Conditions
An alarm sound is generated
while a target has entered into
the range of 0.5 NM between
the outer and the inner ring.
In setting a guard zone, it is necessary to adjust the radar tune, gain, sea clutter
suppression and rain/snow clutter suppression to ensure that target echoes are displayed
in the optimum conditions. The guard zone alarm is not generated against the targets that
are not detected by radar.
