Product Description
The Furuno DRS25AX 'X-Class' is a high - performance 25kW X - Band radar. It comes with a 6 - foot antenna and a 15 - meter cable. This radar offers enhanced target detection for both short and long ranges, with a minimum detection range of just 20 meters. It features Fast Target Tracking™ adopted from the commercial Radar FAR3000, which shows target course and speed vectors instantly, increasing vessel safety. The Bird Mode is a useful addition. The new pedestal unit is 20% lighter than the previous one, thanks to a new, low - noise motor. Installation is a breeze as there's no need to open the pedestal unit, and a new smart - connector cable simplifies things further. It's a 24V system, so a converter is needed for 12V power systems. Compatible with NavNet TZtouch and NavNet TZtouch2. With a maximum range of 96 nautical miles, it truly pushes the boundaries of conventional radar technology. Specifications include a 24vDC input voltage, optional antenna sizes of 3.5', 4', or 6', and horizontal beam widths that vary based on the antenna size. What's in the box? You'll get a scanner unit, fuses, various nuts and washers, an installation manual, a mounting template, an environmental data sheet, a 15M signal/power cable, and a 6 - foot antenna.
Using the Furuno DRS25AX is straightforward. First, check your power system. Since it's a 24V system, if you have a 12V power system, you'll need to connect a converter. Then, install the radar using the included mounting template and parts. You don't have to open the pedestal unit for installation, which makes it easy. When using it, take advantage of the Fast Target Tracking™ feature by pressing the button to quickly see target course and speed vectors. This can help you stay safe on your vessel. For the Bird Mode, use it when you want to detect birds or other small objects. As for maintenance, keep the antenna clean and free from debris. Check the cables regularly for any signs of wear or damage. Also, refer to the installation manual for any specific maintenance instructions. Remember, this radar is compatible with NavNet TZtouch and NavNet TZtouch2, so make sure your system is up - to - date for the best performance.
