2.5.6 Select SECTOR BLANKING (ON/OFF)

SECTOR BLANKING is one of the ship−specific settings to be made at

commissioning.

The setting normally depends on the ship’s superstructure (e.g. cranes,

chimneys etc.), from which strong reflection effects can be expected.

These effects have a negative impact on the quality of the radar video.

To counteract this, the relevant sectors can be blanked out in the radar video.

Procedure: (see Figure: 2−79)

Step 1 Open the FUNC menu

Step 2 The default setting for SECTOR BLANKING is ON.

Pressing the softkey restores the blanked sector to the

radar video.

Pressing the softkey again blanks the sector again.
