Powerful 3.5' Open Array Antenna
The included XN10A/3.5 antenna boasts a narrow 2.2-degree horizontal beam width, ensuring pinpoint accuracy. With adjustable rotation speeds (24/36/48 rpm coupled or fixed 24 rpm), it adapts to your needs, from high-speed scanning to detailed close-range views. Paired with the 15-meter cable, it's ready for seamless integration on most vessels.
Effortless Installation and Broad Compatibility
Setting up the DRS6AX is straightforward, thanks to its user-friendly design. The pedestal arrives pre-assembled, and the smart-connector cable plugs in without hassle. It's optimized for Furuno's NavNet TZtouch, TZtouch2, and TZtouch3 systems, delivering plug-and-play performance. Note: This is a 24VDC system drawing 4.0A—pair it with a converter for 12V setups to unlock its full potential on smaller boats.
IP56 waterproofing ensures durability against harsh marine environments, from pounding waves to salt spray.
