HDS Gen3 Installation Manual
Radar setup
Setup and use of the Broadband
radar has been simplified when
compared to traditional pulse
radars. There is no zero range
(time delay), no warm up time,
and no burn-in required.
Radar status
Displays scanner information, the
availability and status of scanner
features, and the status of radar peripherals.
Reset Device ID
HDS displays only support one radar on the network. Should a radar
be connected, that has been previously connected to a dual radar
network in the past, it may not be detected by the display because
it has an incorrect Device ID. To resolve this problem select
Reset
device ID
on the Radar status page, and follow the on screen
prompts.
Adjust
bearing alignment
This is to align with the heading marker on the screen with the
center line of the vessel, compensating 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 above water. The Radar uses this value
to optimize removal of sea clutter (radar reflections from waves)
from the display.
Adjust local interference reject
Interference from some onboard sources can interfere with the
Broadband radar. One symptom of this could be a large target on
the screen that remains in the same relative bearing even if the
vessel changes direction. Choose from Local interference rejection
LOW, MED or HIGH. Default is LOW.
