Furuno MDF 149 replacment 000-171-974 ball.

[Kjelli]

Hei.
Is it possible to get a new tracing ball for Furuno 149 whit art nr 000-171-974 ? And is it possible to get the AIS targets to show better on the screen? Like it does on my Tz touch 2?

They are available through a FurunoUSA dealer. Please use this link to assist in finding a dealer: https://www.furunousa.com/en/company/find_a_dealer
There isn't a way to make AIS targets look better except may ensuring that you have the final version of software on your NAVnet vx2 (RDP149). If you send me the full program number from your RDP149, I can tell you if you have the latest and if not, I can send you a link to the software. The program number can be seen on bootup or by going to Menu-System Configuration-System Setup-Test & Clear-Memory I/O Test-Display Unit Test.

Thank you. I will replay the program nr when i go to the boat later today.

Hei. Here is my program nr : PROGRAM No. 195002403.04.

On the tz touch 2 is there a meny called NavNet VX2 Compatibility Mode and how du you get into it? I have 149 screening and there is a tranducer showing depth and temp and was wondering if its possible to connect this from navnet to tz 2?

You have C-Map version 3.04. The final version is 4.03. There are things related to AIS in the subsequent updates...this might help.
Here is a link to the software: https://www.furunousa.com/-/media/s...x2_10.4_inch_c-map_ccfl_software_ver_4.03.zip
I have attached update instructions.

The TZtouch2 and the NAVnet vx2 cannot be connected together to use the same fish finder. If you are referring to sending depth and temp as NMEA0183 data for display in a databox (not a fish finder picture), that can be done and you don't need any compatibility mode to do it. The vx2 would have to output to a NMEA0183-NMEA2000 converter so that the TZTtouch2 could see it in a databox.

Super. Were do I get signals to the converter from? the FAP 5002?

 

[TheReaper]

Based on the information you provided, you would need to connect Data4 from the RDP149 to a NoLand Engineering RS232-RS422 converter box. Then, from the NoLand Engineering box to a converter such as our IF-NMEA2K2 to get the NMEA0183 info to the NMEA2000 bus so that the TZtouch2 can display depth and temp in data boxes
