6. MAINTENANCE, TROUBLESHOOTING

6-7

Cannot operate radar
from on-screen boxes

MAIN board - inside the Pro-
cessor unit.

Replace MAIN board.

Radar is properly tuned
but poor sensitivity

1) Deteriorated magnetron

2) Detuned MIC

3) Dirt on radiator face
4) Water ingress to the

waveguide or other feed-
er line

5) Second trace echo rejec-

tion is ON

1) With the radar transmitting on 48 nm

range, check magnetron current. If
current is below normal, magnetron
may be defective. Replace it.

2) Check MIC detecting current. If it is be-

low normal value, MIC may have be-
come detuned. MIC must be tuned.

3) Clean the radiator surface.
4) Remove water from the feeder line.

5) Disable the second-trace echo rejector

referring to section 1.29.

Range changed but ra-
dar picture not chang-
ing

1) Defective range key

2) SPU board inside the an-

tenna.

3) Video freeze up

1) Adjust the range with the control unit,

or the [RANGE] box several times. If
unsuccessful, replacement of keypad
may be required.

2) Replace SPU board.
3) Turn off and on radar.

Interference rejector is
inoperative (interfer-
ence rejection level not
displayed)

SPU board inside the anten-
na.

Replace SPU board.

Echo stretch is ineffec-
tive (neither ES1, ES2
nor ES3 is displayed)

SPU board inside the anten-
na.

Replace SPU board.

Range rings are not
displayed

1) Adjust the brilliance of

range rings on the BRILL
menu to see if intensity is
increased

2) MAIN board

1) Replace associated circuit board if un-

successful.

2) Replace MAIN board.

Poor discrimination in
range

Sea clutter control not func-
tioning properly

Improper setting of A/C SEA. If A/C SEA is
seen only at very close range, suspect in-
accurate frequency of reference oscillator.

True motion orientation
not working correctly

1) Incorrect menu setting

2) Speed entry incorrect

3) TM display inaccurate

1) Referring to section 1.30, select TM

orientation mode.

2) Enter correct own ship speed referring

to section 1.12.

3) Make sure that speed and compass in-

puts are accurate.

Target not tracked cor-
rectly

Poor definition of targets in
sea clutter

Adjust A/C SEA and A/C RAIN referring to
section 1.20 and section 1.21.

Buttons on trackball
module operated but
no response

Trackball module

Replace trackball module.

Picture is not updated
with each sweep.

Motor/gears

Check the motor and gears. Replace if
worn.
