User's Manual

7 MantaDigital may be used as stand-alone systems, or as part of an Integrated Bridge
System (IBS) or Integrated Navigation System (INS). A radar installation can comprise a
single stand-alone radar system or may include multiple radar systems with possibilities to
interswitch sensors and displays.
8 This manual contains information on all the operational features of the MantaDigital
Radar System. The operational features that are provided on individual systems may
vary according to the customer's requirements. Therefore, the Visual Display Unit, User
Interface, Processor Unit and Radar Sensor used on individual systems may not appear identical
to those shown in this manual. Where a particular feature is not active, that feature and associated
facilities will not be shown as a option in the menus or will be greyed out.
9 The MantaDigital Radar System is available as Radar only (MDP-A1) or as a Chart
Radar (MDP-A9).
10 KH3200, the Radar operating information manual, which is bound with KH2060,
provides the full operating procedures for the Radar software, and is applicable to all
systems, regardless of the hardware installation.
11 The MantaDigital Radar System consists of a combination of the following items:
(1) MantaDigital Radar Display, comprising a MantaDigital Widescreen Visual
Display Unit, a Processor Unit and a user interface (trackerball with optional
keyboard and/or optional MantaDigital Control Interface). The Visual Display
Unit is either Desk, Pedestal or Console mounted, and is available in two sizes
(520 mm (20") with a 258 mm diameter Radar Operational Area and 650 mm
(26") with a 328 mm diameter Radar Operational Area). The associated
Processor Unit is either bulkhead mounted or located in the same Pedestal as the
Visual Display Unit. Console mounted Visual Display Units have a separate
Trackerball Unit, and a separate optional keyboard or optional MantaDigital
Control Interface.
(2) Radar Sensor, available in S-Band (Mk7 and SharpEye
TM
) or X-Band (Mk4,
Mk5 and Mk7), comprising a Radar Transceiver, Turning Mechanism and
Antenna. The Mk7 S-Band is a magnetron radar, available in upmast or
downmast configuration, and also uses a Drive Control Unit. The SharpEye
TM
S-Band is a solid-state radar, available in upmast configuration only and also uses
a Drive Control Unit. The X-Band radar sensors are magnetron radars, available
in upmast configuration (Mk4 and Mk5) or downmast (Mk7) configuration, and
also use a Tx Interface Unit.
(3) Radar Interswitch Unit (RIU). This unit is used where more than one Radar
Sensor and/or more than one Radar Display are used on the system. It allows up to
6 Radar Sensors and 6 Radar Displays to be connected together, allowing each
Radar Display to select any of the Radar Sensors connected to the RIU for
viewing.
(4) Ergopod (optional), which is a remote control module, mounted on the end of a
chair arm, and allows the user to control the radar display functions from the chair
position rather than from the visual display unit position, this facility is normally
used in addition to the standard trackerball control.
