How can the radar help me avoid a collision?

You can set up your C-Series Display to sound an alarm when anything comes within a pre-set range of

the boat. This will allow you to take any necessary action to avoid a collision.

Guard zones

A sector or circular zone fixed with respect to the Ships Heading Marker (SHM). As the SHM moves or if

the centre is offset, or the range scale changes the zone moves accordingly.

MARPA

This function is used to track and analyse the risk of collision of up to ten individual targets.

What does a guard zone displayed?

SHMSHM

IMPORTANT:

A guard zone will only operate when a whole zone is displayed on the screen, or is displayed by offsetting the centre. A guard zone is also inactive for 10 seconds after it is placed or re- sized, to avoid inappropriate alarms.
