Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): Operational Overview
The Furuno Monitor MU152/MU152HD 15″ Display is a type-approved commercial marine fishing system engineered for high-reliability deep-sea and offshore vessel operations. Compliant with international IMO/SOLAS and IEC standards, the unit is fully supplied, bench-tested, and supported worldwide by Seanav Marine from our Dubai Maritime City (DMC) technical facility.
The Furuno Monitor MU152 15″ Display fits in between the MU “HD” series marine monitors and the larger, type-approved monitors for the FAR2XX7, FAR2XX8 and FAR3000 IMO Radars. The MU152 is type-approved by international class societies and the U.S. Coast Guard under IMO performance standards to provide a viewing area of 180mm for Class 3 carriage, also sometimes known as “12-inch IMO display”.
With DC-only power input, the MU152 is a natural fit for inclusion with Furuno’s FAR15X3 Radars or the FAR15X8/DC models, as well as any of the large IMO Radars when installed on smaller vessels. The MU152 is type approved with FAR15X8 Radars for a category three vessel (under 500GT) and is shown on the FAR15X8 DNV/USCG approval certification.
