Furuno FAR-1513 12kW Transmitter, 96nm Black Box Radar System w/o Antenna & Signal Cable

Description

The Furuno FAR-1513 Black Box Radar system provides high-performance professional scanning when commercial coastal craft navigate long-range open waters. Poor maritime weather and busy harbor approaches regularly create dangerous vessel intercept trajectories, blinding old instrumentation setups. Installing this professional network gateway delivers outstanding target tracking metrics, allowing vessel watchstanders maintain total situational safety control during transits.

This professional black box radar system incorporates a high-power 12kW pulse transmitter core. Unlike low-cost recreational receivers that suffer from signal attenuation in heavy rain, this IMO compliant gateway delivers crisp echo extraction across a 96 nautical mile max range. The compact main processor features high-resolution HDMI video output, making multi-display bridge linking highly effective at tracking three hundred distinct AIS targets simultaneously over extended operations.

Key Features of Furuno FAR-1513 Black Box Radar

• The integrated 4-way high-stability locking system provides absolute structural rigidity. This design allows for reliable mechanical adjustments, enabling crew members to safely alter or secure the antenna angle when navigating under low-clearance bridges, entering restrictive boat slips, or trailer the vessel.
• The top of the mount is equipped with a precision-cut 1 14t marine antenna mount interface featuring standard 1″-14 NF threads. These clean, tight-tolerance threads eliminate loose play and prevent thread galling, ensuring a rock-solid, vibration-proof connection with heavy marine antennas.
• The heavy-duty clamping base is specifically engineered to mount onto standard marine handrails, bow rails, or mast pipes, fitting pipe diameters from Ø7/8 inches up to Ø1.5 inches (22mm to 38mm). Included high-grade stainless steel U-bolts and locking nuts distribute even compression force around the perimeter of the rail, securing an unyielding grip without collapsing or denting marine tubing.
• This heavy-cast physical profile results in an exceptionally rigid installation capable of supporting large marine and high-mass MIMO antenna arrays, shielding your primary communication hardware against direct physical hantaman from breaking waves or shifting deck gear.

Why Choose This Radar over Generic Alternatives

Upgrading to this specialized commercial radar system is highly essential for professional maritime vessels requiring official compliance parameters. Unlike standard multi-function units with limited screen adaptability, this modular black box configuration interfaces easily with independent high-definition marine monitors via robust HDMI video output lines. It perfectly stabilizes high-accuracy Target Tracking vectors, ensuring commercial fleets completely avoid unexpected navigation blackouts safely.

Application & Limitations

This black box system delivers exceptional high-power tracking on large commercial fishing hulls, cargo craft, and passenger ferries. However, because it uses an un-enclosed separate processor, its main chassis is rated at IP20, meaning it must be installed strictly inside a dry, enclosed bridge cabin. Additionally, since this is a black box core only, signal cables and open array antennas are not bundled in this SKU.
