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.

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.
