Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a marine radar magnetron be replaced?
Marine radar magnetrons typically require replacement every 3,000-4,000 operating hours for X-band systems. Most modern radar displays show accumulated magnetron operating time to help plan proactive maintenance.
Can I install this magnetron myself?
No. Marine radar magnetron installation requires certified marine electronics technicians due to high-voltage systems, RF safety considerations, and precise calibration requirements. Professional installation ensures safety compliance and optimal performance.
What are the signs that a magnetron needs replacement?
Common indicators include reduced range performance, poor target definition, difficulty maintaining stable tuning, increased noise levels, or frequent auto-tune failures. Regular performance monitoring helps identify degradation before complete failure.
Is this magnetron compatible with other Furuno radar models?
This specific magnetron (000-158-790-12) is designed exclusively for the FAR2117 radar system. Using incompatible magnetrons can damage radar components and create safety hazards. Always verify exact part number compatibility before ordering.
What warranty coverage is provided?
Furuno provides a 2-year limited warranty on this magnetron covering manufacturing defects and material failures under normal marine operating conditions. Warranty terms may vary by region and installation requirements.
How does 12kW power output benefit marine radar performance?
Higher power output enables detection of smaller, more distant targets up to 96 nautical miles away. This enhanced capability is particularly valuable for commercial vessels, offshore operations, and severe weather conditions where maximum detection range is critical for navigation safety.
For over 70 years, Furuno has been continuously imagining and creating new solutions, making new marine electronic equipment with the goal of offering both performance and simplicity for everyone. Not only for men and women who make a living on the seas, but also for those who simply want to enjoy the boating lifestyle.
