Product Description
The Furuno DRS6AX is a powerful 6kW UHD digital radar equipped with a 6' antenna and a 15M cable. Model: DRS6AX/6. It offers enhanced target detection at both short and long ranges, with a minimum detection range of just 20 m. The Fast Target Tracking™ function, adopted from the commercial Radar FAR3000, instantly displays target course and speed vectors, increasing situational awareness and vessel safety. It also features a Bird Mode. The new pedestal unit is 20% lighter than the previous DRS6A unit and has an updated low - noise motor. There's no need for a PSU, which cuts down on total costs. Installation is easy without opening the pedestal unit, thanks to the new smart - connector cable. This is a 24V system, so a converter is required for 12V power systems. It's compatible with NavNet TZtouch and NavNet TZtouch2. The DRS6AX pushes the limits of conventional radar technology, with improved short - range detection and an impressive 120 - nautical - mile long - range detection. Specifications include an antenna rotation speed of 24/36/48 rpm range coupled or 24rpm fixed, a beam width of 1.35d Horizontal 22d Vertical, range scales from 0.0625 to 120 nm, IP56 waterproofing, and a 24vDC 4.0A power supply. The box includes a 001 - 376 - 480 - 00 15m cable, an RSB134 - 112 pedestal, and an XN13A/6 6' antenna.
Using the Furuno DRS6AX radar is straightforward. First, make sure you have the right power supply. Since it's a 24V system, if you're using a 12V power system, you'll need to connect a converter. The installation is easy; you don't have to open the pedestal unit because of the new smart - connector cable. Just follow the instructions and connect the cable properly. When you turn it on, you can start using the radar to detect targets. The Fast Target Tracking™ function is very useful. Press the button, and it will quickly show you the target's course and speed vectors, helping you be more aware of what's around your vessel. You can also switch to the Bird Mode if needed. For maintenance, keep the radar clean and check the waterproofing regularly as it has an IP56 rating. Make sure the pedestal unit's motor, which is low - noise, is running smoothly. If you notice any issues, refer to the user manual or contact Furuno's support team. Remember to store it in a dry place when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
