Furuno RP-250 manual Operational Overview, General

1 OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

1.1General

The Video Plotter RP-250 is an optional circuit board (RP board) which is accommodated in the display unit of the FR-2105 series radar. It permits use of two memory cards, a memory card (RAM card) for storing own ship and other ship tracks and marks, and the other is a chart card (ROM card) for digital charts.

With connection of an AIS (Universal Automatic Identification System) transponder to the RP board, the RP-250 provides navigation data about targets which carry an AIS transponder.

30 navigation lines may be stored and each line may contain up to 30 waypoints. Five nav lines may be simultaneously shown on the display. 100 waypoints are available. The user may enter position data in waypoints 01-98. (Waypoint 00 is for own ship position when destination is set; waypoint 99 is for waypoint from external equipment.) Own ship and other ship tracks may be stored at a selected interval.

Charts are superimposed on the radar picture without disturbing the radar observation. The chart area is dependent on the radar range in use. The RP-250 comes in two versions: FURUNO/NAVIONICS and FURUNO/C-MAP.
