Specification of Furuno Radar F 1715
Model 1715 is a high contrast LCD radar designed for pleasure craft and small fishing boats. Radar echoes were introduced in four shade of gray in the 7 "Silver Bright LCD. The Radar offers detailed pictures - pictures of coastline and targets at short ranges thanks to narrower pulselengths and dual IF bandwidths. The antenna rotation speed automatically changes depending on the range selection for optimum target detection. The compact, the waterproof display allows table top or panel mounting in the cockpit or on the open fly bridge.
The radar has a power saving Watchman mode. In this mode, the antenna is stopped and the transmission is off, while the screen displays nav data only. The radar wakes up at a specified time interval (5, 10 or 20 min) and operates for a minute. If a target enters the Guard Zone, an audible alarm sounds and the radar goes into its normal operating mode, canceling the Watchman mode. Alarms may also be used to work on the target leaving a zone.
Other Standard Features include: EBL (Electronic Bearing Line), VRM (Variable Range Marker), TLL output (Target L / L), Cursor L / L readout, Echo Trail, Guard Zone Alarm, Anti Clutter Rain, Automatic control of tuning and sensitivity. Full A / C RAIN improve the target detection in the rain by elaborate design of the receiver.
By using the Nav Data Input NMEA 0183 format, the radar offers additional functions. Graphical and numeric waypoint information can be shown on the screen. Waypoint is marked by a sign-stemmed candy for easy identification on the radar screen. TLL output function, you can use the cursor to output a specified target L / L to the optional GPS navigator as a mark.
