Chapter 4 MEASURE THE SURROUND SHIP 62 ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊FOR REFERENCE＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ ABOUT THE DATA READ OUT WHEN MEASURE USING EBL /VRM The RADAR can measure Target position as BEARING(degree°°°°) and RANGE(nm). BEARING is two way to measure. ①①①①One is the RELATIV BEARING which is measured from Own ship heading line. ②②②②Another is ABSOLUTE BEARING which is measured from the NORTH line Of cause, ABSOLUTE BEARING is calculated by (RELATIV BEARING+GYRO BEARING). So, ABSOLUTE BEARING is necessary the signal from GYRO or GPS compass. ☆☆☆☆In case of no external bearing signal, display only RELATIV BEARING mode. ☆☆☆☆(TT)Target Tracking function and display AIS symbol is necessary the GYRO or GPS compass signal. When GYRO or GPS compass signal are received, normally Azimuth is measured based on from the NORTH(ABSOLUTE AZIMUTH). This Radar’s scanner microwave BEAM WIDTH is about 5degrees. So every target echo has more than 5degrees width for bearing direction. For above reason, In case of read out the target azimuth, set EBL line to the center of the target echo. Target echo RANGE is measured by the distance from Own ship for any azimuth. Target echo size is proportion to pulse length which own ship was transmit. In case of MEASURE SHORT RANGE ECHO using VRM, set ring to the echo’s nearest point from Own ship. At that point is the correct RANGE for any pulse length.
Chapter 5 USEFUL FUNCTIONS 63 Chapter 5 USEFUL FUNCTIONS 5-1 MOB (MAN OVER THE BOAT) GPS signal and heading data (GYRO or GPS compass signal) are necessary. Under navigation, if accident has happen (dropped person from the ship or anything). Tap the MOB icon, then Radar remain that point’s longitude latitude in a moment. And any time keep displays the plot symbol on screen. For help the dropped person, anyway navigate the ship to MOB symbol position. 5-2 OFF-CENTER FUNCTION Shift the own ship center is possible to shift for more wider area observation.. Each tap of the icon, will shift the own ship center one step to the next. Own ship’s shifting trace is as follows. downward left upward right Own ship position Trace Own ship position

Tap the screen in some place, the cursor icon will come out of screen. It’s display that point’s bearing and range on down side of screen. If GPS signal is alive, that’s position’s Longitude, Latitude is displayed. Numeric display is fade out from screen touch off after 5 seconds. Tap screen will come out cursor onscreen. Down side of screen displayed as follows. “BEARING” BRG 28.5° “RANGE” RNG 0.8463NM In case GPS signal is connected. “Latitude “ LAT N35° 27.8835’ “Longitude” LON E 139° 52.4440’ Numeric display is faded out from screen touch off after 5 seconds.
Chapter 5 USEFUL FUNCTIONS 65 5-4 SETUP THE GUARD ZONE (WATCH THE TARGET IN ALARM AREA) Guard zone function detects the echo’s moving in warning area. Alarm area can set in-alarm, or out-alarm both. In alarm: Target echo is inside guard zone, generate the alarm sound. Out alarm: Target echo go to outside of guard zone, generate the alarm sound. Watching area is setting start point to end point of circle area. Select alarm condition in-alarm or out-alarm. ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊FOR REFERENCE＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ Guard zone is move accordance with own ship’s movement. For example, set front side of the own ship, start keep watching, and if ship is crossing the setting area, automatically generate the alarm. On the other hand, watch keeping sip is set inside the guard zone, if ship were go outside the guard zone, automatically generate the alarm. Crew can realize which ship was moved. So, it is effective to use as watch keeping the fishing net or buoy.
