Ideal for Fishing Boats, and Pleasure Craft, this advanced Furuno Radar incorporates state-of-the-art video processing technology and logarithmic amplifiers with automatic tuning and anti-clutter controls. The dynamic picture quality is clearly shown on the FR-8062 high-resolution 12.1 inch Color LCD displays. The use of a portrait style LCD you observe the area ahead of the vessel. It's full screen echo presentation capability gives a wider overview of the surrounding area.
The FR 8062 features true color targets, and utilizes different colors according to their strengths. This is extremely helpful in discriminating target echos from clutter. Marks, symbols, lines, text and echoes are all displayed in different colors to easily distinguish one from the other. When connected to appropriate sensors, the FR-8062 can display True Echo Trail to present true target movements in accordance with their speed-over-ground and course-over-ground.
The antenna rotation speed can automatically be adjusted to achieve optimum detection, making them perfect for displaying crisp radar images in intricate or conjested waterways.
As advanced as it is, Furuno's FR8062 radar is extremely simple to operate, thanks to the neatly arranged front panel controls, two user programmable function keys, a trackball and an easy-to-understand menu. It has a selection of useful features, including two VRMs, and two floating EBL's, EBL/VRM offset, off centering to cursor position, zoom, echo trails, echo stretch, trackball cursor mark with range/bearing readout and a duplex guard zone alarm.
FR-8062 operators can select from four presentation modes: Head-up, Course-up, or North-up True Motion with optional heading and speed data inputs. In the True Motion mode, true echo trails can be displayed for easy recognition of moving or fixed targets. The radar guard zone lets you set a fan-or ring shaped guard zone at any desired position. Users can choose between inward-and outward-bound target alarms. These alarms provide both visual and audible warnings whenever a target enters or exits the selected areas.
By adding the optional ARP11 Auto Plotter, you can upgrade Furuno's FR8062 radar to provide automatic plotting of up to 10 targets and warnings against threatening targets violating preset CPA/TCPA limits. Match that with an optional AIS receiver and you can now see important information, such as AIS and ARPA targets displayed together on the screen with symbols and data cells at the bottom of the screen.
