SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Do not open the equipment.

Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment.

Immediately turn off the power at the switchboard if water leaks into the equipment or something is dropped in the equipment.

Continued use of the equipment can cause fire or electrical shock. Contact a FURUNO agent for service.

Do not disassemble or modify the equipment.

Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can result.

WARNING

Keep heater away from equipment.

A heater can melt the equipment's power cord, which can cause fire or electrical shock.

Use the proper fuse.

Use of a wrong fuse can damage the equipment.

Do not operate the equipment with wet hands.

Electrical shock can result.

Do not place liquid-filled containers on the top of the equipment.

Fire or electrical shock can result if a liquid spills into the equipment.

Immediately turn off the power at the switchboard if the equipment is emitting smoke or fire.

Continued use of the equipment can cause fatal damage to the equipment. Contact a FURUNO agent for service.

Make sure no rain or water splash leaks into the equipment.

Fire or electrical shock can result if water leaks in the equipment.

CAUTION

Check the zinc plate (anticorrosion measure) regularly for corrosion and replace it when the ship is drydocked.

WARNING LABEL

A warning label is attached to the transceiver and monitor units. Do not remove the labels. If a label is missing or damaged, contact a FURUNO agent or dealer about replacement.

Corrosion may occur. As a result the transducer may fall out, allowing water to leak inside the vessel.

Do not use the equipment for other than its intended purpose.

Damage to the equipment or bodily injury may result if the equipment is misused.

Do not transmit with the transducer out of water, when drydocked, etc.

The transducer may become damaged.

Turn off the power at the switchboard immediately whenever you feel the equipment is abnormal.

Turn off the equipment at the switchboard if it becomes warm or is making strange noises. Contact your dealer at your earliest convenience.

WARNING

To avoid electrical shock, do not remove cover. No user-serviceable parts inside.

Transceiver Unit Name: Warning Label (1) Type: 86-003-1011-1 Code No.: 100-236-231

Monitor Unit Name: Warning Label (2) Type: 03-129-1001-1 Code No.: 100-236-741

TFT LCD

The high quality TFT LCD displays 99.99% of its pixels. The remaining 0.01% of pixels may light or dropout, however this is not an indication of malfuction; it is a characteristic of the LCD.

FOREWORD

A Word to the Owner of the CI-68

Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO CI-68 Doppler Sonar Current Indicator. We are confident you will see why FURUNO 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.

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

Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO equipment.

Features

•

With heading data from a gyrocompass, satellite compass, etc., the absolute movements of tide measuring layers is displayed, in colors.

•

When ground (bottom) reference is not available acoustically; namely, ship is in deep water, this equipment provides absolute movements of measuring layers by receiving position (or speed) data from a GPS navigator and heading data from a gyrocompass or satellite compass.

•

Single-mold transducer plus compact monitor unit, control unit, transceiver unit and junction box (option) permit installation on small vessels.

•

Data is displayed on a bright, non-fading

10.4” TFT LCD. Background color is selectable from three colors.

•

Commercially available monitor may be used in lieu of the LCD monitor.

•

Logical keyboard layout and menu structure for intuitive operation. Function key provides shortcut menu operation.

•

Triple-beam system for automatic error compensation against pitching and rolling.

•

Echo level continuously displayed on the screen, for monitoring signal conditions on three sounding beams.

•

Bottom echo can be found using external depth data. Further, the bottom echo can be acquired manually by monitoring the echo level display. This is useful when in deep seas, air bubbles block reception of the bottom echo, or a thick layer of plankton or a large fish school is mistakenly tracked as the bottom echo.

•

Various alarms: tide, tide differential, speed, trip, etc. Audible and visual alerts are released if alarm condition is violated.

•

Six display modes to discern tide movement from a variety of angles.

•

Graph display shows past current data.

•

Water temperature graph helps locate current rip. (Temperature sensor required.)

1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

1.6 Choosing Speed Tracking Mode

The tracking mode is available in ground tracking, water tracking, NAV and automatic.

Ground tracking: Absolute ship and tide movements based on ground and current (tide

display (bottom echo must be present).

Water tracking: Ship and tide movements relative to near-surface water and tide

differential between tide layers. (The pulse length in this mode must be NORMAL and depth greater than 40 m, or LONG pulse length and depth greater than 70 m.)

Nav: Ship’s movement as measured by a navigation device and tide

movements based on nav speed data.

Auto/external*: Uses ground tracking mode when bottom echo is available and switches

to water tracking mode (or Nav mode) when bottom echo is lost. The bottom echo is continuously sought, and if re-acquired the ground tracking mode is restored. *EXT appears in the tracking mode window (top left corner) when DEPTH MODE in the OTHER menu (sub menu in the installation menu) is set to EXTERNAL.

To choose the tracking mode, press the [TRACK MODE] key. The tracking mode changes according to the setting (OFF or ON) of NAV MODE in the MENU 1 menu. The current tracking mode appears at the top left-hand corner on the screen.

OFF: The tracking mode changes cyclically in the sequence of ground tracking, water

tracking and auto.

ON: The tracking mode changes cyclically in the sequence of ground tracking, nav and

auto.
