Main functions
2 Main functions
2.1 Main switch - ON / OFF

The devices main switch is located on the operating control module.
Shortly after turning on the device, a splash screen will appear. Up next, there will be a warming phase of
approximately 60 seconds. After the expiration of the counter in the centre of the screen, the device is ready for use.
The device is now in stand-by RADAR mode (ST-BY). The screen as well as the control module are initially set to
maximum brilliance.
To turn off the device, use the main switch. User information will be stored and the device will shut down
automatically. The power supply can be disconnected after approximately 20 seconds.
Only disconnect the device from power supply after shutdown is complete. Otherwise, periodically stored data
can be lost.
2.2 Operating modes

This device disposes a RADAR-, MAP- and ECDIS- operating mode. Shifting
between the modes is achieved by pushing the keys MAP, RADAR or ECDIS.
It is possible to switch to a neutral environment, loaded with less information.
Using the basic setting, the device runs in RADAR-Mode.
 Map-Mode MAP is only available in ST-BY!
2.2.1 Radar-Mode - RADAR

Within Radar-Mode, radar echoes are displayed on a constant background. The display contains all relevant data for
navigation.
In Radar-Mode, AIS objects can be faded in.
2.2.2 ECDIS-Mode - ECDIS

Within ECDIS-Mode, radar echoes are displayed on a chart background. Charts and echoes are displayed with the
new SyncPlot Technology. Radar picture and chart are synchronised and updated in real-time. This technique of
image-update, developed by SWISS RADAR, creates a pleasant and steady image with congruent overlay-display.
2.2.3 Map-Mode - MAP

Map-Mode is only available in standby mode ST-BY. The whole image range of the screen is used for display. By
pushing the MAP- button, the chart is displayed north-oriented at the current position. A warning sound resonates.
Within Map-Mode, AIS- objects can be faded in.
A specific display for Map-Mode is faded in at the lower left side. Longitudes (LON) and latitudes (LAT) are displayed
in WGS84 an refer to the centre. If enabled, fixed range markers are displayed for more accurate estimation of
distance. Status indication is also available in Map-Mode. The position of the chart is adjusted by using the ENTER-
button and ADJUST- rotary knob.
2.3 Status indication - MODE

The status indication is located at the lower left side of the display. In case of no interference or other status
indication, the current operation mode is displayed. Furthermore, in Map- and ECDIS-Mode, the current level of
detail of the chart is displayed. More detailed information on current status indications can be consulted within the
alarm report.
 Alarm report
The device disposes an alarm-, warning- and report- system. Alarms, warnings and reports are displayed in a
prioritised status indication. Alarms are prioritised over warnings and warnings ar prioritised over reports. In case of
multiple alarms, warnings or reports, only the prioritised one is displayed.
Status indications are displayed in four different colours: Red, orange, yellow and green. Colour mapping is
applicable as follows:
• Red = Alarm (critical)
• Orange = Warning (urgent)
10
Main functions
• Yellow = Report (for your information)

• Green = Status indication (all systems go)
In addition, red and orange status indications (alarms and warnings) blink.
 A summary of alarms, warnings and reports can be found within the appendix.
2.4 Turn on radar - ST-BY / TX

 Prior to activation, check if antenna is able to rotate freely!
After pushing the TX- key, antenna motor and transmitter are turned on. The RADAR-display
(top left space on the screen) shifts from ST-BY to TX. Additionally, the current pulse length
(SP, MP, LP) is displayed.
• SP = Short pulse
• MP = Medium pulse
• LP = Long pulse
By pushing the ST-BY- key repeatedly, the antenna motor and transmitter are turned off. The device is in stand-by
mode. The RADAR-display shifts to ST-BY.
2.5 Tuning the receiver – TUNE

The tuning of the receiver can be carried out automatically or manually. After activation (basic
setting), the device always runs in auto-tune mode. By pressing the TUNE- key, auto-tune
mode is enabled or disabled. An A (automatic) or an M (manual) appears next to the TUNE
display and indicates which mode has been enabled.
The length of the tune indication-bar shortens, if the radar is running within a shorter distance
range. This is so because the transmitting power decreases gradually, the shorter the enabled
range is chosen.
2.5.1 Automatic
By pressing the TUNE- key, manual-tune mode is disabled and auto-tune mode is enabled.
 TUNE A: The device is tuned and re-adjusting automatically.
2.5.2 Manual
The manual tuning of the receiver has to be made within a large range (16 km or larger) because the transmitter
emits the highest power within this range (long pulse). Within this range, the tune display shows the highest
amplitude .
Initially, the rotary knob (TUNE) is turned left until the tune-display (TUNE top left space on the screen) is minimised.
Next, the rotary knob is turned slowly to the right until the tune indication-bar is maximised. This means that the
radar receiver is enabled with maximum sensitivity.
 TUNE M: The device has to be tuned manually within a large range of at least 16 km.
 Since the tune-rotary-knob is boundless, the maximum/minimum value has to be read off the tune-display.
2.6 Basic settings
2.6.1 Gain - GAIN

When gain GAIN is enabled initially, it is set to the maximum and it should stay this way in the
basic setting. Only in case of strong atmospheric interference, a slight reduction of gain may
help to separate smaller echoes from each other. Such as e.g. strong rain covering a coast line,
passing locks or other strongly reflecting objects.
 Since the gain-rotary-knob is boundless, the maximum/minimum value has to be read off the gain-display.
11
Main functions
2.6.2 Sensitivity time control - STC

The basic setting of sensitivity time control (or wave anticlutter) is set to a minimum. The STC
controller works as follows: Clock-wise turning results in a reduction of sensitivity of the
receiver close to the antenna (own vessel). This rotary knob has to be used very carefully,
otherwise even strong objects will not be displayed anymore.
 Since the STC-rotary-knob is boundless, the maximum/minimum value has to be read off the STC-display.
2.6.3 Fast time constant - FTC

The basic setting of fast time constant (or rain anticlutter) is automatically set to a minimum. This
rotary-knob allows variable discrimination of echoes and separates clutters of targets. A
maximum radial solution can be achieved with full clockwise rotation.
 Since the FTC-rotary-knob is boundless, the maximum/minimum value has to be read off the FTC-display.
2.7 Range scale- RANGE

The desired range scale (RANGE) is adjusted by using the two arrow keys  or 
The adjusted range can be red off the bottom left of the screen. The displayed distance always
refers to the radius of the furthest ring in a 90° or 270° angle.

2.8 Fixed range markers - RINGS

The fixed range markers are useful for a better estimation of distances between objects. The interval
between two fixed range markers can be read off under RINGS.
Pressing the RINGS-key repeatedly, reduces the brilliance of the fixed range markers gradually. The
function contains three levels of brilliance. When pressing the key at the lowest level of brilliance, the
fixed range markers will disappear (fourth level). The brilliance of the fixed range markers will be
stored.
2.9 Off center – OFF CENTER

Due to the representation in portrait format, the radar picture is extended forward by 44%.
E.g.: If the selected range (RANGE) is 16 km then the diameter of the picture is 32 km. Measured
from the center of the picture, the display shows 23 km ahead.
If this view ahead should not be sufficient, there is the possibility of selecting another 5 off-center
levels, using the OFF-CENTER  key. Degree values and the scale will be adjusted to the selected
off-center level.
By pressing key 0, the off-center mode will be quit and the display returns to standard.

2.11 Brilliance of screen and control module

After turning on (default) the brilliance of the screen and the control module are set to the
maximum. Ongoing, the brilliance of the control module will be dimmed to the recently set
value. The brilliance of the screen and the control module can be adjusted by turning the TFT-
rotary-knob.
If the SHF-key is pressed simultaneously, the brilliance of the control module can be adjusted
independent from the TFT-brilliance. The adjusted value will be stored.
 Since the TFT-rotary-knob is boundless, the maximum/minimum value has to be detected on the screen.
2.12 Selection of colours - DAY and NIGHT

The operator is free to choose between 5 colour combinations for day and night. The
selection can be done with the DAY- resp. NIGHT-key.
Day is the default setting of the device. The for the respective situation best setting can be
selected during radar-cruise, without loss of information.
Pressing the respective key, alters the combination of colours. After reaching the last colour
combination, the device shifts back to the first combination. The selected colour combination
will be stored for day and night.
2.13 Variable range markers and electronic bearing line - VRM and EBL
 While the menu is active, VRM and EBL can not be adjusted.
 The displayed bearing (VRM and EBL) is always relative to the radar antenna!
The inquiry of a target's distance and bearing, using VRM and EBL, is a very useful and important
function. The distance in kilometres as well as the bearing angle in degrees, are displayed at the
bottom left corner of the screen.
In default, the variable bearing marker (VRM) is set to the zero-meter position in the center of the
picture. The electronic bearing line (EBL) is disabled.
Switching between VRM and EBL is achieved by pressing the ENTER-button. The active VRM or
EBL is marked with a dot  next to the labelling of the VRM or EBL.
By pressing the VRM/EBL-key, the selected VRM or EBL is turned on and off. If the VRM or EBL is turned on/off, is
shown by a numeric value or OFF.
The selected VRM or EBL is positioned with the ADJUST-rotary-knob. If the selected VRM or EBL is turned off (OFF),
the use of the rotary-knob has no effect.
If a turned of VRM or EBL is selected (pressing the ENTER-button), it will be turned on automatically. It is assumed
that the selected VRM or EBL should be used.

Main functions
2.14 Fading out the ships head flash - SHF

Heading line or head-marker are other therms that are used for SHF (ships head flash). All describe
the extended keel-line of a ship, displayed on the radar screen.
If the navigator fears that the ships head flash covers a small echo, the SHF-key can be pressed for a
moment and the SHF will be faded out for that time.
2.15 Rate-of-turn indicator, autopilot indicator, rudder position indicator

A scale at the top edge of the screen indicates the rate-of-turn in degrees per minute (if installed, it as well indicates
the target for the autopilot and the position of the rudder). This emancipates the navigator from observing several
instruments at a time.
The lower pointer indicates the set-course-rate-of-turn or the rudder position, while the upper pointer follows slowly
the target, depending on the vessels inertia. After a short while, the upper and the lower pointer will be congruent. A
a result, the navigator knows that the vessel is tacking about with the target rate-of-turn.
 If the rate-of-turn indicator is disabled, the pointers within the scale will be faded out.
2.15.1 Rate of turn indicator - ROT

Rate-of-turn indicators with analog- or NMEA- data output can be connected with the radarscope.
2.15.2 Autopilot indicator - PILOT

To use this function, it is necessary that the autopilot disposes an analog or digital data output.
2.15.3 Rudder position indicator - RUDDER

To use this function, it is necessary that the rudder position indicator is computerised with an analog or digital
channel.
2.16 Trail - TRAIL

The Trail-function allows the navigator to store targets movement for a certain amount of time. The trail-level displays
how many antenna rotations pass by until an echo is no longer visible.
If a vessel itself is not moving, all targets are displayed in relative true motion. For better recognisability, targets are
displayed in different levels of brilliance. This means that moving targets always show a brighter front section in
direction of movement, while older positions are shown less bright. Vessels trails are displayed until trail-time runs
out.
During radar cruises on rivers or similarly narrow waters, the use of the trail function is not recommended. In
surroundings with broader dimensions, a suitable trail-level may improve an early detection of smaller targets. Such
targets are mostly not big enough to emit a good echo per each antenna rotation. If they are detected and stored
from time to time though, they are clearly visible on the screen. Furthermore, the speed of a target can be estimated
with the trail-function.
In default, the trail-function is disabled.
 In order to use the trail-function, the device needs to be set to RADAR- or ECDIS- mode.
TRAIL OFF
1. Select menu item TRAIL within the menu.
2. Select the desired trail-level with the ADJUST-rotary-knob. Select OFF to disable the trail-function.
3. Values are stored by pressing the ENTER-button. The display of the trail-function is to be found in the
menu at the bottom right corner.
2.17 Measure - MEASURE

There is a measuring system for specific distance measuring tasks. The system is able to carry out the following
tasks:
• Every spot in a radar picture can be measured against another spot in the same picture. E.g. width of a
river, distance among buoys or the length of a vessel.
• The amount of time between two measurements is recorded plus from the distance covered, the speed is
15
Main functions
calculated, and displayed in km/h.

The measure-function allows fast and meter-perfect measurements within the radar picture. This is possible not only
out of the center of the picture, but among any two chosen positions.
If the radar unit is run steadily, very precise measurements such as speed of other vessels, location of buoys,
pontoons, mechanical diggers or control measurements can be done easily. There are various applications that can
complement or even replace other methods of measurement.
MEASURE
1. Select menu item MEASURE. A cursor appears in the center of the picture and at the bottom left corner the
MEASURE window will be displayed.
2. Go to the first measuring point with the ENTER-button the ADJUST- rotary knob. Angle (BRG) and distance
(RNG) of the cursor, in relation to the center, will be currently updated and displayed at the bottom right
corner.
3. Select the first position by pressing the ENTER-button.
4. Go to the second measuring point with the ENTER-button the ADJUST- rotary knob. Among the first and
the second position, there will be strained a “measuring-line”. Angle (BRG) and distance (RNG) of the
cursor in relation to the center, and the the distance to the starting point will be currently updated and
displayed at the bottom right corner.
5. To quit the measurement, press the ENTER-button. The “measuring-line” will be drawn and the starting- as
well as the endpoint will be marked with two crosses. The measuring results will freeze. In addition to angle
and distance, speed will be displayed.
6. Pressing the ENTER-button again will quit the measurement.

Digital filters
3 Digital filters
This device includes contrast-, contour-, and interference reject- filters. All filters can be run stand-alone or
combined. Each filter disposes three function levels: Off, medium, and full.
The contrast-, contour-, and interference reject- filters are controllable with separate keys on the keyboard. This
allows quick and direct access to all filters. Status indication of filters is displayed at the top right corner on the
screen.
3.1 Contrast - CONTRAST

In a radar picture, contrast means the possibility to achieve the highest distinction between echo
signal and background. The JFS contrast filter performs multiple functions at a time – always
aiming for optimal and simple navigation.
If the CONTRAST-key is set to medium, the following filters are enabled:
• A newly developed noise filter removes all noise components that are usually visible on
any other radar whose gain (GAIN) is set to the maximum.
• The filter for interference, created by other radar units, is enabled.
• The lowest echo-signal-level, that usually only shows disturbing elements, is cut off and no longer on
display.
If full contrast is enabled (press CONTRAST-key twice), the threshold is increased again. All signals, no matter how
strong, are displayed with maximum brilliance.
In default setting, the contrast filter is turned off.
3.2 Contour - CONTOUR

 Contour filter® is is a method to display radar echoes, worldwide patented by JFS electronic!
The Contour Filter displays normal radar pictures in a chart-like manner. Targets and their size
are displayed with sharp contour lines in maximum precision. Coast lines, that are hard to
recognise – especially in case of alternation between strongly and weakly reflecting targets, are
displayed clearly with contour function. For the echo's surface, brilliance can be displayed and
dimmed in to levels, thus it is possible to get a glare-free picture. This is of great importance,
especially when navigating at night. Furthermore, comparisons with maps are very easy.
If the contour filter is enabled stand-alone, noise- and interference reject- filters are activated
automatically. The effect is similar to the one of the contrast filter and simplifies operation.
In default setting, the contour filter is turned off.
3.3 Interference reject - IR-REJ

In case that no other filter is activated, the first level of interference reject will not suppress
receiver noises, but only weaken interferences of other radar units that run on the same
frequency. This special kind of filtering was built into the radar to keep the possibility of receiving
official radar signals (e.g. radar beacon or SART's), while reducing interferences.
The second level increases interference reject, while concurrently receiver noises are prevented.
In default setting, interference reject is turned off.
 It is not necessary to enable the interference reject filter while one of the other filters is operating!

This device uses Debian GNU/Linux for the operating system. Debian GNU/Linux backs free software. All programs
and libraries are used in an unmodified form, as they can be found on: http://www.debian.org. The software is
solely linked with GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) libraries, and is not available as source code. Further
information on LGPL can be obtained under http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html
Further information on licences of Debian GNU/Linux can be found in the following text. The text is accessible under

Debian GNU/Linux license information
This page presents the opinion of some debian-legal contributors on how certain licenses follow the Debian Free
Software Guidlines (DFSG). Most of these opinions were formed in discussions on the debian-legal mailing list in
response to questions from potential package maintainers or licensors. We welcome enquiries from maintainers
considering particular licenses, but we encourage most maintainers to use one of the common licenses: GPL, LGPL,
modified BSD, or Artistic.
Software packaged for Debian is normally classified into one of four categories. There is free software (main), non-
free software (non-free), free software which depends on some non-free software (contrib) and software which
cannot be redistributed (not included). Debian Policy section 2 explains exactly how the DFSG are applied to the
archive. If in doubt, maintainers are asked to email debian-legal about licenses, including the text of any new license
into the body of the email. You may find it helpful to search the list archives for the name of the license before
emailing lists with questions about it. If you still email questions, please link to some of the previous relevant
discussions.
debian-legal is advisory. The actual decision-makers are the ftpmasters and the package maintainers. However, if
one cannot convince most of the generally liberal debian-legal contributors, it's probably not clear that the software
follows the DFSG.
Because the actual decision-makers are the ftpmasters and the package maintainers, it is a very good idea to check
the ftpmasters REJECT FAQ and search site:packages.debian.org for any license that you doubt, to look for other
examples of its handling for debian. (The search works because package copyright files are published on
packages.debian.org as plain text.)
Other lists are maintained by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) and the Open Source Initiative (OSI). Please note
however, that the Debian project decides on particular packages rather than licenses in abstract, and the lists are
general explanations. It is possible to have a package containing software under a "free" license with some other
aspect that makes it non-free. Sometimes, debian-legal comments on a license in abstract, not applied to any
particular software. While these discussion can suggest possible problems, often no firm answers can be reached
until some specific software is examined.
• You may contact debian-legal if you have questions or comments about these summaries.
• Licenses currently found in Debian main include:
• GNU General Public License [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html]
• GNU Lesser General Public License [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html]
• Modified BSD License [http://www.debian.org/misc/bsd.license]

• zlib-style licenses [http://www.gzip.org/zlib/zlib_license.html]
• OpenSSL License [http://www.openssl.org/source/license.html]
• Unmodified BSD License (also known as the original or 4-clause BSD license. It included an advertising
requirement and is now deprecated even by the BSD project.)
