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 60 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 inch TFT LCD. Background color is selectable
from three colors.
• Commercially available monitor may be used in lieu of the LCD monitor.
• Six display modes to discern tide movement from a variety of angles.
• 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.
• Graph display shows past current data.
• Water temperature graph helps locate current rip. (Temperature sensor required.)

1.8How to Set the Ship’s Heading
The current indicator has a NAV mode which measures tides in deep waters where
ground tracking is not available. To achieve reliable measurements, however, you
must feed accurate heading (gyro) data and ship’s position (or speed and course) data
to the current indicator.
1.Confirm that the gyro has settled and all necessary compensations (latitude compensation, weather compensation, etc.) have been made correctly.
2.Adjust the AD Converter to show the same reading shown on the master gyrocompass. Do not make the adjustment while the ship is turning.
Master compass
1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
AD converter
If the gyro reading is accurate, the current indicator will provide accurate tide information. If gyro data is wrong, the following symptoms will appear.
• The drift angle in the ground tracking mode is not the same as that in the nav mode
or is shown in the direction reverse of the actual direction.
Drift angle in ground tracking mode: Difference between ground speed and course
and gyro heading.
Drift angle in nav mode: Difference between nav course and gyro heading.
• Tide speed and direction in the ground mode is not the same as that in the nav
mode. And the tide correlation (relative angle, size) between layers is different.
Ground Tracking Mode
If you encounter such symptoms calibrate the current indicator as shown in the installation manual.

4.MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter contains maintenance and troubleshooting instructions to be followed to
obtain optimum performance and the longest possible life of the equipment. Before attempting any maintenance or troubleshooting procedure, please review the safety information below.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not open the equipment.
Only qualified personnel
should work inside the
quipment.
4.1Maintenance
Routine maintenance
Regular maintenance is important for good performance. Check the following on a
regular basis to keep the equipment in good condition.
• Check that the connectors are tightly fastened.
• Check the ground wire and ground terminal for rust. Clean if necessary. Confirm that
the ground wire is tightly fastened.
• Remove dust and dirt from the monitor unit with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use chemical
cleaners to clean any part of the monitor unit. They can remove paint and markings.
• To remove dirt or salt deposits, use an LCD cleaner, wiping slowly with tissue paper so
as to dissolve the dirt or salt. Change paper frequently so the salt or dirt will not scratch
the LCD. Do not use solvents such as thinner, acetone or benzene for cleaning. Also,
do not use degreaser or antifog solution, as they can strip the coating from the LCD.
NOTICE
Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive
sealant or contact spray to coating or
plastic parts of the equipment.
Those items contain organic solvents that
can damage coating and plastic parts,
especially plastic connectors.
Transducer
• Check the zinc plate attached to the transducer for corrosion regularly and replace it if
it is corroded. It should be replaced when the ship is drydocked. If the plate is not replaced, corrosion may occur. This may allow the transducer to fall out from the hull, allowing water to leak inside the vessel.
• Do not paint the transducer face.
• When the vessel is drydocked, remove marine growth from the transducer. Marine life
adhering to the transducer may cause a considerable drop in performance.
4-1
4. MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
Fuse
The transceiver unit, monitor unit
and control unit are equipped with
a fuse which protects them from
overvoltage and overcurrent. If a
fuse blows, find the cause before
replacing it. If it blows again after
replacement, contact your dealer
for advice. All fuses are located inside the units. Therefore, have a suitably qualified technician replace the fuses.
