Furuno 1932, 1942, 1832 manual Turning the Radar On/Off, Transmitting, Stand-by, Economy mode

2.3 Turning the Radar On/Off

Press the [POWER] key to turn the radar on or off.

The control panel lights and a timer displays the time remaining for warm up of the magne- tron (the device which produces radar pulses), counting down from 1:30 to 0:01.

2.4 Transmitting

After the power is turned on and the magnetron has warmed up, STBY (Stand-By) appears at the screen center. This means the radar is now fully operational. In stand-by the radar is avail- able for use at anytime - but no radar waves are being transmitted.

Press the [STBY TX] key to transmit.

When transmitting, any echoes from targets appear on the display. This radar displays ech- oes in eight tones of green according to echo strength.

2.5 Stand-by

When you won’t be using the radar for an ex- tended period, but you want to keep it in a state of readiness, place it in stand-by by pressing the [STBY TX] key. The display shows “STBY,” navigation data, or goes into the economy mode depending on menu setting. (More on menu operation later.)

Economy mode

The CRT can be set to automatically turn itself off when in stand-by, to reduce power consump- tion. This feature is called the “economy mode.” Power consumption in the economy mode is 28 W. When the economy mode is on, the lamp next to the [POWER] key lights.

Navigation data display during stand-by

If a navigation aid inputs navigation data to this radar, navigation data can be displayed during stand-by. You can turn the navigation data dis- play on/off through the menu. Figure 2-3 shows a typical navigation data display during stand- by.
