Furuno DRS12AX 12kW UHD Digital Radar - Less Antenna Cable [DRS12AX]

The Furuno DRS12AX 'X-Class' 12kW UHD Digital Radar is a game - changer, pushing the limits of traditional radar technology. It offers a huge improvement in almost every aspect. With enhanced short - range detection and an amazing long - range detection up to 96 nautical miles, it gives you a clear view of the sea. The redesigned pedestal unit is 20% lighter than older models and has a new motor that runs quietly. Paired with an updated smart - connector cable, setting it up and keeping it maintained is a breeze. It also features the Fast Target Tracking™ function from the commercial Radar FAR3000. Just press a button, and you can instantly see target course and speed vectors, which boosts your situational awareness and vessel safety. Key features include 12kW power output, excellent short and long - range target detection with a minimum detection range of only 20 m, Bird Mode, and more. It doesn't need a PSU, cutting down on costs. Installation is easy without opening the pedestal unit. You can choose from 3.5'/4'/6' antennas, but it requires a Signal/Power Cable. It's compatible with NavNet TZtouch and NavNet TZtouch2, not with NavNet 3D or earlier models. It's a 24V system, so you'll need a converter for 12V power systems. Note that this product can't be returned to the original purchase point. Contact the manufacturer directly for any issues.

Using the Furuno DRS12AX radar is quite straightforward. First, select the appropriate antenna size (3.5', 4', or 6') according to your needs. Connect the Signal/Power Cable to set up the basic connection. If your power system is 12V, make sure to use a converter as this radar is a 24V system. When you start the radar, use the Fast Target Tracking™ function by pressing the relevant button. This will quickly show you the target course and speed vectors, helping you stay aware of your surroundings. As for maintenance, since the pedestal unit is light and doesn't require opening for installation, it's easy to keep an eye on. Check the smart - connector cable regularly for any signs of wear. Also, as it doesn't need a PSU, there's one less thing to worry about. Remember, this product can't be returned to the place you bought it from. If you face any problems, reach out to the manufacturer right away.
