Frequently Asked Questions
What antenna is required for the DRS25ANXT radar pedestal?
The DRS25ANXT requires a separate open array antenna. Options include the 3.5' XN10A/3.5, 4' XN12A/4, or 6' XN13A/6 arrays, each providing different beam widths and performance characteristics for various vessel sizes and requirements.
How does Target Analyzer technology work?
Target Analyzer uses Doppler technology to automatically assess target movement. Targets approaching your vessel appear red, while stationary or receding targets appear green. This color-coding works independent of vessel speed and provides instant threat assessment for enhanced collision avoidance.
What displays are compatible with the DRS25ANXT?
The DRS25ANXT connects via Ethernet to Furuno TZtouch, TZtouch2, and TZtouch3 multifunction displays. The radar integrates seamlessly with these systems for unified control and display of radar information.
What are the benefits of solid-state radar technology?
Solid-state radar eliminates the magnetron found in traditional radars, providing longer service life, instant-on capability, no warm-up time, lower power consumption, and virtually maintenance-free operation. The 200W solid-state transmitter delivers reliable performance with enhanced longevity.
How does Fast Target Tracking work?
Fast Target Tracking displays speed and course vectors within seconds of target selection. The system can automatically track up to 100 targets simultaneously using ARPA processing, and approaching vessels automatically trigger vector display and alarm alerts for enhanced collision avoidance.
