Care of the system’s components

Routine maintenance work

Care of the components of the radar system is limited to occasional cleaning of the screens on the moni-
tors. This should be done with a soft cloth moistened with alcohol.

The ship’s personnel must regularly carry out the following maintenance work:

If conditions are normal, this work should be done once every 3 months. If the environment is particularly
dusty, it should be done more frequently, and if the air contains very little dust, it can be done less
frequently.

1.

Taking out the filter pad: It is situated on the top of the display electronics unit, and can be gripped
and pulled out by its front left-hand corner without unscrewing the covering cap. 

☞

If the display electronics unit is installed in the console, the hinged cover situated below the
operating unit must first be opened.

2.

Cleaning the filter pad: Cleaning can be done by washing in soapy water, or by blowing the dust
out with compressed air, or - depending on the degree of dirtiness - simply by beating the dust out.

3.

Inserting the filter pad: When inserting the filter pad, which must have been dried (if necessary, by
jolting it thoroughly to get the water out of it), make certain that it is seated properly.

The test described in 

 should be performed at the beginning of every sea voyage, and once a

week during the voyage.
