WARNINGS
HIGH VOLTAGE
Radar equipment requires the use of high voltage, which can cause injury, or
loss of life. Danger exists only when the units are opened exposing internal
circuits, as when servicing the equipment. The Manufacturer Radar has been
carefully designed to protect personnel from possible injury from high voltages.
Nevertheless, it is recommended that the Line Switch always be opened as an
added protection when inspecting or servicing the equipment.
Although every effort has been made to eliminate danger to personnel, no
responsibility is accepted for any injury or loss of life suffered in connection with
this equipment.
X-RAY RADIATION
X-RAY radiation may be generated by Transceiver units and care must be
taken to avoid possible harmful effects when they are opened for maintenance.
When power is on, care should be taken not to approach closer than 1 ft. from
the unit unless front cover is in place.
RADIO-FREQUENCY RADIATION
Harmful effects (particularly to the eyes) may be caused by exposure of any
part of the human body to radio-frequency mean power densities in excess of
100 mW/cm2. This power density is exceeded at a distance of 1 ft. or less, from
the 12 ft. X-Band aerial (when stationary).
The system is however designed to disable radiation when the antenna is not
rotating.
The pedestals have also been predisposed for the installation of an external
safety switch, which can be mounted on, or near the platform. This switch
removes power from the Pedestal eliminating the possibility of accidental
operation during servicing and also causes disabling of transmission.
Whenever it is necessary to disconnect the waveguide system from a radar
transmitter for maintenance purpose, the transmitter output should, when
practicable, be terminated in a matched load. If this is not possible, care should
be taken to avoid standing in front of an open-ended waveguide from which
power is being radiated.
NEVER look down a waveguide from which power is being radiated.
SAFETY SWITCH
The Unit is provided of a safety switch, which disable the Antenna movement
during maintenance operations.

INSTALLATION AND SETTING
CHAPTER 1
INSTALLATION AND SETTING
Information provided by radar is of vital importance for navigators and the safe
navigation of ships.
Special care should be taken to ensure the correct installation of the radar, in
order to improve the performance of the radar system.
1.2 Interference
Due care should be taken with regard to the location of radar antennas relative
to other antennas which may cause interference to either equipment. The
location of the antenna should comply with the following:
The radar antenna should be installed safely away from interfering high-power
energy
sources and other transmitting and receiving radio antennas.
The lower edge of a radar antenna should be a minimum of 500 mm above any
safety rail.
1.1 Rev. E
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
INSTALLATION AND SETTING
Due care should be taken with regard to the location of radar antennas relative
to masts, funnels and other constructions.
To make full benefit from the radar, it is vitally important for the OOW that
horizontal and vertical blind sectors for the radar antennae are minimized. The
objective is to see the horizon freely through 360° as nearly as possible.
For all radar systems and where practical, a line of sight from the radar antenna
to the bow of the ship should hit the surface of the sea in not more than 500 m
or twice the ship length, depending which value is smaller, for all load and trim
conditions.
13°
Main Beam
13°
Waterline
1.2 Rev. E
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
INSTALLATION AND SETTING
Blind sectors should be kept to a minimum, and should not occur in an area of
the horizon from right ahead to 22.5° abaft the beam to either side.
Note: Any two blind sectors separated by 3° or less should be treated as one
blind sector.
Individual blind sectors of more than 5°, or a total are of blind sectors of more
than 20°, should not occur in the remaining are, excluding the are
in the above subparagraph (e).
For radar installations with two radar systems, where possible, the antennas
should be placed in such a way as to minimize the blind sectors.
RADAR Antenna
Obstruction
(ex: funnel)
Blind Sector
Coastline
The design of the mounting platform for the antenna and antenna pedestal
should take into account the vibration requirements of resolution A.694(17) and
furthermore defined by IEC 60945. In addition to vibration, the design of the
mounting platform should consider shock and whiplash due to seagoing
conditions.
1.3 Rev. E
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
INSTALLATION AND SETTING
Considerations of interaction with the sea imply that the radar antenna should
be only as high as necessary to clear major objects, and as high to be
consistent with other requirements regarding acceptable horizon and target
detection range. The location of the antenna should minimize sea clutter
returns and the-number of multi-path nulls.
The cables and the grounding should comply with the following:
All cables between antenna and radar System units should be routed as directly
as possible, consistent with consideration for other equipment, in order to
reduce electromagnetic interference effects. Cables should not be installed
dose to high-power lines, such as radar or radio-transmitter lines.
1.4 Rev. E
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
INSTALLATION AND SETTING
If the control panel is a separate unit, the functionality of the radar controls
should be available for the mariner at all workstations where a radar display is
available.
The orientation of the display unit should be such that the user is looking
ahead. The lookout view should not be obscured and the ambient light should
cause minimum degradation on the display screen in accordance with
MSC/Circ.982.

4. Check the phases status trough the LED on the Alpha PCB.
The three phases are given by the gyro with a 3 bit Gray code. The purpose of
this code is to detect the increment of the value and its sign; its most important
characteristic is that only one of the three bits at the time can change and in
this application (normally is not a characteristic of the Gray code), the 3 bits
cannot have all the same level. To give a quick look to the Gray code see the
four green LED on the Alpha:
1. The first one next to red LED is D33 and it indicates the first phase (S1).
2. The second one is D34 and it is the second phase indicator (S2).
3. The third one is D35 and it indicates the third phase (S3).
4. The last one is D36 and it is to indicate the Reference.
Now that the LED are individuated move the gyro or anyway simulate a steering
and the three LEDs (S1, S2 and S3) will start to change their state and will be
easy to observe that they will be never all on or all off and only one of them at
the time will change its state.

The AIS signal is connected to TB8 on the Alpha PCB.
It's possible to receive RS422 or RS232 standard signal only at 38400 bps. The
sentences accepted are: AIALR, AIVDM and AIVDO.
NOTE
it is also possible to connect the output from the RADAR to the
AIS device, to acknowledge the alarms coming from AIS from
the RADAR interface. Normally the AIS equipments have only
one input available, so that only one RADAR can be connected
to it and it will be only one able to acknowledge the alarms.
This output is on the same serial port TB8 with only sentence
generated: AIACK
The same output, is the source for tracking data sentences TTD and TLB.

NOTE 1
The length of an ITU-R M.1371 message may require the transmission of
multiple sentences. The first
field specifies the total number of sentences used for a message, minimum
value 1. The second field identifies the
order of this sentence in the message, minimum value 1. These cannot be
null fields.
NOTE 2
The sequential message identifier provides a message identification number
from 0 to 9 that is
sequentially assigned and is incremented for each new multi-sentence
message. The count resets to 0 after 9 is
used. For a message requiring multiple sentences, each sentence of the
message contains the same sequential
message identification number. It is used to identify the sentences
containing portions of the same message. This
allows for the possibility that other sentences might be interleaved with the
message sentences that, taken
collectively, contain a single message. This should be a null field for
messages that fit into one sentence.
2.4 Rev. E
NOTE 3
The AIS channel is indicated as either “A” or “B”. This channel indication is
relative to the operating
conditions of the AIS unit when the packet is received. This should be a null
field when the channel identification is
not provided. The VHF channel numbers for channels “A” and “B” are
obtained by using a “query” (see 7.3.4) of the
AIS unit for an ACA sentence.
NOTE 4
This field supports up to 60 valid characters. Under certain conditions, this
field may support up to a
maximum of 62 valid characters: 1) When the message can be transmitted
using a single sentence, the sequential
message identifier field is set to null allowing an additional valid character in
this encapsulated field. 2) When the
AIS channel field is set to null an additional valid character is allowed in this
encapsulated field. 3) The maximum
number of 62 valid characters is only possible when the conditions allow
both the sequential message identifier and
AIS channel fields is set to null.

Common target labels for tracked targets. This sentence is used to specify labels for tracked
targets to a device that provides tracked target data (e.g. via the TTM – Tracked target
message). This will allow all devices displaying tracked target data to use a common set of
labels (e.g. targets reported by two radars and displayed on an ECDIS).
$--TLB,x.x,c--c,x.x,c--c,...x.x,c--c*hh<CR><LF>
NOTE 1
This sentence allows several target number/label pairs to be sent in a single
message, the maximum
sentence length limits the number of labels allowed in a message.
NOTE 2
Null fields indicate that no common label is specified, not that a null label
should be used. The intent is to
use a null field as a place holder. A device that provides tracked target data
should use its ”local” label (usually the
target number) unless it has received a TLB sentence specifying a common
label.
2.7 Rev. E
This sentence is used to transmit tracked radar targets in a compressed format. This
enables the transfer of many targets with minimum overhead. New target labels are defined
by the TLB sentence to reduce bandwidth use. Transmission of up to four targets in the
same sentence is possible.
!--TTD,hh,hh,x,s—s,x*hh<CR><LF>
NOTE 1
The transfer of all tracked targets may require the transmission of multiple
sentences. The first field specifies the total number of sentences used for a
message, minimum value 1. The second field identifies the order of this
sentence in the message, minimum value 1. These cannot be null fields.
NOTE 2
The sequential message identifier provides a message identification number
from 0 to 9 that is sequentially assigned and is incremented for each new
multi-sentence message. The count resets to 0 after 9 is used. For a
message requiring multiple sentences, each sentence of the message
contains the same sequential message identification number. It is used to
identify the sentences containing portions of the same message. This allows
for the possibility that other sentences might be interleaved with the
message sentences that, taken collectively, contain a single message. This
should be a null field for messages that fit into one sentence.
NOTE 3
The tracked target data structure is described below. One sentence may
contain from one up to four structures of 15 characters in the same
sentence. This field supports a maximum of 60 valid characters for
messages transferred using multiple sentences.
NOTE 4
This cannot be a null field. See “x4” in description of encapsulation
sentences in IEC 61162-1.Every target (tracked or AIS) is packed according
to the structure below. Data is stored most significant bit first. Every
message character is converted into six bits. The structure is encapsulated

Fix data for single or combined satellite navigation systems (GNSS). This sentence provides
fix data for GPS, GLONASS, possible future satellite systems and systems combining these.
This sentence could be used with the talker identification of GP for GPS, GL for GLONASS,
GN for GNSS combined systems, as well as future identifiers. Some fields may be null fields
for certain applications, as described below.
If a GNSS receiver is set up to use more than one satellite system, but for some reason one
or more of the systems are not available, then it may continue to report the positions using
$GNGNS, and use the mode indicator to show which satellite systems are being used.

360° turn correspond to 360 cycles. For this setup the gyro resolution will be 1/6°
1:36 means that each stepper or synchro cycle corresponds to 10 degree, and 1 complete
Normally with most of the Gyro types the Gyro Ratio is 1:360.
Other settings are available with analogue gyro: one is the “Reference generated

When the reference signal to sample phases is external the checkbox should not be
activated.
The S1, S2, S3 symbols can be highlighted and reflect exactly the same gyro phases
states described on the analogue gyro section.
In any case consider that this kind of interface doesn’t permit same level phases, or no
reference signal connected (synchro mode). Every failure caused by these malfunctions
will be cleared only with a Gyro Preset operation.
The gyro preset is necessary also because this kind of interface is not absolute but
receives only incremental pulses and needs a preset value taken when the ship’s heading
is stable.

the performance monitor is a facility used to understand the goodness of

For SRT transceivers it also possible to change the delay to negative
numbers. In this case the trigger from the TXRX will be anticipated in time
in respect to the video. This negative setting is needed when trigger and
video are passing trough long coaxial cables with different propagation
times, the video cable being the slowest one.

Pressing the B button of fig. 3.9.1 is possible to set the QV. The threshold is used by the
automatic tracking to identify real radar echoes from receiver noise. This value depends
from the receiver noise, from the transceiver band, from the video cable attenuation. This
value can be set manually adjusting the noise level to see some points visible at 24 NM
range scale.
This adjustment is really subjective, and the receiver gain changes with the selected pulse
length, with the weather, the humidity and so on, so the preferred solution is to activate
the Auto Threshold. With this selection the automatic tracking software measures the PFA
(Probability of False Alarm) and calculates the correct threshold for the optimum detection
performance.

To operate trough the Memory Stick a directory file tree is needed in the USB memory:
A directory named “selux” shall be created in the root of the USB memory and it should
contain other directories named “logs”, “maps”, “screenshots”, “setup”, and “update”.
If this is not the case the picture on the left will be displayed and the only action possible
will be “Format Module”, which will not erase the files in USB Module, but just create the
needed directory tree.
By pressing the “Format Module” button the window will change as the first picture of this
page and it will be possible to operate over all the facilities.
The USB flash disk will be mounted in /mnt/usb and the USB STORAGE Menu will appear
as shown by the following picture.
The figure shows the possibility to store maps, backup setup files, system logs and
screenshot pictures on the flash disk and to get maps, backup setup files and to upgrade
the Selux-ST software from the flash disk.
This is a list of the sub-directories that can be found under the Selux directory.

SeluxST-pkg-X.Y.-YEARMONTHDAY
Where X.Y usually is the version and revision of the main application program (MMI) and
the Year Month Day number identifies the creation time of the package. The zipped files
cannot be used and they should be decompressed before transferred in the memory
stick.
Other updates are available like the srt-update-X.Y.-YEARMONTHDAY and they will be
automatically recognized as upgrade files for the SRT and transferred accordingly.
Press the "USB Selection -> System" push button to start the Upgrade.
Another menu window will be displayed with two progress bars showing the state of the
upgrade on each processor of the Antares PCB (A and B).
The operator just needs to wait until the progress bars shows the notice "Success.
Software Updated".
Note that is possible to read the value 100% in the progress bar, but the upgrading
is not terminated until the notice previously notice appears.
To run the new software reset the system by the Restart button in the Radar Setup Menu
or just by resetting the Antares Assy.

DEBUG AND SIMULATION FACILITIES
• Antenna, if not available for some reasons, just pressing "Antenna Sim
Off” and setting the correct antenna speed.
• Speed Log, when speed log is not working, just by selecting this window
”
"Log Simulation and setting the correct speed.
4.1 Rev. E
WARNING
THAT THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS MANUAL SPEED, THIS IS A SIMULATION AND IF
YOU CHOOSE THIS FACILITY THE SYSTEM WILL ALSO STOP TO LISTEN TO THE
EVENTUAL EPFS CONNECTED AND WILL CALCULATE THE SHIP POSITION
USING THE SPEED YOU INSERTED.
Video Selection.
This facility is used only to make some test in the system and is strictly
recommended to return it back to the "Raw Video" at the and of the test.
• Quantized Video: It is the on-off video used by the ARPA to make the
tracking. Could be necessary to visualize the Q.V. to see if the ARPA sees
all the echoes and if the Q.V. threshold is correctly adjusted or if the auto
adaptive one works at satisfaction. To understand if it is working fine there
should be all the echoes visible in raw video plus some noise points
around.
• Video Plot: On the PPI will be displayed only the video of the plotted
targets. Could be necessary to use it to when the ARPA loses an
acquired target, to see if under the plot is present under the acquired
target.
4.2 Rev. E
• Video Test: On the PPI will be displayed only the video generated by the
Training function, available in the ARPA and AIS Menu. It is interesting
to see it when using the Training function. In the picture is present a
flashing cyan drawn cross on the plot, this means that it is the training
target. The light brown rectangle is the tracking window, normally not
displayed.
• Anti Sea Clutter: On the PPI will be displayed some concentric circles
filled with different levels of yellow colour, showing the intensity of the
threshold of clutter suppression, according to the used shape.
In the zone of the strongest yellow the anti sea clutter suppresses more video
than in the zone of the light brown. By increasing the STC control the circles will
enlarge themselves indicating that the clutter suppression is moved out in
range.
Tracking Window.
By activating this control it will be possible to see the windows where the
tracking is looking for the plot. For more information regarding the tracking
windows refer to the Video Selection section and see the Video Plot and Video
Test pictures.
4.3 Rev. E
Plots.
This control allow to visualize the plot symbols.
Special Features.
By pressing the relevant button the system will ask for a password. There are
more than one special features in the system, and every one has a different
password. Please contact Consilium Selesmar for further information.
Video Oscilloscope.
This button opens a menu in which is possible to see the video input of the
Antares p.c.b., this facility is meant to see the video amplitude.
The video will be sampled at the EBL position each scan and the VRM mark will
be displayed as a range reference.
The oscilloscope can be configured in Spread mode where the video is
sampled equally spaced sixteen times a scan.
On the right list it is possible to select between different modes of presentation:

The Debug Display Menu gives the possibility to print a lot of information on the
screen. By pressing the first button on the left a list will be displayed with all of
the messages that are possible to be printed:

In the following pages some screenshots are shown to explain how the
sentences are colour coded. Yellow background colour is used for not accepted
sentences because their wrong CRC.
Red background colour is used for not accepted sentences when they have
wrong syntax or some field is missing.
Yellow printed sentences are simply not recognized for many reasons, for
example the VMVBW is not accepted because the Log was configured as serial
single axis with VHW as the only valid sentence.

• Traking debug:
the standard messages of the tracking program. At these messages is
possible to add all the debug tracking prints. Is possible to activate the
tracking debug just by pressing the "Tracking Debug Off” button and
selecting one of the options available. Every target selected from that
moment will be the source of this debug information.
