How do we know the magnetron needs replacing?

Weak or patchy targets at range, a low magnetron current reading, or transmit hours past the maker's figure. Send us the radar model and the transmit hours and we tell you which magnetron fits.

Can you deliver a magnetron without an engineer attending?

Yes. We deliver to the vessel's appointed agent or warehouse in Singapore with the delivery papers, and the ship's electrician fits it. If you prefer, our engineer fits and tunes it on board.

Can you attend at a Singapore anchorage?

Yes — anchorages, terminals and shipyards. Tell us the anchorage and the ETA; the launch is arranged with the vessel's agent.

The spare is obsolete. What then?

We look for a tested used or refurbished unit, and tell you plainly when replacing the radar is the better answer.

Marine radar repair and service

X-band and S-band radar: we find the fault, bring the part and put the radar back in service — in Singapore and regional ports.

Typical jobs

Fault finding and repairNo picture, weak targets, scanner not turning, transceiver or display faults, heading and interface problems with gyro, AIS and ECDIS.
Magnetron replacementMagnetrons supplied and fitted, with the transceiver tuned and checked afterwards.
Installation and retrofitNew radar installations and replacements: scanner, transceiver, display, cabling and commissioning.
Spare partsMagnetrons, modulators, motors, boards and displays — new, and hard-to-find parts through our Spare Parts Exchange.

What to send us

Vessel name, port and ETA, the radar maker and model, and what the radar is doing. A photo of the display or the alarm helps. We quote the same working day.

From our job book

Radar inside an integrated bridgeOn SAM NACOS and Transas bridges the radar is one part of a network. We trace picture, heading and chart-overlay faults through the workstations and the interfaces — not only the transceiver on the mast.
Faults between the radar and other equipmentLost heading, missing AIS targets, no radar overlay on the ECDIS: we follow the signal from the sensor to every unit that uses it.
Scanner not turningScanner motors, gearboxes and drive boards replaced on the mast, at anchorage or alongside.
Performance monitor faultsPerformance monitor units repaired or replaced, and the radar checked on every range afterwards.
Signal cable replacementWorn scanner-to-display cables replaced end to end, including the run up the mast.
MagnetronsX-band and S-band magnetrons delivered to the vessel's appointed agent or warehouse in Singapore, or fitted by our engineer with the transceiver tuned afterwards.
