WARNING
Do not open the equipment.
Only qualified personnel should work
inside the equipment.
Do not disassemble or modify the
equipment.
Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can
result.
Turn off the power immediately if the
equipment is emitting smoke or fire.
Fire or electrical shock can result if the
power is left on.
Turn off the power immediately if water
leaks into the equipment or an object
is dropped inside the equipment.
Continued use can cause fire or electrical
shock.
Turn off the power immediately if you
feel the equipment is acting abnormally.
If the equipment is hot to the touch or is
emitting strange noises, turn off the power
immediately and contact your dealer for
advice.
WARNING
WARNING
Do not operate the equipment with
wet hands.
Electrical shock can result.
Do not place liquid-filled containers
on the top of the equipment.
Electrical shock can result.
Do not install the equipment where
it may be subjected to rain or water
splash.
Fire or electrical shock can result if water
gets inside the equipment.
Use the proper fuse.
Use of a wrong fuse can damage the
equipment and may cause fire.
A warning label is attached to the equipment.
Do not remove this label. If the label is missing
or illegible, contact a FURUNO agent or dealer

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.
For 60 years FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for quality marine
electronics equipment. Thi s dedicati on to exc ellence i s furthere d by our extensiv e global net work
of agents and dealers.
This equipment is designed and cons tructed to me et the rigorous demands of the marine envi ronment. 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 fr equency echo sounder designed for use with t he FURUNO
NavNet/NavNet vx2/NavNet 3D series. The DFF3 feeds data about underwate r conditions via a
LAN.
A few of the features are
• 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 display device and Satellite Compass SC-30, heading data fed in NMEA

The network sounder can be installed on a desktop, deck or on a bulkhead. When selecting a
mounting location for the network sounder, kee p the fol lowing in mind:
• The temperature and humidity at the mounting site shou ld be mod e rate and stable.
• Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes and vents.
• The mounting location should be well ventilated.
• Mount the unit where shock and vibration are minimal.
• Keep the unit away from electromagnetic field-generating equipment such as motors and generators.
• Leave slack in cables for maintenance and servicing ease.

Page 16
1. MOUNTING
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the network sounder is placed too close to it. Observe
the compass safe distances noted i n the safety instructions to prevent disturbance to the magnetic compass.
Fasten the network sounder to the mounting location with four se lf-tapping screws (5×20), referring to the outline drawing at the back of this manual for mounti ng dimensions.
1.3Transducer
The performance of the echo sounder largely depends upon the transducer posi tion. Select a
place least affected by air bubbles since turbulence blocks the sounding path. Further, select a
place least influenced by engine noi se. I t is known that ai r bubbles ar e fe west at the p lace wher e
the bow first falls and the next wave rises, at usual cruising speed.
Note: The face of the trans ducer must be facing the sea bottom in nor mal cruising tr im of the boat.
1.4Optional Speed/Temperature Sensors
ST-02MSB, ST-02PSB
1.4.1Mounting considerations
Select a suitable mounting location considering the following points:
• Select a mid-boat flat positi on. The sensor does not have to be in stalled perfectly perpendi cular.
However, the sensor must not be damaged in dry-docking operation.
• Select a place apart from equipment generating heat.
• Select a place in the for ward direction viewing f rom the drain hole, to allow for circulation of cooling water.
• Select a place free from vibration.
• Do not install near the transducer of an echo sounder, to prevent interference to the echo
sounder.
1.4.2Mounting procedure
1.Dry dock the boat.
2.Make a hole of approx. 51 mm in diameter in the
mounting location.
3.Unfasten locknut and remove the sensor section.
4.Apply high-grade sealant to the flange of the sen-
sor.
5.Pass the sensor casing through the hole.
6.Face the notch on the sensor toward boat's bow
and tighten the flange.
7.Set the sensor section to the sensor casing and
tighten the locknut.

TD-ID transducer (Airmar make transduc er)
The TD-ID type transducer can be connected to t h is equipment. However, note the following limitations:
• TD-ID transducer cannot be used with NavNet, NavNet vx2.
• TD-ID transducer cannot be used with non-TD-ID transducer.
• Connect single TD-ID transducer to low frequency WAGO connector, regardless of actual frequency.
Cable fabrication
Fabricate the transducer cable as shown below. Separat e the transducer cable well away from
other electric cab les to prevent interf erence to the sounder. T his is especially i mportant in the case

4.2Replacing the Fuse
The 5A fuse (Type: FGBO-A 125V 5A PBF, Code No. 000-155-85 3-10) in the snap- in fuse holder
on the power cable protects the equi pment from equipment f ault and rever se polarity of t he ship's
mains. If the equipment cannot be powered, the fuse may have blown. Find out the cause for
blown fuse before replacing it. If the fuse blows again after repl acement, contact a FURUNO agent
or dealer for advice.
WARNING
Use the proper fuse.
Use of a wrong fuse can damage the equipment and cause fire.
4.3Restoring Default Settings
This procedure restores all default sounder settings on the NavNet, NavNet 3D. You can restore
all default settings or restore th ose other than transducer and LAN. This procedure should only be
performed by a suitably qualified FURUNO technician.
1.Disconnect the power and LAN cables from the DFF3.
2.Turn on the #1 and #2 switches of the Mode switch. See section 3.2 for the location.
3.Turn on the #7 or #8 switch of the Mode switch as applicable.
#7: Restore default settings other than LAN and transducer.
#8: Restore all default sett ings. Use this when changing transducers.
4.Connect the power cable to the DFF3, and turn on the power at the ship’s switchboard.
5.The LED blinks (every four seconds) when default settings are completely restored.
