KEY FEATURES & APPLICATIONS

High-Resolution Color Display: The 4.3" screen uses color-coded symbols to differentiate between vessel types, base stations, and dangerous targets, allowing for instant recognition.

Bridge Alert Management (BAM): Fully compliant with IMO MSC.302(87), ensuring seamless connection to centralized bridge alarm systems.

Advanced Networking: Unlike older models, the FA-170 features a LAN (Ethernet) port, allowing for simplified data sharing with Furuno NavNet, FAR-series Radars, and ECDIS.

AIS-SART & MOB Tracking: Provides dedicated symbols and prioritized alerts for Life-saving Search and Rescue Transponders and Man Overboard devices.

Dangerous Target List: Automatically sorts and highlights vessels that pose a collision risk based on user-defined CPA (Closest Point of Approach) and TCPA limits.

Inland AIS Ready: Includes specialized operational modes for European Inland Waterway requirements (Blue Sign support).

Compact "Space-Saving" Design: The monitor unit is designed for easy flush-mounting in crowded consoles, and a retrofit kit is available to fit it into the same cutout as an older FA-150.

TYPICAL CONDITION (USED/REFURBISHED)

Display Health: Color LCDs are checked for "dead pixels" or color degradation.

Component List: Usually sold as a set including the FA-1701 Transponder, FA-1702 Monitor, and GPA-017S GPS Antenna.
