SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Do not open the cover unless totally familiar with electrical circuits and service manual.

High voltage exists inside the equipment, and a residual charge remains in capacitors several minutes after the power is turned off. Improper handling can result in electri- cal shock.

Turn off the power at the switchboard before beginning the installation.

Fire or electrical shock can result if the power is left on.

Do not install the equipment where it may get wet from rain or water splash.

Water in the equipment can result in fire, electrical shock or equipment damage.

Be sure no water leaks in at the trans- ducer installation site.

Water leakage can sink the vessel. Also confirm that the transducer will not loosen by ship’s vibration. The installer of the equipment is solely responsible for the proper installation of the equipment. FURUNO will assume no responsibility for any damage associated with improper installation.

WARNING

Install the specified transducer tank in accordance with the installation instructions. If a different tank is to be installed the shipyard is solely respon- sible for its installation, and it should be installed so the hull will not be damaged if the tank strikes an object.

The tank or hull may be damaged if the tank strikes an object.

If a steel tank is installed on a wooden or FRP vessel, take appropriate measures to prevent electrolytic corrosion.

Electrolytic corrosion can damage the hull.

Be sure that the power supply is compatible with the voltage rating of the equipment.

Connection of an incorrect power supply can cause fire or equipment damage. The voltage rating of the equipment appears on the label above the power connector.

CAUTION

Ground the equipment to prevent electrical shock and mutual interference.

CSH-24F, CSH-23F, CSH-23, CSH-24 specifications

Furuno, a leader in marine electronics, has developed a range of advanced marine radar systems known as the CSH series. The CSH-24, CSH-23, CSH-23F, and CSH-24F are particularly notable for their innovative technologies, designed to enhance navigational safety and operational efficiency for vessels of various sizes.

The CSH-24 and CSH-23 models are known for their impressive 24 GHz and 23 GHz frequency bands, offering high-resolution imagery and enhanced target detection capabilities. These radars utilize Furuno’s digital signal processing technology, which significantly improves target discrimination, even in cluttered environments. This feature is invaluable for navigational safety, especially in busy waterways or coastal areas.

One of the key highlights of the CSH series is its advanced Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (ARPA) functionality, which enables the proactive monitoring of marine traffic. With the ability to track multiple targets simultaneously, mariners can make more informed decisions, avoiding potential collisions and ensuring smoother navigation. Additionally, the systems provide enhanced Tracking History that allows users to analyze target movements over time.

The CSH-24F and CSH-23F models incorporate Furuno's cutting-edge features, including Fast Target Tracking and Target Predictive Motion, which further enhances reactive capabilities. These radars also offer an intuitive user interface, making it easy to operate and customize settings to fit specific navigational requirements. The displays are designed for readability, even under challenging lighting conditions, thanks to advanced anti-glare technologies.

Built with ruggedness in mind, the CSH series is designed to withstand harsh marine environments. The robust construction and weatherproof design ensure that the systems perform reliably, regardless of sea conditions. Moreover, these radar systems are compatible with a range of marine integration options, allowing for seamless connectivity with other onboard navigation equipment.

In summary, the Furuno CSH-24, CSH-23, CSH-23F, and CSH-24F radars embody a blend of advanced technology, robust design, and user-friendly interfaces. These systems stand out in the marine electronics market for their reliability and precision, making them an excellent choice for maritime professionals seeking enhanced safety and efficiency on the water.
