FOREWORD
A Word to the Owner of the MODEL-1700C/1700 series
FURUNO Electric Company thanks you for purchasing the MODEL-
1722C/1732C/1752C/1762C Color LCD Radar/Plotter, MODEL-
1722/1732/1752/1762 Monochrome LCD Radar/Plotter. We are confident you will
discover why the FURUNO name has become synonymous with quality and
reliability.

For over 50 years FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable

reputation for quality and reliability throughout the world. This dedication to
excellence is furthered by our extensive global network of agents and dealers.

Your radar is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the
marine environment. However, no machine can perform its intended function
unless properly installed and maintained. Please carefully read and follow the
operation and maintenance procedures set forth in this manual.

We would appreciate feedback from you, the end-user, about whether we are
achieving our purposes.

Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO.

xi
Features
The MODEL-1700C series, MODEL-1700 series works within our new product-
network system called the “NavNet.” Each product has an IP address to
communicate with NavNet compatible products within the network, using TCP/IP
protocol through an Ethernet 10-Base-T.
The main features are

• Bright 7” screen visible even under direct sunlight.

• User friendly operation with combination of discrete keys, soft keys and
Omnipad.
• Radar picture available with connection to NavNet compatible radars.
• Accepts C-MAP, Nav-charts™ (NAVIONICS) and FURUNO charts.
• Fast chart redraw.
• Built-in NavNet interface circuit board.
• 12-channel black box GPS unit with highly accurate position fixing optionally
available.
• Video sounder picture available with connection to NavNet compatible black
box echo sounder.

xii
SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
All NavNet products incorporate a “network circuit board” to integrate each
NavNet product on board through an optional LAN cable (Ethernet 10 Base T).
Each NavNet product is assigned an IP address to enable transfer of images
between NavNet products. For example, video plotter pictures can be transferred
to a radar and vice versa. Pictures received via the NavNet may be adjusted at
the receiving end.

An NavNet system may consist of a single, dual, or three and more NavNet
products. For a system incorporating three or more products a “hub” is required to
process data.

1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

1.1 Operating Controls

1.1.1 Control overview
The radar functions are operated with 17 controls. Ten controls are labeled and
they provide the function shown on their labels. The five soft keys’ provide
various functions according to current operating mode. The [ENTER] knob mainly
functions to register selections on the menu. The cursor pad’s main function is to
move the cursor across the screen. Whenever you operate a key a single beep
confirms control operation. Invalid operation emits three beeps.

On menu screen: Returns to Curor pad

the previous screen. All modes: Shifts cursor; selects items on menus.
On other screen: Displays the Radar: Shifts cursor, EBL, VRM.

The demonstration display provides simulated operation of the equipment to help
acquaint you with the many features it has to offer. It allows you to view and
control a simulated radar, plotter and sounder picture, without GPS equipment,
radar input or blackbox sounder. All controls are operative, thus you may practice
setting guard zone, EBL/VRM, etc.
