Do not open the equipment.

Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment.

Turn off the power before beginning the installation.

Fire or electrical shock can result if the power is left on.

Be sure no water leaks at the transducer and temperature sensor.

Water leakage can sink the vessel. Also, confirm that neither the transducer or sensor will loosen by vibration. The installer is solely responsible for the installation.

Confirm that the power supply voltage is within the rating of this equipment.

Incorrect voltage will damage the equipment and may cause fire.

FOREWORD

A Word to the Owner of the DFF3

Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO DFF3 Network Sounder. We are confident you will see why the FURUNO name has become synonymous with quality and reliability.

Since 1948, FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for quality 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.

Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO.

Features

The DFF3 network sounder is a dual frequency echo sounder designed for use with the FURUNO NavNet, NavNet vx2, NavNet 3D and NavNet TZtouch series. The DFF3 feeds data about underwater conditions via a LAN.

• FURUNO Free Synthesizer (FFS) transceiver design allows use of user-selectable operating frequencies (28 - 200 kHz).

• Automatic operation selects correct range and gain to show fish echoes and bottom in both shallow and deep waters.

• Improved discrimination of near-surface fish by eliminating the transmission line.

• Heaving compensation* stabilizes the picture against ship’s pitching and rolling. * Requires NavNet 3D/TZtouch display device plus Satellite Compass SC-30.

• Approximate fish length calculation available with conenction of transducer 50/200-1T. (NavNet 3D and TZtouch only.)

• 1/2/3 kW output

Note: The terms “NavNet”, NavNet vx2”, “NavNet 3D” and “NavNet TZtouch” refer to the models listed below.
