Features

• Target Analyzer™ function

  The Targe Analyzer™ function displays moving targets, stationary targets, rain, sea surface and targets closing in on your vessel in different colors. Spot hazardous targets directly, simply by their color. Target Analyzer™ can improve situational awareness, hence increasing safety at sea.
  

• Fast Target Tracking™ (TT)

  It only takes a few seconds after a target has been selected, for a speed and course vector to be displayed. With accurate tracking information, estimating other vessels course and speed is made easier.
  

• ACE function suppresses false echoes

  Quickly adjust the radar image with a single action. When Automatic Clutter Elimination (ACE) function is activated, the system automatically adjusts the clutter reduction lter and gain control according to the sea and weather conditions selected (Calm/Rough Sea/Hard Rain).
  

• Customize the display according to your needs

  FAR-1523-BB offers impressive customizability and freedom when it comes to display. Choose how you want echoes to be displayed so that you can maximize visibility and efficiency.
  

• Compact easy to use control unit

  Individual knobs for gain/rain/sea clutter suppression as well as RotoKey and a touch panel allow efficient, simple operation. An optional trackball unit as well as a regular USB mouse can also be used.
  

• Customizable data display for efficient and simple operation

  Whether it be a close up window of approaching targets or target information, you can customize the display freely to show the information you need at hand.

  

• Display Radar overlay on your connected GPS Chart Plotter

• AIS connectivity built-in

  Connect a required AIS transponder to overlay AIS targets on the radar display. Up to 40 different targets can be tracked simultaneously.

• High visibility MU-190 and MU-Display series

  19″ LCD MU-190, 15″ LCD MU-152HD and MU-152 are available as optional supply to fit the needs of your unique vessel. A high brightness display ensures great visibility in the most difficult of conditions.

• Scalable Ethernet Network System

  The 100 Base-TX Ethernet is utilized to network two radar systems together without the need for extra devices. For convenience, you can control both radars from any of the connected displays.
