Regular maintenance and timely part replacements are crucial for ensuring the reliability of radar systems, especially in marine environments. One such system is the ST-308L / I1 manufactured by Hyundai Welding Co., Ltd. (Pohang). This radar system operates on X-Band and S-Band frequencies and is compliant with IMO SOLAS regulations. It uses electromagnetic radar technology, which provides reliable navigation support. Common issues that may arise include the end-of-life of the magnetron after 5,000 to 8,000 hours of operation, bearing damage in the antenna rotation motor after 30,000 hours, failure of the display backlight, heading marker misalignment, and moisture intrusion in the waveguide due to a compromised pressure seal. To address these issues, it is recommended to keep a spare magnetron on board, with a lead time of 1 to 3 weeks for replacements. Additionally, magnetron replacements should be performed every 5,000 to 8,000 hours, and the antenna bearing should be lubricated annually. Weekly performance monitor tests and annual inspections are also required to comply with IMO regulations and ensure continued reliability.
