Easy connection
Interfacing a Furuno FAR 2xx7 radar with MaxSea is easy; one standard Ethernet cable is all that is needed. NavData, ARPA targets, and the Radar Echo are transmitted to MaxSea X7 through the Ethernet. Class A AIS is interfaced through a standard RS232 or RS422 connection to MaxSea X7, allowing full control of the AIS MKD from MaxSea.
Radar control
MaxSea X7 directly controls one or two radars; including Gain, Sea Clutter, Rain Clutter and presets. VRM, EBL and guard zones can also be created in MaxSea X7 and displayed simultaneously on the navigation software and the radar screen.
Switch easily between two radars
Up to two radars can be controlled using MaxSea X7; to switch radar displays, simply click on the icon on the software.
ARPA/AIS
MaxSea X7 software displays AIS and ARPA targets. The software allows the operator to easily check target information including the MMSI number, length, position, speed, destination, CPA, of vessels acquired by the AIS.
