Echo Sounder(Furuno)

Furuno Echo Sounder

The 6.5″ high-brightness TFT color LCD display offers an easy-to-read depth sounding in various modes, permitting optimum representation with respect to the environment. Detection range is automatically varied but there is manual override to select the required scale. The displayed record is visible for 15 min on any range and an instantaneous sounding is directly shown in large numerals in addition to the graphical display. Depths,associated time, and position are stored for 24 h in memory. The data can be played back at any time.

The transducer is available in 200 kHz or 50 kHz. The 200 kHz is advantageous in rough weather or congested waterways in shallow waters whereas the 50 kHz is recommended for deeper range operation. Transducer Switch Box EX-8 allows FE-700 to display echoes from two transducers of the same frequency or different frequencies. Depth data can be output in IEC 61162 format to radar, ECDIS, VDR (Voyage Data Recorder), and other radiocommunication and navigation equipment. Optional software is available to transfer the sounding data to a personal computer for print out.
