Furuno FR1918VBB Radar

FURUNO

The Furuno FR1918VBB Radar is a reliable River Radar that offers Furuno’s top quality performance and ease of operation. For the first time, a Furuno radar can be operated with only a mouse! Thanks to its compact components, this portrait-oriented River Radar is simple to install. The available slim LED TFT screen produces a clear and contrast-strong image both day and night, and can be dimmed down to almost zero if necessary. Thanks to the unique optional PC mouse operation, the FR19x8VBB River Radar is incredibly easy to use.

The Portrait orientation of this River Radar allows you to see more detail ahead and behind the vessel, where it counts. Operation of the Radar is simplified, and all settings are menu-driven and easy to update. Working with the FR1918VBB is a whole new experience thanks to the unique operation with just a mouse or touch-pad. A compact processor and control unit enables a simple installation, and the logical controller and optional mouse connection allows for comfortable and intuitive operation. Dual Radar combination is possible, allowing for the display of two River Radar systems on one screen, and up to four Antennas and Processors can be networked together for a complete view of the situation around the vessel. The FR1918VBB processor allows for storage of up to 24 hours of Radar images on SD memory card.

Docking mode is available, and the Radar can display up to 300 AIS targets, 2 EBL’s and 2 VRM’s.
