The unit features an easy-to- read LCD display, built-in intercom and P/A and includes all U.S., inter- national and Canadian channels. Standard's Horizon LH10 loud hailer has an output of 30 watts of power and features listen-back, four fog horns, a four-station intercom, and other alarm signals. Attractive optional flush-mount systems are available for both units. RACAL MARINE Racal Marine introduced one of the world's first production type- approved color ARPAs, the model 2690 BT, which provides a 16-inch PPI equivalent scan on a 26-inch diagonal TV-type display. Well-suited for deepsea vessels, the 2690 BT series ARPA and TM/ AC display are easy to operate with large, individual function control buttons. The basic radar controls on the upper panel follow standard Ra- cal-Decca layout used in thousands of Master series 20-inch color radars already in use at sea. The clear advantages of this sys- tem are its exceptionally bright color presentation of radar video, synthetic graphics and tote infor- mation on a 26-inch DSC display. The 26-inch Racal Decca marine display has been specially designed to meet the requirement for a pre- sentation that can be interpreted quickly and surely under all condi- tions. Switchable color coding mini- mizes eyestrain by day or night and allows the display to be viewed con- veniently under a variety of lighting conditions. This easy-to-operate ARPA has a 20-track capacity with manual or automatic target acquisition. The unit's ARPA controls are located on the lower panel, arranged according to function in a logical layout. In addition to their standard suites of eight video maps, the Ra- cal-Decca 2690 BT series ARPAs can be supplied with an NMEA 0183 proprietary interface to a navi- gation system such as the Racal- Decca MNS 2000 or Decca Naviga- tor Mark 53. This interface enables the operator to show on the ARPA range scales (1-1/2 to 24 nm) a graphic presentation of the voyage plan. The same interface also enables the ARPA to receive from the asso- ciated navigation system a defined position in latitude and longitude, preset to correspond to the refer- ence point around which one or more of the video maps in the ARPA memory has been con- structed. The ARPA can calculate the range and bearing of this point from the ship's position and thus provide automatic alignment of the video map. Circle 8 on Reader Service Card VESSEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Vessel Management Systems Company, Jeffersonville, Ind., has developed the Vessel Management System, an onboard and shore-side computerized tool for evaluating and improving towboat perform- ance. The Vessel Management Sys- tem™ (VMS) is comprised of a set of components that all interface, or may each work independently. One of the basic on-board components is the VMS module. It measures depth, engine rpms, shaft rpms, gal- lons per hour, speed over ground, speed through water, and other data, and computes cost per mile. Then, using the same data, it calcu- lates optimal gallons per hour. The captain then sets his throttles for that consumption rate and, accord- ing to the company, fuel costs fall. There is another module (DEMA) that can automatically monitor up to 1,500 internal engine functions, alerting engineers to problems...and averting needless scheduled mainte- nance. There is the Traffic Applications Processor—a personal computer and programs for on-board paper- work. When linked with WATERCOM™, an inland marine industry direct-dial telephone sys- tem, it can give boat and home office modem communications ca- pabilities. WATERCOM also offers credit card calling, reduced night- time and weekend rates, and consol- idated billing. There is the Traffic and Dispatch Manager software package, which— on a computer screen—takes barge type, shape, size, draft, pickup and drop-off points, towboat horsepow- er and other information, and helps managers design more efficient, more profitable tow configurations. And there is the Towboat Opera- tions Evaluation System, which col- lects, processes and analyzes trip information. It can provide facts about the performance of a single boat, a fleet—even the entire com- pany. Vessel Management Systems Co. is a joint venture of Dundics Enter- prises and Waterways Communica- tions Systems, Inc., and was formed to market the Vessel Management System. Circle 112 on Reader Service Card Warren Offers Free Screw Pump Brochure An eight-page, four-color bro- chure detailing Warren's screw pump line is now available from the manufacturer. Designed for easy readability, the brochure contains data on 5 series in the line, including information on capacities, discharge pressures, and materials of con- struction, as well as product photo- graphs. Warren's screw pumps are ideal for a wide range of applications, including OEM, power, marine, pe- troleum refining, and chemical and petrochemical processing services.
