1.3 Control Unit

Mounting considerations

The control unit may be mounted on a desktop, with or without the KB fixing metal (supplied) which mounts the control unit at an angle. When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the fol- lowing points:

Select a location where the control unit can be operated conveniently while observing the dis- play screen.

Locate the unit away from heat sources because of heat that can build up inside the cabinet.

Locate the equipment away from places subject to water splash and rain.

Determine the mounting location considering the length of the signal cable between the control unit and the processor unit. (A 10 m signal cable is attached to the control unit.)

A magnetic compass will be affected if the control unit is placed too close to it. Observe the com- pass safe distances on page ii to prevent interference to a magnetic compass.

Mounting procedure

Fixing with KB (keyboard) fixing plate

The KB fixing plate sits the control unit at a comfortable angle, like the retractable legs on a PC keyboard.

1.Fix the KB fixing plate to the bottom of the control unit.

2.Attach cushions (three for RCU-014, two for RCU-015/RCU-016) to the bottom of the control unit as shown below.

3.Fix the unit to a desired location with self-tapping screws (local supply).

FAR-2157 specifications

The Furuno FAR-2157 is a cutting-edge radar system specifically designed for marine applications, offering superior performance and advanced features. As part of the renowned FAR series, the FAR-2157 stands out with its impressive capabilities, making it essential for navigating both commercial and leisure vessels.

One of the main features of the FAR-2157 is its 12 kW transmitter, which facilitates long-range detection and precise target tracking. The radar operates on the X-band frequency, ensuring high-resolution imagery and outstanding target separation in various conditions. This enables operators to detect small targets and navigate safely, even in congested waters.

Equipped with Furuno's advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology, the FAR-2157 enhances target detection by reducing clutter and improving signal clarity. This results in an increased ability to identify vessels, buoys, and landmasses, thereby greatly enhancing situational awareness.
