Picture Freeze

The rare event of Processor failure is indicated by non-operation of the trackerball, no update of screen data and a frozen tune bar indicator. The radar picture may be updated, but plotting is not possible.

The display is to be switched OFF and ON again to reset the Processor.

ARPA Failure

The ARPA computer is protected by a watchdog circuit, which monitors the ARPA for correct operation.

In the unlikely event of computer failure, the Operator observes vector footprints becoming detached fromtargets. If this occurs, reset the computer, by pressing the “Delete All Targets” pushbutton twice.

If the ARPA fails while running, an ARPA FAILURE message is indicated. If the ARPA fails to start, a TESTINGARPA message remains on the screen after the initial self-test period of 10 seconds.

PREFACE

Manta is designed to be flexible and expandable making it ideal for use in Integrated Bridge Systems (IBS), aswell as for standalone Radar Systems and Electronic Chart Display Information Systems (ECDIS).

When used in standalone systems the Manta Display is dedicated for use as either a Radar Display or as anECDIS Display.

When used in Integrated Bridge Systems the Manta Display can be configured as a networked Multi-FunctionalDisplay, which can be switched between different functions, e.g. Radar, ECDIS or Conning Display, depending onthe function required by the operator. This allows a single display to control a number of functions, although onlyone function can be accessed at any time.

Manta is designed so that, when required, the displays can be controlled from an Ergopod.

The operation, installation and maintenance of Manta is covered in the following manuals:

KH2024 - System Manual for the Manta Networked Multi-Functional Display. This covers the operation,installation and maintenance of the Manta display when used as a networked multi-functional display. Thecontent of this manual is limited to the functions specific to the networked multi-functional display, anddoes not cover features common to the Radar and ECDIS Systems.

INTRODUCTION

1 This section provides an introduction to the MantaRadar Systems.

2 The Manta Radar systems can be configured to suitcustomer requirements, according to the quantity and

types of display, transmitter/receiver and Interswitch unitused. Typical configurations are shown in the Figures at theend of this Introduction.

3 The comprehensive use of colour, provides anoptimum display of radar picture, selectable functions,

warnings, target information and Ownship navigation data.

4 The Manta series equipment is designed for use aseither a panel mounted Console or a Desk Mounted

Display with a separate Processor Unit.

OPERATION

5 Manta colour Radar Displays utilise a unique methodof operation. The entire operation of the radar (apart

from power ON/OFF switching) can be controlled by usingthe trackerball and the three pushbutton keys located on aspecially designed and ergonomic control unit, featuring acontoured hand rest.

6 The operation of the Manta range of radars is designed to be simple and intuitive. A cursor is moved by the

trackerball inside and outside the radar circle. When thecursor is moved to be within the confines of a ‘Status Box’(located outside the radar circle) the box is automaticallyhighlighted; pop-down boxes provide abbreviatedpushbutton functionality. Simultaneously, function optionsare displayed as a labelled diagrammatic view of the threepushbuttons in the ‘Pushbutton Selection Box’. Thefunctions are accessed by pressing the appropriatepushbutton. The ‘Status Box’ changes to display the newstatus and the cursor can then be moved back to the radarcircle or to another function box.

7 When the cursor is inside the radar circle, the threebuttons are used for plotting targets, positioning

markers and mapping graphics. A diagrammatic labelledview of the pushbutton functionality is displayed in thepushbutton selection box.

8 Where the operator requires discrete controls for Gain, Sea, Rain, Range Up, Range Down, VRM, EBL,

Parallel Index and Vector mode functions, these can beprovided by the optional Radar Control Panel. This unit canbe mounted in Desk Mounted Displays, but is a separate unitwhen Console Mounted Displays are used.

9 Detailed Operating Information is provided inOperating Information, Chapter 1.

MANTA DISPLAYS - CONTROLS ANDINDICATORS

16 The Manta Radar Displays use flat screen technologyand are available in three sizes (17", 20" and 23"), with

the option of desk mounting, console mounting, or flushconsole mounting.

17 The Desk Mounted Displays have the controls built into the display unit, whereas the Console Mounted

Displays are designed to be used in conjunction with aRemote Trackerball (complete with three pushbuttons).

18 The Manta Radar Displays are designed to control theManta Radar Processor Unit and provide the controls

and indicators for the processor unit. The Manta processingunits can also be controlled from an Ergopod, if required.

Desk Top Display

19 The Desk Top Display comprises a plastic moulding,which houses a flat screen LCD display and

trackerball. The Desktop Radar Display unit is shown inFigure 1.

20 The Desk Top Display has the following controls andindicators:

(1) An ON/OFF switch located on the front panel ofthe display housing. The switch is fitted flush withthe housing to prevent it from being operatedinadvertently.

(2) A SEL (Select) switch located on the front of thedisplay housing. this switch allows the operator toselect different system functions for viewing andcontrol. This switch is only applicable toIntegrated Bridge Systems using networkeddisplays and processors and is not used withstand-alone Radar workstations. The switch isfitted flush with the housing to prevent it from beingoperated inadvertently.

(3) Brightness + and - controls are provided on thefront of the display, below the screen on theleft-hand side. These set the brightness of thebacklight of the display.

(4) A SYS FAIL indicator (red) with integralpushbutton switch (later units only), lit when a faultis detected in the processor. An audible alarm alsosounds. Pressing the pushbutton silences theaudible alarm, but the indicator remains lit until thefault has cleared.

(5) A trackerball and its pushbuttons are mounted onthe bezel in front of the display. The optional radarcontrol panel is also fitted in front of the display.

Console Mounted and Flush Console Mounted Displays

21 The Console Mounted Display comprises a plasticbezel moulding, fitted around the flat screen display.

22 The Flush Mounted Console Display has a flat metalbezel surround and is designed to fit flush with the

console.

23 The Console Radar Display is shown in Figure 2 andthe Flush Console Display in Figure 3.

24 The Console and Flush Console Mounted Displayshave the following controls and indicators:

(1) Brightness + and - controls are provided on thefront of the display, below the screen on theleft-hand side. These set the brightness of thebacklight of the display.

(2) An ON/OFF switch located on the front of the unitunder the display. This is a push button switchmounted flush with the bezel to prevent it frombeing operated inadvertently. On earlier units thisswitch is on the underside of the bezel on the frontleft hand side of the display.

(3) A SYS FAIL indicator (red) with integralpushbutton switch (later units only), lit when a faultis detected in the processor. An audible alarm alsosounds. Pressing the pushbutton silences theaudible alarm, but the indicator remains lit until thefault has cleared.

25 The Console and Flush Mounted Console Displaysrequire the use of a remote trackerball unit. The remote

trackerball unit comprises a large diameter trackerball andthree pushbuttons for control. Where discrete radar controlsare required, they also require the optional Radar ControlPanel, which is mounted separately in the console or as afree standing unit.

27 The PPI range scales are: 0.125nm, 0.25nm, 0.5nm,0.75nm, 1.5nm, 3nm, 6nm, 12nm, 24nm, 48nm and

96nm.

Screen Modes of Operation

28 The following modes of operation and presentation areavailable for selection, depending on the type of

display installed:

(1) Relative Motion,Relative Trails RM(R)

(2) True Motion,True Trails TM(T)

(3) Relative Motion,True Trails RM(T)

(4) Head Up.

(5) North Up.

(6) Course Up.

Options (True Motion and Relative Motion with TrueTrails)

29 True Motion (True Trails), TM(T) is available - whereOwnship moves across the screen at a velocity

equivalent to the Ownship’s speed and heading.

30 Relative Motion (True Trails) mode offers relativemotion, fixed centred or off-centred Ownship’s

position, with true trails.

Offcentre

31 The display can be offcentred by up to two thirds, on allrange scales, except 96nm, which cannot be off

centred.

Heading Line

32 The ship’s heading line and all other computergenerated graphics can be temporarily removed from

the radar display, to present the operator with a clear radaronly picture.

Variable Range Marker

33 The Variable Range Markers (VRM1 & VRM2) areshown on the radar display as dashed rings (colour

coded; Green for VRM1 and Red for VRM2) and areavailable over the entire radar range. The VRMs ranges aredisplayed by an alphanumeric readout in a box (colourcoded; Green for VRM1 and Red for VRM2), located in thelower left-hand side of the screen.

Electronic Bearing Line

34 The Electronic Bearing Lines (EBL1 & EBL2) areshown on the radar display as lines colour coded;

(Green for EBL1 and Red for EBL2), emanating fromOwnship. The EBLs are True in North Up display mode andRelative in Head Up mode. The bearings of the EBLs aredisplayed by alphanumeric readout in a box (colour coded;Green for EBL1 and Red for EBL2), located beneath theVRM box.

35 The EBL can be off-centred with its origin set to thecursor position. This enables measurement of the

bearing of a target from a point other than the Ownship.

Signal Controls - Gain, Sea, Rain

36 The Gain facility sets the basic threshold level of theradar video displayed on the screen. The Sea facility

reduces sea clutter returns and features an "AUTO"(automatic) option. The Rain facility reduces clutter fromrain, snow and hail precipitation.

Ownship and Plotting Parameters

37 Ownship and Plotting parameters are displayed in abox (located on the right-hand side of the screen)

which contains Gyro, Heading, Speed, Set & Drift Input,Vector, Trails, CPA and TCPA.

RADAR PLOTTING AIDS

Electronic Plotting Aid (EPA)

40 The Electronic Plotting Aid (EPA) is a manual plottingsystem equivalent to, but superior than, a reflection

plotter. Up to 20 targets can be plotted in all display modes.EPA is fitted to all Relative and True Motion display systems.

41 The operator manually selects and enters target plots,and at regular intervals updates the plots by entering

the new position of the targets.

42 Refer to Chapter 2 of the Operating Informationsection for a full description of EPA facilities.

Automatic Tracking Aid (ATA)

43 The Automatic Tracking Aid (ATA) is based on theARPA system and offers 20 target capacity. Trial

manoeuvre, target history and automatic acquisition areexcluded from the ATA facility. ATA performance is fullycompliant with IMO requirements.

44 The ATA utilises a computer which employs advancedprocessing techniques to track targets automatically.

45 Refer to Chapter 3 of the Operating Informationsection for a full description of ATA facilities.

Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (ARPA)

46 The Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (ARPA) facilitycomplies with and exceeds the IMO requirements for

an Automatic Radar Plotting aid. Up to 50 targets can beacquired (automatically or manually) and tracked.

47 The ARPA includes Simulat ions and TrialManoeuvres.

48 Refer to Chapter 3 of the Operating Informationsection for a full description of ARPA facilities.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS

49 The Manta System can be configured in a number ofdifferent ways. Typical examples are shown in the

figures at the end of this Introduction.

50 The control and status interface between the Displaysand the Transceivers is either via a parallel

connection, using 38-core cable, or via a CAN bus interface,using 12-core composite cable. The MkIV, MkV and MkVItransceivers can only use the parallel interface, whereas theMkVII transceivers can use either parallel or CAN businterfaces, depending on system requirements.

51 Note that the Radar Interswitch Unit (RIU) can only usethe CAN bus interface, with an option of a parallel to

CAN bus adaptor on a limited number of transceiverinterfaces only. If a Radar Interswitch Unit is used withadditional non-MkVII transceivers, a Transmitter InterfaceUnit (TIU) is required for each of the other non-MkVIItransceivers to convert the signals between parallel andCAN bus formats.

52 Note that all the examples, with one exception, showthe Desk Mounted Display. However the Desk,

Console or Flush Console Mounted Display can be used withany configuration.

53 The typical configurations shown are as follows:

(1) A single Desk Top Display and a dedicatedUpmast Transmitter/Receiver and Antenna, with aparallel interface.

(2) A single Console Mounted Display, with RemoteTrackerball , and a dedicated DownmastTransmitter/Receiver and Antenna, with a CANbus interface.

(3) Two Desk Top Displays Interswitched via a RadarInterswitch Unit (RIU) to two UpmastTransmitter/Receivers and Antennas, withparallel interfaces.

(4) Two Desk Top Displays interswitched via a DualInterswitch Unit (DIU) to one Transmitter/Receiverand Antenna, with a parallel interface.

(5) Two Desk Top Displays interswitched via a RadarInterswitch Unit (RIU) to two UpmastTransmitter/Receivers and Antennas, one withthe internal CAN bus to parallel adaptor, and onewith a Transmitter Interface Unit.

(6) Two Desk Top Displays interswitched via a DualInterswitch Unit (DIU) to two UpmastTransmitter/Receivers and Antennas, withparallel interfaces.

54 The Manta Radar System can be supplied with anUninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), which uses

internal batteries to maintain power to the Radar System inthe event of mains failure. Information on the UPS isprovided in Chapter 6 of the System Information section.



TECHNICAL OVERVIEW

55 The basic Manta Radar consists of a Manta Displayand associated Radar Processor Unit, together with

Radar Transceivers/Antennas and Interface Units asrequired. A typical schematic is shown in Figure 10. Thisshows one Display/Processor Unit and oneTransceiver/Antenna with an interface unit, with the option toconnect to other transceivers/antennas anddisplay/processor units via the interface unit.

56 Depending on the system configuration, single phasemains power for the Transceiver/Antenna may be

supplied from the Processor Unit, or directly from the shipsmains supply. Where a Transceiver/Antenna requires 3phase supplies, these are supplied directly from shipsmains.

57 An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) may be usedon the single phase mains supplies to maintain power

to the Display/Processor Unit and Transceiver/Antenna inthe event of a loss of ships mains. Note that the batteries inthe UPS will only maintain supplies for a limited period.

Manta Displays

58 The basic Manta Radar display options are as follows:

Mounted ECDIS/Radar Display

59 The Manta Radar Displays are designed to beconnected to the Radar Processor Unit.

60 The Manta display is a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) flatscreen display with associated interface and control

circuitry. The Manta display may contain an integraltrackerball (desk top mounted) or a remote trackerball(console and flush console mounted). The interfaces to theRadar Processor Unit are:

(1) Mains power supplies from the processor to thedisplay.

(2) An ON/OFF control to the processor.

(3) Video from the processor to the display.

(4) An audio signal from the processor to the displayto drive the loudspeaker.

(5) A PS2 interface for the trackerbal l andpushbuttons.

61 The cable used for the PS2 interface must generally beless than 3 metres long, in order to meet the

specification for the interface. In systems where it isnecessary to separate the display and processor by greaterthan 3 metres, the optional Remote Display Transceiver maybe installed at both ends of the link. This unit converts thePS2 link to and from RS485 format thus allowing a greaterseparation of the display and associated processor unit. TheRemote Display Transceiver, if fitted, is usually locatedwithin the Radar Processor Unit and the Desk Top Display,but is mounted remotely from the Console Mounted andFlush Console Mounted Displays and is connected to theremote trackerball.

62 When fitted, the optional Radar Control Panel is eitherlocated in the Desk Top Display or separately console

mounted as a remote unit for the Console and Flush ConsoleMounted Displays. A further option allows the Radar ControlUnit to be hand held with a flying lead connection to theconsole. When used the Radar Control Panel is connectedto the Radar Processor Unit via an RS232 link.

63 When the Radar Control Panel is used the trackerballcan be connected to the PS2 port on the Radar Control

Panel, which then combines the signals to and from thetrackerball with the local control signals to provide a singleRS232 connection to the Radar Processor Unit. There isthen no PS2 connection between the display and theprocessor unit. Therefore, when the display and processorunit are more than 3 metres apart there is no need for aRemote Display Transceiver if the Radar Control Panel isfitted, as the interface is via an RS232 link.

Desk Top Display

64 The Desk Top Display comprises a plastic moulding,which houses a flat screen LCD display, trackerball

and tactile feel compact keyboard. The external electricalinterface is accessible from the back of the display via adetachable rear cover. The terminations for the insulationcables are located at the bottom of the LCD flat panelassembly. The cables are EMC clamped at the cableentrance of the display housing.

65 The Display Units utilise a daylight/dimmable colourhigh definition LCD Flat Screen display mounted in

landscape orientation. The display is designed for daylightand night viewing by means of a dimmable backlight.

Console Mounted and Flush Console Mounted Displays

66 The Console Mounted Display comprises a plasticbezel moulding, fitted around the flat screen display.

The bezel is hinged at the bottom to allow the display to betilted forward enabling front access for maintenancepurposes. The display can also lift off its hinges, if required.

67 The Flush Mounted Console Display has a flat metalbezel surround and is designed to fit flush with the

console. It is not hinged and has to be unscrewed from theconsole for maintenance purposes.

68 The Console and Flush Console Mounted Displaysutilise a daylight/dimmable colour high definition LCD

Flat Screen display mounted in the landscape position. Thedisplay is designed for daylight and night viewing by meansof a dimmable backlight.

69 The terminations for the insulation cables are locatedat the bottom of the LCD flat panel assembly.



Radar Processor Unit

70 Three basic versions of Radar Processor Unit areavailable:

(1) Radar Processor Unit with Automatic RadarPlotting Aid (ARPA) NNR-A59

(2) Radar Processor Unit with Automatic Tracking Aid(ATA) NNR-A60

(3) Radar Processor Unit with Electronic Plotting Aid(EPA) NNR-A61

NOTE:

When optional items are fitted into the Processor Unit, theidentity will be given a suffix to identify the additional itemsfitted.

71 The Radar Processor Unit controls the designatedmaster radar transceiver/antenna and receives status

signals from the transceiver. It processes the video from thetransceiver for application to the display in VGA format. Forslave displays, the status of the transceiver may be sent tothe display, but the transceiver/antenna control lines aredisabled.

72 The master transceiver/antenna can be controlled byone of the following types of interface:

(1) An parallel link, using discrete connections foreach of the control and status lines.

(2) A CAN bus link, where all the control and statussignals with the exception of sync, azimuth andheading line from the transceiver are multiplexedonto a single CAN bus.

73 The Radar Processor Unit provides the interface toexternal equipment. The following standard interfaces

are provided:

(1) Analogue gyro compass input.

(2) Analogue speed log input.

(3) Four configurable NMEA serial interfaces areprovided. These are opto-isolated from theinternal circuitry of the Radar Processor Unit. Allfour interfaces can be configured for RS232operation, serial input 4 can also be configured forRS422 operation. GPS is normally input on one ofthe serial ports.

NOTE:

Serial port 3 is configured to output diagnostic data andtherefore this port should be used for receive signals only.The other three ports can be used with bi-directional serialdata.

(4) Relay isolated outputs are provided for visual,audible and fail alarms.

(5) RS232 link to external Trackerball/Ergopod. Thislink is receive only from the Trackerball/Ergopod.

Radar Transceivers/Antennas

74 The following types of Kelvin Hughes RadarTransceivers/Antennas can be used with Manta:

(1) MkIV, which is available in an Upmast 25 kWX-Band configuration, with low speed antennaonly. This transceiver/antenna requires singlephase mains only.

(2) MkV, which is available in an Upmast 10 kWX-Band configuration with low or high speedantennas. This transceiver/antenna requires DCpower only. For the low speed antenna this isnormally supplied from the processor unit, for thehigh speed antenna it is supplied from a separatepower supply unit.

(3) MkVI, which is available in an Upmast 30 kWS-Band configuration with low or high speedantennas. This transceiver/antenna requires 3phase mains supplies, which are supplied by a softstart unit. The soft start unit ensures thatexcessive torque is not applied to the antenna atstart up.

(4) MkVII S-Band, which is available in a Downmast30 kW configuration with low or high speedantennas. This transceiver/antenna requiressingle phase and 3 phase mains. The singlephase mains is used to drive the transceiver andthe 3 phase mains is used to drive the antennaturning mechanism. The 3 phase mains issupplied via a soft start unit, which ensures thatexcessive torque is not applied to the antenna atstart up.

(5) MkVII X-Band, which is available in a Downmast25 kW configuration with low or high speedantennas. This transceiver/antenna requiressingle phase mains only. The transceiver providesthe DC supplies for the turning mechanism.

NOTE:

Low speed antennas normally rotate at 25 rpm and highspeed antennas at 40 rpm.

75 The Kelvin Hughes MkIV, MkV and MkVItransceivers/antennas can only be interfaced to the

Radar Processor Unit via the parallel control lines. They donot have the CAN bus interface fitted.

76 The Kelvin Hughes MkVII transceiver/antenna can beinterfaced to the Radar Processor Unit either by the

parallel control lines or by the CAN bus link. Normally, theCAN bus interface is used as it reduces the amount of wiringrequired.

77 If the Radar Interswitch Unit (RIU) is used to interfacethe Radar Processor Unit to the transceivers/antennas

the interconnections to the RIU must be via CAN businterfaces. When the MkIV, MkV and MkVItransceivers/antennas are used with the RIU an InterfacePCB is required to convert the control and status signalsbetween parallel format and CAN bus format. This InterfacePCB may be located in the RIU or may be in a separateTransmitter Interface Unit (TIU).



Interface Units

78 The interface units are fully described in the SystemInformation section.

79 The following main Interface Units are used withManta:

(1) Dual Interswitch Unit (DIU), which provides ameans of interconnecting any two displays withany two transceivers, and providing controlfacilities to enable either display to control eithertransceiver.

(2) Radar Interswitch Unit (RIU), which provides aninterface between up to 6 displays and 6transceivers/antennas. Displays 5 and 6 can beconfigured to provide radar signals to any slavedisplay or to a Kelvin Hughes ECDIS. The RIUuses the CAN bus interface only, so where thetransceiver/antenna requires an parallel interface,either an internally mounted Interface PCB isrequired, or the transceiver must be interfaced tothe RIU via the Transmitter Interface Unit.

(3) Transmitter Interface Unit (TIU), which providesan interface to MkIV, MkV and MkVItransceivers/antennas and large interswitchedsystems. The TIU converts parallel control andstatus signals from the transceiver to CAN busformat for the RIU and Radar Processor Unit.

(4) Ergopod, allowing control of the radar to beundertaken remotely.

(5) Uninterruptible Power Supply, which maintainsthe power to up to one display and onetransceiver/antenna in the event of short termship’s mains failure.

(6) Remote Display Transceiver, used where theDisplay and Processor Unit are more than 3metres apart.

(7) Manta Radar Control Panel, which can be usedinstead of the trackerball and pushbuttons, whenrequired for operational reasons.

80 The following are provided to allow the Manta tointerface to a wide variety of equipment:

(1) 3-phase transformer, allowing Manta to be usedwith 440 V 3-phase supplies.

(2) Low ratio compass kit, allowing Manta to interfacewith synchro compasses with ratios between 1:1and 128:1.

(3) Master/slave kit, allowing Manta to interface twotransceivers, one as allocated as master to thedisplay and the other as slave to the display.

(4) Slave Synchro PCB used where the slave radarprovides a synchro or resolver azimuth output.The PCB converts the signal into azimuth pulsesand produces a heading line pulse for the display.

(5) Divide by 4 PCB, allowing Manta to interface tonon-Kelvin Hughes transceivers with an azimuthratio of 1024:1, and no separate heading linepulse.

(6) Buffer amplifiers to amplify the video and syncsignals when long cable runs are used betweenthe display and transceiver.
