The FAR-2157 (X-band) and 2167DS (S-band) are the
latest additions to the world-renowed FAR-21x7 series
radar. Their software and hardware are optimized for
shing operations, and they carry all the standard func­tions of the FAR-21x7 series.

Both radar incorporate state-of-the art signal/graphics
processing technology together with auto tuning, loga-

rithmic ampliers and anti-clutter controls, for superb

detection on all ranges. Thanks to its graphics process­ing technology, the echoes are expressively presented

with 32 gradations in accordance with reected echo

strength. The anti-clutter controls suppress the unwant­ed echoes from waves, rain and clouds. The combina­tion of these technologies ensures a clear image, even
in rough seas.

The FAR-2157 and 2167DS deliver a variety of use­ful functions to skippers. Direct Key control allows the

operators to activate specic settings with just a few

keystrokes. This feature is particularly important to one-

man shing operations, where quick setup of the radar

according to sea conditions is vital.

ARPA and echo trail functions are available to moni­tor the movement of targets precisely. With ARPA, the
targets are automatically or manually acquired, and their
movements, CPA and TCPA are computed and shown
in the cells on the right hand side of the screen.(For
acquisition of smaller targets such as birds and buoys,
they have to be manually acquired.) In addition, those
ship's tracks can be indicated in color, which the opera­tors can select from eight different colors. For extended
monitoring of target movement, the echo trail feature is
recommended. The trail color can be shown in 12 col­ors. When the multi color trail is selected, the trail color
changes over time. True motion echo trail is also avail­able.

The FAR-2157 and 2167DS consist of an antenna, 20.1"
LCD display, processor and control unit. For those who
prefer a different monitor, the BlackBox radar congura­tion is also available. The control unit is selectable from
Full-keyboard Control Unit and Palm Control Unit. With
a Palm Control Unit, all operations can be done by the
trackball.

Function & Direct Keys

s

30 often-used functions such as Anti-clutter Control or Echo Stretch, which are
customizable, are provided in the pre-set menu. F1 through F3 keys can be set up
to access the programs.(Function Keys)

You can also add 10 Direct Keys that memorize up to 10 steps of user­programmable actions on the F4 key.

When you are in a specic situation where rapid action is required, you can switch

to the saved settings quickly with one hand operation.

BlackBox conguration types are also available!

The BlackBox radar, consisting of an antenna, processor
and control unit. They work with virtually any size multi-sync
SXGA (1280×1024) LCD monitor. FURUNO also offers a
premier line of high-quality LCD monitors that are a perfect
complement to the FAR-2157-BB and 2167DS-BB radar
systems.

• Supports non-interlaced SXGA (1280×1024)
monitors with DVI-D input

• Presentation of very high-quality radar image by
employing new Digital Video Interface (DVI) techniques

The radar can be connected to an Ethernet network for
a variety of user requirements. Up to four radar systems
both X- and S-band can be networked without using an
extra device.

In addition, the essential navigational information
including the electronic chart, L/L, COG, SOG, STW, etc.
can be shared within the network.

X-band antenna for FAR-2157

50 kW TR up

(8 or 10 ft ANT selectable)

S-band antenna for FAR-2167DS

60 kW TR up

(10 or 12 ft ANT selectable)

The FAR-2167DS is a high-performance S-band radar with 60 kW of
output power.

Detection and tracking of sea birds from a distance has always been

very important for commercial shermen. The noticeable advantage of
the FAR-2167DS is its capability to detect ocks of seabirds. S-band

radar also assures target detection in adverse weather where an
X-band is heavily affected by sea or rain clutter.

The FAR-2157 radar is suitable for detection of vessels and
buoys under most sea conditions. The 50 kW high-power
output enables long range detection and its long antenna
delivers high-resolution images.
