The FURUNO FR-1505/1510/1525 MARK-3 X-band
radars will reinforce Furuno's long established
tradition of high performance and reliability. They
meet the exacting international and national
performance standards for use on ships requiring a
radar with the display diameter of 180 mm.
The Video Plotter RP-17 is available when Radar
Mapping function is also required.

The 1505/1510/1525 MARK-3 employ advanced
video processing techniques for improved noise
rejection and automatic clutter suppression.
They also feature clearly distinguished target trails
from real targets by different color tones and accurate
plotting, manually or automatically.

Five presentation modes are available: Head-up,
Course-up, North-up, Head-up true bearing and True
Motion with appropriate heading and speed data in
IEC 61162 format.

A wide choice of antenna types is offered to meet the
varying needs of individual installations. A high­speed scanner (42 rpm) is optionally available
instead of standard 24 rpm.

Standard features include dual VRMs/EBLs where
No.1 EBL may be off-centered and has a range
marker on it, true/relative target trails, echo stretch,
two target alarm zones, trackball for direct
range/bearing readout, EPA, quick restart of
transmission in case of accidental power-off, etc.

Two target alarm zones can be set in any sector at a
desired range. Visual and audible warnings are
produced to warn of a target entering the target alarm
zone or preset CPA/TCPA zone.

The standard EPA (Electronic Plotting Aid) permits
you to plot up to 10 targets. For SOLAS Convention
ships, the Auto Plotter ARP-17 (ATA) and Video
Plotter RP-17 are optionally available.

Target acquisition: Automatic or manual acquisition of up to

20 targets in 0.2-32 nm
Tracking range: 0.1-32 nm
Vector length: 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 15, 30 min, true or relative
Audio-visual alarm: Produced against lost targets and threatening

targets
Target data display: Range, bearing, course, speed and CPA/TCPA

of a chosen target

The Video Plotter RP-17 provides radar maps and storage of
navigation events on two IC cards - a memory card (RAM) for storing
the operator-created radar maps and a chart card (ROM) storing
FURUNO made digital charts. The memory card retains operator­created radar maps of a maximum of 3,000 points. A radar map is a
combination of map lines and symbols whereby the user can define
and input the navigation data, route planning and monitoring data.
The chart card (ROM) can drive the Electronic Reference Chart
(ERC) - digital chart published by the Japanese Hydrographic
Bureau. Nav lines, coastlines, buoys, etc. produced by operator by
3000 points in Radar mode, 6000 points with 98 waypoints and 10
routes on IC card in Chart mode at intervals of 0-30 s.

Provided with ship's heading and speed data, the FR-1505/1510/
1525 MARK-3 present true echo trails which permit intuitive
recognition of surrounding situation without smearing of stationary
targets, such as land. Relative echo trails are useful for identifying
a target on a collision course. The echo trails are displayed in
monotone or multilevel shading with a trail length selected between
15 s and 30 min, or continuously.

Radar Plotting Facilities

The new IMO Resolution defines 3 types of radar plotting
facilities: Electronic Plotting Aid (EPA), Automatic Tracking
Aid (ATA) and Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (ARPA).
All these Plotting Aids generate CPA and TCPA and

collision alerts, complying with all IMO and IEC standards.
The FR-1505/1510/1525 MARK-3 provide EPA and ATA*.

* with optional ARP-17

Electronic plotting of 10 targets according to the
new IMO and IEC standards. Automatically
redraw vectors between manual plots, drops off
vectors if not plotted more than 10 min as
required by IMO/IEC.
