Furuno Debuts New Remote Controller for TZtouch

Furuno’s NavNet TZtouch and TZtouch2 Multi Function Displays have become utilized on a variety of helms and bridges. To enhance the various installations, Furuno announced it has developed the MCU004, a versatile remote control unit that can be used with TZtouch and TZtouch2 units.

 

The MCU004 Remote Control features a large rotary knob and joystick, which can be utilized as the RotoKey on NavNet TZtouch and for zooming in/out on both TZtouch and TZtouch2. In addition, the joystick allows users to pan around the chart and move the cursor on the screen. The remote also has dedicated buttons that operate different functions, such as Edge Swiping, Home, Stand By/Auto for Autopilot control, MOB and Center on vessel.

 

For those captains that have multiple TZtouch or TZtouch2 displays on their helm or bridge, a single MCU004 can control all of the displays. With a simple press of the Active Display Button, users can switch from one display to another.

 

The MCU004 Remote Control is a suitable for any helm or bridge, Furuno said. Whether using the TZtouch Black Box and wanting to mount the MCU004 in the arm of the captain’s chair, or having a center console and wanting to have a remote on the transom while you are fishing, the MCU004 is a possible solution.
