3.5.3 [SCANNER] menu
Open the main menu then select
[RADAR INSTALLATION]
[SCANNER] to open the [SCAN-
NER] menu.
Note: [SCANNER] menu items
differ depending on the software
version, as shown in the figures to
the right.
[SECTOR BLANK1(2)]
Set area(s) where to prevent
transmission. Heading must be
properly aligned (see section 3.2)
before setting any blind sector.
For example, set the area where
an interfering object at the rear of
the antenna would produce a
dead sector (area where no echoes appear) on the display. To enter an area, enter
start bearing relative to the heading and dead sector angle. To erase the area, enter
0 for both the [START] and [ANGLE] sections. The setting range of [START] is 0° to
359° (default: 000°) and [ANGLE] is 0° to 180° (default: 000°).
Note 1: Turn off a stern blind sector when adjusting the PM gain, to display the echo
from the performance monitor properly.
Note 2: If the PM is active, these menus are NOT available on FAR-2x58 radars.
[HSC]
Select [ON] for HSC only.
Note: This menu is NOT available when the [MODEL] setting is set to [50] (see
"[MODEL]" on page 3-12).
[ANTENNA ROTATION]
This menu is available when [HSC] is set to [ON].
Note 1: When this menu appears in gray, it is not available. The antenna rotation
speed is fixed at 24 rpm.
Note 2: For 42 rpm S-band radars, the High Speed Kit (type: OP03-248, available as
an optional extra) is required.
Select [LO] for 36 rpm, [HI] for 42 rpm. [AUTO] sets the
normal rotation speed to 36 rpm and switches the rota-
tion speed to 42 rpm when the short pulse is selected
(default: [AUTO]).
[ANTENNA SWITCH]
Select [OFF] at [ANTENNA SWITCH] to prevent antenna rotation. For [EXT], set on/
off from an external device (default: [ON]).
