New remote control unit from Furuno
Furuno has developed a versatile remote control unit that can be used with its TZtouch and TZtouch2 units.
The MCU004 Remote Control features a large rotary knob and joystick that can be used for zooming in/out on both the TZtouch and TZtouch2.
It also aids the user to pan around the chart and move the cursor on the screen. It has dedicated buttons to operate different functions, such as Edge Swiping, Home, Stand By/Auto for Autopilot control, MOB, and Center on vessel.
For captains that have multiple TZtouch or TZtouch2 displays on their helm or bridge, a single MCU004 can control all of the displays.
The display can be switched from one to another with the Active Display feature. The MCU004 Remote can be mounted in the arm of a captain’s chair whilst using the TZtouch Black Box.
