RayTech Navigator User’s Guide 5 - 2 The hsb 2 Series Pathfinder Plus Radar system includes the following: • Range scales: 1/8nm to 24nm up to 72nm (scanner - dependent).
Advanced Navigator Functions 5 - 3 Displaying the Radar Screen Data from your Pathfinder PLUS Radar can be repeated in a separate RayTech Navigator window or overlaid on a chart. To display radar data in a separate window: 1. Make sure the radar is operational and correctly conne cted to the PC.
RayTech Navigator User’s Guide 5 - 4 Displaying the Control Panel You can display a Control Panel dialog box on the outside of the radar window, which enables you to modify a number of radar settings. To display th e Control Panel: 1. From within the Radar Window, click the right mouse button.
Advanced Navigator Functions 5 - 5 Using the Pathfinder Panel Toolbar The Pathfinder Panel is a special toolbar that simulates the functions of the buttons of the hsb 2 Series Radar and Fishfinder display units. When one of the buttons is pressed, the associated soft key functions appear in the function bar below.
RayTech Navigator User’s Guide 5 - 6 Using the Range Control The radar display can be viewed at various scales by using the range (zoom) control . The shortest range scale gives a maximum range of 1/8 nautical miles, measured from the default center to the top of the radar picture.
Advanced Navigator Functions 5 - 7 The Standard Range Scale Details of the standard ranges are shown in the table below. Y ou can also customize the range scales by specifying different ranges. Radar Range Scales Maximum Range (nm) Number of Range Rings Range Ring Interval (nm) 0.
RayTech Navigator User’s Guide 5 - 8 Determining Actual Radar Range The actual maximum radar range is esse ntially line - of - sight, and is limited by the height of the scanner and the height of the target as shown below lists some range examples: Radar Range Antenna Height (m) Target Height (m) Maximum Range (nm) 3 3 7.
Advanced Navigator Functions 5 - 9 Interpreting and Adjusting the Radar Pictu re Navigational echoes may be large, small, bright or faint, depending not only on the size of the object but also on its orientation and surface. Different objects reflect the radar signals in different ways.
RayTech Navigator User’s Guide 5 - 10 Controls t o Adjust the Radar Picture Control Option Function Default Setting GAIN GAIN SEA RAIN FTC Controls the strength of the target returns Reduces sea ret.
Advanced Navigator Functions 5 - 11 Side Lobes A small part of the RF energy from each transmitted pulse is radiated outside the single narrow beam. This produces side lobe patterns, shown in Figu re 5 - 2 .
RayTech Navigator User’s Guide 5 - 12 Multiple Echoes Multiple echoes (Figure 5 - 4) appear if there is a large target with a wide vertical surface at a comparatively short range. The transmitted signal will be reflected back and forth between the target and your own ship.
Advanced Navigator Functions 5 - 13 Radar Gain Cont rol The Gain control adjusts the level of the display of signals received from the scanner; it is equivalent to a volume control on a radio. The Gain control can be set either to Auto or Manual modes.
RayTech Navigator User’s Guide 5 - 14 4. If you select Manual mode, the arrow control buttons appear. Use the up/down arrows to increase/decrease the Manual Gain. Important: Because the changes to the settings are made immedia tely, you cannot revert to the previous setting by clicking CLEAR .
Advanced Navigator Functions 5 - 15 Note: On short range scales, do not set the Sea Clutter control so high that all clutter is removed, since this could prevent you from seeing close - echo targets. The SEA control can be set to Auto - Harbor (default), Auto - Offshore or Manual mode.
RayTech Navigator User’s Guide 5 - 16 R ain Clutter Control The radar can see echoes from rain or snow. Returns from storm areas and rain squalls consist of countless small echoes that continuously change size, intensity, and position (Figure 5 - 6) .
Advanced Navigator Functions 5 - 17 If you turn the RAIN or FTC control Off (equivalent to setting the level to 0%), the actual setting is stored, and restored when you turn the control on again. Keep in mind however, that RAIN and FTC are reset to Off at power - on.
RayTech Navigator User’s Guide 5 - 18 Tuning the Receiver T he TUNE control is used to fine - tune the receiver in the scanner for maximum target returns on the display. In Auto mode, the radar tunes itself automatically on all range scales. Raymarine recommend s that you leav e the TUNE control in Auto mode.
Advanced Navigator Functions 5 - 19 Changing the Target Display The Pathfinder PLUS Radar allows you to improve target visibility by changing the following: • Interference rejection ( In Rej ) • Target expansion ( Expansion ) • Target wakes ( Wakes ) These controls are accessed from the Functionbar Target s Button.
RayTech Navigator User’s Guide 5 - 20 Interference Reje ction Mutual radar interference is likely when two or more radar - equipped vessels are operating within range of each other. This usually appears as a series of small dots moving to and from the display center in a straight line or a long, sweeping curve ( Figure 5 - 7) .
Advanced Navigator Functions 5 - 21 Target Wakes You can see the direction and speed with which t argets are moving relative to your vessel by selecting the target wakes display option.
RayTech Navigator User’s Guide 5 - 22 Note: When using VRM/EBL , you may want to turn off the range rings to make the VRMs clearer. To do this, use the Color control in the Control Panel to change the color of the range rings to the same color as the background.
Advanced Navigator Functions 5 - 23 Measuring Range an d B earing to Target f rom Vessel To measure the range and/or bearing of a target or point from your vessels position, you need to place a VRM/EBL and move it so that it crosses the target or point for which you require the bearing or range.
RayTech Navigator User’s Guide 5 - 24 Moving a VRM/EBL You can control VRM/EBL separately or together. To move a VRM or EBL: 1. Click the VRM/EBL button on the Pathfinder Panel. 2. Click the button that corresponds to what you want to modify: VRM/EB L 1 or VRM/EB L 2 .
Advanced Navigator Functions 5 - 25 Placing Marks The Marks function allows you to pla ce a mark anywhere on the radar screen . Radar marks are not the same as chart waypoints and cannot be used in routes, nor can they be transferred to other displays.
RayTech Navigator User’s Guide 5 - 26 Introduction to MARPA The hsb 2 Series displays include a Mi ni Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) function for target tracking and risk analysis. MARPA improves the standard of collision avoidance by obtaining detailed information for several automatically tracked targets.
Advanced Navigator Functions 5 - 27 Symptoms of such conditions are that acquisition is difficult and the MARPA vectors are unstable; the symbol wanders away from the target, locks onto another target or changes to a lost target symbol.
RayTech Navigator User’s Guide 5 - 28 Figure 5 - 9 . Radar Target Symbol Key Target Vector and History The MARPA targets can be displayed with a vector line showing where they will be at a certain time in the future, (assuming present course and speed).

When one of the buttons are pressed, the associated function buttons appear in the Sonar Function bar.
RayTech Navigator User’s Guide 5 - 34 Fish Indications When the Fishfinder detects a fish, it displays an arch - shaped mark. In general, a larger arch indicates a larger fish, though this is not always true. For example, if there are two fish of the same size: one is close to the surface, the other is near the bottom.
Advanced Navigator Functions 5 - 35 Effect of Frequency and Boat Speed The return from a fish has a different appearance depending on the frequency used: 50k Hz produces a wide beam, so a fish spotted by this frequency gives a broad arch; the 200 kHz beam is narrower so the same fish produces a narrower arch.
RayTech Navigator User’s Guide 5 - 36 Figure 5 - 12 . Sonar Target Bottom Indicators Depth Target ID You can select wh ether or not the depth appears for displayed fish echoes. When Target Depth ID is set to ON, the depth is displayed just above each fish echo.
