(Item # : Furuno-1715_Radar)
By Furuno
The MODEL 1715 is a high contrast LCD
radar designed for pleasure craft and small fishing boats. Radar echoes are
presented in four shades of gray on the 7" Silver Bright LCD. The Radar offers
detailed 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, 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, cancelling the Watchman mode. The
alarm may also be set to work for a target leaving the 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. The
A/C RAIN control improves the target detection in the rain by elaborate design
of the receiver.
With use of nav data inputs in NMEA 0183 format, the radar offers additional
functions. Graphical and numeric waypoint information can be shown on the
display. The Waypoint is indicated by a lollipop mark for easy identification on
the radar display. In the TLL output function, you can use the cursor to output
a specified target's L/L to the optional GPS navigator as a mark.
