◆◆◆PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATION◆◆◆ ■Cautions for high voltage High voltages from hundreds volts to tens of thousands volts are to be applied to the electronic equipment such radio and radar devices. You do not face any danger during normal operation, but sufficient cares are required for maintenance, inspection and adjustment of their internal components. (Maintenance, check-up and adjustment of the inside of the equipment are prohibited except by maintenance specialists.
◆◆◆FIRST-AID TREATMENTS◆◆◆ ☆First-aid treatments As far as the victim of electric shock is not in dangerous condition, do not move him and practice artificial respiration on him immediately. Once started, it should be continued rhythmically. (1) Do not touch the victim confusedly as a result of the accident, but the rescuer may also get an electric shock. (2) Turn off the power source calmly and move the victim away quietly from the electric line.
☆When pulse is beating but breathing has stopped (Mouth-to-mouth respiration) Fig. 1 (1) Tilt the victim’s head back as far as this face looks back. (A pillow may be inserted his neck.) (2) Push his jaw upward to open his throat wide (to spread his airway). (3) Pinch the victim’s nostrils and take a deep breath, block his mouth completely with yours and blow into his mouth strongly. Take a deep breath again and blow into his mouth. Continue this 10 to 15 times a minutes (blocking his nostrils).
☆When both pulse and breathing have stopped Perform the (Cardiac massage) Fig. 2 and (Mouth-to-mouth respiration) Fig. 1 When no pulse has come not to be felt, his pupils are open and no heartbeat is heard, cardiac arrest is supposed to have occurred and artificial respiration must be performed.
PREFACE Thank you very much for purchasing the JRC VTS radar equipment, JPL-600-MK2 series. This equipment is a marine radar equipment designed to obtain safe operation of marine ships. This equipment consists of a radar signal transmitter-receiver unit, a LCD display unit and a scanner unit as its main units. ● Before operating the equipment, be sure to read this instruction manual carefully for correct operation. ● Maintain this instruction manual so that operators can refer to it at anytime.
●Before Operation● Pictorial Indication Various pictorial indications are included in this manual and are shown on these equipment so that you can operate them safety and correctly and prevent any danger to you and/or to other persons and any damage to your property during operation. Such indications and their meanings are as follows.
●PRECAUTIONS● DANGER Never carry out internal inspection or repair work of the equipment by users. Inspection or repair work by uncertified personnel may result in fire hazard or electrocution. For inspection and repair work of equipment components, consult with our branch office, branch shop, sales office, or our distributor in your district. When conducting maintenance, make sure to turn the main power off. Failure to comply may result in electrocution.
WARNING Never directly touch the internal components of the scanner or indicator. Direct contact with these high-voltage components may cause electrocution. For maintenance, inspection, or adjustment of equipment components, consult with our branch office, branch shop, sales office, or our distributor in your district. To contact our sales department, branch offices, branch shops, and sales offices: Please refer to the "Office List" at the end of the document.
WARNING Do not change MBS Level/Area unless absolutely necessary. Incorrect adjustment will result in deletion of nearby target images and thus collisions may occur resulting in death or serious injuries. When cleaning the display screen, do not wipe it too strongly with a dry cloth. Also, do not use gasoline or thinner to clean the screen. Failure to comply will result in damage to the screen surface. Direct exposure to electromagnetic waves at close range will have adverse effects on the human body.
CAUTION A malfunction may occur if the power is instantaneously interrupted during operation of the radar. In this case, the power should be turned on again. Normally, use the automatic tune mode. Use the manual tune mode only when best tuning is not possible in the automatic tune mode due to deterioration of magnetron. If the gain is too high, unnecessary signals including receiver noise and false video increase resulting in reduction of visibility of targets.
CAUTION Use the radar only as a navigation aid. The final navigation decision must always be made by the operator him/herself. Making the final navigation decision based only on the radar display may cause accidents such as collisions or running aground. Use target tracking function only as a navigation aid. The final navigation decision must always be made by the operator him/herself. Making the final navigation decision based only on tracking target information may cause accidents.
CAUTION If a great value is set as a condition for deciding targets as identical, a tracking target near an AIS target is regarded as identical to the AIS target and it may not be displayed any more. For example, when a pilot boat (which is a small target not being tracked) equipped with an AIS function approaches a cargo ship as a tracking target not equipped with an AIS function, the tracking target symbol of the cargo ship may not be displayed any more.
CAUTION Make sure to shut off the main power before replacing parts. Failure to comply may result in electrocution or equipment failure. When replacing magnetrons, make sure to shut off the main power and let the equipment stand for more than 5 minutes to discharge the high-voltage circuit. Failure to comply may result in electrocution. Make sure to take off your watch when your hand must get close to the magnetron. Failure to comply may result in damage to the watch since the magnetron is a strong magnet.

SECTION 5 OPERATION OF TARGET TRACKING AND AIS USAGE OF TARGET TRACKING FUNCTION ............................................5-1 5.1 PREPARATION ....................................................................................5-2 5.2 TARGET TRACKING OPERATION ...................................................5-16 5.3 AIS OPERATION................................................................................5-30 5.4 DECISION OF TARGETS AS IDENTICAL (ASSOCIATION) ............5-41 5.5 ALARM DISPLAY ....
USAGE OF TARGET TRACKING FUNCTION Attention z There are the following limitations on use of the target acquisition and target tracking functions. [I] Resolution between adjacent targets and swapping during automatic target tracking Depending on the particular distance and echo size, resolution between adjacent targets during automatic target tracking usually ranges somewhere between 0.03 to 0.05 NM. If multiple targets approach each other, resolution will become about 0.
5.1 Preparation 5.1 yy yyy PREPARATION This section explains the features of the target tracking and AIS functions, and the initial setting for using each function. Target Tracking Function (Option) The target tracking function calculates the course and speed of a target by automatically tracking the target's move. The target tracking function enables the automatic acquisition of targets by using the automatic acquisition zone function.
5.1.1 Collision Avoidance Problems of Collision Avoidance in Navigation Marine collision avoidance is one of the problems that have been recognized from of old. Now, it will be described briefly who the collision avoidance is positioned among the navigational aid problems. The navigation pattern of all mobile craft constitutes a system with some closed loops regardless of the media through which the mobile craft travels, whether air, water, the boundary between air and water, or space.
5.1 Preparation yy yyy Basic Concept of Collision Avoidance There are two aspects in collision avoidance: collision prediction and avoidance. Collision prediction is to predict that two or more vessels will happen to occupy the same point at the same time, while collision avoidance is to maneuver vessels not to occupy the same point at the same time. In practical operation of vessels, a spot of collision has to be deemed to be a single point but a closed zone.
Relative Vector and True Vector From two points of view, collision prediction and avoidance, it is necessary to obtain the relative vector of other ship for prediction and the true vector of other ship for collision avoidance in order to grasp other ship’s aspect. The relationship between the relative vector and true vector is shown in Fig. 5-3. Both rough CPA and TCPA can be obtained easily from the relative speed vector of other ship.
5.1 Preparation yy yyy 5.1.2 Definitions of Symbols Types and Definitions of Target Tracking Symbols Vector/Symbol 12 12 Definition Remarks Initial acquisition target This symbol is displayed until the vector is displayed after target acquisition. Target acquired in automatic acquisition zone The alarm sounds. The alarm message (New Target) turns red and blinks. The symbol is red colored. Tracked target 12 Dangerous target The alarm sounds. The alarm message (CPA/TCPA) turns red and blinks.
Types and Definitions of AIS Target Symbols Vector/Symbol Definition Remarks Sleeping target This symbol is displayed when received data is valid. The direction of the triangle’s vertex indicates the target’s bow or course. Activated target The heading direction is displayed with a solid line, and the course vector is displayed with a dotted line. The line perpendicular to the heading direction indicates the direction to which the course is to be changed. This line may not be displayed.
5.1 Preparation yy yyy The vector of an AIS target is to be displayed with a vector over ground or over water, depending on the speed sensor setting and current offset setting. The type of the currently displayed vector can be confirmed by viewing the setting of the stable mode.
5.1.3 Radar Display Vector Display A vector to represent a target’s predicted position can be presented in the True vector or Relative vector mode. In each mode, a vector length can be freely changed for a time interval of 1 to 60 minutes. To switch between the true vector mode and relative vector mode, press the [VECT R/T] key.
5.1 Preparation Relative Vector Mode yy yyy (Not used on the JPL-600-MK2 for VTS) The relative vector does not represent the true motion of the target, but its relative relation with own ship. This means that a target with its relative vector directed to own ship (passing through the CPA Limit ring) will be a dangerous target. In the Relative Vector mode, it can be seen at a glance where the CPA Limit of the dangerous target is.
5.1.4 Cursor Modes (Cursor) Types and Functions of Cursor Modes The types of cursor modes are listed in the table below. onto the PPI object and press the [ENT] key. Mode To use the function of a cursor mode, move the cursor Function ACQ TT Enables the target tracking function to acquire a target in manual mode. ACT AIS Activates AIS targets, and sets a point filter. TGT Data Displays the numeric data of a tracked target or AIS target. CNCL TT Cancels a target tracking.
5.1 Preparation yy yyy Operation of AUTO Mode As shown below, the AUTO mode performs operation in accordance with the object at the cursor position when the [ENT] key is pressed. Object at Cursor Position Operation None Acquires a target. EBL Performs EBL operation. VRM Performs VRM operation. Intersection point of EBL and VRM Performs EBL operation and VRM operation at the same time. Parallel index line (PI) Operates the parallel index line.
5.1.5 Setting Collision Decision Criteria (Not used on the JPL-600-MK2 for VTS) Attention z Set the optimum values of collision decision conditions, depending upon vessel type, water area, weather and oceanographic conditions. (For the relations between those conditions and alarms, refer to section 5.5 Alarm Display. ) Input of CPA Limit Procedures 1 Move the cursor to the CPA limit setting (TT/AIS information ③ on page 2-23), and press the [ENT] key. The CPA Limit value input screen will appear.
5.1 Preparation yy yyy 5.1.7 Setting Vectors (Vector Time) Vector time can be set in minutes in the range 1 to 60 min. A true vector mode or relative vector mode can be selected. Setting vector time on the display Procedures 1 Move the cursor to the target vector time setting (TT / AIS information ② on page 2-23), and press the [ENT] key. The Vector Time value input screen will appear. 2 Enter the value to be set as vector time.
5.1.8 Setting the GPS antenna location (Not used on the JPL-600-MK2 for VTS) Set the GPS antenna location. Set offset ranges in longitudinal direction and latitudinal direction from the own ship's reference position. For the setting procedure, refer to Section 7.1.9 Setting of CCRP/Antenna/GPS Antenna Position. Attention z If offset ranges are not set correctly, AIS symbols and radar echoes may be displayed shifted.
5.2 Target Tracking Operation 5.2 yy yyy TARGET TRACKING OPERATION This section explains how to use the target tracking function. The target tracking function automatically tracks a target, and displays the target's course and speed as vectors. The target tracking function calculates CPA and TCPA, and issues an alarm as needed.

5.7 TRIAL MANEUVERING (TRIAL MANEUVER) (Not used on the JPL-600-MK2 for VTS) Attention z Trial maneuvering is to simulate own ship’s course and speed in the conditions that the course and speed of a target ship are unchanged as they are. As the situation is different from any actual ship maneuvering, set values with large margins to CPA Limit and TCPA Limit. The trial maneuvering is the function of simulating own ship’s course and speed for collision avoidance when a dangerous target appears.
5.7 Trial Maneuvering yy yyy Trial Maneuvering in the True Vector Mode In the True Vector mode, calculations are performed according to the values set by Trial Speed, Trial Course and other features, and the result is displayed as a bold-line that represents the change of own ship’s vector as shown in the figure below (an example of the course changed to the right).

The radar operator has a role of interpreting the radar displays to provide his best aid in maneuvering the ship. For this purpose, the operator has to observe the radar displays after fully understanding the advantages and disadvantages that the radar has. For better interpretation of radar display, it is important to gain more experiences by operating the radar equipment in fair weathers and comparing the target ships watched with the naked eyes and their echoes on the radar display.
6.1 Radar Wave with the Horizon y yy yyy D (nm) 6 Height of Radar Scanner Detective Range Height of Target Figure 6.2 When the height of scanner is 10 m for instance, (a) A target that can be detected at the radar range of 64 nm on the radar display is required to have a height of 660 m or more. (b) If the height of a target is 10 m, the radar range has to be approx. 15 nm.
6.2 STRENGTH OF REFLECTION FROM THE TARGET The signal intensity reflected from a target depends not only on the height and size of the target but also on its material and shape. The echo intensity from a higher and larger target is not always higher in general. In particular, the echo from a coast line is affected by the geographic conditions of the coast. If the coast has a very gentle slop, the echo from a mountain of the inland appears on the radar display.
6.2 Strength of Reflection from the Target y yy yyy Table 6.
6.3 SEA CLUTTER AND RAIN AND SNOW CLUTTER In addition to the echo required for observing ships and land radar video image also includes unnecessary echo, such as reflection from waves on the sea surface and reflection from rain and snow. Reflection from the sea surface is called "sea clutter," and reflection from rain and snow is called "rain and snow clutter," and those spurious waves must be eliminated by the clutter rejection function.
6.3 Sea Clutter and Rain and Snow Clutter y yy yyy As shown in Table 6.3, the number of SS increases as the wind speed becomes high and the waves become large. Table 6.2 reveals that detection probability decreases from V (80 %) to NV (less than 50 %) as the number of SS increases. Therefore, even if the sea state is calm and a target clearly appears on the radar display, when the sea state becomes rough, target detection probability decreases resulting in difficulty of target detection by the radar.

6.3 Sea Clutter and Rain and Snow Clutter y yy yyy [III] Coping with sea clutter and rain and snow clutter When the weather is bad and the ocean is rough, the use of an S band radar is effective because the radar is not influenced by sea clutter so much and attenuation due to rain drops is small.
6.4 FALSE ECHOES The radar observer may be embarrassed with some echoes that do not exist actually. appear by the following causes that are well known: [I] These false echoes Shadow When the radar scanner is installed near a funnel or mast, the echo of a target that exists in the direction of the funnel or mast cannot appear on the radar display because the radar beam is reflected on the funnel or mast.
6.4 False Echoes y yy yyy [IV] False Echo by Multiple Reflection When there is a large structure or ship with a high vertical surface near own ship as shown in Figure 6.7, multiple refection returns may appear on the radar display. These echoes appear in the same intervals, of which the nearest echo is the true echo of the target. Figure 6.
[VI] Radar Interference When another radar equipment using the same frequency band as that on own ship is near own ship, a radar interference pattern may appear on the radar display. This interference pattern consists of a number of spots which appear in various forms. In many cases, these spots do not always appear at the same places, so that they can be discriminated from the target echoes. (See Figure 6.8) HL HL Figure 6.
6.5 6.5 Display of Radar Transponder y yy yyy DISPLAY OF RADAR TRANSPONDER (SART) The SART (Search and rescue Radar Transponder) is a survival device authorized by the GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System), which is used for locating survivors in case that a distress accident occurs at sea. The SART is designed to operate in the 9 GHz frequency band.
[Example of Display] Attention z When the SART function is set to ON, small targets around radar station will disappear from the radar display. z After end of detecting the START signal, turn the START display off. Then the radar returns to the normal mode.
