Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the hybrid control different from standard touchscreen displays?
The hybrid control system combines multi-touch screen capabilities with Furuno's RotoKey™ control knob and dedicated buttons, allowing reliable operation in rough sea conditions where touchscreen-only interfaces may be difficult to use. This provides both modern convenience and traditional reliability.
Can the built-in sonar power be upgraded beyond 1kW?
Yes, the TZT13X can be connected to external DFF3-UHD units for 2kW or 3kW output, or paired with the BT-5 Booster Box to achieve 5kW or 10kW transmission power for maximum depth penetration and target definition in deep water applications.
What chart types are compatible with the TZT13X?
The TZT13X supports TZ MAPS (with downloadable content), MM3 Vector charts, and CMOR charts (US only). TZ MAPS offers the most advanced features including BathyVision bathymetric data, AI routing, and direct chart purchase/update capabilities.
Is professional installation required for the TZT13X?
While not strictly required, professional installation by a certified Furuno dealer is recommended to ensure proper NMEA 2000 network integration, transducer connections, and optimal performance. Professional installation also ensures warranty compliance and access to technical support.
What transducers are compatible with the built-in CHIRP side-scan?
For 235kHz side-scan: 225T-PR904, 225T-SS904, 225T-TM904. For 455kHz side-scan: 455T-PR903, 455T-SS903, 455T-TM903. These transducers connect directly to the dedicated 12-pin side-scan port on the TZT13X.
Can multiple TZT13X units be networked together?
Yes, multiple TZT13X units can be networked via Ethernet for shared charts, waypoints, routes, and sensor data. They integrate seamlessly with other NavNet TZtouchXL displays including the TZT16X, TZT22X, and TZT24X models.
TZT13X 13" Hybrid Touch Multi-Function Display
The hybrid control 13” TZT13X incorporates all of NavNet TZtouchXL's multi-touch capabilities with Furuno’s RotoKey™ control knob and dedicated buttons, making navigation intuitive and easy under any sea conditions.
The TZT13X incorporates a powerful internal 1kW dual channel TruEcho CHIRP™ Fish Finder* designed to operate across a wide range of frequencies. For those who want to go even deeper, the 2kW/3kW DFF3-UHD TruEcho CHIRP™ Network Fish Finder delivers the ability to penetrate the deepest waters to find a catch. Also, with the BT-5 Booster Box, users can boost that output power up to 5 or 10 kW to take advantage of high-power transducer options that will unveil the deepest waters like users never experienced before.
Features:
- 13 in. display with hybrid controls
- TZ MAPS for highly detailed navigation and fishing charts
- Purchase and update charts directly from MFD with an internet connection
- Powerful hexacore processor for rapid response
- Video converter kits stream compatible sonar video data directly to TZtouchXL MFD
- Furuno’s exclusive Fish-It, Drift-It, & Follow-It features save time and fuel and increase fish catch
- Built-in Dual Channel 1kW TruEcho CHIRP™ & CW Fish Finder
- Built-in 235kHz or 455kHz CHIRP Side-Scan
Built-In CHIRP Side-Scan
Furuno’s CHIRP Side-Scan for NavNet TZT13X scans both port and starboard, illuminating the shape of the bottom structure in high definition. CHIRP Side-Scan 6 reveals the shape of fish targets and fish-hoarding structure on each side of the vessel. CHIRP from 235kHz or 445kHz center frequencies with thru-hull, paired, or transom mount transducer options.
TZ MAPS
One of the most exciting TZtouchXL features is a chart offering called TZ MAPS. Not only are these some of the most detailed charts in the industry, but TZ MAPS users are in complete control of the chart content they want to download, such as raster or vector charts, satellite photos, and bathymetric data. Custom user objects can be shared with other registered TZ MAPS users through TimeZero's moderated service. Since custom objects reside on their chart layer on the TZtouchXL MFD, they can easily be displayed or hidden as desired. Additionally, for the first time, customers can purchase and update charts directly on their TZtouchXL MFD!
BathyVision
One of the most groundbreaking aspects of TZ MAPS is called BathyVision, providing amazingly detailed bathymetric data that can be configured to an incredible resolution of a mere 3 inches between contours! That's 3 times better than any other bathymetric chart currently on the market. BathyVision data, along with custom depth shading, can easily be overlaid on TZ MAPS navigation charts to create the ultimate "Fishing Charts"!
AI Routing
TZ MAPS unlocks the ability to utilize the powerful AI Routing function that intelligently plans out routes, taking into consideration the boat's draft and navigational obstacles. AI Routing takes traditional auto-routing to another level by automatically creating suggested routes based on varying navigational conditions.
Risk Visualizer & AI Avoidance Route
When connected to an NXT radar, two powerful safety features are unlocked: the Risk Visualizer and the AI Avoidance Route tool. Risk Visualizer provides a 360° visual representation of the potential collision risks of approaching objects around the vessel. Dynamic icons are automatically created for targets with the highest probability of collision, ensuring the captain has the necessary information to maintain safe distances when passing. The AI Avoidance Route function processes all available information provided to dynamically provide a safe route around those hazards, which can be sent to a Furuno NavPilot autopilot with a single tap.
Enhanced User Interface for Ease of Use & Customizability
In addition to offering all the great features that make NavNet super simple to operate, NavNet TZtouchXL MFDs also deliver BIG power and versatility! Users can now configure their MFD in many ways, thanks to an increased number of Page Builder configurations from four (4) to ten (10) custom combinations. Additionally, users can now custom-build a 6-way screen split of various components and sensors.
Match all those great screen layout options with enhanced Edge-Swipe feature access for the smoothest, easiest, and very best user experience Furuno has ever delivered! This is all driven by the most system memory and the highest level of processing power Furuno has ever integrated into a NavNet MFD.
