A WORD TO THE OWNER OF THE OIL RADAR
Congratulations on your choice of the Furuno Finland Oil Radar.
Your equipment is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine environment.
However, no machine can perform its intended function unless properly operated and maintained.
Please carefully read and follow the operation and maintenance procedures set forth in this manual.
Thank you for considering and purchasing Furuno Finland Oil Radar.
We would appreciate feedback from you, the end-user, about whether we are achieving our purposes.
FEATURES
The Oil Radar is a hybrid
oil radar. It is based on
the normal Furuno ARPA
radar, and captures a copy
of the raw radar signal
from the ARPA processor.
The normal operation
of the ARPA radar is not
aected.
The Oil Radar is not a
navigational device. It is
a supplementary system
for the specic task of
observing oil conditions
by radar.
If you would like to know
more about the Oil Radar
capabilities please contact
to Furuno Finland Oy
(www.furuno.).
SOFTWARE HISTORY

1.4 CURSOR POSITION INDICATOR
Description
1. Cursor position display (LAT, LON) and range and bearing from own ship position
1.5 EBL/VRM
There are two EBL/VRM measurement tools available. You can choose the operating modes of these tools
by clicking in the STAB1 or STAB2 box with your mouse.
Description
1. Blank – tool is disabled
2. Ship – the measurements are done from the ship's conning position
3. Gnd – the measurements are stabilized to ground
The EBL and VRM values are shown both on screen and in the respective boxes.
Description
1. Click on EBL1 or EBL2 will toggle the EBL between true (T) and relative (R) measure-
ments
2. Click on VRM1 or VRM2 will show or hide the VRM measurement
3. Using the scroll wheel on any box will adjust that value.
EBL/VRM can be adjusted by dragging the intersection point on the screen.
Note: you choose the point to drag by clicking on the rst point with the right mouse button. To release
the drag you have to click with the right mouse button again after moving the point to the new position.
