1. INSTALLATION

1.1 Antenna Unit (X-band Radar)

1.1.1 Installation Considerations

• The Antenna Unit is generally installed either on top of the wheelhouse or on the
radar mast, on a suitable platform. Locate the Antenna Unit in an elevated position
to permit maximum target visibility.
• A line of sight from the Antenna Unit to the bow of the ship must hit the surface of
the sea in not more than 500 m or twice the ship’s length, depending whichever val-
ue is smaller, for all load and trim conditions.

• BS/CS broadcast equipment may be subject to interference from radar waves. For
BS/CS antenna installation, adjust the height and installation position of the BS/CS
antenna to avoid interference from radars.
• Install the Antenna Unit so that any blind sectors caused by objects (mast, etc.) are
kept to a minimum. A blind sector must not exist in arc of the horizon from right
ahead to 22.5° aft of the beam to either side (see the figure below). Also, individual
blind sectors of more than 5°, or the total arc of both blind sectors of more than 20°,
must not occur in the remaining arc (Figure 2). Note that any two blind sectors sep-
arated by 3° or less are regarded as one sector.

• Do not install the antenna where extreme winds may strike the port and starboard
sides of the antenna.

1-1
1. INSTALLATION

• Install the Antenna Unit away from interfering high-power energy sources and TX
radio antennas.
• Keep the lower edge of the Antenna Unit above the safety rail by at least 500 mm.
• Install two Antenna Units as shown in the figure below.

• No funnel, mast or derrick shall be within the vertical beamwidth of the Antenna Unit
in the bow direction, especially zero degree ±5°, to prevent blind sectors and false
echoes on the radar picture.
• It is rarely possible to place the Antenna Unit where a completely clear view in all
directions is available. Therefore, determine the angular width and relative bearing
of any shadow sectors for their influence on the radar at the first opportunity after
fitting.
• Locate the antenna of an EPFS clear of the radar antenna to prevent interference
to the EPFS. A separation of more than two meters is recommended.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the Antenna Unit is placed too close to the
compass. Observe the compass safe distances on page ii to prevent interference
to a magnetic compass.
• Do not paint the radiator aperture, to ensure proper emission of the radar waves.
• The application of the supplied adhesive (marine sealant) to the chassis also serves
to prevent electrical corrosion of the paint on the chassis. Make sure to apply the
adhesive, referring to the procedure and the illustration.
• Ground the unit with the ground wire (supplied).
• Deposits and fumes from a funnel or other exhaust vent can affect the aerial perfor-
mance and hot gases may distort the radiator portion. Do not install the Antenna
Unit where the temperature is more than 55 °C.
• Leave sufficient space around the unit for maintenance and servicing. See the An-
tenna Unit outline drawing for recommended maintenance space.
• For X-band radar, an antenna switch is pro-
vided on the chassis to stop the antenna.
Make sure the mounting location provides
easy access to the switch.

1-2
 1. INSTALLATION

• For X-band radar, if it is

necessary to lay down the
radiator before you fasten
it to the Antenna Unit, lay
it down with the wave-
guide up, to prevent dam-
age to the cylinder that
surrounds the waveguide.
• If the de-icer is installed, a two-pole breaker (supplied locally) must also be installed.
Note: For more information, please refer to IMO SN/Circ.271 "Guidelines for the in-
stallation of shipborne radar equipment.

2. WIRING

2.1 Overview
The procedure explanations in this chapter mainly use illustrations of the magnetron
radar. Some parts are omitted in the illustrations for clarity.

Cable considerations
To lessen the chance of picking up electrical interference where possible, avoid rout-
ing the antenna cable (power and LAN lines) near other onboard electrical equipment
(radars, TX radio antennas, etc.). Also avoid running the cable in parallel with power
cables. When crossing with other cable, the angle must be 90° to minimize the mag-
netic field coupling.
The antenna cable between the antenna and Processor Units is available in lengths
of 15 m, 30 m, 40 m, and 50 m. Whatever length is used, it must be unbroken; name-
ly, no splicing allowed. Use the antenna cable as short as possible to minimize atten-
uation of the signal.
The radar must be connected to an emergency power source, as required by SOLAS
II-1.
About wiring
• The length of LAN cables must be within 50 m.
• Use Cat5e or Cat6 LAN cable for the network if available locally.
• If LAN cables are not available locally, use the optional LAN cables (FR-FTPC-CY
for sensor network, DTI-C5E350 VCV for gateway network).
• If extension or division of the DVI or RGB cables is necessary, use the dividers
shown below.
• DVI cable divider: DVI-12A (maker: IMAGENICS)
• RGB divider: CIF-12H, DD-106 or WBD-14F (maker: IMAGENICS)
• Make sure that the ground wires are connected between the ground terminals on
each equipment and the ship’s earth.
• Pass the cables through the specified clamp or the wiring clamp.
• If a UPS (user supply) is connected to this
equipment, be sure that the grounding lamp
does not light.
• The output from the UPS must be a sine wave,
as shown in the figure to the right.
• The application of the supplied adhesive (ma-
rine sealant) to the chassis also serves to prevent electrical corrosion of the paint
on the chassis. Make sure to apply the adhesive, referring to the procedure and
the illustration.
• The application of the supplied adhesive (marine sealant) to the chassis also
serves to prevent electrical corrosion of the paint on the chassis. Make sure to ap-
ply the adhesive, referring to the procedure and the illustration.

About network construction

• Use the optional Switching Hub HUB-100 to connect the sensor networks. For the
gateway networks, use the optional Intelligent Hub HUB-3000.
• Do not connect the ship’s LAN network to the optional HUBs. Also, commercial PCs
cannot be connected to the gateway network, other than for maintenance.
• To connect the FAR-2xx7 series via LAN network, use the Gateway network.
• This unit does not support IGMP snooping or CGMP enabled switch.
• This unit does not have a router or repeater hub function.
• The Switching HUB HUB-100 does not support IGMP snooping or GCMP enabled

Flexible waveguide (FR-9)

The RF interconnection between the Antenna Unit and the transceiver can be made
with a flexible waveguide (FR-9). If the rectangular waveguide is used, observe the fol-
lowing installation guidelines.

• Correctly installed waveguide runs ensure the most efficient transmission of electri-
cal energy at high frequencies. Electrical losses, however, occur in the waveguide
runs. To minimize them the following factors are of great importance: minimum
length, airtightness and electrical continuity.
• Another consideration required is that of frequency disturbance. The transmitting
valve, a magnetron, is the primary oscillator in the radar. This is different from the
oscillation system at lower frequencies in which conventional radio valves are used.
In the latter case, the primary oscillator is always protected from the effects of load
impedance by a buffer stage so that frequency and waveform are left unobstructed.
With a waveguide and magnetron, however, mismatch of impedance causes “fre-
quency pulling.” For this reason, the number of possible mismatches in a waveguide
run, i.e., joins and bends, must be kept minimum.
• Each pair of flanges should be coupled with one O-ring, four bolts and spring wash-
ers and the choke flange must be in the upper position. The bolts and O-ring must
be greased before insertion to facilitate removal if required at a later date.
• The transceiver unit output flange is
a plain type and the Antenna Unit
output flange is a choke type, and it
is important to maintain this relation-
ship throughout the waveguide run.

• After installation of the waveguide is completed, the coupling portions must be

sealed by using the supplied adhesive (marine sealant).
• In a very short time the surface of the waveguide becomes green with verdigris.
Therefore, paint both the surface of the waveguide and flanges to avoid corrosion
and water penetration. Paint must not be allowed to reach the inner surface of the
waveguide or the mating surface of any flange.

Note: After completing the settings and adjustments, copy the setting data to a SD-
card* (USB flash memory* for C-type radars), referring to the Operator's Manual. This
will allow easy restoration of setting data after the MAIN Board is replaced, etc.
*: The SD card slot is in front of the Processor Unit, and the USB flash memory slot is
connected to the RP board 03P9657.

At the first start-up after installation, turn on

the Processor Unit with the main switch. Open
the protected menus to adjust the radar. Fol-
low the procedures in this chapter to complete
the adjustment.

**: For DC power specifications, the Processor

Unit does not have the main switch. To power
on the Processor Unit for DC power specifica-
tions, turn on the ship’s Mains.

For FAR-2258/2268DS radars, turn on the

Power Supply Unit also with the main switch.

Note: Turn the main switch of the Processor

Unit off before turning the Power Supply Unit
off. Further, both units should also be turned
off at the ship’s main switchboard.

Below are the controls on the Control Unit RCU-014/015/031 (or optional RCU-016)
that are used to make the adjustments.

Open the main menu then select [ECHO]

[TUNING INITIALIZE] to start initialization.
"TUNE INIT" appears on the top of the dis-
play during the initialization.

After tuning is completed, right-click twice to

close the menu.

Note 1: In STBY, this menu is not available.

Note 2: For solid-state device radar, this
menu is invalid.

3.2 How to Align the Heading

You have mounted the Antenna Unit facing straight ahead in the direction of the bow.
Therefore, a small but conspicuous target dead ahead visually must appear on the
heading line (zero degrees).

3-3
3. ADJUSTMENTS

In practice, you will probably observe some small bearing error on the display because
of the difficulty in achieving accurate initial positioning of the Antenna Unit. The follow-
ing adjustment will compensate for this error.

1. Select a stationary target echo at a range between 0.125 and 0.25 NM, preferably
near the heading line.
2. Operate the EBL control to bisect the target echo.
3. Read the target bearing.
4. Measure the bearing of the stationary target on a navigation chart and calculate
the difference between the actual bearing and apparent bearing on the radar
screen.
5. Show the [RADAR INSTALLATION] menu.
6. Select [ECHO ADJUSTMENT] followed by [HD ALIGN].
7. Key in the bearing difference. The setting range is 0° to 359.9° (default: 000.0°).
8. Confirm that the target echo is displayed at the correct bearing on the screen.

3.3 How to Adjust the Sweep Timing

Sweep timing differs with respect to the length of the signal cable between the Anten-
na Unit and the Processor Unit. Adjust sweep timing at installation to prevent the fol-
lowing symptoms:

• The echo of a "straight" target (for example, pier), on the 0.25 NM range, appears
on the display as being pulled inward or pushed outward. See the figure below.

• The range of target echoes is incorrect.

1. Set the GAIN, A/C SEA and A/C RAIN controls shown below.
GAIN: 80
A/C SEA: Fully counterclockwise (OFF)
A/C RAIN: Fully counterclockwise (OFF)
2. Open the [RADAR INSTALLATION] menu, then select [ECHO ADJUSTMENT]
menu.
3. Select [TIMING ADJ VALUE] to set the value for adjustment timing manually. The
setting range is 0000 to 4095. The default settings for each radar are shown be-
low;
• Default for magnetron radar: [325]
• Default for solid state radar: [43]
4. After the adjustment is completed, set the radar to the minimum range. Confirm
that no echoes are "missing" at the center of the radar screen.If echoes are miss-
ing, do step 3 again.

 3. ADJUSTMENTS

3.4 How to Suppress Main Bang

Main bang is the clutter at the center of the screen that you typically see on the radar
display, and it may mask close-in targets. If main bang appears at the screen center,
suppress it as follows.

1. Transmit the radar on a long range and then wait ten minutes.
2. Adjust the gain to show a slight amount of noise on the display.
3. Select the 0.125 NM range, and turn off the A/C SEA and A/C RAIN controls.
4. Show the [RADAR INSTALLATION] menu, then select [ECHO ADJUSTMENT].
5. Select [MBS LEVEL], then set a value that causes the main bang to faintly disap-
pear. The setting range is 0 to 255 (default: 0).

 3. ADJUSTMENTS

[CLOSE TGT ES LEVEL]

Select the effect level of the echo stretch around own ship which is selected in
[CLOSE TGT ES MODE] among six enlarging patterns. The higher the number the
greater the amount of stretch. To disable echo stretch, select [OFF] (default).

The six enlarging patterns are shown in the table below, “Distance 1” means that the
distance is closer to the own ship, and “Distance 3” means that the distance gets far-
ther. “Distance 3” is about half of display range.

Setting
Distance 1 Distance 2 Distance 3
(Effect level pattern)
[OFF] — — —
[1] weak weak —
[2] weak weak weak
[3] Medium weak —
[4] Medium weak weak
[5] Strong Medium weak
Note: This function is NOT available on the radars using software version “50.**”.

EAV MODE
Select the method of echo average, [A] or [B].

[A]: Suppress surface reflections, set to assist in detecting other ships clearly.
[B]: Normal use (default), set to detect small targets or fishing equipments in sea clut-
ter.

Note: This function is available on the radars using software version “50.**”.

EAV FIRST SCAN LEVEL

[HIGH]: Immediately after changing the range, the echo average function (EAV) starts
in an invalid state, but shortly thereafter starts working. Therefore, immediately after
changing the range, not only targets but also unwanted echoes (suppressed by EAV)
are strongly displayed. Use this setting when there are no unwanted echoes such as
sea or rain clutters, or when unnecessary echoes can be removed by echo adjustment
functions such as STC, A/C SEA or A/C RAIN. If the echo adjustment is not adjusted
according to sea conditions, targets may be masked by unwanted echoes immediately
after changing the range (factory setting).

[LOW]: Immediately after changing the range, all echoes are displayed weakly. As the
EAV gradually starts working, target echoes are gradually strengthened, and unwant-
ed echoes are displayed weakly. For this reason, it is easy to distinguish between tar-
get echoes and unwanted echoes within a few scans after changing the range.
Immediately after changing the range, all echoes are displayed weakly, so a target
echo may be lost if the echo level of the target is weak.

Note: This function is available on the radars using software version “50.**”.
