Advanced Multi-Display Control for Marine Navigation

The Furuno MCU004 Black Box Control Unit is a state-of-the-art navigation controller designed to enhance the efficiency and ease of operation for marine professionals. With seamless integration into the TZtouch2 multifunction display (MFD) system, this sleek and durable control unit provides intuitive navigation and vessel management. Engineered with a robust, piano-black finish, it offers a seamless aesthetic match for a variety of helm installations, from dashboards to captain’s chair armrests.

Intuitive Joystick and RotoKey Controller

The MCU004 features an advanced joystick and full-function RotoKey controller, ensuring smooth and precise control over essential navigation functions. The combination of edge-swipe and cursor control enables full menu access, making adjustments effortless in any maritime environment.

Seamless Multi-Display Switching

With "Active Display" switching, a single MCU004 can manage up to four TZtouch2 MFDs, allowing operators to efficiently oversee multiple displays without the need for additional hardware. This feature streamlines navigation and vessel monitoring, improving situational awareness on the water.

Versatile Control Functions

Equipped with large, dual-function buttons, the MCU004 allows for quick and efficient operation of key functions. Short and long presses enable cursor control, home screen access, display brightness adjustments, and vessel centering. The unit also includes a customizable shortcut function key, enabling operators to program their most frequently used features for instant access.

Integrated Autopilot Management

When interfaced with a TZtouch2 network and a NavPilot 700 system, the MCU004 serves as a virtual controller for autopilot functions. The STBY/AUTO button provides quick and reliable autopilot engagement and disengagement, offering an additional layer of control during voyages.

Built-in Alarm Buzzer

For added safety, the MCU004 features an integrated alarm buzzer, ensuring that critical alerts and notifications are clearly heard within the cockpit. This enhances situational awareness and provides immediate feedback for navigational changes or system warnings.
