Launch of new FURUNO (NOT SOLAS) radars of the FAR-15×3 series
We present the new family of navigation radars of the series FAR-15×3 (NOT ALONE), which will be available in two versions: FAR-1513BB and FAR-1523BB with 12kW and 25kW transmitters respectively and available for 24Vdc power supply.They incorporate advanced target tracking (TT) technology and an automatic clutter removal (ACE) function similar to those available in the FURUNO FAR-3000 Chart Radar, which represents a significant advance in terms of functionality in this range of equipment. They have the capacity for automatic or manual acquisition of up to 50 ARPA targets and the capacity to display up to 300 AIS targets. The control units, completely redesigned, incorporate a touch panel (touchpad) which facilitates its durability and facilitates an intuitive operation of the equipment. The first units are already available!
Check out the catalogue by clicking on the image: They replace the previous F-1510 and FR-1525 series radars.
The functionalities are the same as the product presented previously, with the addition of allowing the radar image to be superimposed on the ECDIS to which it is connected.
The first units are already available, but the required power supply must be specified at the time of ordering, since prices will vary from one model to another.
