TX
The trigger pulse from the PROCESSOR Board is delivered to the MODULATOR Board,
oscillates the magnetron, and then radar wave is emitted from the radiator.

RX
The 9.4 GHz echo signal received by the antenna is converted to 60 MHz signal by the MIC,
amplified by IF Amp, and fed to the PROCESSOR Board as a video signal. It is digitally
processed and then displayed on the CRT.

Refer to the block diagram on page 2-3.
Power Supply Circuit (PTU-9205)
The constant voltage generator Q1 is in operation even when power switch is off, if ship's mains
is supplied. The power supply circuit is basically consists of a main inverter and a sub inverter.
The main inverter derives the isolated line voltages +12 V/ANT+12 V and -12 V/ANT -12 V
from the main input. The sub inverter derives +5 V and +32 V from +12 V output of the main
inverter.

Main inverter

The PWR switch becomes "open" when it is set to on position.

When the PWR switch is pressed, about 9 V is input via PWR line (J1 #13), Q2 is on, and
DC+10 V is applied to the PWM.
When power is supplied to the PWM controller, it starts operation and alternately turns on and
off two switching FETs Q3/Q4 connected to the primary widing of T1. The resultant AC volt-
age obtained on the secondary windings are rectified and smoothed to +12 V and -12 V, and
delivered to various circuits in the equipment. The voltage taken from the +12 V line is fed
back to the PWM controller through the VR1 to maintain the +12 V output constant.

Sub inverter

U5 and the associated circuit form a PWM switching regulator for +5 V and +32 V. The voltage
taken from +5 V line is fed back to U5 through R37 resistance to maintain the +5 V output
constant.

Protectors

Protection of power supply circuit is achieved by stopping the drive signals to the switching
FETs Q3/4.
Overload on +5 V and + 32 V line is detected by U6. Overload on +12 V (MOTOR + ) line is
detected by U7. When the +5 V and + 32 V line is reduced by a heavy load, U6 or U7 becomes
conductive and consequently disables the PWM controller through Q6, Q7 and Q8. Overcurrent
on the main input line is detected by R13, R14 and R15. The voltage drop across Q6, Q7 and Q8
becomes large when the inverter is overload. Overcurrent detector U3 disables PWM inverter
U2 when the voltage drop exceeds a certain level.
Overvoltage of mains input is detected by the U1. When the input voltage exceeds 41.6 V, the
U1 becomes active and disables PWM controller U2.

Scanner motor power (ANT+12 V/-12 V)

+12 V and -12 V (ANT +12 V/ANT -12 V) are used to drive 24 V scanner motor.
The power to the motor is turned on/off by the relay (K1) on the POWER SUPPLY Board. The
relay control signal from the SPU Board is supplied to Q52 and Q53 on the POWER SUPPLY
Board. Pressing the TX key changes the ANT SW signal state from 5 V to 0 V, and K1 is on to
supply + 12 V.

AUTOMATIC TUNING
There are two types of automatic tuning: peak search and short search. The tuning voltage
differs from model to model.
MODEL 1832: 0 V to 13 V
MODEL 1932/1942 : 5 V to 28 V

Peak search: Tuning voltage (TUNING), point A in the figure below, is searched in the
tuning voltage range 0 V to 13 V (5 V to 28 V). Tuning indicator voltage (TUN-
ING IND) is maximum at point A.
Search conditions: After initial tuning adjustment.
Search time: 3 sec approx

Short search: Maximum tuning indicator voltage A is searched in the tuning voltage range of
A ± 2.5 V.
Search conditions:
1) After initial tuning adjustment.
2) When tuning method is switched from manual to automatic.
3) When the radar is switched from ST-BY to TX.
4) When a range where pulselength is changed from short to middle and
from middle to long is selected.
Tracking: After short search, tracking takes place.
Tracking voltage: 0 V to 13 V (MODEL 1832), 0 V to 32 V (MODEL 1932/1942)

TUNING INDICATOR
After tuning adjustment, peak TUNING IND voltages, ① , ➁ and ➂ in the figure on page 2-5
are stored on to E2PROM.
The automatic and manual tuning point A is also memorized. Using these data, the tuning
indicator extends more than 80 % on ALL TX pulses.
Note that the extension on short pulse is shorter than on long pulse. The indication becomes
shorter with the magnetron deteriorated.

MANUAL TUNING
The manual tuning voltage changes from 1 to 12 V on M 1832, and 5 to 32 V on M 1932/1942
at the steps of about 0.1 V.
Manual Tuning is carried out by using omnipad: pressing "Left" side decreases TUNING CONT
voltage, pressing "Right" side increases.
The TUNING CONT voltage displayed on the screen differs by about ± 1 V from the measured
voltage at J104 #10. Manual Tuning and tuning adjustment are required when automatic tuning
is abnormal (that is, low sensitivity).

TUNING CONT. Operation (from power-on to stand-by)

A square wave is automatically output as a TUNING CONT signal during stand-by just after
power-on. The coarse and fine tuning circuit is normal if the wave is correctly output.

The video adjustment is carried out through the Tune/video adjustment menu in the installation
setup menu.
The following describes the outline of the adjustment.
q Main Bang suppression Level (MBS L) is set to 0.
w EEPOT, U14 is set to minimum. (EEPOT initialization with "L" level of U14 #7)
e EEPOT gets into step-up mode (U14 #2 is H.) to measure output video level at each step.
The step is changed by pulses applied to U14 #1. The step where the output level is 2.2 V is
memorized.
r EEPOT gets into step-down mode (U14 #2 is L) to find and stores the step number where
the output level is 2.2 V.
t Averaging the step numbers found in steps 3 and 4 above, and saving onto eepot. The stored
value is not erased when power is turned off.
y MBS L is reset to the value previously used.

Heading
Heading data in AD format or NMEA format HEADING DATA (HDT, HDG, HDM, VHW)
can be input from J104 (HDG). The radar determines whether AD format heading data is nor-
mal or not by checking CLK(J104 #14, #15) data. If CLK data is normal but the DATA line is
abnormal, the heading is continuously shown as 000.0.
When the CLK line is abnormal the heading is continuously shown as ***.*. (Note that the
same indication appears when noise in the CLK line causes deflection of heading data which is
higher than 360.0˚.)
The radar can read AD format data in 25 msec or 200 msec intervals. However, we recommend
that 25 msec be used. The ideal input interval for NMEA 0183 data is 25 msec. When the radar
is connected with the equipment whose input interval is 1 sec, heading data is update too slowly,
which results in delayed rotation of the picture when the ship turns.

Automatic switching of NAV data (NMEA 0183)

NAV data from NAV data ports, J104 (#3, #4) and J104 (#5, #6), are alternately selected by the
CPU in the following manner.
Two inputs: Data from J104 (#3, #4) and J104 (#5, #6) are automatically switched every five
seconds.
One input J104 (#3, #4): For three minutes after the power is turned on the data from J104 (#3,
#4) and J104 (#5, #6) is automatically switched every five seconds to determine which port is
inputting NAV data. When J104 (#3, #4) alone is inputting NAV data, data is automatically
switched at J104 (#3, #4) after 25 seconds and after 5 seconds at J104 (#5, #6).

Turning on/off antenna rotation
The SPU board controls antenna rotation. In normal operation, the antenna rotates during the

Verification of ARP connection

At every power-up, SPU board checks whether ARP-10 is connected or not.
Data line between SPU and ARP boards is used for this check.
If a target cannot be acquired and "ARP" line is missed in the self test display, the data line must
be checked. When CR1 on the ARP board lights, the ARP board may be defective.

1) ARP-10 dose not require QV echo adjustment at installation, unlike other existing ARPs.
No check point for QV echo is provided. The ARP display can be turned on/off thru the ARP
menu. The ARP data appears even when ship's speed and gyro data are not supplied

2) The ARP board is checked whether it is installed or not at every power-on, using the
communication line between SPU and ARP boards.
When the ARP display is on thru the menu and the ARP board is not fitted, the message
" ARP is not connected" appears.
3) When the target is not acquired, carry out the self test at TX condition.
TRIGGER/VIDEO/BP/HD must be OK, and FE-DATA 1/DATA 2 must vary depending on
the gain setting. The lower the gain setting, the smaller the FE DATA value. The FE DATA
must not exceed 1000 with the maximum gain setting.

4) The program is stored on the flash ROM, not PROM, so a program writter MT-08 or PC is
required for updating the program.

Target acquisition by Auto plotter
Conditions for manual acquisition
1) Within 9 scans, the target must be detected near the cursor position.
2) Target echo must be smaller than land echo (800 m or less in the radial or circumferential
direction) at the front end processor.
3) Target must be within acquisition area: 0.1 to 16 nm.
4) The number of acquired targets is not as many as 10, including the target manually
acquired.
5) No signal error (TRIG, HD, BP, VIDEO, GYRO) shall be detected.

Conditions for automatical acquisition

1) The target must be detected for five consecutive scans within the automatical acquisition
area.
2) Target echo must be smaller than land echo ( 800 m or more in the radial or circumferential
direction) at the front end processor.
3) Target must be within acquisition area: 2.0 to 2.5 nm and 45 ˚ each side of heading line.
4) The number of acquired targets is not as many as 10, including the target automatically
acquired.
5) No signal error (TRIG, HD, BP, VIDEO, GYRO) shall be detected.

Automatic tracking
1) A tracking target is judged as a lost target when no return is received for nine consecutive
sweeps. When the system detects a loss of a tracking target, the target symbol becomes a
flashing diamond.
2) A lost target will be reacquired and tracked when acquisition condition again becomes
satisfactory.
3) Automatic tracking is discontinued when the target moves out of the acquisition range (less
than 0.1 nm or greater than 16 nm).

Target discrimination
A target measuring about 800 m or more in the radial or circumferential direction is regarded as
a landmass and not acquired or tracked. Echoes smaller than about 800 m are regarded as true
target.

The following description is for reference only.
As a general rule of thumb, the radar requires better noise figure (NF) and better dynamic
range. Both factors, however, are reciprocal. The NF affects long range performance, while the
dynamic range dose short range performance.
To improve noise figure, amplifier and MBS circuit into the MIC, RU-9360.

Modulator

PRINCIPLE OF FET SWITCHING MODULATOR

High voltage is charged into C through R while the magnetron is inactive. When the trigger is
applied to the power MOS-FET, the FET turns on and the high voltage appears at the primary
winding of the pulse transformer. This transformer boots the voltage, which makes the magne-
tron oscillate.
One advantage of this method is that the magnetron oscillates only when the FET is conducive,
that is the transmission pulsewidth can be changed by the TX trigger pulsewidth. Therefore,
parts such as relay and coil can be eliminated.

Modulator section simple block diagram

MODULATOR BOARD MD-7918

The main function of the modulator section is to produce high voltage pulses to drive the mag-
netron. To produce these pulses, the MODULATOR Board has a modulator trigger circuit,
modulator pulse generator and booster pulse transformer.
The modulator trigger circuit consists of U805 and associated components. This circuit gener-
ates the pulses which cause modulation FETs Q805, Q806 to conduct. The pulses are produced
when the TX TRIG pulses from the display unit is received and U805 conducts. The voltage of
the pulses is raised at pulse transformer T802 until it is 3.5 kV. This circuit adjusts the electrical
current flowing into the magnetron so it is 3 A.
The MODULATOR Board also contains the TX high voltage circuit and the magnetron heater
circuit. The TX high voltage circuit charges capacitors with 300 V high voltage produced at the
primary windings of T801 and discharges them once the TX TRIG pulse is received. The mag-
netron heater circuit produces stable +7.5 V.

WARNING

IMPORTANT!
SAFETY INFORMATION
Be sure to read all the safety information which
follows before perfoming any adjustment.

Hazardous Voltage
This equipment uses high voltage electricity which can SHOCK, BURN or cause DEATH
Always make sure the electrical power is turned off before attempting to change a component
or inspecting the inside of the equipment. A residual charge may exist in capacitors, even with
the equipment turned off. Always short all supply lines to the chassis with an insulated screw-
driver or a similar tool before touching the circuit.

Working on the Scanner Unit Mast

Work on the scanner unit mast is dangerous, and doubly so if the proper precautions are not
taken.
1. Post an appropriate warning sign near the display unit to indicate that work on the scanner
unit is being performed, to prevent accidental application of the power to the scanner unit.
2. Wear a safety helmet and always be aware of where the scanner radiator is.

 CHAPTER 4. MAINTENANCE

4.1 Remarks on Replacement of Major Parts

Turn off the power before replacing any parts
Do not touch the magnetron while the radar is transmitting. Sufficient high voltage exists at the
magnetron to cause death.

MAGNETRON

The magnetron emits a strong magnetic field. For this reason, remove wrist watch before per-
forming the replacement and use a non-magnetic screwdriver to dismount the magnetron. The
estimated life of the magnetron is 2000 hours, (including time in stand-by), however actual life
depends on usage.
1. Turn off the power.
2. Dismount the transceiver module.
3. Dismount and replace the magnetron.
4. When a new magnetron is fitted, allow at least 30 minute pre-heating under
ST-BY. Turn on the power and measure magnetron current. See Chapter 3 for heater voltage
rating and potentiometer to adjust.
5. Transmit on long range and measure magnetron current. See Chapter 3 for magnetron
current rating and potentiometer to adjust.
6. Reset "TX Hours" and "On Hours" on INSTALLATION SETUP menu. See page 4-3 for
how to access this menu.

MIC

The MIC can be replaced individually. No adjustment is necessary after replacement.

SPU Board

Write down settings of MAIN and INSTALLATION menus before replacing the board. Then,
after replacing the board, reenter settings. (Reason: Settings are stored in the E2PROM (U48)
on the SPU board.)

IMPORTANT: After replacing the board, the factory menu setting must be
carried out properly, otherwise the MIC will be damaged.

4–1
ROM

The SPU board uses Flush ROM (U36) to store a system program. The program version num-
ber can be checked at "23. Self Check" on the MAIN menu.
