4 Setting the Radar Function
Subjects of this Section:
◆ Switching the radar function on
◆ Transceiver selection
◆ Defining the master/slave function
◆ Switching the radar function off (switching to stand-by)
◆ Setting the radar signal:
- Tuning the frequency (TUNE)
- Input amplification (GAIN)
- Sea clutter suppression (SEA)
- Rain clutter suppression (RAIN)
- Clean sweep function
- Interference rejection (IR)
-Pulse length
◆ Selection of antenna revolution rate
◆ Suppression of synthetics and video
◆ Special radar-settings (HSC, SART detection, RACON identification)
4.1 Radar Function On/Off, Interswitch Functions, Master/Slave Switch-Over
On any radar indicator, any transceiver of the system can be switched to act as the master. On the
master indicator, the radar is operated completely, i.e. both the transmitter side and the receiver side.
Any radar indicator can also be switched to act as a slave of any transceiver that is operating. On the
slave indicator, most of the functions on the reception side can be set independently of the master
1)
.
Switch-On of Radar Operation
DANGER:
At the instant of switch-on of the radar function, the antenna begins to
rotate and the emission of high frequency radiation
2)
is started. In the
case of multiple installations, it can also happen that, instead of the
expected antenna, a different one begins to rotate. Therefore, it must be
ensured beforehand that the antennas can rotate freely and that there is
nobody present close to the antenna turning circles.
The radar transceiver selected last is switched to radar operation by
clicking into the transceiver area and then clicking on the transceiver
designation that is displayed.
If the selected transceiver was already running in radar operation
mode, the result is that the indicator being operated becomes the
slave indicator.
3)
1)
Tuning, sea clutter suppression, pulse length (and also the antenna revolution rate) are defined only on the master indicator.
2)
For the danger posed by high frequency radiation, see page 4.
3)
A slave indicator is marked as such by the entry SLAVE behind the TUNE area.
