A compact, high frequency sonar with revolutionary
discrimination between bottom fish and seabed
The FURUNO CSH-8L is a full-circle scanning sonar that
both midwater trawlers and purse seiners.
rapidly detects and displays individual sh, sh schools and
changing underwater conditions. Fish distribution and
seabed conditions in 360 degrees around your vessel are
shown in 16 colors.
The CSH-8L is provided in a BlackBox conguration for a
space saving and exible installation. It consists of a compact
hull unit, transceiver unit and processor unit. A variety of
monitors are available considering the installation space and
The CSH-8L is an 85 kHz high frequency sonar, which makes
it ideal for searching near the vessel or in shallow water
because the beam width is narrow and target denition is
greatly improved. Fish and bottom echoes are clearly separated and bait sh are more easily seen. Automatic tilt scan-

What is a Scanning Sonar?
The transducer of a scanning sonar consists of many elements to transmit the echo in all directions simultaneously without
rotating the transducer. The echo is redrawn on the display instantaneously according to the latest feedback from the
transducer. Thus a sonar that can scan quickly will greatly improve the shing operation especially for searching/following
the fast swimming sh.

small change in the current situation. This is especially helpful
when range and tilt require frequent adjustment while shing, offering no frustration on redrawing time.

No Blind Area

Scanning Sonar shows the actual situation 360 degrees around the
vessel, and will give all the necessary information as needed. No more
blind areas to consider, allowing the operator to concentrate on the tilt,
range, shing area, etc.

Easy-to-Use Controls
The control unit of CSH-8L combines ergonomics and functions in a user-friendly manner. All controls quickly
respond to the operator’s command and the associated reaction can be seen on the screen immediately. Four
user-dened functions can be assigned to Function keys (F1 to F4), providing for rapid setup and operation.

Selectable User-Friendly Operating Modes
There are three basic operating modes: normal sonar display (single scan), Echo sounder combination (single scan
and echo sounder) and Audio combination (single scan and audio pictures).

Sonar Display
Navigation data can be displayed
in the text window, with connection of appropriate sensors.
This mode is useful for detecting
