Radar menu Chapter 3-1 3. Radar operation The CX34/44/54 combines chart plotting with radar navigation. For first time users of Radar, we have included a basic description of the radar presentation with a basic understanding of how the controls affect the radar’s operation and display. The following paragraphs describe the control settings used for initial display setup, turn-on procedure, inclement weather operation and finally the turn off procedure. Radar controls are described in chapter 3.2. 3.
Chapter 3-2 Radar menu 3.1.1 Orientation In the Head Up mode, the heading line always appears on the screen at 0° relative according to the on-screen bearing scale, and is coincident with the antenna beam passing the ship’s bow. Thus the top of the displayed picture represents the direction in which the ship is heading. All targets appearing on the display are “Relative” to own ship’s position and heading.
Radar menu Chapter 3-3 other targets which are underway will also be moving on the display screen at their True course and True speed. All motion seen on the True motion display is “TRUE” (meaning motion over the ground). 3.1.3 Environmental effects The effects of weather and water surface conditions generally act to reduce the ability of radar to detect targets. Weather effects reduce the long range at which targets can be detected.
Chapter 3-4 Radar menu entire length of cable does not appear on the screen, only a point on the cable, and that point keeps changing giving the illusion of a moving target. 3.1.4 Navigational echoes Echoes displayed on the radar screen may be large or small, bright or faint, depending on the size and shape of the object and its angle relative to your radar antenna.
Radar menu Chapter 3-5 3.1.6 Sea return Not all radar echoes are produced by hard navigation items such as boats, buoys and land. Some radar echoes may be received from irregularities on the surface of the water, particularly at close range by breaking wave crests, particularly in windy weather and in heavy seas. These echoes appear on the radar screen on the short range scales as multiple small echoes next to own ship.
Chapter 3-6 Radar menu alert for objects in these blind sectors. The DX45 and DX60 scanners have an advanced blind sector function where up to two sectors can be defined and cover a total of 90°. The sectors will be clearly marked on the screen and in order to eliminate ghost echoes (false reflecting targets), there will be no radar signals transmitted into the defined sector(s). 3.1.9 Side lobes Echoes on the radar screen are not always the direct returns to the radar antenna.
Radar menu Chapter 3-7 3.1.11 False echoes Occasionally, echoes may appear on the screen at positions where there is no actual target. This type of target is called a False Echo. Sometimes they are known as Ghost Images, Indirect Echoes or Multiple Echoes depending on how they are generated. Ghost images usually have the appearance of true echoes, but, in general, they are intermittent and poorly defined.
Chapter 3-8 Radar menu 3.2 Radar menu The Golden Rule! Today’s radars are packed full of neat features designed to make your cruising more enjoyable and safer. Use these features when you can, but remember the old axiom KISS (keep it simple sailor). If a target shows on the display, there most likely is something there. If there are no targets shown on your display, it doesn’t guarantee there are no other objects around. Maintain a good visual watch, proceed at a safe speed and enjoy your boating.
Radar menu Chapter 3-9 3.2.1 Shortcut to the pages in the radar-series The RADAR function is one of the main functions in the CX34/44/54. Each page under the [RADAR] key will include a window representing the radar function. It is not possible to exchange main function displays with a new display. Refer to section 2.1, 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 for further information on the display and page system.
Chapter 3-10 Radar menu 3.2.3 Start transmission Normally, when starting the transmission, it will take approx. two minutes for the antenna to warm up and be ready for transmission. For initial start-up and after long storage, see below.

Radar menu Chapter 3-13 RM (Relative Motion): The ship will stay in the center of the screen or at an offset position and targets will appear relative to own ship’s position. If receiving the alarm: “Heading missing” or “Position missing” the system will change to Head-Up in Relative Motion after 60 seconds and at the same time inform of “Changing to HeadUp” in a pop-up window. 0.50nm indicates the displayed range in the radar picture. Power off indicates that the radar function is not active.
Chapter 3-14 Radar menu return to AUTO mode by pressing [CLR]. Press [CLR] to toggle between HBR (Harbor) and AUTO mode. Sea control – is used on the shorter ranges to suppress the effects of sea clutter close to own ship by reducing the nearby gain level. It can effectively reduce the strength of the mass of random echoes received from nearby sea clutter for up to approx. 1 to 2 nm depending on wave and sea conditions.
Radar menu Chapter 3-15 after-glow or wake behind the moving targets or own ship. If the range scale is changed, the trails are cleared and new trails will be drawn on the screen. The trails are drawn for anything that moves on the screen, including sea gulls, sea clutter, buoys, and shoreline. Own trail – toggle between OFF and ON. This function will require that ‘Trails’ (above) is activated and mode of orientation is TM. RR = RangeRings – toggle between # *.** (as display example), *.
Chapter 3-16 Radar menu The guard zone is not available in the secondary radar display in Dual Radar mode. IR (Interference Rejection) – will reduce false echoes from other radars nearby, see section 3.1.10. Stretch – toggle between AUTO, ON, OFF. AUTO (default) - small targets are enhanced at ranges above 3 nm. ON - all targets will be enhanced. OFF - all targets will remain unchanged. Rpm – will determine the scanner rotation (full screen presentation).

Chapter 5-2 Echo menu the reception of the reflected sound wave, the depth to the object can be determined. The entire process begins in the display unit. Transmitter power is sent to the transducer as a short pulse of electrical energy. The electrical signal produced by the transmitter is converted into an ultrasonic signal by the transducer and transmitted into the water.

The echo setup in this chapter are the most common settings for adjusting the presentation of the high or low frequency echo picture, and can be accessed by a single keystroke.

For instance, as your boat moves into deeper waters, the system will automatically switch to a deeper range, always keeping the displayed bottom in the lower half of the display. Manual range allows the operator to set the range displayed on the screen. Gain – is another way of saying “sensitivity”, or possibly “volume”.
Echo menu Chapter 5-9 echoes received and only reflect on the screen what is received from both echoes, which will give a more uncluttered recording. Signal threshold – can be set to ON to eliminate the appearance of unwanted noise. The threshold level is automatic and the feature should be used with caution, as it may eliminate small fish and small unidentified objects on the screen.
Chapter 5-10 Echo menu 5.8 How the echosounder works When the CX34/44/54 is turned on, a transmitter begins to send electrical pulses to the transducer. The ceramic resonators in the transducer has a special property which enables it to change dimensions slightly when a varying voltage is applied. The voltage is thus converted to mechanical vibrations (sound waves) which are then transmitted down through the water. See Fig. 1. Fig. 1 Transmitted ‘ping’ from the transmitter/receiver.
Echo menu Chapter 5-11 5.9 Transducer beamwidth The transducer mounted to the hull of your vessel serves as both a ‘speaker’ when transmitting, and as a ‘microphone’ when the echosounder is receiving. Similar to the way a flashlight focuses light, most of the sound from your transducer is focused downwards with a smaller amount going out to the sides. The amount of focusing of the sound beam is expressed as a ‘beamwidth’.
Chapter 5-12 Echo menu 5.10 Effects of the vessel’s speed The presentation of fish on the CX34/44/54 depends directly on the vessel’s speed, as well as on the depth of the fish. When the vessel is at rest, the echo traces will appear stretched and flattened. As the vessel’s speed becomes greater, the echo traces will become shorter and more arched. The reason for this change in appearance is that as the vessel speed increases, fewer number of sound ‘pings’ strike each fish.
