Waterproofs
The display unit conforms to the IEC standard IPX5; namely, waterproof against water jets. Even
the small hole to the right of the arrow keys, which is where the aural alarm is released, is
waterproof. A “breathing sheet” between the panel cover and the buzzer allows air to pass and
prevents water from being drawn into the enclosure during atmospheric pressure changes.

PANEL Board
Mounted on this board are the operating keys, panel-illuminating LEDs, and electrical buzzer,
constituting the man-machine interface.
DU Board (03P9268)
The reference oscillator U125 is a quartz oscillator which generates an accurate and stable
reference frequency signal. This reference frequency signal is the source of the transmission
trigger, the clock for video signal processing in the display unit, the time-base signal, the
reference clock for LCD display, the reference clock for CPU, and so on.
According to the distance range selected in the panel operation, CPU computes the ratio of
dividing the reference frequency and sends the data to the gate array U111 (radar signal
processing circuit). Based on the data, U111 creates the transmission trigger from the reference
frequency signal.
This radar intentionally varies the pulse repetition frequency of the transmission trigger to
prevent the interference signals from other radars.
The IF video signal from scanner unit inputs to the video circuit on the DU board.
The video circuit includes FTC circuit that rejects the reflecting signals from the rain and snow.
CPU switches on or off the FTC function according to the panel operation.
The IF video signal is converted by a A/D converter to the three-level digital signal, which inputs
to the gate array U111 (radar signal processing circuit). In U111, the input digital IF video signal
is sampled with the sampling clock corresponding to the range setting. Further in U111, when
the interference rejector is turned on in the menu, each receiving video signal is correlated with
the corresponding transmission to reject the interference signals from other radars. The video
signal output from U111 is written in the VRAM U116 for the display.
The antenna bearing signal and heading signal are input to CPU from scanner unit. The heading
correction data, obtained at heading alignment (instllation menu) is stored in EEPROM U105,
and CPU computes the correct direction of the antenna, using the correction data. The data to
correct the difference between the transmitting and receiving timing is obtained at TX time delay
adjustment (installation menu) and is also stored in EEPROM U105. The correction is carried
out in U118.

2.4!Functions of Each Circuit board
While the target scanning system of the radar uses the method of R#$ coordinates, LCD
display of this radar employs the method of X-Y coordinates, which is similar to so called TV-
sweep method.
The sweep time of the LCD display is independent of that of the radar scanning system, so
VRAM U116 is provided as the interface between them.
In order to write the radar echo signal received after every transmission trigger on VRAM U116,
CPU converts the antenna bearing signal $ into the values of SIN$ and COS$ and send
them to U118. U118 further converts them to X-Y coordinates of RSIN$ and
RCOS$. These values are used as the address to write the radar video signal on VRAM U116.
VRAM U116 also holds the past video signal for display for a trail time specified by the panel
operation.
According to the settings of the operating panel, CPU writes on VRAM U113 the display data
such as the fixed range rings, EBL, VRM, cursor, guard alarm range, and scale of azimuth angle.
Further, CPU also writes on VRAM U113 the character and numbers to be displayed on the
screen. For writing these data, GDC U112 is used.
The data writing/reading onto/from the VRAM is carried out by U118 in time-sharing method.
The display data are read out from VRAM and sent to LCD display using GDC U112.
The signals for controlling scanner unit (including the transceiver) are converted to RS-422 serial
signals in U119 and sent through a balanced RS-422 cable so that the signals may not be affected
by external noise. The control signals include those for switching the transmission on/off,
adjusting the transmitting pulse width and IF amplifier gain, and adjusting STC.
The information from the navigational aid is received through U114 and U126 to be displayed on
the radar screen.
The unit requires power supply source ranging 10.2 to 31.2 V DC. This voltage meets the
voltage requirement for ships: 10% lower and 30% higher than 12V/24V ship’s mains. This DC
power is supplied through noise filters, L1, and L2, to the pulse-width-controlled DC-DC
converter mainly consisting of U6, Q6, and T1, which generates the stable voltages of +5 V, +12
V, -6V, and -22 V that are needed in display unit. The voltage +5 V is mainly used for the digital
circuits, +12 V and -6 V are used for the video and other analog circuits, and –22 V is for the
LCD display. The DC-AC inverter consisting of Q52, Q53, and T2 generates AC 210 V which is
used for the backlighting of the LCD display.
If the power supply is reverse-connected to the radar, the reverse-polarity protector activates so
that the circuit breaker is tripped or fuse is blown off to prevent the damage to the unit.
The power supply circuit contains low- and high-input voltage protectors.

2.4!Functions of Each Circuit board
The operating conditions of the radar that have been set on the operating panel of the display unit
are sent to the CPU U3 on the INT board through the RS422 communication line. The CPU U3
controls the stepping motor drive circuit U5 which drives the stepping motor to rotate the
antenna. The antenna azimuth signal is created in the stepping motor drive circuit and mixed
with the heading signal (S801), and sent to the display unit.
In order to change the transmitting radar pulse length according to the selected range, the pulse
width information is sent from the INT board to the modulation circuit on the MD board.
There are the automatic mode and manual mode to adjust the gain of the IF amplifier. In the
automatic mode, CPU U3 monitors the video signal from the IF amplifier, and the monitored
signal inputs to the A/D converter U7 through the I/O port U5, and the A/D converter output
controls the IF amplifier gain. In the manual mode, the signal set by manual setting inputs to the
A/D converter, and the A/D converter output controls the gain of the IF amplifier.
This radar employs an automatic tuning system in which the main bang signal from the IF
amplifier is amplified and inputs to CPU U3 as the signal indicating the tuning level.
The CPU U3 controls the output of the A/D converter U7 so that the tuning indication level may
become maximum.
The adjustment of STC is also carried out in the same way as the gain adjustment.

RU-9458 Module
This module includes the circulator and MIC circuit that converts the microwave frequency to
the intermediate frequency.
The circulator switches between the transmitting and receiving microwave circuits so that the
transmitting radio energy may be efficiently transmitted to the antenna without leaking to the
receiver side and the receiving radar signal from the antenna may be sent with efficiency to the
receiver without leaking to the transmitter side.
The receiver side is provided with the waveguide to coaxial converter, diode limiter, and
balanced mixer. The diode limiter, set after the converter, protects the balanced mixer from the
excessive input power, and the mixer converts the input microwave signal to the 60-MHz IF
signal.
A voltage-controlled FET oscillator outputs the signal to the mixer.
MD Board (03P9270)
The power supply circuit and modulation circuit of the scanner unit (transceiver) are mounted on
the MD board.
There are provided two DC-DC converter power supply circuits: one supplies –6 V, +5 V, and
+12 V to the circuits except the magnetron and the other supplies power to the magnetron heater
and TXHV. The two DC-DC converters generate stable voltage outputs with Q803 and Q832
driven by the pulsewidth controllers U801 and U805.
The magnetron current, -6 V, +5 V, +12 V, +8 V (magnetron heater voltage), and TX HV can be
checked at the check points TP804 on the board.
In the magnetron modulation circuit, the transmitting pulse waveform is determined by the one-
shot multivibrator U851 which is triggered by the transmitting trigger pulse. The pulsewidth of
the multivibrator is set by the time constant which is determined by the pulsewidth control signal
from INT board. The output of the multivibrator inputs to the FET switching transistor Q857
through transistor buffer Q853 and variable resistor VR851. The VR851 presets the voltage for
driving Q857 to determine the magnetron output power.
