Using the Furuno DRS12AX 12Kw X - Band Radar is easy. First, make sure you have the right power source. Since it's a 24V system, if you have a 12V power system, you'll need to use a converter. Install the radar by following the steps in the installation manual. You won't have to open the pedestal unit, which simplifies the process. The new smart - connector cable makes it even easier. When using it, you can enjoy the enhanced target detection for both short and long distances. Just press a button to use the Fast Target Tracking™ function and get instant display of target course and speed vectors. For maintenance, keep an eye on the pedestal unit and the cable. The pedestal's new motor is low - noise, but if you notice any unusual sounds, it might need a check. There's no PSU, which means less to worry about in terms of power - supply maintenance. Also, refer to the environmental data sheet for information on using it in different conditions.
