Furuno 6kW UHD Digital Radar - Less Antenna and Cable [DRS6AX]

The DRS6AX 'X-Class' is a revolutionary radar from FURUNO. It breaks the limits of traditional radar technology, offering significant improvements in almost every aspect. With a 6kW power output, it provides excellent short - range detection starting from just 20M and an amazing long - range detection up to 120 nautical miles. The redesigned pedestal unit is 20% lighter than the previous DRS6AX model, and its updated motor runs much quieter. Thanks to the new smart - connector cable, installation and maintenance are a breeze. It also features the Fast Target Tracking™ function from the commercial Radar FAR3000. With just a press of a button, you can instantly see target course and speed vectors, enhancing situational awareness and vessel safety. Other features include Bird Mode, no need for a PSU to cut costs, easy installation without opening the pedestal unit, a choice of 3.5', 4' or 6' Antenna, compatibility with NavNet TZtouch and NavNet TZtouch2 (not for NavNet 3D or earlier models). It's a 24V system, so a converter is needed for 12V power systems and a signal/power cable is required. Specifications: Power Output: 6kW, Box Dimensions: 16'H x 17'W x 19'L, Weight: 22 lbs, UPC: 611679364463.

Using the Furuno 6kW UHD Digital Radar DRS6AX is quite straightforward. First, make sure you have the right power supply. If you're using a 12V power system, you'll need to connect a converter as the radar is a 24V system. Also, connect the required signal/power cable. You can choose from 3.5', 4' or 6' antennas according to your needs. When it comes to installation, thanks to the new smart - connector cable, you don't have to open the pedestal unit, which simplifies the process. Once installed, turn on the radar and use the Fast Target Tracking™ function by pressing the corresponding button to quickly get target course and speed vectors. For maintenance, keep the radar clean and dry. Check the pedestal unit regularly, especially the motor. Since it's lighter and has a low - noise design, it's generally reliable, but any signs of abnormal noise should be checked. Remember, this radar is compatible with NavNet TZtouch and NavNet TZtouch2, not with NavNet 3D or earlier models, so use the right compatible devices for the best performance.
