The unit has an alarm function to protect your vessel from collisions. If other vessels, islands, or other
obstructions come into the preset alarm zone, the function alerts you with an alarm. You can set the desired
range and bearing for up to two alarm zones. While the alarm function is activated, the power save function turns
off the LCD screen until an alarm is given, to conserve the power.

5 THE SIMPLIFIED ARPA OPERATION

The simplified Automatic Radar Plotting Aids (ARPA) function is designed to help prevent a collision with other
vessels or landmasses.
The radar automatically acquires and plots other vessels and landmasses that are in the set watch area. It
automatically calculates the closest point of approach (CPA), and the time to closest point of approach (TCPA)
limit of your vessel and the targets, and sounds an alarm if there is a danger of colliding with them.

ARPA Features
••Only targets in the 0.25 to 16 NM range that are displayed with a high luminosity (strong return signal) can be
selected as ARPA targets.
• Up to 10 targets can be acquired and plotted on the screen, including up to 5 automatically acquired targets
(when the Auto Acquire function (p.25) is turned ON in the Menu screen).
• Plot positions are identified by an approved symbol mark (p. 24) and associated plot number.
• The target and vector line will move across the screen at the rate and direction defined by the calculated true or
relative course and speed.
• The vector line is displayed on the target.

■■ARPA operation
DDOperation
Select a target on the screen that you want to track.

1. Move the cross-line cursor onto a desired target.


2. Push [ACQ]/[ ] to set the target for tracking.
••A dotted circle symbol is displayed on the cursor.
••After 1 minute progressing time has passed, the circle
changes to a solid circle with a dotted vector line, the
number of the target is displayed beside the icon, and
tracking operation starts.
••When the target disappears, a red cross blinks on the Target
target, and then the mark disappears after 1 minute.
••When a target advances within the CPA and TCPA
limits, the mark changes its color to red, blinks, and
sounds an alarm. To cancel the alarm, push [CLEAR]/
[ ].
3. To display a target information, move the cross- ARPA

9 BASIC RADAR THEORY

Radar uses a form of electromagnetic radiation that can be reflected off a large vessel, bridge, or other metal
objects that are in proximity. Because of this property, unwanted reflections off some objects may cause false
echoes to appear on the screen where in fact no actual targets exist. Operators should be familiar with the effect
of this phenomena. In some cases, echoes can be reduced.

■■Sidelobe echoes
Radiation can escape on each side of the beam Sidelobe echoes usually occur at short ranges and as
inside the sidelobes. If a target reflects this radiation, a result of large (strongly reflective) targets. They can
