JRC JMR-9200 SERIES

The JMR-9200/7200 series is a MED-certified marine radar incorporating a 26-inch-wide, 19-inch LCD and meeting the latest IMO performance standards. Incorporating a new Icon-based user interface to provide the latest functions in a user-friendly manner.

Sophisticated user interface

The JMR-9200/7200 series incorporates a new user interface (named jGUI) for an intuitive, easy-to-use, simple menu system based on the display of icons. This interface always displays critical data in fixed positions on the screen while icon-based menu display informs users of corresponding functions straightaway. Furthermore, target tracking (TT) and AIS symbols feature a pop-up displays while mouseover on the target showing their main data at a glance.

Safety Zone Viewer function

By displaying areas of high collision risk on the radar screen, navigators can intuitively grasp safe navigation areas. It is also effective in planning a course of avoidance in congested waters, as the safe
course can be seen at a glance. Even if you are already using the JMR-9200/7200 series, you can install the Safety Zone Viewer by updating the software.

Easy-to-use operating unit

The newly designed trackball supports all the operation of the equipment. Users will be alerted with alarms from the operating unit and color changes under situations that require attention. The radar incorporates dedicated function buttons and control knobs similar to those of conventional models. Furthermore, the radar will be operable like conventional models by connecting an optional operating unit that incorporates a full keyboard.

Solid-state scanner antenna

The JMR-9200/7200 series have been prepared X-band and S-band solid-state scanners. Each model incorporates a built-in performance monitor and has MED certification. The new S-band radar is the world's first MED-certified compact and lightweight model with an 8-ft solid-state scanner antenna following JRC's model with a 12-ft solid-state S-band scanner antenna. JRC's 8-ft series models include its first solid-state scanner antenna that rotates at the rate of as high as 48 rpm. This model using a scanner antenna with a weight of 90 kg is suitable for high-speed craft that needs to grasp situation changes quickly. A solid-state scanner antenna has the following advantages.

• No preheating or tuning required
  No preheating or tuning is required. A stable image will be obtained promptly after the power is turned on.
• A built-in Doppler filter clearly extracts target objects
  Conventional magnetron radars have difficulty in using Doppler filters. A new digital signal processing method has made improvements in target detection performance in clutters.
• Magnetron replacement unnecessary
  The product adopted a highly reliable solid-state transmission circuit, thus eliminating periodical magnetron replacement and leading to a maintenance cost reduction.
