an accurate radar
echo.
The rain/snow clutter suppression level is

displayed at the lower part of the screen when the
RAIN control is turned left or right.
Turning the control right increases the value, and
turning it left decreases the value.
About the RAIN control: please refer to the number 13 in Chapter 2.2.
Rain/Snow clutter suppression level suitable Rain/Snow clutter suppression level excessive
(fine weather) (some targets become small)
The [RAIN] control can make targets hidden by rain/snow clutter appear on the radar display.
Be careful that excessive suppression may cause small targets to be overlooked.
When using the rain/snow clutter suppression function, never set the
suppression level too high canceling out all image noises from the rain or
snow at close range. Detection of not only echoes from the rain or snow
but also targets such as other ships or dangerous objects will become
inhibited. When using the rain/snow clutter suppression function, make
sure to choose the most appropriate image noise suppression level.
52
3.5 SCREEN BRILLIANCE (BRILL)
The brilliance level is displayed at the lower part of the screen when the BRILL
control is turned left or right.
Turning the control right increases the value, and turning it left decreases the
value.
About the BRILL control: please refer to the number 15 in Chapter 2.2.
＊＊＊＊FOR REFERENCE＊＊＊＊
In order to obtain an accurate radar echo, sea clutter suppression adjustment and gain adjustment are
essential.
RAIN: Normally is set to “0.” But in the case of rain or snow, you need use the rain clutter suppression
function to remove the noise appearing on the screen.
GAIN: Adjust the GAIN to increase receiving sensitivity, then the radar observation range can be
extended. If the sensitivity is set too high, the receiver noise is increase, and the contrast between the
targets and the background video is reduced. As a result, the targets become obscure on the radar
display. To observe densely crowded targets or short-range targets, adjust the GAIN to reduce the
sensitivity so that the targets are easy to observe. However, be careful not to overlook important small
targets.
SEA: SEA clutter suppression function can suppress the near range clutter noise. If the suitable
adjustment is done, you can observe a clear target from short range to long range.
When the automatic mode is selected for the rain/snow clutter suppression function, the sea clutter
suppression function is switched to the manual mode. The sea clutter suppression function (AUTO) and
the rain/snow suppression function (AUTO) cannot be selected at the same time. In addition, Please
adjust the video in function (MANUAL) usually. Please attempt the function (AUTO) when the video
adjustment of short-range cannot adjust by the bad weather.
< ACTUAL OPERATION >

Set RAIN clutter suppression level to 0.
(1) Set RANGE to more than 6NM, and determine the target in the distance. The target location is far,
and the targets as far possible can barely display is preferable. Set GAIN in order to observe the target
clearly.
(2) Change RANGE to 0.5NM, and set SEA clutter suppression level to observe the near target clearly.
If you reduce the GAIN at this time, the target that was able to display at (1) will be not able to display,
please note on the relation between the long range.
(3) Since the rain/snow clutter suppression function also has the effect of suppressing sea clutter, the
suppression efficiency improves when using with the [SEA] control. In general, RAIN clutter
suppression level is set to “0.” But if you encounter a bad weather, set RAIN clutter suppression level
to achieve better observation state.

＊＊＊＊FOR REFERENCE＊＊＊＊
ABOUT EBL/VRM FUNCTION
The target direction and range information can be measured by EBL and VRM function.
Bearing measurement method:

(1) The RELATIVE BEARING which is measured from own ship heading line.
(2) The TRUE BEARING which is measured from the north line.
Certainly, TRUE BEARING is calculated by RELATIVE BEARING and GYRO BEARING.

So, to calculate the TRUE BEARING is necessary a signal from GYRO or GPS compasses.
In case of no external bearing signal, display only RELATIVE BEARING mode.
Target tracking function (TT) and display AIS symbol is necessary the GYRO or GPS compass signal.
When GYRO or GPS compass signal is received, normally azimuth is measured from the north (TRUE AZIMUTH).
This radar scanner has a microwave BEAM WIDTH is about 4 degrees (NKE-2043), 2 degrees (NKE-2063A), 1.9
degrees (NKE-2103-4) or 1.2 degrees (NKE-2103-6).
So every target echo has more than 4 degrees, 2 degrees, 1.9 degrees or 1.2 degrees width for bearing direction.
For above reason, in case of read out the target azimuth, you need set EBL line to the center of the target echo.
RANGE of target echo in any azimuth can be measured by the VRM function from own ship.
Target echo size is proportion to pulse width which transmitted from own ship.
In case of MEASURE SHORT RANGE ECHO using VRM, you need set ring to the echo’s nearest point from own ship.
At that point, you can get the correct RANGE for any pulse width.
Floating:
The base point of EBL/VRM can be set other than own ship position. Refer to "5.18.1 EBL."

5.7 TT OPERATIONS
To use the target tracking function, direction signal and GPS signal information are required. The target
tracking function calculates the course and speed of a target by automatically tracking the target's move. If
there is a possibility of a collision, an alarm can be sounded.
Furthermore, the target tracking function of this unit does not conform to IEC 62388 / 62288 in operation and
symbol display. Thus, It is a simplified target tracking function.
Note:
There are the following limitations on use of the target acquisition and target tracking functions.
[I] Resolution between adjacent targets and swapping during automatic target tracking
Depending on the particular distance and echo size, resolution between adjacent targets during
automatic target tracking usually ranges somewhere between 0.03 to 0.05 NM. If multiple targets
approach each other, resolution will become about 0.05 NM and this may cause the system to regard
them as one target and thus to swap them or lose part of them. Such swapping or less of targets may
also occur if the picture of the target being tracked is affected by rain/snow clutter or sea clutter or
moves very close to land.
[II] Intensity of echoes and the target tracking function
The intensity of echoes and the tracking function have a correlation ship, and thus the target will be
lost if no echoes are detected during 10 scans in succession.
If a lost target exists, therefore, radar gain must be increased to support detection of the target. If,
however, radar gain is increased too significantly, sea clutter or other noise may be erroneously
detected and tracked as a target, and resultingly, a false alarm may be issued. To execute accurate
tracking, it becomes necessary to appropriately adjust the [GAIN], [SEA] and [RAIN] controls of the
radar so that the target to be acquired and tracked id clearly displayed on the radar display.
Inappropriate settings of these adjustments reduce the reliability / accuracy of automatic tracking.
CAUTION
Use the radar only as a navigation aid. The final navigation decision must always be made
by the operator him/herself. Making the final navigation decision based only on the radar
display may cause accidents such as collisions or running aground.
Use the target tracking function (TT) only as a navigation aid. The final navigation decision
must always be made by the operator him/herself. Making the final navigation decision
based only on the target tracking function (TT) information may cause accidents.
The target tracking function (TT) information such as vector, target numerical data, and
alarms may contain some errors. Also, targets that are not detected by the radar cannot be
acquired or tracked.
Making the final navigation decision based only on the radar display may cause accidents
such as collisions or running aground.

depending on its speed and course and the influence of the current. Land and other fixed
targets are fixed on the radar screen and only actually moving targets move on the radar
screen.
Bearing mode: Select the azimuth of the radar video.

The bearing signal input is required to display N-UP/C-UP.
95
Head Up (H-UP) mode is displayed so that the ship’s heading line points to the zenith of the PPI. Since
targets are displayed in their direction relative to the ship’s heading line, the operator can view the video in the
same field of view as in operating the ship at sea. This mode is suitable for watching over other ships.
North Up (N-UP) mode is displayed so that the zenith of the PPI points to the due north. Fixed targets do no
flicker and are easily identified on the chart, and the true bearing of a target can easily be read out.
Course Up (C-UP) mode is fixed pointing to the zenith of the PPI points to the due north. In the same way as
in the N-UP mode, fixed targets do not flicker, and are stabilized even if the ship is yawing. The bearing of the
heading line varies by the same shift of own ship’s course. If the course is changed while “Course Up” is
selected, the latest course will be displayed top of the radar screen by selecting “Course Up Reset.”

5.24.1 COLLISION AVOIDANCE

 Problems of Collision Avoidance in Navigation
Marine collision avoidance is one of the problems that have been recognized from of old. Now, it will be
described briefly who the collision avoidance is positioned among the navigational aid problems.
The navigation pattern of all mobile craft constitutes a system with some closed loops regardless of the
media through which the mobile craft travels, whether air, water, the boundary between air and water, or
space. This pattern consists of two closed loops in principle, one of which is a collision with another
mobile craft and the other is a loop of finding a right and safe way to reach a predeterminate destination.
Fig. 5-24-1 shows the conceptual diagram of navigation pattern by MR. E.W. Anderson. The closed loop
of collision avoidance is shown on the left side and the closed loop of finding a right course on the right
side.
Collision avoidance Decision of course
Fig. 5-24-1 Navigation pattern
104
 Marine Accidents and Collisions

Among marine accidents, collision accidents have been highlighted as the tonnages and speeds of ships
become higher along with the increase in traffic at sea.
If a tanker carrying dangerous articles such as crude oil collides with any other vessel, then not only the
vessels involved with the accident but other vessels in the vicinity, port facilities, inhabitants in the coastal
area as well as marine resources may also suffer immeasurable damages and troubles.
Collision accidents have a high percentage of the marine accidents that have occurred in recent years. To
cope with these problems, any effective measures are needed and some equipment to achieve collision
avoidance requirements have been developed at rapid strides.
 Basic Concept of Collision Avoidance

There are two aspects in collision avoidance: collision prediction and avoidance. Collision prediction is to
predict that two or more vessels will happen to occupy the same point at the same time, while collision
avoidance is to maneuver vessels not to occupy the same point at the same time.
In practical operation of vessels, a spot of collision has to be deemed to be a single point but a closed
zone. This closed zone is conceptually defined as a CPA (Closest Point of Approach). In collision
prediction, the time to be taken until a ship reaches the CPA is defined as a TCPA (Time to CPA).
Fig. 5-24-2 shows a diagram called "Collision Triangle".
Fig. 5-24-2 Collision Triangle
105
 Relative Vector and True Vector

From two points of view, collision prediction and avoidance, it is necessary to obtain the relative vector of
other ship for prediction and the true vector of other ship for collision avoidance in order to grasp other
ship's aspect.
The relationship between the relative vector and true vector is shown in Fig. 5-24-3. Furthermore, the
meanings of both vectors are described.
Both rough CPA and TCPA can be obtained easily from the relative speed vector of other ship. This
method has an advantage that the risks of collision with all other ships within the radar range can be seen
at a glance. On the other hand, the course and speed of other ship can easily be obtained from its true
speed vector, enabling other ship's aspect to be seen at a glance. Thus, the aspects of other ships
(transverse, out sail, parallel run, reverse run, etc. ) as described in the act of prevention of collision at
sea can be readily grasped. If there is a risk of collision with other ship, the operator can determine which
rule to be applied and how to operate own ship.
Fig. 5-24-3 Relative Vector and True Vector
 Radar and Collision Avoidance

Radar is still playing an important roll for collision prevention and positioning.
A plotter is used to further enhance the radar functionality. The plotter is capable of plotting other
positions of other ships in 3 to 6 minute intervals to monitor their movement. The plots of other ships
represent their tracks relative to own ship, and it is shown whether there is a risk of collision, namely CPA
and TCPA can be obtained. This method using a plotter is fairly effective, but the number of target ship,
which are manually plotted, is limited and it takes several minutes to measure those.

However, if the set value of the smoothing is too high, it is possible to obtain a smooth result, but a large time
lag is generated at the same time.
Conversely, if the set value of the smoothing is too low, many changes will be generated, but the time lag will
be reduced considerably. Thus, it is important to choose an optimal value for own usage function.
7.8.2.9 SMOOTHING2
This setting is corresponding to relatively old JRC GPS model.

Note: The smoothing setting range is as below.
0/10/40 sec
Smoothing function can be applied to measured positions, speeds and courses. However, if the set value of
the smoothing is too high, it is possible to obtain a smooth result, but a large time lag is generated at the
same time.
Conversely, if the set value of the smoothing is too low, many changes will be generated, but the time lag will
be reduced considerably. Thus, it is important to choose an optimal value for own usage situation.
7.8.2.10 RAIM ACCURACY LEVEL
Set the RAIM accuracy level to be used. RAIM is the function that the receiver judges whether the accuracy of

Adjust the noise level.
The noise level is adjusted at the factory. When adjusting the noise level after installation, perform only fine-
tuning within ±5.
8.1.2 MAIN BANG SUPPRESSION

Main Bang Suppression is adjusted to suppress main bang, a reflection signal from 3D circuit including
wave guide tube, that generally appears as a circular image focusing on the center of the radar display.
Optimum adjustment allows main bang image to remain lightly on the display.
If the main bang is not so big, use the default setting at factory.
Before adjustment:
1.Set the range to 0.125NM. 2.Set the radar video enhance function.
3.Set the radar video process function. 4.Turn the [GAIN] control to the maximum position.
5.Turn the [RAIN] control to the minimum position.
6.Turn the [SEA] control to achieve the strength with which main bang can be judged.

Chapter 9 TRUE OR FALSE EHOS ON DISPLAY
Chapter 9 TRUE OR FALSE ECHOS ON

DISPLAY
The radar operator has a role of interpreting the radar displays to provide his best aid in maneuvering the ship.
For this purpose, the operator has to observe the radar displays after fully understanding the advantages and
disadvantages that the radar has.
For better interpretation of radar display, it is important to gain more experiences by operating the radar
equipment in fair weathers and comparing the target ships watched with the naked eyes and their echoes on
the radar display.
The radar is mainly used to monitor the courses of own ship and other ships in open seas, to check buoys and
other nautical marks when entering a port, to measure own ship’s position in the coastal waters relative to the
bearings and ranges of the shore or islands using a chart, and to monitor the position and movement of a
heavy rain if it appears on the radar display. Various types of radar display will be explained below.
9.1 RADAR WAVE WITH THE HORIZON

Radar beam radiation has the nature of propagating nearly along the curved surface of the earth. The
propagation varies with the property of the air layer through which the radar beam propagates. In the normal
propagation, the distance (D) of the radar wave to the horizon is approximately 10% longer than the distance
to the optical horizon. The distance (D) is given by the following formula:
D = 2.23(√h1 + √h2) (nm)
h1: Height (m) of radar scanner above sea level
h2: Height (m) of a target above sea level
Fig. 9-1-1 is a diagram for determining the maximum detection range of a target that is limited by the curve of
the earth surface in the normal propagation.
Fig. 9-1-1
194
When the height of own ship's scanner is 10 m for instance,

(a) A target that can be detected at the radar range of 64 NM on the radar display is required to have a
height of 660 m or more.
(b) If the height of a target is 10 m, the radar range has to be approx. 15 NM.
However, the maximum radar range at which a target can be detected on the radar display depends upon
the size of the target and the weather conditions, that is, the radar range may increase or decrease
depending upon those conditions.
9.2 REFLECTION FROM TARGET

The signal intensity reflected from a target depends not only on the height and size of the target but also on
its material and shape. The echo intensity from a higher and larger target is not always higher in general.
In particular, the echo from a coast line is affected by the geographic conditions of the coast. If the coast
has a very gentle slope, the echo from a mountain of the inland appears on the radar display, as shown in
Fig. 9-1-2. Therefore, the distance to the coast line should be measured carefully.
Mountain displayed on the radar display HL
Sea shore line not displayed on the radar
Fig. 9-1-2
195
9.3 SEA CLUTTER AND RAIN AND SNOW CLUTTER
In addition to the echo required for observing ships and land radar video image also includes unnecessary
echo, such as reflection from waves on the sea surface and reflection from rain and snow. Reflection from
the sea surface is called "sea clutter," and reflection from rain and snow is called "rain and snow clutter," and
those spurious waves must be eliminated by the clutter rejection function.
9.3.1 SEA CLUTTER

Sea clutter appears as an image radiating outwardly from the center of the radar display and changing
depending on the size and the shape of waves. Generally, as waves become larger, image level of the sea
clutter is intensified and the clutter far away is also displayed. When waves are large and the sea clutter
level is high, it is difficult to distinguish sea clutter from a small boat whose reflection intensity is weak.
9.3.2 RAIN AND SNOW CLUTTER

Rain and snow clutter is a video image that appears in a location where rain or snow is falling. The image
changes according to the amount of rain (or the amount of snowfall). As precipitation increases, the image of
rain and snow clutter becomes intensified on the radar display, and in the case of localized heavy rain, an
image similar to the image indicating land is displayed in some cases. Furthermore, because radio waves
tend to attenuate due to rain and snow, the ability to detect a target in the rain and snow clutter or a target
beyond the rain and snow clutter may decrease.
9.3.3 COPING WITH SEA CLUTTER AND RAIN AND SNOW

CLUTTER
When the weather is bad and the ocean is rough, reducing the pulse width will reduce the influence by
spurious waves, and also the spurious wave rejection function effectively works; therefore, the use of short
pulse is effective when the weather is bad. By using image processing functions "3Scan CORREL" to
"5Scan CORREL", it is expected that spurious waves are further suppressed. Since optimal settings for
those items can be automatically made by using the function mode, it is recommended that STORM or RAIN
be used by selecting the function mode when the weather is bad. For details of the function mode, see
Section "5.13 MODE FUNCTION" and “5.2.3 FUNCTION SETTING”.
However, these functions may make some targets invisible, particularly targets with higher speeds.
196
9.4 FALSE ECHOES
The radar observer may be embarrassed with some echoes that do not exist actually. These false
echoes appear by the following causes that are well known:
9.4.1 SHADOW
When the radar scanner is installed near a funnel or mast, the echo of a target that exists in the
direction of the funnel or mast cannot appear on the radar display because the radar beam is reflected
on the funnel or mast. Whether there are some false echoes due to shadows can be checked
monitoring the sea clutter returns, in which there may be a part of weak or no returns. Such shadows
appear always in the same directions, which the operator should have in mind in radar operation.
9.4.2 SIDE LOBE EFFECT

A broken-line circular arc may appear at the same HL
range as the main lobe of the radar beam on the radar

display. This type of false echo can easily be
discriminated when a target echo appears isolated.(See
Fig. 9-4-2-1)
Fig. 9-4- 2-1
9.4.3 FALSE ECHO BY SECONDARY REFLECTION

When a target exists near own ship, two echoes from the single target may appear on the radar display.
One of those echoes is the direct echo return from the target and the other is the secondary reflection
return from a mast or funnel that stands in the same direction as shown in Fig. 9-4-3-1.

197
9.4.4 FALSE ECHO BY MULTIPLE REFLECTION

When there is a large structure or ship with a high vertical surface near own ship as shown in Fig. 9-4-4-
1, multiple refection returns may appear on the radar display. These echoes appear in the same
intervals, of which the nearest echo is the true echo of the target.
HL
Fig. 9-4-4-1
9.4.5 SECOND TIME ECHOES

The maximum radar detection range depends upon the height of the scanner and the height of a target
as described in the Section "9.1 RADAR WAVE WITH THE HORIZON". If a so-called "duct" occurs on
the sea surface due to a certain weather condition, however, the radar beam may propagate to an
abnormally long distance, at which a target may be detected by the radar.
For instance, assuming that the pulse length is MP3 (on the repetition frequency of 1400 Hz), the first
pulse is reflected from a target at about 58 NM or more and received during the next pulse repetition
time. In this case, a false echo (second time echo) appears at a position that is about 58 NM shorter
than the actual distance. If the false echo appears at 5 NM on the radar display, the true distance of the
target is 5+58=63 NM. On the pulse length is SP1 (on the repetition frequency of 2250 Hz), a false
echo may appear at a position that is about 36 NM shorter than the actual distance.
This type of false echo can be discriminated by changing over the range scale (the repetition
frequency), because the distance of the target changes accordingly.
If second time echo is appeared, the use of Economy mode in PRF menu is effective. Otherwise,
Stagger Trigger menu set to on. (Refer to Section "8.4 SCANNER" of INSTALLATION MANUAL.)
9.4.6 RADAR INTERFERENCE

When another radar equipment using the same frequency band as that on own ship is near own ship, a
radar interference pattern may appear on the radar display. This interference pattern consists of a
number of spots which appear in various forms. In many cases, these spots do not always appear at the
same places, so that they can be discriminated from the target echoes.(See Fig. 9-4-6-1)
HL HL
Fig. 9-4-6-1
198
If radar equipment causing an interference pattern and this radar are of the same model, their
transmitting repetition frequency is nearly the same. As a result, interference patterns may be displayed
concentrically.
In this case, the interference patterns cannot be eliminated by using only the interference reflector
function, so press the [TX/PRF] key several times to fine-tune the transmitting repetition frequency.
An interference suppressing effect can be heightened by applying a different transmitting repetition
frequency to the interference pattern source radar and this radar.
9.5 DISPLAY OF RADAR TRANSPONDER(SART)
The SART (Search and rescue Radar Transponder) is a survival device authorized by the GMDSS
(Global Maritime Distress and Safety System), which is used for locating survivors in case that a
distress accident occurs at sea. The SART is designed to operate in the 9 GHz frequency band. When
receiving the 9 GHz radar signal (interrogating signal) transmitted from the radar equipment on a rescue
ship or search aircraft, the SART transmit a series of response signals to inform the distress position to
the rescue and search party.
Perform the following settings to display SART on the radar screen.

(1) Range : 6 NM or 12 NM
(2) [SEA] control : Turning to the minimum position (counterclockwise fully)
(3) Automatic sea clutter : Off (Set to manual sea clutter suppression.)
suppression function
(4) Tuning function : Off (for less clutter)
(5) IR : Off
(6) Processing : Off
Note:
When performing the settings (1) to (6) above to display the SART signal, targets
around own ship will disappear from the radar display. T hu s , it is necessary to
exercise full surveillance over the conditions around own ship by visual watch in
order to avoid any collision or stranding.
If two or more sets of radar equipment are installed on own ship, use one set of 9
GHz band radar for detection of the SART signal and operate others as normal
radars for avoiding collision, monitoring targets around own ship, and checking
on own ship's position and avoidance of stranding.
After the detection of SART signal, the radar adjustment is required for general
navigation.

10.4 REPLACEMENT OF MAJOR PARTS

The system includes parts that need periodic replacement. The parts should be replaced as scheduled.
Use of parts over their service life can cause a system failure.
Direct exposure to electromagnetic waves at close range will have adverse

effects on the human body. When it is necessary to get close to the
antenna for maintenance or inspection purposes, make sure to turn the
indicator power switch to “OFF” or “STBY.”
When conducting maintenance work, make sure to turn off the power and
unplug the power connector J1 of the display unit so that the power supply
to the equipment is completely cut off.
Some equipment components can carry electrical current even after the
power switch is turned off, and conducting maintenance work without
unplugging the power connector may result in electrocution, equipment
failure, or accidents.
Make sure to shut off the main power before replacing parts.
Failure to comply may result in electrocution or equipment failure.
When replacing magnetrons, make sure to shut off the main power and let
the equipment stand for more than 5 minutes to discharge the high-voltage
circuit.
Make sure to take off your watch when your hand must get close to the
magnetron.
Failure to comply may result in damage to the watch since the magnetron is
a strong magnet.
Since it will be high voltage temporarily remains in the circuit even after the
main power is shut off. If you will touch the modulator, it should be touch
after a few minutes for discharging of high voltage.
