Furuno FAR-2817 Brochure & Specs page 3

The revolutionary FAR-28x7 series of X- and S-band radars are
the result of FURUNO's 50 years of experience in marine electronics
and advanced computer technology. This series is designed to meet
the exacting standards of the International Maritime Organization
...
(IMO) for all ships.
The display unit employs a 23.1" LCD which provides an effective
picture diameter of larger than 340 mm. The SXGA monitor provides
crisp radar images, which are presented in a selectable color with
a day and night background color for easy observation in all lighting
conditions. Different colors are assigned for marks, symbols and texts
for user-friendly operations.
Target detection is enhanced by sophisticated signal processing
techniques.Two guard zones can be set at required ranges in any
sector. Other ship's movements are assessed by advanced target
tracking software and alerted by CPA/TCPA data readouts.
The FAR-28x7 series can display AIS-equipped
ships, when connected with an AIS transponder.
The radar antenna is available with 4, 6.5, or 8 feet
radiator. For the X-band, the rotation speed is
selectable from 24 rpm for standard radars or 42
rpm for HSC. The S-band radar is also available
with the antenna radiator of 10 or 12 feet. The S-
band radar assures target detection in adverse
weather where an X-band is heavily affected by sea
or rain clutter.

The radars can be connected to an Ethernet network for
a variety of user requirements. SOLAS Chapter V as
amended requires X- and S-band radars for ships 3000
GT and over. Each of X- and S-band radars can be
interswitched without using an extra option. Up to four
radars can be interchanged in the network. In addition,
the essential navigational information including
the electronic chart, L/L, COG, SOG, STW, etc.
can be shared in the network.
