1.2 Turning the Remote Display 1.5 Operation Conventions  
On/Off  
The main radar (Model 1712 or 1622) must  
be powered and transmitting to display the  
radar picture on the remote display. If the  
main radar is off, in standby, or there is  
antenna trouble, the remote display shows  
the indications HD-SIG-MISS and BP-SIG-  
MISS.  
The [POWER] key turns the remote display  
on/off.  
1.3 TX Key  
The [TX] key functions to toggle the radar  
picture and stand-by condition. Note that  
the remote display cannot control the  
transmit and standby functions of the radar.  
RANGE, GAIN and STC controls  
The RANGE, GAIN and STC controls are  
commonly set. (Other controls may be  
independently set.) That is, when one of  
those controls is adjusted, the main radar  
or remote display receiving the command  
is automatically set accordingly. STC and  
GAIN adjustment methods (automatic  
and manual) are also commonly  
The main radar and remote display do not  
operate jointly unless a key among RANGE,

1.8 Receiver Sensitivity  
The [GAIN] key adjusts the sensitivity of the  
receiver. It works in precisely the same  
manner as the volume control of a  
broadcast receiver, amplifying the signals  
received.  
3. Press or to set level desired. 61  
levels are available.  
Note:The dialog boxes for adjustment of  
sensitivity are automatically erased  
when there is no Omnipad operation  
for 10 seconds. To erase them  
quicker, press the [GAIN] key after  
completing the setting.  
You can adjust the sensitivity manually, or  
let the unit do it automatically. In either case  
the proper setting is such that the  
background noise is just visible on the  
screen. For manual adjustment, adjust the  
sensitivity on the highest range since the  
background noise is clearer on that range.  
1.9 Suppressing Sea Clutter  
In rough weather, returns from the sea  
surface are received over several miles  
around own ship and mask nearby targets.  
This situation can be improved by properly  
using the [STC] key.  
If you set up for too little sensitivity, weak  
echoes may be missed. On the other hand  
excessive sensitivity yields too much  
background noise; weak targets may be  
missed because of the poor contrast  
between desired echoes and the  
If the STC setting is too low, targets will be  
hidden in the clutter, while if it is set too high,  
both sea clutter and targets will disappear  
from the display. In most cases adjust the  
key until clutter has disappeared to leeward,  
but a little is still visible windward.  
background noise on the display.

A common mistake is too over-adjust the  
[STC] key so that the surface clutter is  
completely removed. By setting up for  
maximum STC effect, you will see how  
dangerous this can be; a dark zone will be  
created near the center of the screen,  
causing a loss of close-in targets. This dark  
zone is even more dangerous if the  
sensitivity has not been properly adjusted.  
Always leave a little surface clutter visible  
on the screen. If no clutter is observed (on  
very calm waters), choose lowest STC  
setting.

1.11 Range Rings  
1.14 Measuring the Range  
The range rings are the concentric circles  
around own ship and they provide an  
estimate of target range. The selected  
range scale automatically determines the  
number of rings and their interval is  
displayed at the upper-left-hand corner on  
the screen.  
The bearing to a target can be measured by  
the range rings, by the cursor (see  
paragraph 1.12) and by the VRM (Variable  
Range Marker).  
Measuring range by the range rings  
Count the number of rings between the  
center of the display and the target. Check  
the range ring interval at the top left-hand  
corner of the screen and judge the distance  
of the echo from the inner edge of the  
nearest ring.  
To turn the range rings on or off, press the  
[EBL] and [VRM] keys together.  
1.12 Cursor  
Measuring range by the VRM  
The cursor is always displayed and  
functions to measure the range and bearing  
to a target. Operate the Omnipad to place  
the cursor on the inside edge of the target  
for range measurement or the center of the  
target for bearing measurement. The range  
and bearing to the cursor appear at the  
bottom right-hand corner on the display.  
1. Press the [VRM] key to turn on the VRM.  
2. Within 10 seconds after turning on the  
VRM, that is, while "VRM" is highlighted  
at the bottom left-hand corner on the  
screen, press (increase radius) or  
(decrease radius) to place the VRM on  
the inside edge of the target.

1.21 Guard Alarm Zone  
The guard alarm allows the operator to set  
the desired range and bearing for a guard  
zone. When ships, islands, landmasses, etc.  
violate the guard zone the offending target  
flashes and an aural alarm sounds to call  
the operator’s attention. The alarm is  
triggered against targets entering or exiting  
the guard zone depending on guard zone  
type as below.  
Figure 1-17 Target trails  
Starting target trail  
Press the [TRAIL] key to start the echo trail  
function. "TRAIL" and the target trail time  
appear at the top right-hand corner on the  
screen, and then afterglow starts extending  
from all targets. When the internal clock  
counts up to the trail time selected, the  
oldest portions of trails are erased so only  
the latest trail, equal in length to the trail  
time selected, is shown. For continuous  
trails the maximum trail time is 99 minutes  
and 59 seconds, at which point all trails are  
erased and then restarted.  
CAUTION  
The alarm should not be relied upon as the  
sole means for detecting possible collision  
situations.  
*

STC, FTC and GAIN controls should be  
properly adjusted to be sure the alarm  
system does not overlook target echoes  
.
How guard zone type is determined  
Canceling target trail  
After the guard zone is set, the radar starts  
searching for targets inside the guard zone  
for about 8 to 12 seconds. The results of the  
search are shown at the top right-hand  
corner of the display as “G (IN)” or “G  
(OUT).”  
Press the [TRAIL] key to erase target trails  
and target trail indications.

1.23 Echo Stretch  
1.24 Navigation Data  
On long ranges target echoes tend to shrink  
in the range direction, making them difficult  
to see. On short and medium ranges such  
as 1.5, 3 and 6 nm range scales, the same  
sized targets get smaller on screen as they  
approach own ship. To enhance target  
video, use the echo stretch feature.  
With navigation data input in NMEA 0183  
format (IEC 61162-1), navigation data can  
be displayed at the screen bottom.  
Navigation data includes position, course,  
speed, and range and bearing to destination  
waypoint (if set on navaid). A waypoint is  
shown on the remote display by a dashed  
ring connected to the screen center (own  
position) by a dashed line.

INSTALLATION  
3.  
Make sure you allow enough clearance  
both to get to the connectors behind the  
unit and to allow you to get your hands in  
on both sides to loosen or tighten the  
mounting knobs.  
3.1 Display Unit Installation  
Mounting considerations  
The display unit can be mounted on a  
desktop, the overhead, or flush mounted in  
a panel. See the next page for mounting  
dimensions.  
Leave at least a foot or so of "service  
loop" in cables behind the unit for  
servicing or easy removal of the  
connectors.  
When selecting a mounting location for the  
display unit keep in mind the following  
points.  
Removing the cover  
While pressing the center of the cover with  
your thumbs as illustrated, pull the cover  
towards you to remove it.  
Locate the display unit in a position where  
you can view and operate it conveniently.  
The orientation of the display unit should  
be so that its screen is viewed while the  
operator is facing in the direction of the  
bow. This makes determination of your  
position much easier.  
The display unit is designed and  
constructed to be splashproof, thus it can  
be installed outdoors. If it is to be installed  
outdoors, we recommend installing it an  
enclosed cabinet, for maximum protection  
against the marine environment.  
Desktop, overhead mounting  
procedure  
Even though the picture is quite legible  
even in bright sunlight, keep the display  
unit out of direct sunlight or at least  
shaded because of heat that can build up  
inside the cabinet.  
1. Fix the hanger to the mounting location  
with four tapping screws (supplied).  
2. Attach the anti-vibration pads to the  
hanger as shown in the figure on the  
next page.  
3. Fit the knob bolts to the display unit.  
4. Cover the unused bolt holes with the  
dummy films (supplied).  
5. Set the display unit to the hanger.  
6. Tighten the knob bolts securely.  
The temperature and humidity of the  
mounting location should be stable and  
moderate. No LCD can provide adequate  
contrast if the ambient temperature is too  
low or too high.  
The compass safe distance of 0.90  
meters (standard compass) and 0.60  
meters (steering compass) should be  
observed to prevent deviation of the  
magnetic compass.

3.2 Wiring  
Connection of radar  
1. Unfasten screws and three connector nuts (NMEA, POWER, DJ-1) from the rear cover of  
the radar to detach it.  
2. Place the rear cover on a workbench, out side up.  
3. Using a slotted-head screwdriver and hammer, punch out the “hole cover” from the  
location shown in Figure 3-2. Remove burrs from the hole with a fine file or sandpaper.  
4. Insert MJ connector side of the MJ-XH connector (supplied) in the hole made at step 3  
and fasten it with the connector nut (torque: 0.75-0.78 Nm). Tighten the connector nut by  
hand until you feel slight resistance and then turn it an additional 45° with a box wrench.  
Note: Be sure the MJ-XH connector is free of foreign material before attaching it.  
Watertight integrity cannot be guaranteed if foreign material (dust, etc.) is on the  
connector when it is assembled.  
5. Plug in the XH connector of the MJ-XH connector into J7 on the DU Board.  
6. Insert NMEA, POWER and DJ-1 connectors. Tighten connector nut by hand until you feel  
slight resistance and then turn it an additional 90° (NMEA and POWER) or 45° (DJ-1)  
with a box wrench.  
7. Close the rear cover by using screws (3X12) in the installation materials. (Be sure the  
gasket is correctly positioned and there is no foreign material in the unit before closing  
the cover.)  
8. Connect signal cable between connector DJ-1 on the remote display and the MJ  
connector (attached at step 4) on the radar.  
9. Seal hole with silicone sealant or putty for waterproofing.
