General Information and Safety Precautions

When a precaution is required which relates specifically to a part of the technical manual content, the in-
formation is given in the relevant part of the manual.
Warning and Cautions proceed applicable text.

1.1.1 High Voltage

Radar equipment requires the use of high voltage that can cause injury or loss of life. Danger exists only
when the units are opened exposing internal circuits, as when servicing the equipment. The CONSILIUM
SELESMAR Radar has been carefully designed to protect personnel from possible injury from high volt-
ages.
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.

1.2 INTRODUCTION

1.2.1 Manual Applicability

The present technical manual provides information, data and procedures relevant to the general descrip-
tion, operation, functional description, scheduled maintenance, troubleshooting, repair, replaceable parts
list and installation of the SELESMAR SELUX DISPLAY designed by CONSILIUM SELESMAR S.r.l.,
Via Romita, 26 - 50020 Montagnana V.P. - Florence (Italy).
For brevity of description, reference to the unit in the object can also be made by means of the CONSIL-
IUM SELESMAR code name: SELUX.

The contents of the present technical manual are arranged in chapters according to the following:

Chapter 1 - General Information and Safety Precautions

Chapter 2 - Operation

Chapter 3 - Troubleshooting

Chapter 4 - Corrective Maintenance

Chapter 5 - Part List

Chapter 6 - Installation

NOTE
This manual is for study purposes only. Schematics with radar
set may be different from those enclosed.

1.2.2 Purpose of the Equipment

The SELUX DISPLAY is a radar indicator with a presentation based on a raster scan principle.
The advantages of using the raster scan principles to produce a radar display are the following:

- true daylight presentation;

- continuous display of radar video;

- high number of graphics that can be superimposed to the radar picture;

- reserved data areas where all necessary navigational data can be presented at the same time.

To perform the above tasks new techniques are used in indicator circuitry.

A total of 360° radar scans or up to 8192 azimuth samples are converted and stored in a memory and
then presented on a raster scan display. These conversion and memory logic form the core of the indica-
tor.
In order to have a display resolution similar or better as compared to the traditional radar picture, very
large memories are used. In addition, the display monitor is able to present video data without loosing
the smallest information written into the memory.

In order to reduce the number of circuit boards (cards), a CPU performs more functions. Therefore, the

1.2.1 Rev. A
 SELUX DISPLAY
General Information and Safety Precautions
CPU has the total control of the system and gives the advantage to have very sophisticated diagnostics
and great flexibility.
Very large scale integrated micrologics are used.
A single card forms a complete sub-function and has very few connections to the rest of the system.
The modular design in the base of the system and sub-units are easily replaced in case of malfunction.

The SELUX DISPLAY performs the following operations:

- it receives the ship sensors data which are:

. GYRO: it indicates the ship course
. LOG: it indicates the ship speed
. EPFS: it indicates the ship position;

- it interfaces and receives signals from up to four transceiver, with relevant antenna, and selects the
transceiver to be used for the visualisation;

- it processes the received signal in order to detect the presence of a target;

- it processes the signal relevant to a target in order to obtain the target data: position, speed, course,
heading;

- it automatically tracks a target in order to update the target data;

- it visualises on the Monitor the target position.

1.4 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

From the mechanical point of view, the equipment is composed of the following units (Figure 1.4.1):

- Monitor Unit (pos. 1) on which the commands for the equipment functioning and the display on which
the target are visualised are mounted;

- DISPLAY CORE Unit (pos. 2) in which are mounted the equipment electronic boards.

- KEYBOARD (pos. 3 and Figure 1.4.4) on which the hardware to allow the functioning of the Control
Panel is mounted.

1.4.1 Monitor Unit

1.4.1.1 General

The SELUX DISPLAY Monitor Unit Figure 1.4.2 represents the interface between the Operator and the
Equipment. The equipment can be supplied with two different types of Monitor Unit. Technical character-
istics as in Technical Manual and in the following para 1.6.1.

1.4.1.2 Control Panel

The Control Panel is the interface by means of which the operator can insert data, change the working
parameters and perform the operations necessary for a correct use of the equipment.
Its position allows the operator to easily carry out his job.
The Control Panel is composed by the Front Panel (pos. 1) on which the equipment controls and the
luminous indicators are mounted; for more details, refer to Chapter 2.
The Control Panel is connected to the DISPLAY CORE Unit by means of a cable with connector.

1.4.2 DISPLAY CORE Unit

The DISPLAY CORE Unit (Figure 1.4.3) is composed of a metal box closed by a cover. When the cover
is removed, it is possible to access to the following components (Figure 1.4.5):

- the REI 2K Board (pos. 1);

- the Sirius Board (pos. 2);

- the Sirius Interface Board (pos. 3);

- the Power Supply mounted on the Sirius Interface Board;

- the Line Filter (pos. 4).

The boards are made up of multi-layers printed circuit using VLSI components; programmable gate ar-
rays and microprocessors are used to achieve a high package density, functional reliability and low
power consumption.
Auxiliary indicators (Light Emitting Diodes) are also located on the boards to allow easy scheduled test
and troubleshooting maintenance actions.

1.4.1 Rev. A
 SELUX DISPLAY
General Information and Safety Precautions

The Line Filter is fixed to the left lateral panel of the box by means of screws. The supply voltage (220 V
– 115 V 50/60 Hz) is applied through a service switch and the line voltage is sent to the SIRIUS INT by
terminal board.

The REI 2K Board is fixed to the right lateral panel of the box by means of screws. The board is the in-
terface between the SELUX and the transceivers connected to the equipment by sending command and
receiving signals through the BNC connectors and the Terminal Boards.

1.5 GENERAL FUNCTIONING DESCRIPTION

The SELUX DISPLAY receives from the connected transceivers the following signals (Figure 1.5.1):

- Video Signal;

- Trigger;

- Azimuth (AZ);

- Heading Line (HL).

The data are applied to the TXRX INTERFACE block of the REI board that, upon command of the MAIN
PROCESSOR of the SIRIUS board, selects the transceiver to be used. The signals from the selected
transceiver represent the data on which the equipment operates.

The signal process mainly consists of two steps:

- the Video Signal Processing;

- the Target Automatic Tracking.

The results of the signal processing are both visualised on the Monitor and sent to the Target Automatic
Tracking circuits.

1.5.1 Video Signal Processing

This section receives the Video Signal from the transceiver and, after the conversion in digital form,
processes it by removing:

- the Sea Clutter;

- the Rain Clutter;

- the Interference.

The processed signal is sent:

- to the Monitor for the visualisation;

- to the Target Automatic Tracking circuits.

In the Video Signal Processing blocks the signal, in digital form, is processed by means of proper algo-
rithms in order to recognise the presence of a target and, if the target is present, its shape and the tar-
get co-ordinates.

The target co-ordinates and the target shape are sent, in digital form, to the Automatic Tracking Section
of the equipment.

1.5.2 Target Automatic Tracking

This circuit receives the target co-ordinates from the RAIN CLUTTER SUPPRESSOR block and, if re-

1.5.1 Rev. A
 SELUX DISPLAY
General Information and Safety Precautions

quired by the MAIN PROCESSOR, it performs the following functions:

- it acquires a targets or manually or automatically inside an auto-acquisition map;

- it automatically tracks an acquired target; all the acquired targets are tracked if they are not in an in-
hibition map;

- it determines the target speed and course.

1.5.3 Target and Data Display

The targets are visualised on the Monitor with a presentation based on a raster scan principle. The ad-
vantages of using the raster scan principles to produce a radar display are the following:

- true daylight presentation;

- continuous display of radar video;

- high number of graphics that can be super imposed to the radar picture;

- reserved data areas where all necessary data can be presented at the same time.

To perform the above tasks new techniques are used in indicator circuits.
A total of 360° radar scans or up to 8192 azimuth samples are converted and stored in a memory and
then presented on a raster scan display. These conversion and memory logic form the core of the indi-
cator.
In order to have a display resolution similar or better as compared to the traditional radar picture, very
large memories are used.
In addition, the display monitor is able to display the video data without loosing the smallest information
written into the memory.

The Monitor area is subdivided, by software, in a target presentation (PPI) and a data table (Menu Ar-
eas) according to the CONSILIUM SELESMAR ARPA DISPLAY model (for more details, refer to Chap-
ter 2).

The presentation is carried out by a series of horizontal sweeps during which a frame is represented; the
frame frequency is 50 Hz. This allows to always maintain an optimum stability in the presentation.
The total area of the screen is made up of a rectangle of 1260 x 1024 pixels or 1600 x 1200, depending
form the display size, in which the right part is reserved to the presentation of the video signal and of the
graphic symbols. The left area is dedicated to the alphanumeric characters.
To display the video signal and the graphic symbols, the system is provided with memories where the
video signal and graphic symbols are stored at the Cartesian co-ordinates (X/Y) of representation on the
screen.
The video signal and the graphic symbols (vectors, arcs, special symbols, Bearing scale and segments)
are represented within the range of a circle.
The Monitor driving is carried out by the SIRIUS block. The block performs the following operations:

- it generates the horizontal and vertical synchronism signals;

- in function of the synchronism signals, it reads the video and graphics memories for displaying on
the screen;

Rev. A 1.5.2
 SELUX DISPLAY
General Information and Safety Precautions

- it generates, line by line, the alpha-numeric and the numbers (000 to 359) of the Bearing scale.

The video digital signals, the graphic symbols and alphanumeric are mixed, converted in analog signals
and sent with the horizontal and vertical synchronism signals to the monitor circuits. In the monitor, the
synchronism signals are separated from the video and sent to the deflection circuits, while the video is
amplified before being applied to the tube.

1.5.4 Tracking Error Sources and Effects

There are some factors that can generate errors and confusion in tracking and/or reduction of target de-
tection capability to the radar operator. Such factors are:

- Sea, Rain, Snow and Low Clouds Returns

- Radar Interference

- Sidelobes Echoes

- Blind Sectors

- Low Signal to Noise Ratio and Signal to Clutter Ratio.

1.5.4.1 Sea, Rain, Snow and Low Clouds Returns

Sea returns are caused by the reflection of the radar electromagnetic wave by the surface irregularities
of the sea and by the water droplet layer existing in the vicinity of the sea surface. They are displayed
as a bright circular area (sea clutter) around the PPI centre having a radius that, depending on the sea
state and the height of the antenna, can be up to 6-7 NM.

Rain, Snow and low Clouds Returns have two main effects on the radar electromagnetic wave

- Attenuation

- Masking effect

The first effect reduces both the power of the direct wave hitting a target and the power returning to the
antenna after the reflection from the target.
The second effect is due to the electromagnetic wave reflected by rain drops and ice crystals and ap-
pears as a bright area (rain clutter).

Radar echoes falling in sea or rain clutter areas are practically more or less masked by the clutter; in
order to minimise this problem, the operator must adjust the MANUAL SEA/RAIN controls or select the
AUTOMATIC SEA/RAIN controls.

Tracking of targets entering in these areas cannot work properly. Generally the effects of such errors
appear as continuous big changes of the target course and speed vector. Sometimes the target symbol,
having acquired a very high speed, can move away from the real target position causing after a certain
time the loss of the target with the relevant LOST TARGET ALARM.
These errors, in not very extreme weather conditions, can be normally avoided or at least minimised by
the operator with proper adjustments of SEA/RAIN controls.

1.5.3 Rev. A
 SELUX DISPLAY
General Information and Safety Precautions

For further information refer to para 2.4.2.7.3 and para 2.4.2.7.4.

1.5.4.2 Radar Interference

Occasionally other radar operating in the same frequency band can generate the interference. Normally
they appear on the radar screen as a series of spirals. The main characteristic of the interference is that
they are not sweep to sweep correlated; for this reason they should never generate errors in the tracking
process due to the sweep to sweep correlation performed by the video extractor. In very seldom cases,
when the interference falls on the tracked target, it can cause a deformation of the size of the echo and
consequently a small displacement of its centre of gravity; this can generate a momentary small error in
the course and speed values.
For further information refer to para 2.4.2.7.6.

1.5.4.3 Sidelobes Echoes

Radar antennas have a radiation pattern consisting of a main lobe and several very small sidelobes.
Most of the energy transmitted by the radar is radiated and received back on the main lobe; a very small
part on the sidelobes. This problem has no effect in case of distant or small targets, but the returns from
a large target at short range (less than 3 NM) can generate, on both sides of the main echo and at the
same range, arcs or series of small echoes.

These effects, when they are an extension of the main echo, can cause momentary errors for the track-
ing: course and speed values given by the tracking can become not stable. Normally the problem can be
eliminated or strongly reduced by an accurate adjustment of SEA control.

1.5.4.4 Blind Sectors

Funnels, masts (when located near the radar antenna) may cause blind or shadow sectors, where the
target visibility may be completely lost or strongly reduced. In these sectors the tracking will be very dif-
ficult and targets remaining there for long time (not seen for more than 10 antenna revolutions) will be
lost with the relevant “LOST TARGET ALARM”.

1.5.4.5 Low Signal to Noise Ratio and Signal to Clutter Ratio

In all other cases where the signal to noise or the signal to clutter ratio of the radar echoes is less than

Rev. A 1.5.4
 SELUX DISPLAY
General Information and Safety Precautions

approximately 3 dB (small vessels in heavy sea or rain clutter, big vessels close to the radar horizon),
targets detection is very poor and the tracking will not see at each antenna revolution the target; this will
cause errors in the tracking, that can range, in function of the frequency of missed information, from un-
appreciable instabilities of the target data up to the complete loss of the target when it is missed for 10
consecutive antenna revolutions.

1.5.5 Failure Procedure

This description does not take into account of failures that can be met during the functioning. If a failure
is met, the operator, according to the visualised information, will perform all the possible actions in order
to remove the failure itself. When occurs, the fail condition is pointed out by the following contempora-
neous events:

- the red SYSTEM FAIL LED, the central button of the sideways button, lights up;

- the acoustic alarm, if enabled, starts to functioning;

- in the General Purpose Section will be visualised the Fail System Warning.

1.5.6 WATCHDOG Function

WARNING
THE EQUIPMENT OPERATIONAL SOFTWARE IS MONITO-
RISED BY A HARDWARE WATCHDOG WITH A 1s TIMEOUT.

Software failures, caused by program halting, are automatically recovered with a watchdog triggered re-
start. Before the restart the failure shows as upper three LED flashing (Sirius PCB Status LED) with the
following binary code (lighted means ON, not lighted means OFF):

2.2.2 System Switching on Procedure

Pushing the POWER ON button (Figure 2.2.1, pos.2), the System set is switched on. The energised
green LED, placed on his left side, is now energised at high level. Pressing the push button, approxi-
mately 5 seconds, the screen will display the digital timer. The timer counts down three minutes of
magnetron warm-up time. During this period the magnetron, that is, the transmitter tube, is warmed for
the transmission. When the timer reaches 0:00, the indication STBY appears indicating that the radar is
now ready to transmit pulses.

When the LED POWER indicator is full energised, the operator is allowed to push the TXON button,
whose function is to radiate the electromagnetic energy around the ship. Pressed, the left side Yellow
LED will be energised and the System is ready to operate.

At the end of the operation, wishing to switch off the System, the operator will push again the TXON
push button.

Figure 2.2.3 TXRX Stand-by Window Information

During the magnetron warm up time the operator can get useful information concerning the magnetron
status operating. In fact, the System will display the Stand by TXRX window information (Figure 2.2.3)
visualising the information regarding the status, the life time of the magnetron and the remaining Stand
By time to the Ready condition; during the warm up time it is possible, as well, select the transceiver
the operator wants operate with and his operating condition, Master or Slave; the changing is possible at
any time, during the visualisation of the window, and can be performed by pressing the involved push
button.

To properly operate, before starting the operating, setting operations must be performed. Some are per-
formed by the System automatically, some by the operator and some others by factory technicians. An
example of the setting operations are:

2.4 PROCEDURES TO FOLLOW IN ORDER TO PROPERLY OPERATE

In order to properly operate it is necessary to provide some basic information; many of these are well
known by the personnel with experience acquired operating within such similar System. Some other are
easily comprehensible. In any case it is necessary to provide such common background in order to clar-
ify some significant operations.

In the following paragraph 2.4.1 very general procedures are provided; following, in Paragraph 2.4.2, the
synthetic description, and function, of each Section composing the System Data Area.

2.4.1 General

2.4.1.1 Selections: Operating Mode

The selection of echo radar, in PPI area, or of some function, by means of the buttons visualised in Data
System Area, is performed by means of the cursor, the Operating Push Buttons and the suggestions
visualised in the Help Line. The three Operating Push Buttons are called, as well, soft keys because
their actions change according to the Help Line suggestions visualised. Pressing one of the soft key, the
associated action visualised in the Help Line is carried out; if any, no action will be performed.

The operator can full operate only with the trackball (Figure 2.2.1, pos. 1), and the three Operating Push
Buttons (Figure 2.2.1, pos. 5, 6, 7). The operator, by means of the trackball, will place the cursor on the
PPI, or in the Data System Area, over a button labelled according the operation he wants perform or the
function he is looking for. Placing the cursor over the button, it will be lighted (Focusing) amplifying the
selection (see next Paragraph).

At the same time the Help Line (Figure 2.3.2, pos. 2) will display, in one row and in three columns, the
only three operations that operator can carry out pushing, accordingly, one of the three Operating Push
Buttons.

The operator can push one of the three Operating Push Buttons (Left, Centre, Right) with reference to
the suggestions visualised in the Help Line (Left, Centre, Right); If the suggestions displayed in the Help
Line, for example, are:

Figure 2.4.1 Help Line Suggestions, an Example

Pushing the left button, the selected target will be acquired; pushing the right button, the selected target
will be cancelled and pushing with the centre button, the target with the cursor superimposed will be se-
lected.

If the Help Line doesn’t display any suggestion, it is quite indifferent which Operating Push Buttons the
operator will press.

During the normal operating, wishing to discard the window the operator is operating with; the Help Line
instead of the suggestions assumes the following configuration:

2.4.1 Rev. A
 SELUX DISPLAY
Operations

Figure 2.4.2 Help Line Suggestions, Close

The meaning of the suggestion “CLOSE”, in the right column, is that the operator can close the visual-
ised window, from the Displaying Information Section, as well by pressing the right Operating Push But-
ton instead of the “X” on the top right of the window, discarding, eventually, the operation not already
executed.

NOTE
The best mode to operate, with three operating push button key-
board, is to use always two hands.

2.4.1.2 Cursor Shape

The cursor can change is shape/colour.

Entering in the PPI Area the shape is a cross, entering in the System Data Sections is a big, black,
arrow and over some button (such as the Visualisations buttons) is a tin double horizontal arrow. The
different shape represents a different operating way. If the cursor is placed in PPI area (operating in
PPI Mode) his shape is a cross and allows to perform the standard tracking and navigational operat-
ing, such as the target movement elements, CPA and TCPA; when is over a graphic bar, his shape is
a double horizontal tin arrow (Figure 2.4.3).

If the cursor, over the button, change the shape in double tin horizontal arrow (such as the GAIN but-
ton in the Video Processing Sections, Figure 2.3.2, pos.7 and in Figure 2.4.3), the button selection
will display a potentiometer indicating the value of the labelled function, the Gain or Menu in the ex-
ample; the value indicator will change according to the Operating push buttons selection (Increase,
No action, Decrease).

2.4.1.3 The Colour

Generally speaking, the dark colour visualise the static field, while the bright visualise the dynamic.

2.4.1.4 The Window

Basically, all the windows have a Title (Menu, where the window is placed in the System, pos. 1), a
Name (if necessary, pos. 2), the discarding “X” (to close the window, pos. 3. The “X” and the “DISCARD”
Button have the same function); the subject cover the remaining area (pos. 4).

Figure 2.4.5 The window: shape and items

2.4.1.5 The numerical/alpha numerical keyboard

When the operator, selecting some function, such as the manual speed or gyro (as in the following
described), has to fill in some data, the showed alpha numerical keyboard will be displayed in the
Displaying Information Section (Figure 2.3.2, pos. 6). The operator will insert the required data in the
only one available window in the keyboard, by means of selecting the number, or the letter.

2.4.3 Rev. A
 SELUX DISPLAY
Operations
Many function allows to display such keyboard; the keyboard operating is always the same, chang-
ing only the function (the headline displayed: course, speed, etc) and the measurement unit (angle,
Kt, meter, etc.). If the window is titled “Speed” (as in Figure 2.4.6) the value filled in is a speed; if the
same value is filled in the window titled “Bearing”, is an angle.

Figure 2.4.6 Numerical Keyboard, an Example

The operator, by means of the keyboard and the cursor, can fill in the chosen value, but the System
will check the filled value, not allowing to exceed the set value. In this case a Wrong Message error
will be displayed. The ESC labelled button allows to close the window; the DEL labelled button allows
to delete some number; the ENTER labelled button allows to accept the value and insert in the Sys-
tem the value filled in the displayed window.

In case of the data to be filled in are not available, the window will remain empty and the relevant indica-

radar; so that, operating with the ERBL (1 or 2) the operator can get the Range and the Bearing of an
echo radar.

2.4.2.4.3.2 Target Data Measurement

The Target Data Measurement can be performed by means of:

- Measurement by means of Range Rings and Bearing Scale

- Measurement by means of the Cursor

- Measurement by means of the ERBL 1 or 2

The following Table visualise the advantages and the disadvantages for each of the above Measurement

2.4.2.4.3.2.2 Measurement by means of Range Rings and Bearing Scale

The Measurement by Range Rings and Bearing Scale is performed when it is not necessary to get the
precise value but it is sufficient to have an approximate value.

When the Rings are visualised on the PPI, and operating in PPI Mode, the operator can evaluate the dis-
tance of the echo radar from the ring, the lower or the upper, and than measure the global range from the
centre.

The Range Rings are visualised by pressing the RANGE RINGS push-button, placed on Presentation
Modes Section (Figure 2.3.2, pos. 9), System Data Area; the rings, when activate, are equally spaced,
and displayed in the PPI Area. The spacing is displayed as well in the Presentation Modes Section,
(Figure 2.3.2, pos. 9): in Figure 2.3.1, PPI Area, the Rings are 1 N.M. spaced.

NOTE
The operating ERBL is displayed as a stroke, thick line. The other
one, not operating, is not visualised if the selection is OFF; if ON,
is visualised as a dotted line.

 SELUX DISPLAY
Operations
Placing the Cursor over the echo target, in the Cursor area (Figure 2.4.10, first row) will be displayed the
Cursor data, True or Relative, Bearing and Range; but, in this operating mode, the Cursor data coincide
with the echo target data.

2.4.2.4.3.2.4 Measurement by means of the ERBL 1 or 2

In order to measure the bearing of an echo radar, by means of one of the two available ERBL, the opera-
tor has to:

- select the PPI operating mode (Figure 2.3.2, pos. 3),

- select one of the two ERBL, 1 or 2, (the selection is performed by placing the cursor over the ERBL
and pressing the Operating Push Buttons; the only Help Line suggestion, Centre Button, is “SE-
LECT”)

- place the selected ERBL (1 or 2) in CENTRE operating mode,

- press the push button and drag the ERBL until is over the echo radar.

In the Cursor area (in the first of the selected ERBL two windows) will be displayed the Bearing value.

The ERBL can be utilised as well as a reference line, since the selected ERBL remain placed on the se-
lected position until the operator do not decide to shift over a new position.
When the ERBL (1 or 2 or both) is not used, the operator can disable their visualisation selecting the
ERBL OFF operating mode.

Similar operations must be carried out in order to select the True/Relative cursor and the ERBL Centred
ON/OFF.
Regarding the echo radar range measurement, the operator has to manually measure the echo radar
target distance from the centre.

NOTE
This measurement mode allows to get to get an accurate meas-
urement and the operator has to utilise this mode when the situa-
tion requires precise data.

Now, the operator is operating in PPI mode and the Range Rings are in OFF mode (the Range Rings are
not visualised). He has to place the cursor over the Variable Range Mark and afterwards, according to
the Help Line suggestion, select it; with the Operating Push Button pressed he will move the track ball
in order to place the Variable Range Mark over the echo radar he wants to measure the distance from
the centre. Performing this operation, the Variable Range Mark will increase, or decrease, according to
the movement.

In the second field of the selected ERBL will be displayed, continuously, the value of the echo radar tar-
get distance.
Instead to move first the EBL and then the VRM, or vice versa, the operator is allowed to move both op-
erating in the following way. He has to place the cursor on the intersection between the EBL and the
VRM and, maintaining the Operating Push Button pressed, move this intersection point: both the EBL
and the VRM will follow the movement from one to another position, target, echo radar, changing the
Bearing and increasing or decreasing the Range. The measurement will be displayed in the Displaying

Rev. A 2.4.10
 SELUX DISPLAY
Operations
Information Section. (Figure 2.3.2, pos. 6).

It is important consider that this last type of measurement is based on the drag of the ERBL; conse-
quently the best precision is performed measuring the echo radar at the maximum range. The scale se-
lection must be performed in order to place the echo target at the maximum range, so that the meas-
urement is close to the maximum range. The Range best precision is performed at higher distance but
not the Bearing value (closer performs the measurement, higher is the error). In order to increase the
measurement precision it is advisable to place the PPI in OFF Centre Mode; in this way the Range in-
crease and therefore the precision as well.

The EBL readout is affixed by “R” (Relative) if it is relative to own ship’s heading, or “T” (True) if it is refer-
enced to the North.

The VRM provide a more accurate measurement of the Range to an echo radar; the two VRMs will be
visualised on the PPI as dashed rings so that the operator will be able to discriminate them from the
fixed range rings; the two VRMs rings can be distinguished by different length of the dashes.

2.4.2.4.3.3 Target Data Measurement

The operator can utilise the two ERBL at the same time in order to perform operations otherwise not al-
lowed, such as:
1. Angle and distance between two echo radar. The operator is operating in PPI mode and the
ERBL (1 or 2) has been selected, placed on the first echo radar and the ON Centre Operating
Mode is selected; at the PPI centre is placed the echo radar. According to the procedure
described above, measuring the echo radar bearing and the distance from the centre, he is
measuring the Bearing and the Range between two echo radar.
2. Control the anticollision manoeuvre. The origin of the EBL can be placed anywhere, by means of
the trackball, in order to get measurements between any targets (bearing and range). This
function is utilised by the operator in order to verify the potential risk of collision. The operator will
place the cursor on the echo radar of interest by means of the track ball; select EBL OFF
CENTRE Operating Mode and place the EBL on the echo radar (the cursor position). After at
least three minutes, rotate the EBL until bisects the echo radar at his new position; the EBL
readout will display the ship’s course, true or relative. If Relative Motion is selected, it will be
possible to read the CPA as well; if the EBL passes trough the origin (own ship), the echo radar
is in collision course.
3. Control the underway in danger or in convoy area. By means of the EBL characteristics which
allows to place the origin every where, it is possible to set the two ERBLS in order to define a
Guard Zone or to control the ship’s course or distance from the coast or from some danger to the
navigation.

tion of each button will allow the operator to carry out different operations regarding the Gyro pre-set, the
Radar set-up and the Sys version. The second group, right side, is related to the Visualisation Parame-
ter (Night/Day Colour, Brilliance, Key Click On/Off, Help On/Off); the selection of each button will allow
the operator to carry out different operations regarding the Visualisation of the System.

Figure 2.4.13 System Set-up Menu – Parameter and Visualisation System

2.4.2.5.1.3 Gyro Pre-set

The function of this menu is to set properly the ship’s heading to the North, in case of incremental gyro
such as Stepper or Synchro; the set-up is not required in case of the serial or NMEA gyro.

Operating with an incremental gyro, if there is a need to change the heading, the value provided is only
the incremental value (a fraction of an angle) and not the absolute value; therefore there is a need to pro-
vide a reference properly pre-setting the gyro. In this way changing the heading, the incremental value
will be added to the pre-set value. Vice versa, operating with a serial or NMEA Gyro this pre-set is not
necessary; in fact, if there is a need to change the heading, the value provided is the absolute value (or-
dering 120°, the gyro will assume the heading 120°).

The setting is provided manually entering in the alphanumeric keyboard, displayed in the Displaying In-
formation, after the selection. Visualised, the operator is enabled to fill in the white window the Gyro
value.

The manual setting is accepted by the System but only to perform certain operations and operating with
the incremental gyro. For instance, operating with the incremental gyro and occurring a System Fail due
to the gyro failure, the message “Gyro Pre-set” will be displayed; the reference is lost. In this situation a
new reference is necessary and, at the end of the data insertion, the “Gyro Pre-set” message will be
cancelled. This need doesn’t occur operating with a serial gyro. Operating with a serial gyro, the reason
of a System Fail, due to the gyro failure, is that the messages doesn’t arrive to the gyro when, for in-
stance, the gyro is not powered up; the System Fail will be cancelled when the gyro will be powered
again and the proper messages will be forwarded.

2.4.2.5.1.4 Radar Set-up

Once the operator has selected the System Setup operating mode, in the visualized window, among the
others, three buttons will be displayed ("User Functions"): Function 1, Function 2, Function 3 (Figure
2.18). Selecting one, it will be possible to memorize 6 functions selected opportunely in the window dis-
played (“Function Key”) and among those available and displayed in the top down window (Auto Anti
Sea – Night Colour” - Range 24 Nm - Night Colour - etc..); as well the “No Function” selection is avail-
able. The button will display the stored function; even no one is stored (“No function”).

Generally the anchor watch function is intended to be used when own ship is at the anchor and there is
a need to control if the anchor of the other anchored ships moves excessively from its original position.
Operating in the PPI mode, the operator, selected this button, will place the cursor over the echo radar
visualising an anchored ship. Pressed the Operating Push Buttons, an anchor will be visualised where
the cursor is placed. If the ship moves (and the symbol as well) from this point for about 0,1 N.M., an

To activate this function set Training button to ON and a simulated target will be shown as a small x .
The target position depends form the own ship speed, the presentation mode and the training target
speed indicated on the label at the right. You have to change the range scale to locate the training tar-
get. The training target speed can be changed clicking on the right label, the speed is imposed only at
simulation startup.

A big flashing symbol "X" displayed in the lower part of the PPI warns that a training simulation has been
activated. From now on the operator can perform all the tracking operations.

At the first acquiring operation, the operator will check that the characteristics of the target are:

- V = true speed as selected in the related field

- CPA = 0.5 NM

- TCPA = 30 Min

To disable the simulation, the change the Training button in OFF operating mode.

GET AUTOACQUIRED” messages are displayed. The target symbol associated is visualised in Figure
2.4.23 and Figure 2.4.24. The target in guard zone is displayed flashing until the alarm is acknowledged.

The System provides four Guard Zones; when the Guard Zone window is visualised, the default Guard
Ring N°1 is visualised as well; the operator, by means of the button NEXT GR 1/2/3/4 will select one of
the others Guard Zone. If no one of these is accepted, the operator, according to the ship needs and op-
erating by means of the displayed buttons “+” or “-“, can vary the Guard Ring Type, the range of the sec-
tor visualised and its angular value, operating with the limits of the sector itself (Figure 2.4.19).

The operator will “ACCEPT”, “DISCARD” “ACTIVATE” the manoeuvre performed according to the sugges-
tions of the Help Line. When the zone is on and a target is acquired, the Guard Zone is displayed.

If the above operations are not performed correctly, the “WRONG SECTOR OVERLAPPING” message is
visualised in the System Data Area, Alarms Area (Figure 2.3.2, pos.8).

2.4.2.5.4.9 Trial Manoeuvre

The function of this button is to carry out the Trial Manoeuvre. Trial Manoeuvre is cinematic simulations,
provided as a rapid aid to evaluate collision risks as a result of possible course changes. The
simulations allow course changes up to ?135° from the initial course. To warn the operator that data dis-
played are not related to the situation, any time the Trial Manoeuvre is in use:

- a large “T” symbol is displayed on the PPI;

- on the Own Ship Section the word TRIAL follows the title OWN SHIP and the colour is red (Figure
2.4.22);

- on the General Purpose Section, Alarm Area it will be displayed the “TRIAL EXECUTED” in red col-
our (Figure 2.4.22).

To perform the Trial Manoeuvre, operating on PPI Mode, the operator will select this button. A new win-
dow will be visualised Figure 2.4.20; the first selection to be performed is if the Trial Manoeuvre must be
performed in Manual or Automatic Mode. To obtain realistic results, the ships turn rate delay and the
time required for evaluation and decision, are taken into consideration by means of a delay that can be
manually inserted.

The Manual Trial Manoeuvre is intended to be used in situations, where a course or speed change is
foreseen, and the new course must be tested for potentially dangerous targets. In order to perform the
Manual Trial Manoeuvre, the operator will fill in the window visualised the data related to the new Course,
Speed, Delay and ROT (Rate of Turn) he wants utilise in executing the Trial Manoeuvre (Figure 2.4.21);
normally the ROT, and Delay Time, at the power up, assume the default value, set according to ship’s
type, tonnage, etc. The operator can assume, or change, these values.

If a course change has been requested, the own ship turn toward the course set in the "TRIAL
COURSE" item; the same for the others Parameters. The turn is performed by using the specified Rate
of Turn.

The ship will turn with the new data and after the execution time (this time take into account the delay
that the ship requires to start the evasive manoeuvre or the time necessary to stop the ship, when the
TRIAL SPEED has been set to 0 knots):

- operating in True Motion Mode, own ship vector is displayed with the trial course, and at the esti-
mated position, where the manoeuvre ends; otherwise is always placed at the Centre;

- all target vectors on the PPI are displayed at their estimated position, according to the trial manoeu-
vre end, thus allowing the situation to be evaluated;

- if any of the tracked targets is dangerous at the trial course, their vectors is flashing and the DAN-
GER TARGET alarm is visualised in the PPI System Data Area;

- the data displayed in OWN SHIP Section (Figure 2.3.2, pos. 1), are replaced by the trial course data;

- if a trial course of more than ?135° is set, or the initial speed is 0 or invalid, the message TRIAL NOT
POSS is visualised in the System Data Area of the PPI;

- If TRUE MOTION is active and RELATIVE VECTORS are selected, the own ship vector, will change
consequently.

tentially dangerous, and own ship must assume a safe with least possible alteration from present

one target is in collision situation and the operator order an Automatic Trial Manoeuvre, the system will
confirm the course.

Figure 2.4.21 Trial Manoeuvre Window - Before the execution - Detail

In order to perform the Automatic Trial Manoeuvre, the operator will select “Automatic” in the visualised
window; the System will compute automatically the course to keep own ship out of the danger, the
computed time to carry out the manoeuvre, the side of Manoeuvre, Port or Starboard; the Manoeuvre will
be visualised in a new window, Figure 2.4.21. Within this selection, the operator can only press the
“ACCEPT” or “DISCARD” button; in order to execute the manoeuvre, the operator has to maintain
pressed the “TRIAL EXECUTE” button, all the time requested, and visualised.

If, during the manoeuvre, one, or more, echo radar is closer than the Safe range, the manoeuvre will be
interrupted and the “DANGER TARGET” alarm will be visualised in the System Data Area, Alarms Sec-
tion (Figure 2.3.2, pos.8) and the Manoeuvre is not executed.

At the end of the Automatic Trial Manoeuvre:

- If some target is, at the same time, over the set CPA and TCPA, the manoeuvre will continue

- own ship vector is displayed with the computed safe trial course, and at the estimated position,
where the manoeuvre ends

- all target vectors on the PPI are displayed at their estimated position, according to the trial manoeu-
vre end, thus allowing the situation to be evaluated

- the calculated safe course is displayed in the Own Ship Section of the System Data Area (Figure
2.3.2, pos. 1).

If on the beginning of trial manoeuvre one, or more, targets have TCPA less than the trial delay time, a
“DELAY TIME TOO LONG” message is visualised in the System Data Area, Alarms Section (Figure
2.3.2, pos.8).

If the Automatic Trial Manoeuvre get an unsuccessful result, the operator can:

- modify the time and distance danger limits (if they are, for instance too high, the manoeuvre fails),
and assume some others much more realistic; or

- decrease the Delay Time and/or increase the R.O.T.

If the Automatic Trial Manoeuvre get again an unsuccessful result, the operator can vary the speed.

2.4.2.5.5 Symbols

Entering in this menu, the operator will enable, or disable, on the PPI, the ARPA symbol visualisation
(Figure 2.4.23); the AIS target symbol are visualised in Figure 2.4.24. Note that the AIS target symbol
visualisation will be enabled by pressing the button “AIS ON”.

To each target acquired and tracked, the System associates a symbol, which can be visualised on the
PPI, as follows:

- Symbol: it indicates the type of the target and is automatically assigned by the System; the meaning
of each AIS symbol, visualised in Figure 2.4.24, is at para 2.5.1.4;

- ID Code: composed as a number from 1 to 40, is assigned to the target, as the lowest number avail-
able at the acquisition; the number remains with the target until this is cancelled;

- Vector: the direction indicates the target movements whilst the length indicates the expected dis-
placement of the target within an interval time; in case the target movement is slow, the vector length
is a dot.

True Vectors are obtained by pressing “TRUE/REL VECTOR” push-button (para. 2.4.2.9.4) and reading
on relevant data field "TRUE VECTOR". This allows true movement of targets, and is used to evaluate
the actual traffic situation. Initially, after acquisition of a target, the system will not have sufficient quanti-
tative data to provide a reliable vector and a cross will be displayed on the target instead. Vector trend
symbol will display, after approximately 1 minute, the approximate speed and the distance; after three
min. will be visualised the precise value and, the symbol becomes steady.

TRUE VECTOR presentation is disabled either log failure or if MANUAL SPEED is selected.

The operator can change some Parameters of the symbols such as the VECTOR TIME and the PAST
POSITION ON/OFF visualised in the General Purpose Section of the System Data Area (Figure 2.3.2,
pos. 9). ARPA SYM ON function should normally remain in its ON position. If, however, ARPA symbols
disturb the observance of radar image, the function may be set to its OFF position until the presence of
targets has been verified; meantime GDO, CPA, TCPA and past position continue to be computed.

The setting of the Parallel Index is displayed as well. The Parallel Lines function is to visualise the dis-
tance between own ship and the coastline or one, or more, ship when navigating. This function is par-
ticularly useful navigating in limited, or restricted, water and navigating in traffic separation area.

The operator selecting “PARALLEL INDEX” (from 1 up to 4) and after-

wards “ON/OFF”, “RELATIVE/TRUE”, (the Parallel lines are Relative if
anchored to the own ship heading and True if anchored to the North)
and the Angle and the Distance from own ship, will visualise the Parallel
Lines on the PPI (Figure 2.4.26).

It is suggested to select the Parallel Lines True when the reference is

geographic, such as the coast line, and the Parallel Lines Relative when
the reference is a moving reference such as another ship.

At the end of the selections, on the PPI will be visualised the Parallel Lines. The operator by means of
the trackball can place the Parallel Line at the desired distance forcing one terminal point and the other
at the required angle. The range is changed operating on the parallel terminal point and the angle rotat-

The system can actually visualize up to 40 Targets ARPA and 100 Targets AIS (The closer to the own
ship among the 500 that potentially the System can elaborate). In order to:

- reduce an excessive symbols and targets representation, that could determine some danger confu-
sion,

- compensate a possible failure of one of the two targets (for instance, if the ARPA target falls behind
an island, the system keeps on tracking and visualizing the target AIS).

The system allows the fusion in one of two traces (ARPA and AIS), regarding the same Target.

NOTE
During the fusion the data visualized are the ones related to the
AIS Target.

NOTE
The Data Fusion is, by default, always ON; the operator can
choose to select OFF by clicking on the push button when, and
if, there is no more the need to operate the targets fusion.

In order to get the AIS/ARPA Data Target Fusion, the operator has to fill in three data in the above win-
dow:

- Max Delta Range (in the Figure 0.5 NM)

- Max Delta Speed (in the Figure 5.0 KT)

- Max Delta Course (in the Figure 22.5°)

The AIS/ARPA Data Target Fusion will occur only when:

- The Data Fusion is ON (see above Figure)

- The ARPA Target is steady

- The AIS and The ARPA Target are at distance lower than the Max Delta Range filled in (in the figure
0,5 NM), at speed lower than the MAX DELTA SPEED filled in (in the Figure 5.0 KT), and the course
is lower than the Max Delta Course filled in (in the Figure 22.5°).

The AIS/ARPA Data Target Fusion is not possible when and if:

- even one of the above conditions is not realized

- the AIS Target has a COURSE and/or SPEED failure (Gyro and/or Log Failure)

2.4.2.5.7 MAPS

2.4.2.5.7.1 General

The Video Maps are the navigation’s graphic, formed by lines, text and symbols, to be superimposed on
the PPI. Each map consists of up to 120 segments, 32 texts and 32 symbols. Each Map element can
be either a segment, or a symbol or a text.

The Video Maps are divided in three types:

- Relative Map.

- Dead Reckoning Map.

- Geographic Map.

The Relative maps follow the movement of the own ship and are always in the same position respect to
the own ship.

The Dead Reckoning maps are relative to the land and to the North, their position is calculated with the
own ship speed and heading sources.

The Geographic maps are relative to a fixed geographic position (if EPFS is available).

NOTE
In case the EPFS is in Fail or Invalid is not possible to display
Geographic Map; and in case of Log or Gyro Failure only

Operating with the Video Maps it is possible to perform many operations, such as:

- Select a Video Map;

- Recall a selected Video Map;

- Create a new Video Map;

- Undisplay the selected Video Map;

- Move the selected Video Map;

- Rotate the selected Video Map;

- Editing of a previous stored Video Map.

In order to operate with the Maps, the operator has to select the “MAPS” button and enter, in this way,
in the Maps Section. The window “VIDEO MAPS MENU” will be displayed (Figure 2.4.28) and the opera-
tor will be allowed to create a new map by pressing “CREATE NEW”, or to select an existing map from

which cannot find place in any other menu placed in the various Sections composing the System Data
Area; secondary windows, such as Gyro Pre-set Menu, or the alphanumerical keyboard visualised when
the operator has to fill in data manually.

The most important function of this Section is to visualise all the information related to the selected, and
acquired, echo radar, and AIS Target (Figure 2.3.1 and Figure 2.4.40). The System is scheduled in order
to acquire for simultaneous automatic tracking up to 40 targets. If 40 targets are already under tracking
and further acquisition is attempted one of two messages are visualised: TOO MANY or AUTOACQ.
NOT POSS. As a consequence of this tracking, automatically a number is associated to the target and,
if the ARPA SYMBOLS and AIS SYMBOLS are enabled, a symbol is visualised on the target. Another
consequence is that the System calculate the bearing, distance speed and course of the tracked target
and, upon requirement of the operator, visualises these data in the Visualisation Section as above de-
scribed.

Figure 2.4.40 Target Data Window

The data are visualised in three columns (the visualisation regards the data relevant the selected, and
acquired, echo radar and AIS target), are: in the first column is visualised the information, in the second
column the data related to the AIS target and in the last one the data related to the ARPA target; note
that some field in the ARPA target column will be empty.

At start up the gain is placed at the standard level in order to receive the proper noise quantity. The Gain
adjustment is a very important operation. The gain Control adjusts the sensitivity of the radar receiver.
The proper setting is such that the background noise is just visible on the screen. Setting up for too little
gain, weak echoes may be missed. On the other hand with an excessive gain yields too much back-
ground noise; strong targets may be missed because of the poor contrast between desired echoes and
the background noise on the display.

Because the SEA control affects the Gain, it will be necessary to manually readjust it if the Gain setting
is manually changed.

2.4.2.7.2 Tune

The function of this button is to fine tune the receiver in the scanner for maximum target returns on the
Monitor. The system allows three different mode of tuning: Graphic Bar, Automatic Tuning, Manual Tun-
ing.

2.4.2.7.2.1 Graphic Bar

The graphic bar, visualised when pressed the button, indicates the tuning level of the receiver with re-
spect of the marker. The adjustment is performed placing the cursor over the button labelled TUNE; a
double horizontal tin arrow will be displayed. The Help Line will suggest “DECREASE” “NOT USED” “IN-
CREASE”, Figure 2.4.43. If the operator wants increase the Tune value, will push the right Operating

Push Button; vice versa, if he wants decrease the Tune value, he will push the left selecting button. The
potentiometer will change consequently.

2.4.2.7.2.2 Automatic Tuning

Pushing the Centre button, the tune is automatically performed. Each time the Transmitter is tuned on
automatically the receiver is tuned on, and the radar tunes itself automatically on all range scales. The
default tuning method is automatic. If, for some reasons, it is not possible to carry out the automatic
tuning, will be displayed the message “Manual Tuning Required Alarm”.

2.4.2.7.2.3 Manual Tuning

The Manual Tune, to be performed in case of failure to the automatic tune, set is allowed about 10 min-
utes after the radar is operating, once the magnetron has warmed up. The operator should set a Range
of 24 N.M. And set the Gain in order to visualise the threshold noise and then adjust the tune control in
order to obtain the maximum signal strength. The manual Tune is allowed only with medium and long
pulse.

The Tuning set is memorised so that changing Transmitter there is no need to repeat the set operation;
and if there is a need to change the Tuning, it will be possible.

2.4.2.7.3 Rain

The button indicates the intervention of the Anti Rain Clutter processing; in case of automatic process
inside the window, it is also visualised the writing AUTO.

A marine-radar is sensitive enough to detect small targets like buoys and boats, but it is as well sensi-
tive enough to detect signals from sea waves, raindrops, snowflakes, and sand particles. Moreover radar
signals are attenuated by fog and rain drops; the rain drops themselves return noise like signals which
continuously change size, intensity, and position. These returns sometimes appear as large hazy areas,
depending on the intensity of the rainfall or snow in the storm cell, which can saturate the receiver and
mask all targets they are enveloped by the rain. Such signals are known as clutter and represent a seri-
ous limitation to buoys and boats radar detection. The RAIN control is used to reduce this clutter, so
that targets masked by the clutter can be seen on the radar picture.

As a result of what said above, in any condition of clutter, the signal can be observed on the PPI display
only if its echo is stronger than the clutter.

The operator should therefore turn the control down when its use is not required. Since storm cells are
usually visible for long distances due to their extreme altitude, the operator may wish to leave them dis-
played so that it is possible observe the location of bad weather. Turning the RAIN control Off (equivalent
to setting the level to 0%), the actual setting is stored, and restored turning to the control on again.

In order to reduce the Rain drops effects the operator will select the button labelled “RAIN”, a double
horizontal tin arrow will be displayed and, selected, as well a potentiometer, whose function is to display
the level of the set receiver with respect of the marker, will be displayed. The adjustment is performed
placing the cursor over the button “RAIN” and following the Help Line suggestions “DECREASE” “NOT
USED” “INCREASE”. If the operator wants increase the Rain value, will push the right Operating Push
Button; vice versa, if he wants decrease the Tune value, he will push the left selecting button. The poten-

tiometer will change consequently.

Pushing the Centre button, the Rain is automatically, or manually, performed.

2.4.2.7.4 Sea

The function of this button is to reduce sea returns. The related potentiometer function is to indicate the
level of the fixed threshold added to the Anti Sea Clutter curve.

Sea clutter is composed of a very large number of echoes, originated by the random wave reflections
from scan to scan; this radar returns from waves around the vessel can clutter, therefore, the centre of
the radar picture making difficult to detect real targets. Such sea clutter usually appears as multiple
echoes on the display at short range scales, and the echoes are not repetitive or consistent in position.
Since the sea condition depends on the wind, it is not always easy to determine the most important fac-
tor affecting the sea radar echo. Generally at higher frequency (3 cm.) wind is a significant Parameter to
which sea echo be correlated. If sea is calm and not disturbed by wind, radar echoes are very small and
targets as seagulls can be easily seen on the PPI.

Field experience has demonstrated that:

- sea-clutter is much less a critical problem with S-band radar than with X-band radar

- as wind builds up and exceeds approximately 5 Knots, sea echoes rapidly increase from the previ-
ous small value. At lower frequency (10 cm.) sea return, is mainly originated by sea waves.

- the amplitude of the sea clutter decreases with the increase of range from the PPI centre.

Sea return is especially bothersome in heavy seas since buoys or other small objects giving echoes of
level lower than the waves cannot be detected by means of the Autoadaptive Anticlutter sea circuit. The
knowledge of approximate position of buoys or light ships is of considerable assistance as it is then
possible to use the Manual Anticlutter Sea and to concentrate on the appropriate section of the radar
screen. Land masses should be clearly visible in spite of heavy sea conditions.

Care should be exercised in the Anticlutter Control use. If the control is set too low, targets remain in
the clutter, while if the set is too high, both sea clutter and targets will disappear from the display. In
case of a too strong suppression of clutter, the dark area displayed around own ship may produce the
loss of potentially dangerous nearby targets. The proper setting of the Sea Clutter should be such that
the clutter is visualised as small dots, and small targets become distinguishable.

The SEA control reduces the gain level in the areas near your vessel, extending up to 3/5 N.M. depend-
ing on the wave and sea conditions.

In order to reduce the Sea effects the operator will select the button labelled “SEA”, a double horizontal
tin arrow will be displayed and, selected, the potentiometer, whose function is to display the level of the
set receiver, will be displayed as well. The Help Line will suggest “DECREASE” “NOT USED” “IN-
CREASE”. If the operator wants increase the SEA value, will push the right Operating Push Button; vice
versa, if he wants decrease the SEA value, he will push the left selecting button. Pushing the Centre
button, any action is performed.

WHILE ADJUSTING GAIN, TUNE, SEA OR RAIN, VERIFIES

NOTE
The sea and rain clutter do not affect the AIS Target.

2.4.2.7.5 Scan to Scan Correlation

The function of the Scan Control is to distinguish real target echoes from sea clutter; echo average per-
forms scan-to-scan correlation. Correlation is performed by storing and averaging echo signals over suc-
cessive picture frames. If an echo is solid and stable, it is presented in its normal intensity. Sea clutter
is averaged over successive scans resulting in the reduced brilliance, making it easier to discriminate
real targets from sea clutter.

Echo averaging uses scan-to-scan signal correlation technique based on the true motion aver the ground
of each target. Thus, small stationary targets such as buoys will be shown while suppressing random
echoes such as sea clutter. True echo average is not however effective for picking up small targets run-
ning at high speeds over the ground or, as well, small target at low scale, when the echo radar covers
great spaces in very short times; for this reason the operator has to pay high attention: it is possible, in
fact, that the radar do not detect such targets.

By means of this button the operator disable (OFF) the function or enable (ON); in the pop-up window
displayed, will be visualised the number of the antenna scan, allowing to recognise the echo radar and
the false echo. The selectable antenna scans are 1 Scan, 2 Scan, 3 Scan.

2.4.2.7.6 Interference Rejection, IR

The function of the Interference Rejection button is to elimi-

nate the mutual radar interference and the second trace
echo. The operator by means of this button enable (ON) or
disable (OFF) the function.

Further Information at para 1.5.4.2.

2.4.2.7.6.2 Mutual Radar Interference

2.4.43 Rev. A
 SELUX DISPLAY
Operations
Interference from other radar must be expected when two, or more, radar-equipped ships are operating
within the range of each other. The interference appears on the screen in the form of small dots moving
to and from the PPI origin. Even expected, they are cut by means of a digital Interference Suppresser
Circuit included in the Video processor System.

2.4.2.7.6.3 Second Trace Echo

Second trace echoes are present only in condition of super-refraction. In these situations, echoes
placed at big distances may be displayed on the screen as second traces echoes. This happen when
the return echo is received one transmission cycle later, after a next radar pulse has been transmitted.
They can be easily recognised because of their irregular shape. A radar set, with a pulse repetition rate
of 800 cps, presents second time around echoes whenever a signal is received from a target distant
more than 97 NM. Due to the fact that the period between two subsequent transmitted pulses is subject
to small variations the second trace echo appears undefined and hazy. These echoes will be displayed
at their correct bearing but at a wrong range given by their actual distance minus 97 NM.

2.4.2.7.7 Trails On/Off

Trails are artificial afterglow of the Radar image on the PPI, created by maintaining the echo intensity
once it has been seen, and then gradually reducing the intensity, or changing colour, scan by scan.
(Figure 2.3.2, pos. 7)

Target Trails may be shown in bleu tone. Gradual shading paints the Trails getting thinner with time just
like the afterglow.

2.4.2.7.8 TX/RX Interswitch

Figure 2.4.44 TX/RX Interswitch Menu Window

Refer to (Figure 2.3.2 and Figure 2.4.42). The function of this button is to set the TX/RX equipment com-
posing the System the operator is operating with. Selected this button, in the Visualisation Area will be
displayed the Figure “TXRX INTERSWITCH MENU” (Figure 2.4.44); entering in this window the operator
can select, in the first group of buttons, only the equipment among those composing the System (1 up
to 4 max.). In the second group of buttons the operator will be allowed to change the status of the se-
lected equipment., such as Master/Slave, Performance Monitor On/Off, Power.

Rev. A 2.4.44
 SELUX DISPLAY
Operations
2.4.2.7.8.1 Master/Slave

The function of the Master/slave button (Figure 2.4.44) is to select if the equipment has to operate as
Master or Slave. In Master modality the operator will control totally the System selected; in Slave modal-
ity they can’t control the transceiver but he is still able to perform changes for the presentation mode
(ex: change range scale) and adjust the video processing functions. The selection will be memorised by
the system and changed only by the operator at a new switching on; the selection performed regarding
one equipment, does not influence the selection regarding the others. Some can operate as Master and
some as Slave.

It is not possible that two equipment operate at the same time as Master; within the System only one
equipment can operate as Master. If two equipment are selected to operate as Master, the System will
recognise only one as Master according to a priority set during the installation; for instance, one could
have the TX S Band Priority and the other one on TX X Band, or vice versa. If one TXRX requires to be
Master and another one already is Master, the label will become yellow and blanking.

2.4.2.7.8.2 Performance Monitor ON/OFF

The Performance Monitor system (Figure 2.4.44) is provided as a way to check the equipment perform-
ance degradation. To activate Performance Monitor Control, the operator will select the button in order to
modify the label in Performance Monitor ON.

The best way to perform this selection is to set the range scale at 24 NM, adjust the Tune and these set
the Gain at its maximum. In this condition an intensified noise ring, positioned approx. at 24 NM should
appear. Ring's distance from centre is forward proportional to TXRX transmitted output power. When the
Magnetron has decreased 10 dB in peak power, the ring's distance will decrease down to 12 NM range.
Performance Monitor ring has a missing angular sector that may be within 60° and 100°. That missing
sector is due by real antenna transmitted RF beam. Any antenna output RF power degradation reflects
in a narrower angular ring interruption. When the angular sector reduces below 30° the antenna needs
service operations.
The ring's width is proportional to tuning condition. For proper tuning setting width is at its maximum
amplitude.
The ring's strength (difference between background noise and ring's noise) is a way to control receiver
noise figure. When a receiver noise figure degradation greater than 10 dB occur P.M. ring is not distin-
guishable, from background noise, anymore.

2.4.2.7.8.3 Normal/Power Boost

The function of the Normal/Power Buster selection (Figure 2.4.45) is to operate with the radar pulse
length in the best condition and according to the following Table. In both the modes, (NORMAL or
BOOST) the functioning of the System are the same changing only the transmission pulse length.

Range Scale Normal Boost

(NM) (µs) (µs)
0.25 0.07 0.07

48.00 0.80 0.80
96.00 0.80 0.80

The operator has to operate carefully selecting the pulse length. The transmitted RF pulse length (the
quantum of energy) is another important factor of radar characteristics: it determines the range resolu-
tion, the minimum and the maximum radar detection range. Generally, the System, and the operator,
will select a longer pulse for longer detection range and shorter pulse for better discrimination of nearby
targets at short distance, such as in harbour manoeuvring.

2.4.2.7.8.4 TXRX Data

Selecting The TX/RX Data button, the window “TX/RX DATA MENU” (Figure 2.4.45) will be displayed; in
this window are visualised some TX/RX Parameter such as the Antenna, PRF, Magnetron Lifetime,

2.4.2.9.1 Vector Time

The Vector Time button (Figure 2.3.2 and Figure 2.4.49) function is to visualise a Vector on the bow of
each target; operating in True Vector Mode. The length of the vector is computed in minutes and the

Rev. A 2.4.54
 SELUX DISPLAY

cusp, of the vector, represents the echo position
after the set minutes value. Visualised when the
ARPA SYM is ON, the Vector length is equal to
the target speed multiplied by this time value .

Selecting this button, the operator visualise the

alpha numerical keyboard; entering in these, he
can change the Vector Time Length from the visu-
alised to the desired.

2.4.2.9.2 Past Positions

The Past Positions button function (Figure 2.3.2 and Figure 2.4.49) is to visualise the last four positions
of each target; the operator can to enable the past positions visualisation (ON) or disable the past posi-
tions visualisation (OFF); selecting ON a pop up window will be displayed. Entering in these, the opera-
tor can select the time frequency of the visualised past positions (0.5 min, 1.0 min, 1.5 min, 2.0 min).

Visualised when the ARPA SYM is ON, these function is used to verify, on the PPI, whether the target
is manoeuvring or keeps a steady course. The path is displayed with up to 4 dots, spaced with a time
interval defined by the selecting PAST POSN time function. True (T) past positions are visualized when
in True Motion, relative past positions are visualized when in Relative Motion.

2.4.2.9.3 TM Reset

The function of this button (Figure 2.3.2 and Figure 2.4.49) is to reset in the PPI the own ship position.

The own ship position moves across the PPI according to own ships Course and Speed, while the radar
image is displayed according to its true movement. Operating in True Motion visualisation, therefore, the
own ship can exit from the monitor display. In order to avoid these situation, the operator, before the own
ship arrives at 50% in OFF centre condition, press this button and the own ship return back to the cen-
tre of the PPI. Some time, in order to increase the visibility range, it could be useful to place the own
ship in 50% off centre in the opposite direction of the course

2.4.2.9.4 Relative Vector

The Relative Vector button function (Figure 2.3.2 and Figure 2.4.49) is to visualise the speed vector on
the PPI; Relative or True speed regarding own ship.

2.4.2.9.5 Heading Line

By means of this button (Figure 2.3.2 and Figure 2.4.49) the operator can disable, the Heading Line
visualisation on the PPI.

2.4.2.9.6 Visualisation Area

The function of this button (Figure 2.3.2 and Figure 2.4.49) is to select the visualisation mode of the PPI.

By means of the selection of this button, the Figure 2.4.50, “Orientation and Motion Mode Menu Win-
dow" will be visualised. Operating within this window, the operator can select the Visualisation Mode

(North Up, Course Up, True Motion) and the Presentation Mode (Relative Motion, True Motion, Relative
Motion True Trials) he wants operate with.

The visualisation is displayed in rows and columns; the first and second column visualise the Relative
Motion, while the last one the True Motion; the “R” symbol means relative and the “T” means True. Note
that the Head Up Mode can only be performed in Relative Motion Visualisation.

Figure 2.4.50 Orientation and Motion Mode Menu Window

The available presentation Mode are:

2.4.2.9.6.1 Head Up

In this mode, the Heading Line on the PPI is oriented on 0°,

and the radar image is displayed relatively; as a conse-
quence, when the own ship turns, the radar image rotates.
A short red thick on the bearing scale represents the north
marker, indicating the compass North. The target echo is
displayed at his measured distance and in his direction rela-
tive to own ship’s heading. This orientation Mode is available
only if the radar is connected to the compass. The Head Up
mode is available only in Relative Motion mode. If True Mo-
tion mode or RM True Trails mode is chosen, North Up
mode is automatically selected unless Course Up mode is
selected.

2.4.2.9.6.2 North Up

In this mode, the Heading Line on the PPI is oriented according to the own ship heading obtained from
the Gyrocompass; as a consequence, the 0° indication on the PPI represents the North and, when the
own ship turns, the heading line changes its direction according to the ship’s heading. The radar image
remains stabilised in azimuth. The target echo is visualised at his measured distance and in his true
compass direction from own ship.

2.4.2.9.6.3 Course Up

When this mode is selected the Heading Line on the PPI is ori-
ented on 0°; the line connecting the centre to the top of the PPI
indicates own ship’s course. When the own ship turns, the ori-
entation avoid to lose the picture during the course changes or
to whiten the sector between the initial and the terminal posi-
tion. It is possible set a new course by pressing the button
“RESET COURSE”.

2.4.2.9.6.4 Relative Motion, (RM)

The own ship remains fix on the PPI, and the radar image move with relative motion.

2.4.2.9.6.5 True Motion ( TM )

The own ship position move across the PPI according to own ships Course and Speed, while the radar
image is displayed according to its true movement. The own ship speed must be more than 0.0 Knots,
in order to obtain TM function. If the own ship position exceeds 50% off-centre on the PPI the own ship
position is automatically reset to a point of 50% radius in the opposite direction. If a failure occurs to the
compass, the presentation Mode is changed in Head-up Mode and the North Marker disappears.

2.4.2.9.6.6 RM True Trails

This presentation is a combination of the Relative Motion and

the True Motion. The own ship position remains fix on the PPI,
while the targets create true trails when TRAILS mode is in
use. The use of this presentation, thus, takes the advantage of
the True Motion presentation, though keeping own ships posi-
tion fixed on the PPI, and thereby eliminating the need of fre-
quent reset operations.

WARNING
THE HEAD UP MODE IS AVAILABLE ONLY IN RELATIVE
MOTION MODE. IF TRUE MOTION MODE OR RM TRUE TRAILS
MODE IS CHOSEN, NORTH UP MODE IS AUTOMATICALLY
SELECTED UNLESS COURSE UP MODE IS SELECTED.

2.4.2.9.7 PPI Centre

Refer to (Figure 2.3.2 and Figure 2.4.49). The radar picture is normally shown with the own ship at the
centre of the display. However, the operator can move the centre, so that the ship is offset by up to 50%
of the radius, anywhere on the screen. The operator cannot offset the centre when the radar display is
set to the longest range scale (96NM).

The operator can select the presentation (ON/OFF Centre) by means of the Keyboard, choosing the PPI
Mode operating and then selecting the PPI CENTRE BUTTON; the Help Line suggestions will be “OFF
CENTRE”, “SELECT”, “PPI CENTRE”.

Selecting OFF CENTRE (pressing the left Operating push button) and placing the cursor on the PPI, at
the new centre place, the radar picture will change the centre; vice versa, when the radar picture is in Off
Centre mode, and the operator wants set the own ship at the centre, will select the PPI CENTRE mode.

When the True Motion mode is in chosen, the PPI CENTRE push-button is disabled and the Off Centre
mode is automatically selected.

2.4.2.9.8 Range and Rings Area

The function of these buttons (Figure 2.3.2 and Figure 2.4.49) is to select the Range scale and to
change it in very easily and fast manner; it is allowed the Rings visualisation as well. The Range values,
selected by means of the RANGE button, can be, in nautical miles (NM): 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.5, 3, 6, 12,
24, 48, 96. The distance between two adjacent Range Rings is automatically selected when the range
value is selected and, in NM, can be: 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.

The operator, by means of the two buttons + and - will increase or decrease the distance between the
rings and the range of the radar, accordingly.

The longest range scale provides a maximum range of between 24 and 96 nautical miles depending on
the scanner. The long range scales provide the best overview of the own ship relationship to land
masses, weather fronts and large ship targets in or beyond view.

The short range scales provide greater detail of the radar echoes close to own ship, and should be used
as the ship approaches the coastline, harbour or other vessels in the area.

2.5 GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE AIS (AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM)

AND THE SART (SEARCH AND RESCUE TRANSPONDER) VIDEO PRESENTATION ON THE
DISPLAY

2.5.1 AIS (Automatic Identification System)

2.5.1.1 General

The AIS (Automatic Identification System) is a shipboard broadcast system that can acts like a trans-
ponder, operating in the VHF Maritime band; it is capable of handling over 5000 reports per minute and
updates as often as every two seconds. The information are coded and the system allows the contem-
poraneous exchange of the information among all the ships operating in the same area. The system is
based on the VHF channel, RX one and TX the other, and uses the Self Organising Time Division Multi-
ple Access (SOTDMA) technology to meet this high broadcast rate and ensure reliable ship to ship op-
eration.

Every channel is divided in temporal slot; during this slot is performed the exchange of the information
related to the ship and the information necessary to the control of the traffic in the area.

Each AIS system consists of one VHF transmitter, two VHF TDMA receivers, one VHF DSC receiver,
and a standard marine electronic communications link to shipboard display and sensor systems. Posi-
tion and timing information is normally derived from an internal or external global navigation satellite sys-
tem (e.g. GPS) receiver, including a medium frequency differential GNSS receiver for precise position in
coastal and inland waters. Other information broadcast by the AIS, if available, are electronically ob-
tained from shipboard equipment through standard marine data connections.

The information exchanged belong to two main groups: Static and Dynamic. Are static information the
ones that doesn’t require an high refreshing rate such as Name, Callsign, Tonnage, Destination, ETA;
take part to this group the information that do not change and are forwarded (as in VTS) in order to in-
crease the safety control capability in the area and the anticollision avoidance. The refreshing rate is
about 3 minutes. The dynamic are the information changing continuously, such as position, course,
speed, heading, ROT, etc. These information are forwarded at high refreshing rate and according to the
ship operating; if the ship is anchored, or moored, the data do not change and the refreshing rate is very
low, for example 3 minutes (in these condition the system can control up 5000 ships); if the ship is
docking or moving at low speed, the refreshing rate is higher but still low, for example 1 minute; the re-
freshing rate increase increasing the ship’s speed and if the speed is higher than 14 Kn, the refreshing
rate is about 2 seconds. The refreshing rate is scheduled.

As above said the AIS can control up to 5000 ships, from theoretical point of view; it is important clarify
that the maximum number is 100. The System controls all the received targets to display only the first
100 targets closer to the own ship. When the system reaches this limitation new AIS targets will be ac-
cepted only if more near than the farthest AIS target; in that case the farthest AIS targets will be un-
displayed. All of them can be selected, and activated. The reason, of this reduced number, is that the
AIS philosophy is to visualise on the Monitor the maximum number of dangerous target, to perform, on
the AIS Target, all the operations performed on the ARPA Target and not fill the Monitor with a high
number of information, not usable and non manageable.

2.5.1 Rev. A
 SELUX DISPLAY
Operations

2.5.1.2 The System Advantages

The AIS provides the following advantages:

- the data position, provided by GPS, have a precision higher than the radar data;

- it is possible visualise even the ships covered by a natural obstacle; the radar microwave are re-
flected by the natural obstacle, such us the coastline, mountain, hill etc, while the VHF radio wave
propagation is superficial and is not reflected by the obstacles;

- the clutter doesn’t affect the ship position, therefore it is possible visualise even the target in rain or
sea clutter;

- the information provided are higher than the ones provided by the radar; the radar information are
course, speed, position while the AIS provides as well the heading, name, ID, etc. The radar provides
the ship’s heading only at low distance (lower, for example, than 5 NM);

- the AIS provides the ROT, information useful to understand if the ship is manoeuvring or not;

- the AIS continue to operate even a failure occurs to the radar; and this is very important in the anti-
collision avoidance.

2.5.1.3 Operating

All the information are forwarded to the Monitor by means of a serial line; for this reason it is necessary
to set properly the System in order to receive even this type of information.

The operator enable the operating AIS System (Target Data Reception and Visualisation) selecting the
button “AIS ON” in the “ARPA e AIS Menu” window (Figure 2.4.17 ), and will disable the operating AIS
System selecting the button “AIS OFF”. According to this selection, the OWN SHIP window, first row
(Figure 2.3.1, Figure 2.3.2, Figure 2.4.8) will display the AIS operating Mode (AIS ON/AIS OFF); if some
failure occurs to the AIS, the selection will remain “AIS ON” but the visualisation in the OWN SHIP Win-
dow will change in “AIS OFF”. The AIS operating mode will display AIS OVERFLOW with a different
color background when the system display limitation for AIS displayed is reached.

Always in the first row will be displayed the number of the AIS Target, and the number of the selected
and acquired target, in brackets (Figure 2.3.2, Figure 2.4.8).

The AIS doesn’t operate, when:

- the operating selection is “AIS OFF”;

- the own ship position system, or the own ship gyro, is out of order or the data are invalid. In this
situation, the AIS switches automatically in AIS OFF mode; in fact it is impossible the computing of
the relatives data;

- the own ship speed data are not available or are incoherent; it is impossible the computing of the
relatives data;

- the speed source is not defined; in the AIS it is not possible to fill the speed manually, or use the
autodrift speed; t is possible use the EPFS speed and the stabilised log speed (SOG/COG or
STW/CSE). When the speed is established, in the OWN SHIP and TARGET DATA MENU Window

Rev. A 2.5.2
 SELUX DISPLAY
Operations

will be displayed SOG or STW, according to the stabilisation (Figure 2.3.2, Figure 2.4.8, Figure
2.4.40).

2.5.1.4 The AIS target Symbol

The AIS Target Symbology is visualised in Figure 2.4.24. The description is in the following Table 2.1.17.
Note that the Target symbols are visualised at the target’s position.

Table 2.5.1 - AIS Target Symbol Description

AIS Target Description of Symbol

Sleeping Target An isosceles, acute angled triangle should be used with its centroid representing the
target's reference position. The most acute apex of the triangle should be aligned with
the heading of the target or with its COG, if heading information is not available. The
symbol of the sleeping target may be smaller than that of the activated target.
a An isosceles, acute angled triangle should be used with its centroid representing the
target's reference position. The most acute apex of the triangle should be aligned with
the heading of the target or with its COG, if heading information is not available. The
COG/SOG vector should be displayed as a dashed line starting at the centroid of the
Activated Target triangle. The heading should be displayed as a solid line of fixed length starting at the
apex of the triangle.
b A flag on the heading indicates a turn and its direction in order to detect a target
manoeuvre without delay.
c A target without COG and SOG.
Selected Target A square indicated by its corners should be drawn around the target symbol.
Dangerous Target A bold line clearly distinguishable from the standard lines should be used to draw the
symbol. The size of the symbol may be increased. The target should be displayed
with vector, beading and rate of turn indication. The symbol should flash until
acknowledged. The triangle should be red on colour displays.
Lost Target A prominent solid line across the symbol, perpendicular far example at right angles )
to the last orientation of lost target the symbol should be used. The symbol should
flash until acknowledged. The target should be displayed without vector, heading and
rate of turn indication.

If, for some reason or due to a failure, in the Target message data the speed datum is not visualised, it
will be impossible the CPA/TCPA computing and the AIS Target will assume a symbol of a big dotted
triangle.

If ARPA and AIS Target are placed at same position, they will not be merged but will be separately visu-
alised; the selection priority regards the AIS Target and the discarding priority regards the ARPA Target.

2.5.1.5 Operating with the AIS target

NOTE
The AIS operating is equivalent to the ARPA relevant functions.

Operating within the AIS it is possible to perform the same operations performed in the ARPA System;

2.5.3 Rev. A
 SELUX DISPLAY
Operations

in Figure 2.4.17 are displayed the operations performed only by the ARPA (left column), by ARPA and
AIS and only by the AIS (lower two buttons).

The only operation the operator can perform with the AIS Targets is the acquisition; it is impossible dis-
card the sleeping target: he is as the echo radar. What the operator can do is to select the AIS OFF
Mode. Acquired the AIS sleeping target, the symbol became bigger, the heading and the COG/SOG
vector will be visualised; if the ship turn, a path predictor will be visualised. The selection of a sleeping
target provokes is acquisition.

The sleeping AIS Target will be automatically acquired by the system when:

- enter in the Autoacquire Zone. Entering in the Guard Zone/Autoacquire Zone, the AIS Target doesn’t
change but a message will be visualised “AIS Target in Guard Zone”;

- the CPA/TCPA are lower than the set minimum safe value; in this situation the AIS Target is classi-
fied by the system as dangerous.

NOTE
The operator cannot de-activate the dangerous AIS Target.

As soon as the AIS Target is acquired, the related Data Information will be displayed in the Displaying
information area by means of the “Target Data Window”; the window displays the AIS data and the
ARPA data. The information, ARPA and AIS, are visualised in the same Figure (Figure 2.4.40); they are
the following (note that the ARPA information data are lower than the AIS):

- Target ID

- Ship’s name

- MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity)

- Callsign

- Range

- Relative Bearing

- Tracking

- Relative SOG and COG

- CPA/TCPA

- Latitude and Longitude.

As said above, the Target Data Message is refreshed within the scheduled rate, according to the ship’s
operating. If the message is not received within the scheduled rate, and the delay is 6 times over the set
time, the target will be classified as “LOST”, the alarm will be given; the target remain, on the PPI, in
this condition still 1 minute; afterwards it will be automatically cancelled, if not acknowledged.

Wishing to disable all the AIS symbology, the operator will select the push button “AIS SYMBOL OFF”

Rev. A 2.5.4
 SELUX DISPLAY
Operations

or, to enable, “AIS SYMBOL ON”; even in “AIS SYMBOL OFF” condition, the CPA/TCPA and all the an-
ticollision avoidance controls are computed (refer to “Graphic Symbol Menu” Window, Figure 2.4.25).

It is possible select even own ship (always identified as target NR. 1); the field related to the speed,
bearing, CPA and TCPA are obviously empty; the own ship data visualisation is useful in order to realise
if our AIS is properly operating. Note that the own ship course, and heading, data are the gyro and not
the AIS data; the reason is to avoid errors when the speed is very low.

Operating with low scale (lower than 2 NM) and the ship dimension is about 24 Pixel, the visualisation
on the PPI is no more the triangle but the dimension of the ship forwarding the message. In this visuali-
sation it will be displayed as well the AIS position and the heading and speed vector starting from the
AIS position (Figure 2.4.20, Figure 2.4.26).

The AIS position is different from the antenna radar position and from the conning position, it is impor-
tant, therefore, establish the “COMMON REFERENCE POINT”. In our System at the PPI centre is
placed the antenna radar, even is not, the ship’s vector starts from the conning display (GPS position);
range, bearing and CPA/TCPA of ARPA and AIS target are always referred to the antenna position. Dur-
ing the setup phase, is set the position of the AIS sensor and the antenna radar; the System provides to
refer the GPS data to the antenna radar, and vice versa (and forward these data to the other ships). If the
AIS is installed, the own ship dimensions are picked up from the AIS messages.
The AIS list lists all the AIS Target, including the sleeping target; these list visualise (Figure 2.5.1):

- the Target ID (from 2 up to 100, the maximum number; the number 1 is reserved to own ship); the ID
number is visualised when the cursor is close to the target for more than 1 s;

- the ship’s name;

- range at the opening the window.

NOTE
The danger target is red and the selected one is blue.

Pressing twice the button, the related information will be displayed in the reverse order. The lateral bar
allow to roll between the data.

played in the Displaying Information window.

2.5.2 SART (Search And Rescue Transponders) Video Presentation

The Search and Rescue Transponder, or SART receiver/transmitter, is used for emergencies; the range
for detection of a SART is normally about eight nautical miles. More specifically, it is used to locate dis-
tressed vessels by making a series of dots on a rescuing ship's 3 cm radar display. (Global Maritime
Distress & Safety System). Upon receiving a pulse from any standard 9GHz X-band radar, the SART
immediately transmits a response which is swept repetitively across the complete radar frequency band.
When interrogated, it first sweeps rapidly (0.4 ?s) through the band before beginning a relatively slow
sweep (7.5 ?s) through the band back to the starting frequency. This process is repeated for a total of
twelve complete cycles. At some point in each sweep, the SART frequency will match that of the inter-
rogating radar and be within the pass band of the radar receiver. If the SART is within range, the fre-
quency match during each of the 12 slow sweeps will produce a response on the radar display, thus a
line of 12 dots equally spaced by about 0.64 nautical miles will be shown.
When the range to the SART is reduced to about 1 N.M, the radar display may show also the 12 re-
sponses generated during the fast sweeps. These additional dot responses, which also are equally
spaced by 0.64 N.M, will be interspersed with the original line of 12 dots. They will appear slightly
weaker and smellier than the original dots.

NOTE
SART can be revealed on X Band Radar only. Small echoes are
displayed on SHORT pulse only.

Normally this Chapter provides the necessary information to execute the preventive maintenance opera-
tions which must be carried out in order to ensure the equipment full efficiency. In the case of the Selux,
nevertheless and due to his hardware, there are not scheduled these particular procedures.

What is required to the operator is to inspect carefully the equipment and notice every possible anoma-
lies such as the integrity of the equipment, the presence of rust, removal of the painting, partial unscrew-
ing of the screws. It is required to the operator, besides, to clean the equipment and remove the dust,
ash and grease, if necessary, by using soft cotton and alcohol. Caution must be placed on not using
solvent to clean plastic parts.

With regard to the preventive maintenance of the Monitor, refer to the Monitor User Manual furnished as

To install the equipment, pay attention that:

- an appropriate bracketing device is installed on the main line according to the desired requirements;

- the cables are installed according to relevant System schematic diagram.

ATTENTION
Install the units at a distance less than 3 m between them.

The cables stuffing tubes are located in the lower side of the mounting cabinet and the cables enter the
unit through an opening in the cabinet covered with a plate which can be easily removed.
It is advisable to leave a space of at least 30 cm. under the unit to facilitate access of the cable through
the lower plate.
Before drilling this plate, cable layout should be carefully planned so that cables arrive at terminals in an
orderly manner.
With a few exceptions, the multiconductor cabled used includes coaxial wires for Video, Trigger and An-
tenna data. It is therefore required to handle these cables with particular care.

7.3.2 Grounding Instructions

The ground connection of the units has the purpose of preventing injury to the personnel in case of dam-
ages to the equipment when it is powered.

Protective ground connection to the hull shall be made according to MIL-STD-1310C, paragraph 5.3.2
(Bonding Class A, Type III) through fork shaped lug soldered to a copper-zinc sleeve having the following
characteristics:

- Thickness ? 0.5 mm

- Length/width ratio = 5

- Length = 20 cm

- Width ? 2 cm.

Connection has to be made by E1 at the closest grounding point.

Accidental loosing at both side shall be avoided and resistance across E1 - hull must be less than 0.1
? .

7.3.3 Interface Connections Instructions

Power and signal interface instructions (connectors, adapters, clampers, cables and accessories) are
given in the System Technical Manual, to which reference is made.

The technician responsible for the installation has to check the interconnection with the other equip-
ment; tables from Table 7.3.2 to Table 7.3.6 resume the information necessary to check the cabling of
the equipment with respect to the external units; moreover the table gives the reference designation, the
type of equipment connector and, in case of multipin connectors, the reference to the detail table.
