SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
"DANGER", "WARNING" and "CAUTION" notices appear throughout this manual. It is the responsibility of the operator and the installer of the equipment to read, understand and follow these notices. If you have any questions regarding these safety instructions, please contact a FURUNO agent or dealer.

Occasionally false echoes appear on the screen at positions where there is no target. The operator should familiarize himself or herself with the appearance and effects of these false echoes, so as not to confuse them with echoes from legitimate contacts.

4. 1 Multiple Echoes
Multiple echoes occur when a short range, strong echo is received from a 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 in Figure 4-1. Multiple reflection echoes can be reduced and often removed by decreasing the sensitivity or properly adjusting the A/C SEA.

4. 3 Indirect Echoes
Indirect echoes may be returned from either a passing ship or returned from a reflecting surface on your own ship, for example, a stack. In both cases, the echo will return from a legitimate contact to the antenna by the same indirect path. The echo will appear on the same bearing of the reflected surface, but at the same range as the direct echo. Indirect echoes may be recognized as follows: · they usually occur in a shadow sector · they appear on the bearing of the obstruction but at the range of the legitimate contact · when plotted, their movements are usually abnormal, and · their shapes may indicate they are not direct echoes.

4. 2 Side-lobe Echoes
Every time the antenna rotates, some radiation escapes on each side of the beam--called "side-lobes. " If a target exists where it can be detected by the side-lobes as well as the main-lobe, the side-lobe echoes may be repre-

Funnels, stacks, masts, or derricks in the path of antenna may reduce the intensity of the radar beam. If the angle subtended at the antenna is more than a few degrees a blind sector may be produced. Within the blind sector small targets at close range may not be detected while larger targets at much greater ranges may be detected. in path of radar beam

5. MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter tells you how to keep your radar in good working order. Before reviewing this chapter please read the safety information which follows.
5. 1 Preventative Maintenance
Regular maintenance is important for good performance. Always keep the equipment as free as possible from dirt, dust, and water splashes. A maintenance program should be established and should at least include the items listed in table 5-1.
DANGER
Turn off the power before performing any maintenance or troubleshooting procedure.
Hazardous voltages can shock, burn or cause death. Only qualified personnel totally famillier with electrical circuits should work inside the units.
5. 2 Replacing the Fuse
The fuse in the power cable protects the equipment against reverse polarity or ship's mains, overcurrent, and equipment fault. Never use an incorrect fuse serious damage to equipment may result and void the warranty. 12 V: 10 A fuse 24/32 V: 5 A fuse
RF RADIATION HAZARD
The radar antenna emits high frequency radio radiation which can be harmful, particularly to your eyes. Never look directly into the antenna from a distance of less than two feet when the radar is in operation as you could injure the cornea of your eyes. Always make sure the radar is set to stand-by or is turned off before starting work on the antenna unit.
Table 5-1 Recommended maintenance program
Period 3 to 6 months Item Exposed nuts and bolts on antenna unit Antenna radiator (1932/1942) Check point Check for corroded or loosened nuts and bolts. [. . . ] When a target ship has passed clear of own ship, the CPA is displayed and the TCPA appears as "**. *". and beyond this it is indicated as TCPA>99. 9 min.
Mode and length of Vectors
CPA/TCPA Alarm Visual and audible alarm are generated when the predicted CPA and TCPA of any target become less than their preset limits. The Auto plotter ARP-10 continuously monitors the predicted range at the Closest Point of Approach (CPA) and predicted time to CPA (TCPA) of each tracked target to own ship. When the predicted CPA of any target becomes smaller than a preset CPA alarm range and its predicted TCPA less than a preset TCPA alarm limit, the ARP-10 releases an audible alarm. [. . . ]
