Furuno FR-8062 User friendly Control Knobs, Advanced Auto Mode, Choice Of Antenna Units

FURUNO’s new high-performance FR-8002 series

fully complies with the IEC testing standard for small radar

The FURUNO FR-8002 series is a new 12.1" color radar that displays high

quality radar images. The FR-8002 series fully complies with IEC 62252

testing standard for small radar to enhance the safety of your boating life.

The FR-8002 series radar presents outstanding short-range detection

capability, detecting objects at the range of 20 m. The distance

resolution is as fine as 15 m, helping to distinguish small targets in

congested waterways. The maximum detection range has been greatly

extended, thanks to the high sensitivity of its antenna radiator.

In addition, its high antenna rotation speed, of 48 rpm, allows the FR-8002

to be utilized on high speed craft and river vessels. The antenna rotation

speed can be automatically adjusted according to the selected range

scale. The range scale of this radar series can also be switched to display

kilometers for use in rivers.

User friendly Control Knobs

Control knobs for fine adjustment of gain, anti-clutter rain and sea.

Advanced Auto Mode

The FR-8002 series is capable of constantly presenting the best possible pictures by simply pressing the respective knobs. The advanced auto mode automatically adjusts the tuning, gain and anti clutter controls. These settings can also be manually adjusted by turning the respective knobs on the front panel.

Choice Of Antenna Units

The FR-8002 series offers flexibility in its utilization for river-use, as well as, high-speed craft with its high speed antenna rotation. The antenna rotation speed can automatically be adjusted according to the selected range scale for optimum detection.

customized operating mode. Up to three programs can be registered with specific settings for clutter controls and unwanted echo suppression, antenna rotation speed, etc., according to the given situation and specific usage.

i.e. GPS, the FR-8002 series can display True Echo Trails to present true target movements in accordance with their speed-over-ground and course-over-ground. This mode provides intuitive monitoring of moving targets.

In this brochure, the echo images go beyond the outer most ring and cover the data area. The FR-8002 series does that to present wider overview of the surrounding area. The FR-8002 series can also restrict the presentation of echo images within the ring as in the ordinary radar setting.
