3.5 Range Rings, Grid
Fixed range rings or a map grid can be displayed. Range rings are concentric circles with the reference
position as their centre, and are situated at equal distances from one another.
Selection between Range Rings and Map Grid
Click into the RANGE RINGS / GRID field by means of the
MORE key, and then (with the DO key) click on RANGE RINGS
or GRID.
Switching the Range Rings or Grid On and Off
Clicking of the RANGE RINGS /GRID area switches the display
on and off.
☞ The distance between the range rings is displayed in the
RANGE RINGS area.
3.6 Own Ship Symbols and Target Symbols, Vectors, Past Position Plots
Own Ship Symbol
The own ship symbol consists of two concentric circles . In the
smaller display ranges up to and including 1.5 NM, the circles are
replaced by an own ship contour, whose length and width are true
to scale.
The display of the own ship symbol can be switched off, see page
34.
The own ship symbol is supplemented by the following elements:.
- Heading line: It is the extension of the ship’s longitudinal axis
in the ahead direction and extends to the edge of the PPI. The
heading line is displayed at all times.
The origin of the heading line is the reference position for
bearings
1)
.
- Speed vector: The direction of the vector corresponds to the
existing course of own ship. The length corresponds to the
existing speed of own ship. Together with the speed vectors of
the tracked radar targets, the display of the speed vector can be
switched on and off, and the time represented by the displayed
vectors can be specified. Furthermore, it can be seen from the
vector symbol of own ship whether the vector is relative to the
sea (Water Track, WT = one arrow-head) or relative to the
bottom (Bottom Track, BT = two arrow-heads).
- Past position plot (in the case of the ARPA radar): The past
position plot corresponds to the past movement of own ship. On
it, there are four time markers, whose distance apart in time can

For the reference position for bearings, see page 60.
