Break in procedure of stored radar
Following procedure is recommended for “Break In” of the stored radar.
Otherwise the radar sometimes exhibits unstable transmitting operation
such as arcing at its initial operation after long period of storage and make
the operation more difficult.
1. Extend preheat time as long as possible (preferably 20 to 30
minutes).
2. Set the pulse width to the shortest one and start the operation.
When the operation in the shortest pulse is stable then go to
operation in longer pulse and repeat the similar step until the
operation reaches to the final pulse condition.
