FOREWORD

A Word to FCV-582L Owners

Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO FCV-582L Color LCD Sounder. We are confident you will see why the FURUNO name has become synonymous with quality and reliability.

For over 50 years FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for innovative and dependable marine electronics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our extensive global network of agents and dealers.

This equipment is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine environment. However, no machine can perform its intended function unless operated and maintained properly. Please carefully read and follow the recommended procedures for operation and maintenance.

We would appreciate hearing from you, the end-user, about whether we are achieving our purposes.

Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO equipment.

Features

The FURUNO FCV-582L is a dual-frequency (50 kHz and 200 kHz) color LCD sounder. Comprised of a display unit and a transducer, the FCV-582L displays underwater conditions in 16 colors (including background) on a bright 6.5-inch color TFT (Thin Film Transistor) LCD.

The main features of the FCV-582L are

•Compact design permits installation where space is limited.

•Bright 6.5-inch color LCD with temperature compensated tone and brilliance control.

•Wide variety of display modes: bottom lock, dual frequency, marker zoom, bottom zoom, nav data and graphic display.

•Automatic function permits unattended adjustment of range and gain. The range scale and gain automatically change to display the bottom in reddish-brown on the lower half of the screen.

•Navigation data display (requires navigation data input from external navigator) provides position, course, speed, depth, temperature and waypoint data indications.

•Alarms: Bottom, Fish (bottom-lock, normal), Temperature (within, over range set).

•A-scope display discriminates bottom fish, vital for bottom trawler and trap users.

•Universal 10.2–31.2 VDC power supply consuming less than 20 W power.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The FCV-582L determines the distance between its transducer and underwater objects such as fish, lake bottom or seabed and displays the results on its screen. It does this by utilizing the fact that an ultrasonic wave transmitted through water travels at a nearly constant speed of 4800 feet (1500 meters) per second. When a sound wave strikes an underwater object such as fish or sea bottom, part of the sound wave is reflected back toward the source. Thus by calculating the time difference between the transmission of a sound wave and the reception of the reflected sound wave, the depth to the object can be determined.

The entire process begins in the display unit. Transmitter power is sent to the transducer as a short pulse of electrical energy. The electrical signal produced by the transmitter is converted into an ultrasonic signal by the transducer and transmitted into the water. Any returning signals from intervening objects (such as a fish school) are received by the transducer and converted into an electrical signal. The signals are then amplified in the amplifier section, and finally, displayed on the screen.

The picture displayed is made up of a series of vertical scan lines, one for each transmission. Each line represents a snapshot of what has occurred beneath the boat. Series of snapshots are accumulated side by side across the screen, and the resulting contours of the bottom and fish between the bottom and surface are displayed.

Low frequency (50 kHz) display

The sounder uses ultrasonic pulses to detect bottom conditions. The lower the frequency of the pulse, the wider the detection area. Therefore, the 50 kHz frequency is useful for general detection and judging bottom condition.
