3.28Radar
The radar has three parts:
•the scanner mounted on the superstructure
•the radar processor box
•the Radar screen on the 8000i
The radar is supplied with default settings, but you can customize many of these to suit your own preferences. See "Customize the radar screen" and "Optimize the quality of the radar display".
Some of these changes apply only to your Radar screen, but some apply to all the Radar screens in your vessel.
IMPORTANT: Before using the radar for the first time, some details must be set up so that the 8000i can configure it correctly. These details should have been set up by your 8000i installation technician, but if you need to change them see "Change the radar set up data".
3.29What are the radar modes?
There are four radar modes:
•Off. This saves on power consumption and magnetron usage.
•Warming. The radar is warming up. This can take 90 - 180 seconds, depending on your radar type, and an open array will rotate to face the bow.
•Standby. The radar is warmed up and is ready to start transmitting immediately.
•Transmitting. The radar is actively sending and receiving microwave radio pulses. An open array will be rotating.
If the radar is Off, it has to warm up and enter standby mode before you can start transmitting, so if you want to save on power but be able to start transmitting immediately, select Standby mode.
The Radar Mode button shows the current radar mode.
