SL70 PLUS Series Pathfinder Radar Display Owner's Handbook Document number: 81205_1 Date:March 2002 iii SL70 PLUS Series Pathfinder Radar Display Owner's Handbook March 2002 INTENDED USE The display units detailed in this handbook may form part of navigational radar systems intended for light marine use. These displays and radar systems are only an aid to navigation. SAFETY NOTICES This radar equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with the instructions contained in this manual. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or navigational inaccuracies. [. . . ] Press ENTER again to drop the VRM/EBL in its new position, or CLEAR to abandon the operation and return the VRM/EBL to its previous position. To unfloat a floating VRM/EBL using the keys: VRM/EBL 1. Press the UNF LOAT 1 soft key to unfloat VRM/EBL1, or the UNFLOAT 2 soft key to unfloat VRM/EBL2. The soft keys are cleared, and the VRM/EBL is repositioned with its origin at your vessel's position. FLOAT 1 UNFLOAT 1 3-18 SL70M & SL70C PLUS Pathfinder Radar Displays Controlling VRM/EBL Data Boxes Each VRM/EBL data box is switched on and off with its associated VRM/ EBL. However, when one or both VRM/EBLs are active, you can move the data box(es) and you can switch the data box(es) off at any time. You use the context sensitive cursor to select and move a VRM/EBL data box (the label BOX appears under the cursor). See Moving and deleting items with the context-sensitive cursor on page 1-10. To control the VRM/EBL data boxes: VRM/EBL Controlling VRM/EBL Data Boxes BOX 1. Press the VRM/EBL DATABOX soft key to toggle the setting from OFF to ON or from ON to OFF. Note: VRM/EBL data boxes are not affected by the setting of the DATABOXES soft key accessed using the SCREEN default soft key. This only controls the set of data boxes available for integrated systems (see Chapter 2). VRM/EBL DATABOX OFF ON Chapter 3: Standard Radar Operations 3-19 3. 5 Setting Guard Zones and Alarms The Pathfinder Plus Radar display allows you to set up one or two guard zones, using the ALARMS key. You can set up sector zones or 360° (circular) zones as shown in Figure 3-13. RR 1/2 AUTO T H-UP IR GRD Guard zone 1, sector zone (short-dashed line) Guard zone 2, circular zone (long-dashed line) CURSOR BRG 031° R RNG 2. 24 nm D3975-1 Figure 3-13: Guard Zone Display Guard zones are fixed with respect to the ship's heading marker (SHM), moving as the SHM moves. They also move if you offset the center, or if you change the range scale, so that the area you have marked is maintained. The guard alarm sounds when a target enters a guard zone, exceeding the target density threshold within the zone; the alarm also sounds on a repeater display. The alarm sensitivity control allows you to set the threshold above which a new target will trigger an alarm, and also to turn the alarm on or off. Note: A guard zone only operates when the whole zone is displayed on the screen, or could be displayed by offsetting the center. In addition, a guard zone is inactive for 10 seconds after it is placed or re-sized, to avoid inappropriate alarms during positioning. This section covers the following topics: · Placing a guard zone · Moving, reshaping or deleting a guard zone · Controlling guard zone alarms Setting Guard Zones and Alarms 3nm 126°T 3-20 SL70M & SL70C PLUS Pathfinder Radar Displays Placing a Guard Zone Placing and positioning guard zones on the Pathfinder Plus Radar display is quick and easy. · If a guard zone is not already displayed, you can place one using the ALARMS key. · If you have already placed a guard zone, pressing the ALARMS key allows you to toggle either guard zone on or off. Note: When you turn on a guard zone, it is normally displayed in its last-used position and shape. However, if this position is off-screen at the current range setting, or within one quarter of the current range from your vessel, the guard zone is placed at its default position and shape instead. This is at one third (Zone 1) or two thirds (Zone 2) of the current range, as a sector zone occupying 30° either side of the ship's heading marker. To place a guard zone: Placing a Guard Zone ALARMS 1. The soft keys are displayed. GUARD 1 OFF ON GUARD 2 OFF ON D3791-2 The soft keys indicate the current status of the two guard zones. GUARD 1 OFF ON 2. [. . . ] If you have a Raymarine 150G or 400G course computer we recommend that you configure your system as follows and illustrated below: · Connect the course computer NMEA1 output to the NMEA input . · In the System Set Up Menu set Bridge NMEA Heading OFF (see Bridge NMEA Heading on page 5-8).
