When exchanging the display unit of the
MODEL 1621/1621 MARK-2 with that of the
MODEL 1622, it is necessary to maintain the

3. Adjust the sensitivity to display a small
amount of noise on the screen.
4. Press the [–] key several times to select
the minimum range. Adjust the STC to
display nearby radar targets clearly on the
screen. Too much STC action will eliminate
small targets, and too little STC action will
cause the screen to be so full of targets
and noise that it is hard to determine which
target is which as compared to visual
sightings.

2) Heading alignment
You have mounted the antenna unit facing
straight ahead in the direction of the bow.
Therefore, a small but conspicuous target dead
ahead visually should appear on the heading
mark (zero degrees).

Therefore, a small but conspicuous target dead
ahead visually should appear on the heading
mark (zero degrees).
In practice, you will probably observe some
small error on the display because of the
difficulty in achieving accurate initial positioning
of the antenna unit. The following adjustment
will compensate for this error, up to ±30
degrees.
