The S-316 L.16N is a radar system manufactured by Hyundai Welding Co., Ltd. (Pohang) designed to meet IMO SOLAS standards. This radar system operates on both X-Band and S-Band frequencies, using electromagnetic radar technology. The unit is certified under DNV approval, ensuring compliance with stringent maritime safety requirements. Common issues that may arise include magnetron end-of-life after 5,000 to 8,000 hours of operation, bearing damage in the antenna rotation motor after 30,000 hours, display backlight failure, heading marker alignment drift, and moisture intrusion in the waveguide due to compromised pressure sealing. To maintain optimal performance, it is recommended to keep a spare magnetron on board for prompt replacement, with a lead time of 1 to 3 weeks. Regular maintenance includes magnetron replacement every 5,000 to 8,000 hours, annual lubrication of the antenna bearing, and weekly performance monitoring tests as per IMO requirements. An annual inspection is also necessary to ensure ongoing reliability and compliance with maritime regulations.
