Follow the steps shown below to activate the auto acquisition area.

1.Open the “ARP-10 MENU.”

2.Select “8. Auto ACQ.”

3.Select “On.”

4.Press the [ACQ/ENTER] key.

5.Press the [MENU] key to close the menu.

Terminating Tracking of Targets

When the Auto Plotter has acquired 10 tar- gets, no more acquisition occurs unless tar- gets are lost. Should this happen, cancel tracking of individual targets or all targets by the procedure described below.

Individual targets

Place the cursor (+) on a target which you do not want to be tracked any longer by operat- ing the omnipad and press and hold down the [SELECT/CANCEL] key.

All targets

All targets can be canceled from "ARP-10 MENU" at a time.

1.Open the “ARP-10 MENU.”

2.Select “2. All Cancel.”

3.Press the [ACQ/ENTER] key.

6.4 Displaying Target Data

The Auto Plotter calculates motion trends (range, bearing, course, speed, CP A and TCPA) of all targets under tracking at theARP Data area.

To turn ARP data on;

1.Press the [MENU] key.

2.Select “DISP DATA.”

3.Press the [ACQ/ENTER] key to select the message for “ARP” or “NAV” or “ARP.”

4.Press the [ACQ/ENTER] key.

5.Press the [MENU] key to close the menu.

CAUTION

At the speed under 5 kts the target data is displayed with a delay because of filtration.

Place the cursor on a wanted target and press the [SELECT/CANCEL] key. Data on the se- lected target is displayed at the bottom of the screen. The symbol of the selected target gets twice as large as the normal circle.The data includes the following:

RNG/BRG (Range/Bearing): Range and bearing from own ship to the last-plotted or selected target position with suffix “T” (True) or “M” (Magnetic). For true bearings suffix “T” is used in case of gyrocompass input and suf- fix “M” is used in case of magnetic compass input.

COURSE/SPEED (Course/Speed): Course and speed are displayed for the last-plotted or selected target with suffix “T” (True) or “M” (Magnetic). For true bearings suffix “T” is used in case of gyrocompass input and suffix “M” is used in case of magnetic compass input.

CPA (Closest Point of Approach): is the closest range a target will approach to own ship. Do not mix it with the operator preset CPA alarm limit.

TCPA: The time to CP A measured with present speeds of own ship and the targets. Both CPA and TCPA are automatically cal- culated. When a target ship has passed clear of own ship, the CP A is displayed and the TCPA appears as “**.*”. TCPA is counted up to 99.9 min. and beyond this it is indicated as TCPA>99.9 min.

1932 MARK-2 specifications

The Furuno 1932 MARK-2 is a state-of-the-art radar system designed for maritime applications, providing exceptional performance and reliability. This advanced radar unit is renowned for its impressive range, superior target detection capabilities, and user-friendly interface, making it an essential tool for vessels of all sizes.

One of the standout features of the Furuno 1932 MARK-2 is its high-resolution display. The 10.4-inch color LCD screen offers crystal-clear visuals, enabling mariners to easily interpret radar data. With the capability to display 16 different colors, users can customize their views for enhanced clarity, allowing for better discrimination between targets and clutter. Additionally, the unit incorporates adjustable gain and clutter control, giving operators the ability to fine-tune the radar image to suit varying conditions, whether in busy harbors or open waters.

The 1932 MARK-2 utilizes a powerful 2.2 kW magnetron, allowing for excellent range performance. It can effectively detect targets up to 36 nautical miles away, providing mariners with ample warning of potential hazards. This long-range capability is complemented by advanced target tracking technologies, including ARPA (Automatic Radar Plotting Aid). This system enables users to monitor and track multiple vessels simultaneously, providing essential information such as course, speed, and distance for better situational awareness.

In terms of technology, the Furuno 1932 MARK-2 includes a Fast Target Update feature. This allows for rapid refresh rates, ensuring that moving targets are accurately displayed, even in heavy traffic areas. The unit also employs advanced digital signal processing to filter out noise and improve target detection, enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Another key characteristic of the 1932 MARK-2 is its robust build quality. Designed to withstand the marine environment, the unit features a waterproof casing with an IP55 rating, ensuring durability against splashes and humidity. Furthermore, its compact design offers versatile mounting options, making it adaptable for various vessel configurations.

Overall, the Furuno 1932 MARK-2 radar system stands out for its blend of advanced technology, user-centric features, and rugged reliability. Its ability to provide clear and accurate radar imagery makes it an invaluable asset for navigators, enhancing safety and efficiency on the water. As an investment in maritime technology, it offers significant advantages to enhance both recreational and commercial navigation.
