<BODY> <div> Maverick Demonstrates Vest >ystem At Holland Show The Maverick Foam Vest Sys- em was demonstrated at the 13th nternational Tug & Salvage Con- ention by IMSSCO distributor Van 3sch Trading & Shipping bv. The ive burn demonstration was per- Drmed by the Smit-Tak Fire Fight- rs. The Maverick Foam Vest Sys- em is designed to be worn as a vest lolding five gallons of foam, and Hows the fire fighter to switch rom foam to sea water. For more n the system from IMSSCO, Circle 60 on Reader Service Card ipectrex Debuts Optical lame Detector Spectrex Inc. introduced the IharpEye 20/201 optical flame de- ector, a self-contained triple spec- rum unit and the latest in the IharpEye series. The unit is esigned for a host of uses in a ariety of industries, where the hreat of accidental fire involving ydrocarbon fuels is possible. The new unit can detect a one- q.-ft. fire at 200 ft., and incorpo- ates a host of features, including: larm relay able to be set to latch- ag or non-latching, accessory relay an be used as a select automatic t.I.T. with manual override, and lore. The detector, approved by 'actory Mutual, is rated at 100,000 ours (11+ years) for mean time etween failures.

Offered by loverFoam Services, Inc., the prod- ct absorbs up to 60 times its weight, quality which can help reduce ibor and disposal costs, and makes ; versatile for many applications, or more information from ! over Foam Services Inc., Circle 62 on Reader Service Card lew Loop Antenna liminates Grounding Starlink Inc. of Austin, Texas as introduced an H-field crossed- >op ferrite antenna for the Starlink IRB-2A Beacon Receiver. The CLA-2 loop antenna is not the tandard antenna on the MRB-2A nd is available for immediate de- very. The manufacturer said the iCLA-2 loop antenna has low vul- erability to "precipitation noise" "om static discharges or pulses which are typical on vessels. It also eliminates the need for a ground at the antenna, easing installation. "A significant feature of the BCLA- 2 loop antenna is that it is only sensitive to the H-field component of the transmission," said David Hirsch, Starlink's vice president of business development. Starlink said this means reception will not be interupted by metal structures (cranes, antennas, rigging, etc.) lo- cated either in narrow channels or on deck. Starlink Inc. designs, de- velops and manufactures GPS navi- gation products. For more informa- tion on the new loop antenna, Circle 63 on Reader Service Card Giant Offers High-Volume, High-Pressure Water Pumps Toledo-based Giant Industries introduced two new water pumps, the GP5136 and the GP5145, both standardwith ceramic plungers, alu- minum bronze connecting rods, heavy duty roller bearings and cast iron fluid end. The GP5136 is rated for 35gpm at 2,200psi; the GP5145 is rated for 43gpm at l,500psi.

Enhanced Navigation Package (ENP). The Best Is Now Better. The Enhanced Navigation Package (ENP) is the latest innovation to the PATHFINDER/ST ARPA and TM Radar. ENP adds significant navigational and operational features that keep the PATHFINDER/ST raster display at the forefront of industry design. All Raytheon PATHFINDER/ST systems now offer ENP as standard supply, and systems already in use can be easily upgraded. The PATHFINDER/ST raster display with ENP includes a navigation sensor interface, stored Navline maps (ARPA only), new "pop-up" menu operation, and configurable serial data output ports. Navigation sensor input can accept NMEA sentence structure from conventional sen- sors such as differential GPS, GPS, or LORAN-C. A second input port is available that will accept information from a Syledis precision positioning system. The naviga- tion sensor is used to position and stabilize Navline maps on the PATHFINDER/ST ARPA display. Operation of the PATHFINDER/ST ENP is simplified by the "pop-up" menus. Three main menus are: MAPS, OPERATE, and ARPA. The MAPS page is used to save, retrieve, edit, and control Navline maps. The OPERATE page contains operational functions such as: Vector Selection; Trial Maneuver, and Course Up. The ARPA page allows selection of features such as Collision Assessment Mode, Auto Drift, and Auto Acquisition. Comparison Tests Prove PATHFINDER/ST Radars See What Others Can't. In side-by-side comparison tests, a PATHFINDER/ST display and a conven- tional radar display were connected to the same radar system. PATHFINDER/ST consistently displayed targets not detect- ed by the conventional display. Unmatched Target Detection. Using increased signal-to-noise levels, high dynamic range, precisely matched pulse bandwidths, and exclusive Rain Rate circuits, PATHFINDER/ST receivers faithfully capture target returns even in severe clutter. PATHFINDER/ST multistage processing analyzes, compares, tests, and samples the received signal so that all detected targets, no matter how weak in signal strength, are distinguished from clutter and clearly displayed. From the control panels through the computer, transmitter, and receiver- and then in five steps leading to the CRT-Raytheon's exclusive Superior Technology provides sharp, bright radar pictures virtually free of clutter. Simple Installation and Flexible System Configuration. PATHFINDER/ST Radars satisfy a very wide range of installation and operating requirements. Signal multiplexing reduces connections between PATHFINDER/ST receivers and displays. This, combined with electronic interswitching for dual systems, the ability to mount transceivers "up" in antenna pedestals, or "down" in separate cabinets, and keyboard entry of all setup parameters, makes any installa- tion straightforward, simple, and economi- cal. In addition to having the optional IMO- required, antenna-mounted performance monitors, PATHFINDER/ST Radar software provides menus for extensive self-testing of virtually every function.
