PRE OWNED FURUNO IC-306 FURUNO IC-306 SWITCH

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Furuno IC-306 is a compact, panel-mount alarm unit designed to interface with Furuno’s range of Inmarsat-C Mobile Earth Stations. Its primary function is to notify the bridge officers of incoming telexes, e-mails, or distress-related messages.

Equipped with a high-visibility LED indicator and an internal buzzer, the IC-306 ensures that important satellite notifications are recognized even in high-noise environments. The front panel features a dedicated "ALARM RESET" button, allowing the user to silence the audio alert and acknowledge the notification directly from the bridge console.

TYPICAL CONDITION (USED/REFURBISHED)

As a common item in the Bhavnagar maritime market, the IC-306 is valued for its long-term reliability. During the refurbishing process, each unit is tested to ensure the "ALARM RESET" switch is responsive and that the buzzer meets the required decibel levels. We also inspect the LED lamp for brightness and verify that the rear terminal blocks are clean and free of salt-air oxidation.
