Features
Advanced technologies for navigation safety
The Furuno FAR-22×8/23×8 series is a brand-new Radar series characterized by its state-of-the-art antenna design and innovative signal processing technologies. Furuno’s latest, advanced technologies and intuitive design will increase situational awareness, facilitating unparalleled navigational safety.
Automatic Clutter Elimination (ACE) for unprecedented echo clarity
Quickly adjusts the Radar image with a single button press. When the ACE function is activated, the system automatically optimizes clutter reduction filters and gain control according to the sea and weather conditions.

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 comfortably accommodate the operator’s hand. All operations can be controlled with the trackball.
Refined antenna with excellent reliability and easy maintenance
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.
Signals are safely transported though the Ethernet network between the antenna and below deck processing unit, allowing for higher reliability. High quality images are obtained by the signal processor inside the antenna unit, directly converting analog to digital signals before sending them to the main processor unit.
The new antenna’s refined shape significantly reduces aerodynamic drag and lightens the burden on the gear box.The gear box itself has also been redesigned. Decreased aerodynamic drag and a DC brushless motor result in a very durable gear box that can be used for a 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.
-
Clear images
Furuno Solid State Radar technology generates clear echo images, which allows users to obtain a clear picture of the area around their vessel, including weaker echoes from small crafts.
-
Reducing the time and cost for maintenance
- No need to replace the magnetron
- Removal of the consumable parts thanks to a fan-less antenna (S-band only)
Easy installation for new building as well as retrofits, with high flexibility
-
27″ wide monitor (model: MU-270W) selectable*
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 -
Existing monitor, control unit and cables can be used in retrofitting*
* Only when retrofitting in lieu of FAR-2xx7 series
-
Optional LAN Signal Converter enables Ethernet communication
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 systems, such as ECDIS and VDR.
-
With the optional Ethernet HUB, Inter-switch can be utilized
-
DVI-I cable is connectible to VDR in retrofitting
How to connect VDR with FAR-22×8/23×8 series
VR-7000/7000S Directly connect VDR with LAN or convert the RGB signal from a DVI-I port using video LAN converter, and input to the VDR. VR-3000/3000S Directly input the RGB signal from a DVI-I port to the VDR. Other manufacturer’s VDR Please check with the VDR manufacturer to connect appropriately. ICE mode*
ICE mode visualizes ice structures and find the best route through iced sea surface. Finding the optimum route to go through ice, the vessel consumes much less power and saves fuel and time.
* Compatible with X-band radar (both magnetron and solid state)
