How can the radar help me avoid a collision?

You can set up your E-Series Display to sound an alarm when anything comes within a pre-set range of the boat. These guard zones allow you to take any necessary action to avoid a collision.

Guard zones

A sector or circular zone fixed with respect to the Ships Heading Marker (SHM). If the SHM moves, or the centre is offset, or the range scale changes, the zone moves accordingly.

What does a guard zone display?

SHMSHM

Sector Zone

Circular Zone

IMPORTANT

A guard zone:

Will only operate when a whole zone is displayed on screen, or displayed by offsetting the centre.

Is inactive for 10 seconds after it is placed or re-sized, to avoid inappropriate alarms.

To switch radar overlay on/off:

You can overlay radar image data on your chart allowing better distinction between fixed objects and other marine traffic.
