Product Description
The Furuno DRS6AX 6kw UHD Digital Radar comes with a 4' antenna and a 15M cable. Model: DRS6AX/4. It features a 6kW power output, enabling enhanced target detection both near and far. With a minimum detection range of just 20 m, it quickly spots nearby objects. The Fast Target Tracking™ function, borrowed from commercial radar, shows target course and speed vectors instantly, boosting vessel safety. The Bird Mode is handy for specific uses. The new pedestal unit is 20% lighter than the previous DRS6A, with an updated low - noise motor. It doesn't need a PSU, cutting costs. Installation is a breeze without opening the pedestal, thanks to the new smart - connector cable. This 24V system needs a converter for 12V power. It's compatible with NavNet TZtouch and NavNet TZtouch2. The DRS6A X - Class Radar pushes radar technology boundaries, offering excellent short - and long - range detection up to 120 nautical miles. Specifications include an antenna rotation speed of 24/36/48 rpm range coupled or 24rpm fixed, a beam width of 1.9d Horizontal 22d Vertical, range scales from 0.0625 to 120 nm, IP56 waterproofing, and a 24vDC 4.0A power supply. The box contains a 001 - 376 - 480 - 00 15m Cable, an RSB134 - 112 Pedestal, and an XN12A/4 4' Antenna.
Using the Furuno DRS6AX radar is straightforward. First, install the pedestal and antenna in a suitable location on your vessel. Connect the 15M cable to the radar unit using the smart - connector. If your vessel has a 12V power system, use the converter to connect the radar, as it's a 24V system. Once installed, power on the radar. You can select different range scales according to your needs, from 0.0625 to 120 nautical miles. Use the Fast Target Tracking™ function by pressing the relevant button to get instant target course and speed vectors. For areas with birds, switch on the Bird Mode. When it comes to maintenance, keep the radar unit dry as it has IP56 waterproofing. Check the pedestal motor regularly for any unusual noises or vibrations. If you're not using the radar for a long time, store it in a cool and dry place. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for any software updates.
