Product Introduction

The JRC NJU-64 Performance Monitor is an optional radar performance monitoring unit made by Japan Radio Co., Ltd. (JRC), Japan, for JRC X-band marine radar installations. It allows the navigator to check the overall performance of the radar transmitter and receiver directly on the radar display. SM MARINE SERVICE™ supplies the NJU-64 and other JRC radar spare parts to ship owners, ship managers and service engineers worldwide.

What Is This Equipment?

A radar performance monitor (PM) is a small unit installed near the radar antenna (scanner). When the PM function is switched on, the unit receives the radar's transmitted pulses and returns a test signal, which appears on the display as a PM pattern (arcs/rings). By comparing this pattern with the reference recorded at installation, the operator can see whether transmitter power and receiver sensitivity have dropped. According to the JRC JMA-5200 series manual, the NJU-64 PM pattern is adjusted so that its outer edge appears between 10 and 18 NM, and an information label supplied with the monitor is attached to the display unit.

Main Features

  • Checks radar transmitter output and receiver sensitivity on the radar screen
  • Optional unit for JRC X-band marine radar (JMA-5200 series documented)
  • Weatherproof painted metal enclosure with stainless steel bolts
  • Mounting brackets for installation near the radar scanner
  • Cable gland for the interconnection cable
  • PM pattern adjustment from the radar Equipment Setup / TRX Setting menu
  • Made in Japan by Japan Radio Co., Ltd.

Inside the Unit: PCBs, Modules & Part Numbers

No internal board numbers are visible on the closed unit, and JRC has not published a parts list for the NJU-64 that we could verify. The functional sections below are described generally (part numbers: Not verified).

PM Receiving / Transmitting Section

Picks up the radar's transmitted pulse and generates the return test signal that forms the PM pattern on the display.

Control / Interface Circuit

Switches the PM on and off on command from the radar and connects to the radar through the interconnection cable.

Main Components & Related Units

  • NJU-64 – Performance Monitor (this product)
  • JRC JMA-5200 series radars – JMA-5206, JMA-5210-4, JMA-5210-6, JMA-5220-7, JMA-5220-9 (the manual notes that JMA-5206/HS has no PM option)
  • NJU-85 – later JRC X-band performance monitor listed for JMA-5200Mk2 and JMA-5300Mk2 series (different model, not verified as interchangeable)
  • NKE-2103 / NKE-2254 – JRC X-band scanner units of later JMA-5200Mk2 / 5300Mk2 series
  • NQE-3141 – JRC radar interswitch unit

Marine & Industrial Applications

  • SOLAS radar installations on cargo ships, tankers and bulk carriers
  • Fishing vessels, offshore vessels and passenger ships with JRC radar
  • Replacement of damaged or missing PM units during radar service or survey

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

  • No PM pattern on display – check that the PM option is set and switched on, check the cable and connection to the radar.
  • PM pattern weak or shorter than reference – may indicate reduced magnetron output or receiver sensitivity; have the radar transceiver checked.
  • Water ingress – check the cover gasket and cable gland.
  • After replacement – the PM must be re-adjusted from the TRX Setting menu (PM Adjustment) so the pattern edge is within 10–18 NM.

Safety note: Switch off the radar and use the safety switch before working near the scanner. Radar microwave radiation and the rotating antenna are dangerous; work must be done by a qualified radar technician.

Common Alarms

Radar alarms are shown on the JRC display unit and described in the radar manual. We do not list undocumented alarm codes; please send us the exact message on your display.

Maintenance Tips

  • Inspect the enclosure, bolts and cable gland for corrosion at regular intervals.
  • Record the PM pattern after installation and compare it regularly.
  • Keep the information label on the display unit for reference.

Why This Equipment Is Still Used

Many ships still operate JRC JMA-5200 series radars. The performance monitor is the easiest way for the crew to confirm radar performance, so when the NJU-64 is damaged, owners replace it with the same model to keep the existing radar settings and installation.

FAQ

Q1. What is the JRC NJU-64?
It is an optional performance monitor (PM unit) for JRC X-band marine radar.

Q2. Which radars use the NJU-64?
It is documented in the JRC JMA-5200 series manual (JMA-5206, JMA-5210 and JMA-5220 models). The JMA-5206/HS has no PM option.

Q3. What does the performance monitor show?
A PM pattern on the radar display used to check transmitter and receiver performance.

Q4. How is the NJU-64 adjusted?
From the radar's Equipment Setup → TRX Setting → PM Adjustment menu, so the PM pattern edge is within 10–18 NM.

Q5. What PCB is inside the NJU-64?
Internal PCB numbers are not visible and not published; send us your unit details and we will check.

Q6. Is the NJU-85 the same as the NJU-64?
No. The NJU-85 is a later JRC performance monitor listed for JMA-5200Mk2/5300Mk2; interchangeability is not verified.

Q7. Where is the NJU-64 installed?
Outdoors, near the radar scanner unit.

Q8. Where is it made?
In Japan, by Japan Radio Co., Ltd.

Q9. Do you ship worldwide?
Yes, SM MARINE SERVICE™ ships worldwide to vessels, agents and service companies.

Short Product Description

The JRC NJU-64 is an optional radar performance monitor made by Japan Radio Co., Ltd. in Japan for JRC X-band marine radars, documented for the JMA-5200 series (JMA-5206, JMA-5210 and JMA-5220 models). Installed near the radar scanner, it creates a PM pattern on the radar display so the navigator can check transmitter output and receiver sensitivity against the reference set at installation. The weatherproof enclosure has a bolted cover, mounting brackets and a cable gland. SM MARINE SERVICE™ supplies the NJU-64 worldwide as a direct replacement for ships with JRC radar systems.
