MDC-2000 Series Introduction
Introduction
The main features of KODEN color LCD marine radar MDC-2000 series are as follows.
The high performance radar equipped with 10.4 inch color TFT LCD display can be used for
professional use.
Since, in the true trail function, moving targets such as other ships are displayed with tail and
stationary targets such as land are displayed with fix, the moving targets and fixed targets can be
easily distinguished. (Requires heading and speed signal input.)
Two screen images with different ranges can be displayed. If you set both short range and long
range, you can navigate the ship properly and grasp at the situation.
The automatic tracking aid (ATA) function is provided. The maximum 50 targets can be tracked.
The current movement of other ships can be shown with a vector and numeral value. It helps your
safety navigation. (ATA board: Option, requires heading and speed signal input.)
By connecting the AIS receiver, the collected information such as name, heading and speed of a
ship can be displayed. (AIS interface: Option, requires heading and position signal input.)
With the adoption of a specific filter (AR coat), an image can be seen more clearly against direct
sunlight.
The RGB output for an external monitor is provided as standard equipment. The use of an
external monitor enables you to observe easily the radar screen at a location away from a main
unit. (External monitor: Owner supplied)
A video from a CCD camera can be displayed. Observation of the engine room by CCD camera
helps your ship navigate safely. (CCD camera: Owner supplied)
Easy operation with dedicated control knobs for GAIN and STC.
Water protection, IPX5 of the display enables the use of the bridge.
At the time of flush-mounting installation, you can easily fix and remove from front side of the
display.

Chapter 3 Maintenance
To operate the radar equipment in a good condition for a long period of time, perform the inspection and
cleaning periodically.
(1) To protect the LCD and enhance the visibility, the acrylic filter is installed on the surface. If the
acrylic filter is dirty, an image cannot be clearly seen. If dirty, dip a soft cloth into a neutral detergent,
wring it lightly and wipe the filter surface lightly with the cloth. Do not use a dry cloth. If done so, due
to static electricity, the acrylic filter will attract dust.
Thinner Caution Never use a thinner solvent. The filter surface will be
chemically decomposed, resulting in the loss of the
solvent transparency.
(2) Check that the radiation surface of the antenna is not dirtied by soot. Dip a soft cloth into water or
soap water, wring lightly and wipe the antenna with the cloth. Check for damage and paint sticking.
Note: Before performing the maintenance and inspection of the antenna, thread a string
through the hole of radome (upper) as illustrated below and hang it up.

WARNING: Before opening the cover of the scanner, be sure to turn off the
power of the radar equipment to avoid the electrocution.
(1) Loosen the fixing screws and remove the cover of the antenna at the bow side. The antenna drive
motor can be seen at the inside in the cabinet.
(2) Referring to the illustration below, remove the motor brush with flat screw driver.
(3) Insert the screw driver in the groove of the brush and rotate it counterclockwise and slowly.
Be sure to replace both brushes at both sides.
(4) Insert the brushes and install the brushes in reverse steps.

If the input voltage is too high, hyper-current flows or a trouble occurs inside, the fuse blows out.
The fuse is housed in the rear side of the Display unit.
Location of fuse:
3 Fuse (0.3A)
2 Fuse (5A)
1 Fuse (15A)
3.3 Consumables
This unit employs the magnetron which is the consumables and needs the replacement periodically.
The magnetron is housed in the Scanner unit. When it is hard to see an image at a far distance, the
magnetron may be deteriorated. In this case, replace the magnetron. When replacing, consult your
sales dealer.

Caution
Even the power supply is switched off, there may be high voltage
remained at the capacitor inside of the transmitting and receiving
display unit. For securing safety at repairing works and inspection
works, please make sure that the residual charge after switching power
