Setup and configuration
Setup and configuration of the Halo Radar has been simplified compared to traditional pulse
radars. There is no zero range adjustment (time delay), no warm up time and no burn in
required.
Make the following settings before use. Refer to the documentation supplied with your
display unit to locate the settings to be adjusted.
Adjust bearing alignment
Aligns the heading marker on the screen with the center line of the vessel. This ensures that
MARPA targets and bearings taken with the EBL are displayed accurately.
Antenna height adjustment
The antenna height is the height of the antenna above the water line. Ensure the antenna
height is set correctly, as it affects the sea clutter function. Do not set the height to zero.
Sector blanking
Used to stop the radar transmitting in the direction of structures that could cause unwanted
reflections or interference to appear on the radar image. Four sectors can be set, the bearing
of which is measured from the bow of the vessel to the center line of the sector.
Sidelobe suppression
¼
Note:
This control should only be adjusted by experienced radar users. Target loss in harbor
environments may occur if this control is not adjusted correctly.
By default this control is set to Auto. Increase the suppression if there are false targets
appearing as arcs radiating from either side of an actual target (typically large structures such
as steel ships, container wharves, and large buildings).
Halo light
¼ Note:
Only available for and Halo24 Radars.
Determines the light level of the LED accent light.
