Furuno MODEL 1815 8.4'' Colour LCD Radar 36NM 4KW

Compact radar for safety at sea

The new Furuno MODEL 1815 8.4" Colour LCD Radar is designed for small to medium sized fishing boats. It features easy to use, intuitive controls while maintaining the high performance you expect from Furuno. Even in poor visibility such as fig or stors, the radar produces detailed pictures of coastline and targets at short ranges by utilising narrow pulses and dual IF bandwidths. The waterproof display makes it ideal for exposed installations, such as fly bridges.

The MODEL 1815 utilises Fast Target Tracking, True Trail Mode and True View Mode technologies to ensure optimum performance in detecting and ranging targets of interest.

Fast Target Tracking (TT) function
Fast Target Tracking function manually or automatically acquires and tracks 10 targets. After selecting a target, it only takes a few seconds for a speed and course vector to be displaed. With accurate tracking information, estimation of other vessel's course and speed is made easier.

True Trail mode
When using the True Trail mode, moving objects will show up on the main screen with a gradational trail. These trails make it possible to see the movement of nearby vessels in the blink of an eye.

AIS display
When connecting a FURUNO FA-30/50 AIS unit (sold separately), up to 100 AIS targets can be tracked and displayed on the Radar screen. The AIS improves safety during travel by sharing the status and position of your vessel with other AIS-equipped vessels nearby. You can easily read detailed information about other AIS equipped vessels nearby, such as speed and heading.

Advanced auto-adjust settings for Gain/Sea clutter/Rain clutter
To display targets clearly and accurately, the gain must adjusted. The MODEL 1815 can do this automatically for you. By automatically adjusting the gain, the Radar eliminates unnecessary echoes and display a clear image.

Adjustable display colours
You can select the color scheme depending on your environment. From brightly sunlit to dark of the night, displayed images can always be seen
