for up to two alarm zones. While the alarm function is activated, the power save function turns OFF the LCD screen
until an alarm is given, to conserve the power.

6 ATA OPERATION

■■ATA (Automatic Tracking Aid)


By automatically tracking the target chosen with the cursor key, the closest point of approach (CPA) and the time
to closest point of approach (TCPA) limit of your vessel and a target are calculated.
ATA function is designed to sound an alarm when the CPA and TCPA fall below a set value (the approach watch
area).
Only targets in the 0.25 to 16 NM range that are displayed with a high luminosity (strong return signal) can be
selected as ATA targets.
• A maximum of 10 targets can be plotted on the screen.
• Plot positions are identified by an approved symbol mark (p. 33) and associated plot number.
• The target and vector line will move across the screen at the rate and direction defined by the calculated true
or relative course and speed.
• The vector line is displayed on the target.

AIS OPERATION 7
■■AIS (Automatic Identification System)
AIS is an acronym for “Automatic Identification System.”
An AIS transponder is a short range data radio unit, used primarily for collision-risk management and navigation
safety. It automatically transmits and receives vessel information such as the vessel name, MMSI code, vessel
type, position data, speed, course, destination and more. Information is exchanged among the vessels and/or
base stations on the VHF maritime mobile band. The information helps to identify other nearby vessels or stations
by displaying the received data on the radar screen.

8 BASIC RADAR THEORY

Radar uses a form of electromagnetic radiation that can be reflected off a large vessel, bridge, or other metal ob-
jects that are in proximity. Because of this property, unwanted reflections off some objects may cause false echoes
to appear on the screen where in fact no actual targets exist. Operators should be familiar with the effect of this
phenomena. In some cases, echoes can be reduced.

■■Sidelobe echoes
Radiation can escape on each side of the beam inside Sidelobe echoes usually occur at short ranges and
