ASSOCIATION
When an AIS target and a tracked target of TT (ARPA) are the same target, it is automatically
associated to a single target.
Select priority of the association with either AIS or TT (ARPA).
If the low-speed ship is associated and displayed with TT priority, then HDG may be unstable. So, the
display with AIS priority is recommendable.
1 Press MENU key to display “Menu”.
Select [TARGET] => [ASSOCIATION] => [ASSOCIATION], and press ENT key after selecting the
setup value.
OFF: Association is turned off.
TT: Symbols of both TT (ARPA) and AIS are associated to TT (ARPA). However when the target of

[ASSOCIATION] changes priority of the association of all targets while [CHG SELECTED TGT]
changes priority of the association for selected target only.
[SETTING] designates conditional items of association among RNG, CRS, SPD, SPD LIM, TIME
REPRIEVE and RATIO.
RNG: It designates the range to determine association. (0.001NM to 1.000NM)
CRS: It designates the course to determine association. (10.0
°
to 60.0
°
)
SPD: It designates the speed difference to determine association. (1.0kn to 20.0kn)
SPD LIM: It designates the minimum speed to determine association. (1.0kn to 10.0kn)
TIME REPRIEVE: It designates the time to determine association. (1sec to 99sec)
