The BlackBox radar system FR-2115-B,

FR-2125-B, FR-2155-B* and FR-2135S-B are custom
configured by adding a user’s favorite display to the blackbox
radar package. The package is based on a Furuno standard
radar used in the FR-21x5-B series with (FURUNO) monitor
which is designed to comply with IMO Res MSC.64(67)
Annex 4 for shipborne radar and A.823 (19) for ARPA
performance. The display unit may be selected from
virtually any size of multi-sync PC monitor, either a CRT
screen or flat panel LCD display.
The blackbox radar system is suitable for various ships
which require no specific type approval as a SOLAS
compliant radar.
The radar is available in a variety of configurations:
12, 25, 30 and 50* kW output, short or long antenna
radiator, 24 or 42 rpm scanner, with standard Electronic
Plotting Aid (EPA) and optional Automatic Radar Plotting
Aid (ARPA). These plotting aids help the operator monitor
and adjust CPA, TCPA, vector lengths, acquisition of
interested targets.
Radar echoes are presented in a selected color with a day or
night background color for easy observation under all lighting
conditions. Different colors are assigned for marks, symbols
and text for user-friendly operation. The control unit has logically
arranged controls in a combination of push keys, rotary controls
and a well-organized menu structure.
