RADARPILOT / CHARTRADAR
In addition,
- slave monitors can be installed, which repeat the display shown by the indicator to which they are
connected.
- slave keyboards or slave trackballs can be installed. Each slave keyboard or slave trackball is
assigned to a slave monitor. For each slave keyboard/trackball, there is an electronics unit called a
keyboard switch which, by means of a single operating step, makes it possible to assign the oper-
ating functions to a slave keyboard (trackball) / slave monitor pair.
-a video buffer is used, if there is more than one slave monitor connected to an indicator.
The RF components are
-the transceiver (electronics unit), which contains the X-Band transceiver or the S-Band transceiver
(transceiver version B = bulkhead), and
-the antenna (unit), consisting of
-the antenna gearbox (X-Band or S-Band) and
-the scanner (5 ft X-Band or 8 ft X-Band scanner or 14 ft S-Band scanner).
The transceiver can also be accommodated in the antenna gearbox, so that there is no need for a
separate transceiver electronics unit (transceiver version A = antenna/mast ahead).
In addition, a unit called
-the Interface Expander may be present. When there are more than two radar indicators or more
than two transceivers installed, the switch-over between the indicators and transceivers is performed
by the Interswitch installed in the Interface Expander. If additional interfaces or interfaces having a
non-standardised format have to be implemented, the electronics which is additionally installed in the
Interface Expander performs the necessary interfacing and data distribution.
Examples of various equipment configurations are given in the following illustrations.

signals entered there are the combined reception signals of the transceivers. In the indi-
cators, these signals are used to generate the radar video signal, as well as the trigger signals and
antenna signals.
1.5 Scope of Applicability of these Operating Instructions
These operating instructions cover all of the above-mentioned variants of the RADARPILOT and CHAR-
TRADAR equipment and systems. It refers to RADARPILOT ATLAS 1000 and CHARTRADAR ATLAS
1000 systems which are approved under the software version stated on the title page.

☞ Unless the RADARPILOT or CHARTRADAR or MULTIPILOT is mentioned specifically, all state-
ments made in these Operating Instructions apply to these types of equipment.
