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.)

Note: The accuracy of tide
measurement in the NAV
mode depends heavily on gyrocompass accuracy.

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.

1.8 How 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.
