The technical working principle of the ST-316L / I1 radar from Hyundai Welding Co., Ltd. (Pohang) involves electromagnetic waves emitted by a magnetron to detect and measure distances, forming an essential part of maritime navigation systems under the IMO SOLAS standards. This model operates on X-Band and S-Band frequencies, providing critical information for safe ship operations. Regular maintenance is crucial; the antenna bearing must be lubricated annually, while the magnetron should be replaced every 5,000 to 8,000 hours of operation (or when nearing end-of-life). It's also important to keep a spare magnetron on board, as replacement typically takes 1-3 weeks. Additionally, weekly performance tests are required by IMO regulations, and an annual inspection should be conducted to ensure optimal functionality. Common issues include display backlight failures, heading marker drifts, and antenna bearing motor wear after approximately 30,000 hours of operation.
