INSTALLATION OF UPMAST X-BAND TRANSCEIVER CAE-A12-20 (25kW) GENERAL 8The Upmast Transceiver comprises a casting with two cover plates. Both cover plates are secured by four bolts and may be removed to access the motor and transceiver PCBs mounted within. The PCBs are secured to mounting plates which form a safety cage whilst in the closed position. FITTING 9The Upmast Transceiver should be installed in such a position to avoid any RF interference and where Blind Arcs, caused by obstructions, e.g. masts, funnels, etc, are eliminated or minimised. Funnels, crosstrees and other large obstructions can also reflect energy and give rise to spurious echo returns, especially in close proximity to land. 10The Upmast Transceiver must not be mounted where the temperature exceeds 70 o C. 11The Upmast Transceiver must be kept clear of ship’s flexible communication antennas to avoid damage to both. 12The Upmast Transceiver must be mounted more than 914mm above any flat surface, when the flat surface is greater than the diameter swept by the antenna. 13The Upmast Transceiver must not be positioned in the close proximity of any magnetic compass or D/F antenna, etc. NOTEA heavy duty earthing strap or cable must be taken from the upmast transceiver/turning mechanism to the ship’s earth. 14Position the Upmast Transceiver at the installation site, supporting the unit where necessary, and mark out the mounting holes for drilling. Refer to Figure 1 for dimensions. 15Allow sufficient cable length, (approximately 1m) on all cables to enable them to be routed through the Transceiver unit. Refer to Figures 2 and 4 for details. Ensure that there is sufficient slack on all cables to allow for full movement of the equipment on its mounts during any sudden shock, or extreme movement of the vessel. WARNING THE UNIT MUST NOT BE LIFTED BY MEANS OF THE ANTENNA OR WING CASTING. THE LIFTING SUPPORTS MUST GO UNDER THE CASTING.

Figure 7 shows a typical arrangement with the MkIV transceiver connected to the NUCLEUS 3 Display, via the Radar Interface Unit (RIU). Ensure that all cables are secured to their associated entry point and that screened cables are earthed to their respective units. 19Connecting cables between the display and the transceiver should be limited to a length of 65 metres. Where the distance between transceiver and display exceeds 65 metres, special low loss co-axial cable should be used. Where the distance between transceiver and display exceeds 180 metres, special low loss co-axial cable, and line amplifiers for video and sync must be fitted (see Annex A). 20Cable specifications are detailed in Paragraphs 24 onwards. CHECKS AFTER FITTING 21Setting to work instructions are described in Chapter 3, Commissioning. The transceiver must be thoroughly checked for security, accessibility, and correct cabling runs. mkiv7Issue 1 KH1254 Chapter 2 TO TX MONITOR ARM CAE-A106 RED PLA BLUE 6 12345678910 CD-1134 Figure 3 - X-Band Upmast Transceiver Transmitter Monitor Arm: Connection Diagram

HIGH VOLTAGE WARNING LETHAL HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT IN THE TRANSCEIVER 2A current of 100 mA passing through the human body for one second can kill. This can occur at voltages as low as 35 Vac or 50 Vdc. Some equipment in the system uses electrical power that can be lethal. Whenever practical, before carrying out installation, maintenance or repair, personnel involved must: (1)Isolate the equipment from the electrical supply. (2)Make tests to verify that the isolation is complete. (3)Ensure that power cannot be accidentally reconnected. DO NOT OPEN ANY OF THE UNITS WHEN THE RADAR IS OPERATIONAL - UNLESS FULLY QUALIFIED TO DO SO. 3If it is essential to work on the equipment with power connected, work must only be undertaken by qualified personnel who are fully aware of the danger involved and who have taken adequate safety precautions to avoid contact with dangerous voltages. HEALTH HAZARD 4This equipment contains materials which produce toxic fumes when ignited. 5The inhalation of dust and fumes or any contact with lubricants when cleaning the equipment may be temporarily harmful to health, depending on individual allergic reactions. Components which are broken or overheated may release toxic fumes or dust and must be treated with caution. Do not inhale the fumes and ensure that the dust and debris do not enter open cuts or abrasions. It is prudent to regard all damaged components as being potentially toxic, requiring careful handling and appropriate disposal. Page ivIssue 1 CD-0844 CD-0845 RADIATION HAZARD: NON-IONISING AERIAL RADIATION HAZARD: INJURY CAN RESULT FROM EXPOSURE TO THE MAIN BEAM OF A STATIONARY RADAR AERIAL. DO NOT STAND LESS THAN 2m FROM THE CENTRAL FRONT FACE OF THE AERIAL. 6It is accepted in most countries that no significant hazard is presented by radio frequency mean power density levels up to 10mW/cm. RF power levels in excess of this may cause harmful effects, particularly to the eyes. 7Users of cardiac pacemakers should be aware that radio frequency transmissions, can damage some such devices or cause irregularities in their operation. Persons using a pacemaker should ascertain whether their device is likely to be affected before exposing themselves to the risk of malfunction. SAFETY ALOFT AERIAL ROTATION: BEFORE MAINTENANCE TO THE TURNING MECHANISM TAKES PLACE, DISABLE AERIAL ROTATION. 8When working aloft, ensure that it is brought to the attention of someone in authority at deck or at ground level and that suitably placed warning notices are posted warning that work aloft is in progress. Ensure that the means of access aloft is secure and beware of wet or slippery ladder rungs and working areas. 9When working on or near a radar scanner and other moving or r.f. radiating equipment, ensure that it is switched off and that the fuses have been removed and retained. PERSONAL PROTECTION 10Personal protection must be used whenever the possibility of an uncontrolled hazard exists. For example, a suitable face visor, gloves and a body apron should be worn when handling cathode ray tubes, as a precaution against injury in the event of breakage.

Operational Description

CHAPTER 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION INTRODUCTION 1The MkVII X-Band Transceiver is available in a downmast configuration only, where the transceiver electronics are remote from the turning mechanism, being located in a separate enclosure located below deck. The downmast Transceiver can be used with either one of two upmast Turning Mechanisms in the following configurations: (1)Low Speed Antenna rotation - 24 rpm (CTX-A8 25 kW X-Band downmast Transceiver and CAE-A30-6 Turning Mechanism). This configuration is used for normal applications. (2)High Speed Antenna rotation - 40 rpm (CTX-A8 25 kW X-Band downmast Transceiver and CAE-A30-5 Turning Mechanism). This configuration is used for high speed craft. 2The configuration, shown in Figures 1 and 2, is provided with a single phase mains input to the transceiver, which provides DC supplies for the turning motor. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Transceiver 3The transceiver (CTX-A8) is fitted with a logarithmic amplifier with AFC and employs fan cooling for the magnetron and modulator. 4The magnetron energy is fed via a circulator and a waveguide 16 run to the rotating joint located in the turning mechanism and onto the antenna. Received signals from the antenna are routed via the rotating joint and waveguide to the circulator. Within the transceiver the received signals are routed from the circulator to the RF limiter and low noise front end to the Logarithmic receiver. 5The transceiver is normally muted whenever the antenna ceases to rotate. Pulse jitter, muting and sector transmission are standard facilities, with options for pre-pulse generation and external synchronisation. 6The transceiver may be interfaced with any of the NUCLEUS Series displays. In addition facilities are provided for interfacing with the display via a Controller Area Network (CAN) Bus link. The CAN Bus is used with displays with this facility, for example the Kelvin Hughes Navigation and Tactical Display (NTD). 7The transceiver provides two SYNC and two VIDEO coaxial outputs.

The ship is to be alongside; less accurate results are obtained if at anchor or at a buoy. Checking the Alignment 12With the vessel stationary, or at anchor, proceed as follows: (1)Check that the array/gearbox alignment markÙis correct. (2)Switch ON the Display and operate in a HEAD UP mode and at a range of 6 miles. (3)Select a stationary target which can be seen by eye and which paints an echo on the screen. (4)Take a compass bearing on the target, and compare this with the bearing of the echo paint on the display. Note the degree and direction of discrepancy. To Correct an Error (Fine Adjustment) 13Any error is present in the Heading Line may be adjusted as follows: (1)Switch the Gearbox Safety Switch to OFF. (2)Switch all supplies to STANDBY. (3)Remove the four captive screws securing the cover to the rear of the Turning Mechanism and remove the cover. (4)Loosen the Azimuth/Heading Line PCB locking screws, refer to Figure 1. (5)Note the position of the pointer on the scale, which is marked in two degree steps. NOTE: Moving the PCB to the left moves the video anti-clockwise with respect to the Heading Line. (6)Remove the error by sliding the PCB by the number of degrees to correct the misalignment. (7)Retighten the Azimuth/Heading Line PCB. (8)Refit the outer cover. (9)Set the Safety Switch to ON. (10)Set the Display to RUN and check that the visual and PPI display bearing of the known target. KH1251 Chapter 5 Issue 1Page 5.5 (11)To make any further adjustment repeat step (6). (12)Secure the rear cover. To Correct an Error (Coarse Adjustment) 14The Heading Line Opto Disc is factory set, however if the fine adjustment does not achieve the required correction, proceed as follows: (1)Perform Paragraph 13, steps (1) to (3). (2)Disconnect the plug to the Heading Line PCB. (3)Remove the Heading Line PCB, ensuring that the opto sensor does not foul against the opto disc. (4)With the array facing forward, check that the leading edge of the heading line disc recess is in line with the array centre line. (5)The heading line disc recess may be corrected by slackening the three M4 retaining bolts holding the disc in place.Do notremove the bolts completely. (6)Manually rotate the disc to the new position required and retighten the bolts. (7)Refit and reconnect the Heading Line PCB by sliding the opto device over the edge of the opto disc. (8)Refit the retaining pillars and reconnect the plug. (9)To check that the Heading Line is correct, refer to the Fine Adjustment Paragraph. SETTING UP THE TRANSMISSION MONITOR 15The efficiency of the magnetron is checked by carrying out a performance monitor check. 16The two specific types of optional performance monitors that can be fitted are: (1)Transmission Monitor- comprises a monitor arm fitted to the outer case of the turning mechanism.
