Figure 2.1

Simplified block diagram

TX
The trigger pulse from the SPU (Processor) Board is delivered to the MODULATOR Board
which outputs the signal to oscillate the magnetron, and then radar wave is emitted from the
radiator.
RX
The 9.4 GHz echo signal received by the antenna is converted to 60 MHz signal by the MIC,
amplified by IF Amplifier, and fed to the SPU (Processor) Board as a video signal. It is digitally
processed and then displayed on the CRT. The SPU Board contains a video amplifier.
Auto Plotter (optional)
The following signals are applied from the SPU Board to the ARP-26 Board: Heading, Bearing
pulse, Video, Trigger, Bearing in AD format, and Ships speed in IEC-61162. Target acquision
and tracking are performed on the ARP Board, and displayed on the CRT. Target data includes
target position, CPA, TCPA, Speed, and Course.
Plotter (optional)
Data such as latitude and longitude in IEC-61162 format is delivered from the SPU Board to the
RP Board. Plotter data generated on the RP board is output to the SPU Board and processed to
display them on the screen. The plotter menu is generated on the SPU Board.

Start-up Sequence
Radar start-up sequence

Process
1. The soft start circuit activates to protect the power ON/OFF
relay contacts.
2. The input voltage monitor checks for abnormal voltage.
When ships mains is abnormal the ON/OFF relay trips off.
3. The inverter comes on and outputs all line voltages. The
LED comes on and the inverter goes off when overcurrent
is detected.
4. ROM, RAM, I/O port, custom IC, AGDC and VRAM are
initialized.
5. The system is initialized using EEPROM and DIP switch
data.
6. The timer starts counting down from 3 minutes (time
remaining for warm-up of magnetron).
7. Checks for the absence/presence of a gyro signal.
8. Checks for the absence/presence of the ARP and RP
Boards.
9. The SPU Board starts operating.
Note) When H-sync signal is not applied to the CRT unit,
no HV is generated, resulting in nothing on the screen.
10. The bearing scale, countdown indication, etc. appear.
11. The screen is degaussed automatically.
3-minute warm-up can be skipped by pressing [ENTER]
several times while pressing and holding down [HL
OFF]. (Do not release this information to user.)
12. Three-minute warm-up ends.
13. The radar goes into stand-by.
14. Checks for the presence of the BP (Bearing Pulse) signal.
15. The tuning circuit goes into short search mode.
16. When the range is changed, the tuning circuit goes into
short search mode.
17. Panel settings are written onto the EEPROM.
18. Time data are written onto the EEPROM.

Auto Tuning Function

The system provides auto tuning mode which eliminates the adjustment of the receiver for
maximum echoes. The Tune Initialization is required after not only the installation but also the
replacement of RF unit, magnetron, MIC, and SPU board, so that the tune control voltages for
each pulse are memorized onto the EEPROM. The figure below illustrates how the tune
initialization takes place. First, full search is performed using a long pulse to find the tuning
point (a). Next, short search is performed using all pulses to find tuning points (b). After the
initialization, the pulselength used before the tune initialization is selected.
Full search: Varying tune control voltage (TUNE CONT) from about 5 V to 30 V, the
maximum tune indicator voltage is found and that tune control voltage (a) is
memorized.
Short search: The tune control voltage changes between the tune voltage (a) plus and minus
2.5 V for fine tuning.
When the radar is set from ST-BY to TX, short search is made twice. When the pulselength is
changed, short search is made once.

Tuning Indication
The tuning indicator extends more than 80% of its full length on all ranges at best tuning. The
self-test result display reads the tune indicator voltage.

Manual Tuning
When tuning mode is changed from auto to manual mode, the tuning control voltage (a) found in
full search is selected. In manual tuning mode, the graphical tuning control voltage indicator
appears under the tuning indicator. The minimum scale is 2 V and the maximum scale is 32 V.

Echo averaging (EAV 1/2/3)

Remarks on the echo-averaging feature
Echo averaging is a useful feature when used properly. If used improperly, however, the
result could be disastrous.
Objective and principle of echo averaging
The main objective of echo averaging is to discriminate targets (flocks of birds, other ships,
fishing floats, etc.) hidden in sea clutter, and stably display long range targets (ship, buoy,
island, etc.) which alternately appear and disappear on the screen.
Normally, unstable echoes such as those from sea clutter and noise appear at random
positions with every rotation of the antenna. To distinguish real target echoes from clutter, the
picture is stored and averaged over successive picture frames. If an echo is solid and stable it
is shown in its actual intensity. Unstable echoes are reduced in intensity.
The following illustrates how echo averaging EAV 1/2/3 work.

The SPU board produces the antenna on/off signal. The PWR board monitors the number of the bearing pulse from the scanner unit and
changes motor control voltage to maintain the constant speed of antenna rotation. The voltage between #1/#2 and #3/#4 of J103 is about
30 VDC with the scanner unit disconnected.

Check of ARP and RP board Connection

The system checks the connection of the ARP and RP board every power on. If the CPU on the
SPU board fails to communicate with the ARPA or RP board, the related display does not appear
on the screen, but also the ARP and/or RP line is not displayed on the self-test result display.

ARP-23 vs. ARP-26

The ARP-26 uses the latest hardware of the ARP-23 for FR-2100 series radars, 18P9002-2
having U44 of 18S9007. The boards level 1 and 2 having U44 of 18S9001 cannot be used for
ARP-26. The software has been changed to improve the performance.
The major functional differences are;
1)

Operational with 42 rpm scanner unit (ARP-23: 36 rpm)

2)

Scenario in compliance with HSC performance standards (no scenario)

3)

A maximum of 3 reference targets (one target)

4)

Variable width of automatic acquisition area from 0.5 to 1.0 nm (0.5 nm fixed )

5)

Guard zone alarm for both inward and outward violations (inward only)

6)

Vector display time selectable either after 1 min. or within 20 scans (after 1 min.)

7)

VBW and VHW speed data in IEC-61162-1 acceptable (not acceptable)

8)

TCPA having a minus sign when the ship already passed through the CPA. (always plus)

9)

ARPA target acquisition and Tracking

1. Conditions for manual acquisition
The target can be acquired manually under the following conditions.
1) An echo from target must be received for three consecutive sweeps and scans within the acquisition
area.
2) The target echo must be smaller than the and echo data (at the front end processor).
3) A target must be within the acquisition area : 0.2 to 32 nm.
4) The ARPA can acquire 30 targets. All 30 may be acquired manually, or 10 manually and 20 automatically.
5) No signal error (TRIG, HD, BP, VIDEO, gyro) shall be detected.

2. Conditions for automatic acquisition

The target can be acquired manually under the following conditions.
1) An echo from target must be received for three consecutive sweeps, and seven consecutive scans
within the acquisition area.
2) The target echo must be smaller than land echo data (at the front end processor).
3) The target must be within acquisition area: 0.1 to 32 nm (or 24 nm) depending on initial setting.
Target echoes behind a land echo within the acquisition area cannot be acquired automatically.
4) 20 targets can be automatically acquired.
5) No signal error (TRIG, HD, BP, VIDEO, gyro) shall be detected.

3. Automatic tracking
1) A tracked target is judged as a lost target when no return is received for nine consecutive scans.
When the system detects a lost target, LOST TARGET appears on the display and the ARPA
symbol blinks.
2) A lost target will be reacquired and tracked when acquisition condition again becomes satisfactory.
3) Automatic tracking is discontinued when the target moves out of the acquisition range (less than 0.1
nm or greater than 32 nm).
4) An acquired and tracked target which moves behind a land echo will be declared as a lost target.

ARPA Land Discrimination

A target is recognized as a landmark and not acquired if it is bigger than the preset value in range
or bearing direction. The preset value is entered though the ARPA Initial setting menu.

ARPA INITIAL SETTING Menu

(Keying sequence : [PLOT MENU] [0] [0])

TARGET SELECT
Selected is minimum size of target echoes which will be judged as land.
An echo judged as land cannot be acquired manually or automatically nor is lost target
status generated. This discrimination is especially necessary on the S-band radar where the
horizontal beamwidth is greater than that of the X-band radar.
The settings and their specifications are as follows :
0 : Greater than 600 meters
1 : Greater than 800 meters
2 : Greater than 1200 meters
3 : Greater than 1600 meters
4 : No limit
QV SELECT
Requires no local adjustment; however, it judges whether an echo is land or not by painting
echoes in varying intensity or color. To enable QV SELECT, remove jumper JP11 on the
18P9002 board:
0 : All echoes painted brown (same as QV on previous radars)
1 : Brown color (non-land echoes) Yellow color (land echoes, azimuth direction)
2 : Brown color (non-land echoes) Yellow color (land echoes and target echoes behind
land echoes)
3 : Brown color (all echoes) Yellow color (leading and trailing edges of all echoes)

Block Diagram of RP Board

The RP System program is stored on the flash POM, U3 and the program update is performed by
using the program card. The card must be inserted into the upper slot.
The CR1 on the RP board lights when the program is replaced with new one.
RP marks are generated in the following VRAMs or frames on the RP board respectively, and
sent to the SPU board.
1) Track, Mark, and Depth line, etc.;
Uses frames 1 (R:U51), 2 (G:U52) and 3 (B:U53)
2) Grid; uses frames 3 (U53) and 4 (U50)
3) Counter line, and coated land area; uses frame 5 (U49)
Note that waypoint and nav line data is memorized by the SPU board.

Power Supply Circuit (DC)

DC PWR Board (03P9246)
The PWR board contains a main-inverter, a sub-inverter, and protectors. The main-inverter
produces +24 V and +32 V (for scanner motor), while the sub-inverter produces 12 V, +12 V,
+32 V, and +140 V from +24 V, output of the main-inverter. +5 V is generated by chopping +24
V. Power fail (P.F.) signal generator outputs High signal normally and Low signal when the
main-inverter fails. +24 V is adjusted by VR51.
Main-inverter:
With the POWER switch pressed, +12 V regulator, Q1 turns on, and over- and low-voltage
protectors and switching regulator controller are powered up. The protector U1 activates when
ships main is lower than 19.5 VDC and higher than 42 to 46 VDC. The switching frequency is
adjusted by VR1.
Sub-inverter:
The sub-inverter produces 12 V, +12 V, +32 V, and +140 V from +24 V, the output of the
main-inverter. These lines are not stabilized, but the +24 V line is stabilized by the main-inverter.
The switching frequency is adjusted by VR71.
Protector:
Over-current detector U91in the scanner motor power line (ANT MOTOR line) activates when
the current is 6 A or more for 0.8 seconds. The short circuit protector U72 operates when +140 V
line is short-circuited. The output from the U72 is latched by Q33 and then send to the switching
regulator controller U11.
Power for Scanner Motor:
Rectified +32 VDC is applied to the scanner motor through the ANT MOTOR line, MOTOR(+)
and MOTOR(-). The F/V (Frequency to Voltage) converter U93 receives bearing pulses (BP)
from the scanner unit and outputs DC signal depending on the frequency received. The
comparator Q94 compares the output of the F/V converter with the antenna speed data, 24 rpm
or 42 rpm. If the antenna speed is lower or higher than the rating, the comparator outputs the
signal to control the scanner motor supply voltage. Thus, the motor rotates stably.
The VR91 adjusts the antenna rotation to 24 rpm (no adjuster for 42 rpm). The number of the
antenna rotation can be read on the self-test menu.
The table below summarizes how to select the antenna speed data.

AC PWR Board (03P9245)
The PWR board contains a main-inverter, a sub-inverter, and protectors. The main-inverter
produces +24 V and +32 V (for scanner motor), while the sub-inverter produces 12 V, +12 V,
+32 V, and +140 V from +24 V, output of the main-inverter. +5 V is generated by chopping
+24V. Power fail (P.F.) signal generator outputs High signal normally and Low signal
when the main-inverter fails. The RP data is backed-up when the P.F. signal is received. +24 V is
adjusted by VR51.
Main-inverter:
With the POWER switch pressed, +12 V regulator, Q1 turns on, and over-voltage and lowvoltage protector, relay drive circuit, and switching regulator controller are powered up. The
protector U1 activates when ships main is lower than 85 VAC and higher than 135 to 150 VAC.
If ships mains is higher than 135 to 150 VAC, the relay in the input line, K1 is turned off by the
signal from the protector U1, and no power is supplied to the main-inverter. The switching
frequency is adjusted by VR1. A rush current protector Q1 and R2 prevents rush current from
being flow into smoothing capacitors C11 and C12. When the smoothing capacitors are charged
to the rated voltage, the main inverter starts oscillating. The output of the T1 turns on triac Q1
and the R2 10 ohms, 5 W is short-circuited. Ships mains 110 VAC or 220 VAC is jumper
selectable as show in the table below. Smoothing capacitors C11 and C12 are charged by 100 to
170 VDC respectively. +5 V is generated from 24 V by a chopper IC.

General
New cast aluminum scanner gearbox and new series of streamlined antenna are employed on the
FR-2115 and FR-2125 radars. These are not compatible with the traditional Furuno scanner
gearbox and radiator used for a long period. The mounting dimensions are remained unchanged.
Radiator
A feeder waveguide is built-in the radiator XN-12 AF, XN-20 AF and XN-24 AF for easeinstallation. The XN-20 AF and XN-24 AF are the same electrical characteristic with XN-3 A
and XN-4 A respectively.
Gear Box
The mounting dimensions, the size of the gear box, and cabling layout have not been changed
from the traditional Furuno radars. Changed is the radiator mounting bracket for a new radiator.
The gear box can be equipped with a motor of either 24 rpm or 42 rpm type.
RF Unit
The 10 kW and 25 kW RF units are the same in size. The magnetron of 25 kW is a new type,
smaller in size. The RF modulator generates short pulse 1 (S1) which has pulselength of 0.07 us
and pulse repetition rate of 3000 Hz. Traditionally, the S1 is 0.08 us and 2200 Hz.
The magnetron current monitor circuit ensures a defective magnetron being found easily. When
the magnetron is short- or open-circuited, the magnetron current detector reads 1 to 1.5 V.

Chapter 3. ADJUSTMENT

Hazardous Voltage
This equipment uses high voltage electricity which can SHOCK, BURN
or cause DEATH.
Always make sure the electrical power is turned off before attempting to
change a component or inspecting the inside of the equipment. A
residual charge may exist in capacitors, even with the equipment turned
off. Always short all supply lines to the chassis with an insulated
screwdriver or a similar tool before touching the circuit.
Working on the Scanner Unit Mast
Work on the scanner unit mast is dangerous, and doubly so if the proper
precautions are not taken.
1. Post an appropriate warning sign near the display unit to indicate that
work on the scanner unit is being performed, to prevent accidental
application of the power to the scanner unit.
2. Wear a safety helmet and always be aware of where the scanner
radiator is.

Chapter 4. MAINTENACE

Hazardous Voltage
This equipment uses high voltage electricity which can SHOCK, BURN or
cause DEATH.
Always make sure the electrical power is turned off before attempting to
change a component or inspecting the inside of the equipment. A
residual charge may exist in capacitors, even with the equipment turned
off. Always short all supply lines to the chassis with an insulated
screwdriver or a similar tool before touching the circuit.

Working on the Scanner Unit Mast

Work on the scanner unit mast is dangerous, and doubly so if the proper
precautions are not taken.
1. Post an appropriate warning sign near the display unit to indicate that
work on the scanner unit is being performed, to prevent accidental
application of the power to the scanner unit.
2. Wear a safety helmet and always be aware of where the scanner
radiator is.

Description of the self-test result display

1) When the ARP and RP boards are not installed, related lines are shown by Xs.
2) RAM card will be NG if the card is inserted after power-up.
3) RP BOARD BAT: Checks the voltage of the battery on the RP board. NG will appear when
the battery drops to less than 2.65 V. The capacity of a new battery is about 3.6 V.
4) CARD1 BAT/CARD 2 BAT: The capacity of the battery inside the card is checked.
5) ANTENNA SPEED: Set the radar to TX. 0 (zero) is indicated in STBY mode.
6) TRIG FREQ: Set the radar to TX and stop the antenna rotation.
7) MAG CURRENT*: Reference only. The value is not actual magnetron current. If the radar
is normal, the value increases when the radar is set from STBY to TX.
8) R. MONITOR* Reference only. This checks regulated +5 V for MIC. If 0 V, it is abnormal.
9) TUNE IND*: Reference only. If the radar is normal, the value increases when the radar is
set from STBY to TX. The defective magnetron or MIC is expected if the value is low at
TX.
10) *: Service call with these readings may help the technician to prepare necessary spare parts.

Keyboard Test
Pressing a key highlights the corresponding location on the display screen.
The STBY TX key is pressed in the end.

4.5 Notice on Replacing Major Parts

MAGNETRON
NOTE) The magnetron emits a strong magnetic field. For this season, remove a
wrist watch before performing the replacement and use a non-magnetic
screwdriver to dismount the magnetron.
The estimated life of the magnetron is 2000 hours, (including time in stand-by), however actual
life depends on usage.
1. Turn off the power.
2. Dismount the transceiver module.
3. Dismount and replace the magnetron.
4. When a new magnetron is fitted, turn on the power and measure magnetron current. See
Chapter 3 for heater voltage rating, and potentiometer to be adjusted.
5. Allow at least 30 minutes under ST-BY for pre-heating.
6. Transmit on a long range and measure magnetron current. Readjust magnetron current if
necessary.
7. Allow at least 30 minutes under TX for frequency stabilization.
8. Tune the radar : Press [RADAR MENU] [0] [0] [2] [0] [0] [0] [0] and [ENT].
9. Reset

TX Hoursand
On Hourson the INSTALLATION SETUP menu.

MIC
The MIC can be replaced individually. However, the replacement should be made inside the
room where no radar signal is received. The Tune Initialization must be made after the
replacement.

SPU Board
Settings of the MAIN and INSTALLATION menus are stored onto EEPROM U10 on the SPU
Board.
Remove the U10 on a old board and replace it with one on the new board. The Tune
Initialization must be made after the replacement.
