PRE OWNED FURUNO FAR - 2127 FURUNO FAR - 2127 MARINE RADAR

PRODUCT DATA SHEET: FURUNO FAR-2127 ARPA RADAR (USED/REFURBISHED)

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Furuno FAR-2127 is a 25 kW X-Band ARPA radar designed to meet strict IMO standards for safety and performance. Featuring advanced signal processing techniques—including Multi-Level Quantization (MLQ) and Echo Averaging—it provides a crisp, high-resolution radar image on its 19" SXGA monitor. As a used or refurbished system, it remains a top choice for commercial operators who require maximum detection range (up to 96 NM) and rugged reliability in a proven, non-touchscreen interface.

KEY FEATURES & APPLICATIONS

25 kW Penetration: The high-power 25 kW transceiver provides significantly better target detection at long ranges and through heavy precipitation compared to standard 12 kW models.

Sophisticated Signal Processing: Uses Echo Stretch and Echo Average functions to suppress sea/rain clutter, making small targets (like wooden boats or buoys) much easier to identify.

Customizable Presentation: Offers "Day" and "Night" background colors and 32 levels of echo quantization for a high-contrast, easy-to-read display in any lighting condition.

Dual Guard Zones: Features two independent guard zones that trigger visual and audible alarms if any target enters the predefined safety perimeter.

Networking & Interswitch: Up to four FAR-21x7/28x7 radars can be networked via Ethernet, allowing for sensor sharing and a secondary station without a dedicated interswitch unit.

Ergonomic Control: The RCU-014 keyboard unit features a high-precision trackball and rotary knobs for Gain/Sea/Rain clutter, allowing for fast adjustments during critical maneuvers.

VideoPlotter Integration: Allows for the overlay of electronic charts and the creation of radar maps with up to 20,000 points to mark coastlines, fairways, and hazards.

TYPICAL CONDITION (USED/REFURBISHED)

Components: A standard used set typically includes the RPU-013 Processor, MU-190 Monitor, RCU-014 Keyboard, and RSB-096 Gearbox.

Maintenance Check: Refurbished units are typically checked for the Magnetron (MG5436) health and the condition of the antenna drive motor/gears.

Retrofit: Often used as a high-power upgrade for vessels replacing an older FAR-2117 or FR-2125 series radar.
