FAR-22X8 FAR-23X8 series RADAR

Automatic Clutter Elimination (ACE) for unprecedented echo clarity

Quickly adjusts the radar image with of a single button press. When the ACE function is activated, the system automatically adjusts clutter reduction filters and gain control according to the sea and weather conditions.

Fast Target Tracking™ (TT) function to prevent collision at an early stage

With Fast Target Tracking™ (TT), the FAR-22×8/23×8 series provides accurate tracking information; speed and course vectors are displayed in mere seconds allowing operators to take action and avoid incidents at a very early stage.

User interface designed for the ultimate intuitive operation

InstantAccess bar™ which gives you immediate access to the functions you need

InstantAccess bar™ contains shortcut menus of tasks (functions/actions) which operators frequently use, so users can quickly access necessary tasks.

Well-designed controllers for stress-free operation

Comfortable usability is very important on long voyages. With that in mind, these control units are designed based on ergonomics to fit the operator’s hand. All operations can be controlled with the trackball.

Refined antenna with high signal accuracy and excellent reliability

The FAR-22×8/23×8 series is designed to provide clearer and more accurate radar images of the surroundings while increasing reliability and decreasing overall cost of ownership with easy maintenance.

High image quality is achieved by the signal processor inside the antenna unit directly converting analog to digital signals before sending them to the main processor unit. Signals are safely transported though the Ethernet network between the antenna and below deck processing unit.

The new antenna shape suppresses aerodynamic drag and lightens the burden on the gear box. The gear box itself has also been redesigned. Decreased aerodynamic drag and DC brushless motor result in a very durable gear box that can be used for prolonged period of time.

Installation and maintenance are now easier than ever. All components of the gear box are integrated into one block that can easily be removed from the gear box when maintenance is required. The cable to the gear box can be connected from the side of the gear box.

Solid State Radar model – NXT – specialized in target detection and maintainability

FURUNO Solid State Radars emphasize quality and reliability, while also meeting the rigorous demands of the marine environment.

·         Clear images

FURUNO Solid State Radar technology generates clear echo images, which allows users to obtain a clear picture of the area around thier vessel, including weaker echoes from small craft.

·         Reduced maintenance and running costs

• No need for magnetron replacement
• Fewer consumable parts thanks to a fanless design (S-band only)

Fan-less Solid State antenna dramatically reduces maintenance costs for the magnetron and CPU fan.

·         Almost same power ability as conventional magnetron radar

Easy installation for new building as well as retrofits, with expanded capabilities

·         Selectable 27″ wide monitor (model: MU-270W)*

With the expanded wide monitor, 9 TT data boxes will be displayed on the screen. The color contrast of the display is excellent so that radar echo can be grasped at a glance.
* FAR-23×8 series only

·         Continuous usage of existing monitor, control unit and cables in retrofitting

When retrofitting in lieu of FAR-2xx7 series, existing monitor, control unit, and cables can be continuously used for FAR-22×8/23×8 series.

·         Easy, cost-less and eco-friendly setup for Ethernet communication

Optional LAN Signal Converter enables Ethernet communication. Also extension of the cable between antenna unit and processor unit utilizing existing cables when retrofitting is possible.

·         Ethernet connectivity with onboard system

Ethernet expands the radar’s capability with connection between either existing or newly installed system such as ECDIS and VDR.

·         Inter-switch which utilizes no other cables than LAN cable with the optional Ethernet HUB

·         DVI-I cable connectible to VDR in retrofitting
