Furuno ARP11 10-Target Auto Plotter Product Description
Enhance your marine radar system's collision avoidance capabilities with the Furuno ARP11, a reliable 10-target auto plotter that brings professional-grade target tracking right to your helm. Whether you're navigating crowded waterways, monitoring distant vessels, or ensuring safe passage in low-visibility conditions, this unit delivers precise data on target courses, speeds, and potential risks—helping skippers make informed decisions quickly.
Key Features for Seamless Radar Integration
- Multi-Target Tracking: Automatically or manually acquire and monitor up to 10 radar targets simultaneously, displaying their vectors for instant visual assessment.
- Vector-Based Display: Clear course and speed vectors update in real-time, making it easy to spot changes in target behavior.
- Advanced Calculations: Computes critical navigation metrics like Closest Point of Approach (CPA) and Time to Closest Point of Approach (TCPA), alerting you to potential close-quarters situations.
- User-Friendly Acquisition: Switch effortlessly between auto and manual modes to focus on the most relevant echoes while ignoring clutter like sea returns or rain.
How the ARP11 Boosts On-Water Safety
Unlike basic radar overlays, the ARP11 processes raw echoes through sophisticated algorithms, stabilizing tracks even amid gyrocompass inputs or vessel maneuvers. It shines in dynamic environments—think fishing grounds teeming with boats or commercial shipping lanes—where manual plotting falls short. By tuning your radar's gain, sea clutter, and rain clutter controls first, you ensure the ARP11 locks onto true targets without false alarms, maintaining plot quality throughout passages.
Real-world mariners praise its stability during course alterations. After a sharp turn, expect full vector accuracy restoration in just 1-2 minutes, depending on your gyro setup. For slower relative speeds, tracking stabilizes over 30-60 seconds, giving you ample time to react. This IMO-compliant performance meets stringent international standards, ideal for professional and recreational use alike.
Perfect Compatibility for Your Setup
Designed as a plug-and-play addition for Furuno's NavNet, NavNet vx2, and FR8002 radar series, the ARP11 integrates without hassle. It leverages your existing network for shared data across multifunction displays, keeping your bridge uncluttered. Pair it with stabilized heading sensors for peak accuracy, and watch as it transforms sporadic blips into actionable intelligence.
Pro Tips for Maximum ARP11 Performance
- Always optimize radar tuning before enabling auto acquisition—dial back excess gain to minimize noise.
- Monitor vector lengths to gauge reliability; longer vectors indicate stable, high-confidence tracks.
- In heavy traffic, prioritize manual acquisition for erratic targets to avoid overwhelming the system.
- Combine with AIS overlays for hybrid tracking, cross-verifying radar plots with electronic identifiers.
- Regularly review historical trial data to refine your scanning habits and build confidence in automated alerts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Furuno ARP11 suitable for busy marine environments?
Its ability to track 10 targets at once, with CPA and TCPA calculations, helps mariners anticipate collisions in high-traffic areas like ports or fishing zones, far surpassing manual methods.
How does the ARP11 handle sudden course changes?
It restores full vector accuracy in 1-2 minutes post-maneuver, influenced by gyrocompass quality, ensuring reliable data during dynamic navigation.
Is manual target acquisition possible with this auto plotter?
Yes, it supports both automatic and manual modes, letting you selectively track critical targets while ignoring clutter.
What radar tuning is best for ARP11 performance?
Fine-tune gain, sea, and rain clutter for clean echoes—avoid over-amplification to prevent acquiring noise or false targets.
Does the ARP11 meet international safety standards?
Absolutely, its plotting accuracy and response comply with IMO requirements, making it a trusted choice for safety-critical operations.
How long does tracking take for slow-moving targets?
Expect 30-60 seconds of delay inversely tied to relative speed, providing stable vectors for informed maneuvering.
Can it integrate with other Furuno systems?
Yes, it's optimized for NavNet, NavNet vx2, and FR8002 radars, sharing data across your network for comprehensive situational awareness.
The ARP11 is a 10-target auto plotter designed for use with NavNet and NavNet vx2, as well as the FR8002 Radar series.
The ARP automatically tracks automatically or manually acquired radar targets and calculates their courses and speeds, indicating them by vectors. Since the data generated by the auto plotter are based on what radar targets are selected, the radar must always be optimally tuned for use with the ARP to ensure required targets will not be lost or unwanted targets such as sea returns and noise will not be acquired and tracked.
The plotting accuracy and response of this ARP meets IMO standards. Tracking accuracy is affected by the following:
- Tracking accuracy is affected by course change. One to two minutes is required to restore vectors to full accuracy after an abrupt course change. (The actual amount depends on gyrocompass specifications.)
- The amount of tracking delay is inversely proportional to the relative speed of the target. Delay is on the order of 15-30 seconds for high relative speed; 30-60 seconds for low relative speed.
