Life Expectancy of Major Parts

This radar has consumable parts, and the table that follows shows the estimated life
expectancy for the consumable parts. Life expectancy estimates are based on use un-
der normal conditions. Request a FURUNO agent or dealer to replace the consumable
parts, to get the best performance and longest possible life from the equipment.
Part
Antenna Motor D8G-516
Carbon Brush S885026-1A-61
Magnetron MAF1611B (4kW, FR-1908V-
BB)
MAF1615B (12kW, FR-
1918V-BB)
Note: The magnetron is a consumable item. The effectiveness of your magnetron will
decrease over time, causing lower-than-normal signal strength and loss of echoes.
Magnetrons should be changed regularly. The table above shows the typical life-span
of a magnetron used under normal conditions.
