Argus Band-S Radar

The Simrad Argus Band-S Radar is a marine radar system. It is normally installed on the bridge with scanner mounted high on a mast or radar platform. It is designed for target detection, collision-avoidance support and navigation in restricted visibility. The operating principle relies on radio-frequency transmission and echo processing to display target range and bearing. The supplied entry states a power rating of 30.0 kW; this information is retained unchanged. Compared with neighbouring models, the relevant differences are frequency band, antenna size, transmitter technology, display integration and tracking functions; these must be confirmed from the installed documentation rather than inferred from the model designation alone. Service and survey attention should concentrate on scanner rotation, target presentation, heading/speed inputs, antenna/RF path, alignment and power. For exact ratings, dimensions, tolerances, test limits and model-specific settings, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Common failures & inspection points

Loss of transmitted radar energy caused by transmitter or power faults, noticed as weak or absent echoes
Scanner rotation failure caused by motor, gearbox, belt or power faults, noticed as antenna-stopped alarm or frozen picture
Heading/speed-input failure caused by sensor or interface faults, noticed as incorrect stabilization, trails or target vectors
Receiver/signal-processing fault caused by RF, processor or software problems, noticed as poor sensitivity, false echoes or unstable picture
Antenna, waveguide or cable water ingress caused by seal deterioration, noticed as intermittent performance, corrosion or RF alarms

Service & Maintenance

Check scanner rotation, target detection, gain/clutter controls, heading and speed inputs, range/bearing alignment and known-target presentation where practicable. Inspect scanner, pedestal, RF path, seals and structural mounting. Verify performance-monitor functions where fitted, blind-sector information and bridge power supplies.
