MARPA status The MARPA status can identify if a heading sensor is on the network and that the radar is receiving heading information essential for MARPA calculations. Reset device ID Should a radar be connected to the network that has been connected to a dual radar network in the past, it might not be detected by the system because it might have an invalid Device ID. With the radar connected and powered up, select the Reset Device ID button to resolve this problem. Ú Note: This procedure must be performed with only one radar on the network, and only applies where a network combines an older NSS with other MFDs. Adjust bearing alignment This is to align the heading marker on the screen with the center line of the vessel. This will compensate for any slight misalignment of the scanner during installation. Any inaccuracy will be evident when using MARPA or chart overlay. Point the boat to be perpendicular to the very end of a breakwater or peninsula. Adjust the bearing alignment setting, so that the heading marker and land mass intersect. Adjust antenna height Set the radar scanner height relative to the water surface. The Radar uses this value to calculate the correct STC settings. Software Setup | HDS Carbon Installation Manual 45
