ARP-10 (OPTION)
WARNING
Hazardous voltage can shock, burn, or cause death.
Only qualified personnel should work in the unit.
This auto plotter is not designed to replace the human eye nor make decisions for the navigator. It is intended for use as an aid to navigation. Always maintain a watch while underway. Data obtained from this auto plotter should always be double checked against other sources to verify the reliability of the data.
This auto plotter automatically tracks a acquired radar target and calculates its course and speed, indicating it by a vector. Since the data generated by this unit are based on what radar targets are selected, the radar must always be optimally tuned for use with it to ensure that required targets will not be lost or unwanted targets such as sea returns and noise will not be acquired and tracked.
A target echo does not always mean a landmass, reef, ships or other surface objects but can imply returns from sea surface or precipitation. As the level of these returns varies with environment, the operator is required to properly adjust the STC
NOTICE
The installation must be done by a FURUNO representative or suitably qualified radar technician.
Authorities require this.
Keep magnets and magnetic fields away from the equipment.
Magnetic fields will distort the picture and can cause equipment malfunction. Be sure the unit is well away from equipment which gives off magnetic fields (speaker, power transformer, etc.).
The following items affect calculation accuracy.
echo intensity
radar transmission pulsewidth radar bearing error gyrocompass error
own vessel or other vessel course change
Data for CPA, TCPA, etc. are approximations only. Always use data obtained prudently.
