FURUNO's FAR-21x7BB series of X- and S-band BlackBox
Radars are constructed with our finest commercial grade
components and technology. These precision quality radar
systems are designed for high end vessels and offer
advanced target detection performance for safe navigation.
The Black Box Radars work with virtually any size multi-sync
SXGA (1280 x 1024) LCD or CRT monitor. Furuno also
offers a premier line of high-quality LCD monitors that are a
perfect compliment to the FAR-21x7BB Radar series.
FURUNO's MU-155C is a high-resolution LCD monitor that
features a variety of features and inputs, including 2 RGB
analog, 1 DVI-D and 3 NTSC/PAL video inputs. Connecting
a high-resolution SXGA monitor provides crisp radar images,
which are presented in selectable colors with a day and
night background for easy observation in any lighting
condition. Different colors are assigned for marks, symbols
and text for user-friendly operation.
Target detection is enhanced by employing sophisticated
signal processing techniques such as echo stretch, echo
average and anti-clutter functions. With useful functions
including ARPA, AIS target display, target trail, chart overlay
and radar map, the operator can improve navigation
efficiency and safety while cruising.
The radar antenna is available with 4, 6.5, or 8 ft radiator.
For the X-band, the rotation speed is selectable from 24 rpm
for standard radar or 42 rpm for high speed craft (HSC). The
S-band radar is 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.
Trackball Control Unit
Use the Trackball Control Unit as a
remote control for the main Control
Unit, or as the main system controller
for those helms with limited space.
Control Unit
Various menu options can be easily selected
with the use of the trackball and scroll wheel.
All of the settings are assigned
to icons on the screen, which
can be easily selected with
single-hand operation.

The sunlight viewable MU-155C is
a 15" Color TFT LCD monitor and is
an ideal match for the FAR-21x7BB
series. The monitor features 2 RGB
analog, 1 DVI-D and 3 NTSC/PAL
video inputs. Use the NTSC/PAL
input for picture in picture (PIP)

The radar can be connected to an Ethernet network for
a variety of user requirements. Each of X- and S-band
radars can be interconnected without requiring extra
options. Up to four radar sets 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.

Chart Overlay
A variety of navigational information, own ship status, radar

other shipborne sensors are displayed in the cells.
Target Trails Radar Map
The target trails feature
generates monotone or gradual
shading afterglow on all objects
on the display. This feature is
useful to show own ship
movement and other ship tracks
in a specific fishing operation.
The trail time is adjustable at 30
seconds intervals or continuous.
Up to 200 waypoints and
up to 30 routes can be
stored. Each route may
contain up to 30
waypoints. A radar map is
a combination of map
lines and marks. The radar
map has the capacity of
20,000 points for lines and
marks.
