Furuno 1815 8.4" Color LCD 19" 4kW 36 Nm Radar with 10M Cable
Use
Up To 3 Stations With
One Dome
The
multi-station configuration allows up to three RDP-157 (MODEL1815
displays) to be connected to a single antenna, via an ethernet hub,
without the need to install individual antenna units on each display. This
configuration provides a cost saving and dynamic setup for situations
requiring the ability to monitor the Radar from different locations on the
ship.
Affordable color radar with advanced features
The Furuno 1815 is a standalone Radar package that features an 8.4” color
LCD screen and stylish, low-profile 4kW radome antenna. It is designed for
a wide variety of vessels, including pleasure craft, workboats and small
fishing boats that require an easy-to-use, true color Radar at an
affordable price point.The unit allows you to select from several
adjustable display colors to ensure that it can be viewed in a variety of
conditions. The gimbal mount allows the display to swivel when desktop
mounted, allowing the user to adjust the display angle for optimal viewing
comfort. Overhead mounts are available for added flexibility or you can
flush mount it with a simple 5” hole saw.
Automatic gain reduction ensures a sharp picture
The automatic gain reduction on the 1815 makes use of algorithms that have
been refined over many decades of Furuno experience and innovation. This
means the 1815 is second to none in clutter rejection. With no input from
the user, this Radar will automatically eliminate unnecessary echoes and
present a clear display image with every sweep of its antenna. This
ensures that you will be able to acquire other vessels, buoys and objects
on the sea surface in good weather, or when sudden fog and storms make the
visibility poor. Other display modes include Off Center, allowing own
ship's position to be shifted to a pre-registered point on screen, and
Zoom, which will expand and display a selected target up to 2x in a zoom
window.

Fast Target Tracking and other new Furuno features
Furuno’s Fast Target Tracking (TT) function allows the user to manually or
automatically track up to 10 targets. After selecting a target, it takes
only seconds for a speed and course vector to be displayed, making quick
work of determining the safety of approaching or moving targets. When
using Furuno’s proprietary True Trail mode, moving objects will show a
gradation of target trails in their wake, making it possible to gauge the
movement of targets at-a-glance. When connected to a Furuno AIS, up to 100
targets can be tracked and displayed on the screen, allowing the operator
to instantly gather important information about other AIS-equipped vessels
nearby.
The 1815 also
utilizes Furuno’s True View mode to make reading the display more
intuitive. For example, when your vessel is turning, the echoes stay
consistent on the display, so you can constantly see the targets on the
screen, without waiting for them to update after the turn. This mode
proves to be especially useful when you are turning to avoid hazardous
targets.
