Introduction

The main features of KODEN color LCD radar MDC-900 series are as follows.

• The high performance radar equipped with 8.4 inch color TFT LCD display can be used for professional use.

• Since, in the true trail function, moving targets such as other ships are displayed with tail and stationary targets such as land are displayed with fix, the moving targets and fixed targets can be easily distinguished.

• Two screen images with different ranges can be displayed. If you set both short range and long range, you can navigate the ship properly and grasp at the situation.

• The automatic tracking aid (ATA) function is provided. The maximum 50 targets can be tracked. The current movement of other ships can be shown with a vector and numeral value. It helps your safety navigation. (Option)

• By connecting the AIS receiver, the collected information such as name, heading and speed of a ship can be displayed. (AIS interface: Option)

• With the adoption of a specific filter (AR coat), an image can be seen more clearly against direct sunlight. AR coat is also effective to the countermeasure against condensation.

• The RGB output for an external monitor is provided as standard equipment. The use of an external monitor enables you to observe easily the radar screen at a location away from a main unit. (External monitor: Owner supplied)

• A video from a CCD camera can be displayed. Observation of the engine room by CCD camera helps your ship navigate safely. (CCD camera: Owner supplied)

• Easy operation with dedicated control knobs for GAIN and STC.

• Water protection, IPX5 of the display enables the use of the bridge.

• At the time of flush-mounting installation, you can easily fix and remove from front side of the display.

Chapter 3 Maintenance

3.1 Maintenance and Cleaning To operate the radar equipment in a good condition for a long period of time, perform the inspection and cleaning periodically.

3.1.1 Monthly Inspection

Caution:

Do not turn on the power of the radar duringinspection.

(1) When the screen is dirty, the images will become faint. For cleaning of the display panel, use a soft and clean cloth impregnated with diluted mild detergent for wiping off. Please be careful not to cause abrasion on the surface because it is delicate. Thinner shall not be applied.

(2) For cleaning of housing, do not use plastics solvent such as thinner or alcohol. Coating on the

surfaces and characters on control part may be dissolved. Wipe off with soft dry cloth after having cleaned with soft clean cloth impregnated with diluted mild detergent.

(3) Check for that the radiation surface of the antenna is not dirtied by soot. Dip a soft cloth into water

or soap water, wring lightly and wipe the antenna with the cloth. Check for damage and paint sticking.

Note: Before performing the maintenance and inspection of the radome antenna, thread a string through the hole of radome (upper) as illustrated next page and hang it up.

Caution Never use a thinner solvent. The filter surface will be chemically decomposed, resulting in the loss of the transparency.
