Furuno FAR-2157 Adjusting Sweep Timing, Examples of correct and incorrect sweep timings

3.3 Adjusting Sweep Timing

Sweep timing differs with respect to the length of the signal cable between the antenna unit and the processor unit. Adjust sweep timing to prevent the following symptoms:

•The echo of a "straight" target (for example, pier), on the 0.25 m range, will appear on the dis- play as being pulled inward or pushed outward. See the figure below.

•The range of target echoes will also be incorrectly shown.

(1) Correct	(2) Target pushed	(3) Target pushed
	inward	outward

2.Adjust the radar picture controls to display picture properly.

3.Select a target echo which should be displayed straightly.

4.On the ECHO ADJ menu, choose 4 TIMING ADJ.
