FOREWORD

A Word to FCV-1150 Owners

Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO FCV-1150 Color LCD 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 innovative and dependable 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 installed, operated and maintained properly. Please carefully read and follow the recommended procedures for operation and maintenance.

We would appreciate hearing from you, the end-user, about whether we are achieving our purposes.

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

• In addition to the conventional gain setting, Gain may be applied to the whole display.

• Alarms: Bottom, Fish (bottom lock and normal), Speed*, Water Temperature*, and Arrival*.

• Edge function of white marker traces the bottom contour with a thin white line.

• Zero line may be removed to look for fish near the surface.

• Accu Fish provides at-a-glance recognition of fish size, with fish symbols and size or depth indication. (Available with transducer 50/200-1T.)

• Heaving compensation for stable picture always.*

• User-programmable nav data displays provide analog and digital nav data.

• Waypoints (up to 20) for marking important locations.

Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO equipment.

Features

The FURUNO FCV-1150 is a dual frequency Color LCD Sounder. Comprised of a display unit and a transducer, the FCV-1150 displays underwater conditions on a 12.1-inch color LCD in various colors according to echo strength.

The main features of the FCV-1150 are

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

• Bright LCD gives excellent readability even in broad daylight.

• 64-color (including background) presentation provides detailed information on fish density and bottom composition.

• Destination waypoint feature provides range, bearing and time-to-go to destination waypoint.

* Requires appropriate sensor.

TFT LCD

The display device employs a high quality TFT LCD which displays better than 99.99% of its pixels. The remaining pixels may drop out or light, however this is not an indication of malfunction.

1.4.1 Single frequency display

Low frequen cy

The lower the frequency of the ultrasonic signal, the wider the detection area. Therefore, the high frequency is usef ul for g eneral detection and judging bottom condition.

High frequency

The higher the frequency of the ul trasonic signal, the better the resolution. For this reason the low frequency is ideal for detailed observation of fish schools.

1.14 Adjusting TVG

A fish school at a deep depth is displayed in weak colors even if it is equal in strength to one in shallow waters. Th is is du e to propagation attenuation of the ultrasonic wave. To compensate for this difference, use TVG. TVG automatically adjusts the gain wit h depth so that echoes of the same strength and different depths are shown in the same colors regardless of their depths. The gain is increased with depth to dis play echoes of equal strengths in the same colors. In the figure below, for example, the TVG is s et for 100 m and the TVG level is adjusted. Then, unwanted echoes at a distance less than 100 m are deleted and echoes at depths greater than 100 m are not affected.

Unwanted echoes appear.

1.19 Fish Information

• With the inside-hull transducer, signal attenuation is different between 50 kHz and 200 kHz. Therefore, a fish may not be detected or the fish length indicated may be smaller than actual length.

• In case of a fish school, echoes overlap one another, so the margin of error will be greater.

• The fish symbol indication is not shown when the bottom is not displayed on the screen.

(Accu Fish)

The Accu Fish feature, available with the transducer 50/200-1T, estimates fish length, displaying an appropriately sized fish symbol together with digital depth value or fish length. The information presented by this feature is intended for reference purposes only; it is not a completely accurate measurement of fish length.

1.19.1 Consideration for fish information

• If the indicated fish is different from the ac-

tual fish size, you can compensate for this on the Accu Fish menu.

• When Accu Fish is enabled, 50 kHz and

200 kHz frequencies are transmitted alternately, even if a single frequency mode is in use.

cy and press the ENTER key. The picture for the frequency selected here is shown on the display.

Freq Control: Four different transducer frequencies and frequency adjustment range are automatically set at installation. However, the range of frequency adjustment for each frequency may be different depending on installation characteristics. For example, for a 200 kHz frequency transducer, the default frequencies are 200 kHz, 196 kHz, 198 kHz and 204 kHz. If those frequencies are not suitable for your use, you can change them. Further, in case of a wide-bandwidth transducer, frequencies may be chosen from the available frequency range. This allows you to have multiple frequencies for a single transducer. For example, if you have the transducer 82B-35R, you can register frequencies between 66 kHz and 109 kHz. The frequencies registered here may be selected at Freq Choice in the Sounder menu.

Set transducer frequency keeping in mind these considerations.

• Set frequency which is suitable for detecting targeted fish.

• Shift frequency so as to reduce interference.

1.20.2 Tx/Rx menu

Max

Tx Power: Interference may appear on the screen when an echo sounder having the same frequency as your own is being operated in the vicinity of your vessel. In this case, lower your Tx power and contact the vessel to request them to reduce their Tx power. Tx power is available in Off, Min, 1-10, and Auto. Off turns off transmission. Min sets minimum Tx power. Auto automatically adjusts Tx power. 1-10 sets desired Tx power; the higher the value the more the Tx power. When Tx power is reduced (Off, Min, 1-9), the indication "P/R" appears at the top of the display. Note that Auto is automatically selected when Accu Fish is active.

Tx Rate: Changes pulse repetition rate, in 20 levels. Normally, the highest rate (20) is used. When in shallow waters second reflection echoes may appear between surface and actual bottom echo. In this case, lower the Tx rate level. Max automatically changes the interval and pulse length with depth. S activates the ship's speed dependent mode, where the TX rate changes automatically with ship's speed. (Requires ship's speed input.)

resolution, however, detection range is shorter (pulse length is about 1/4 of Std) than the Std setting. Short 2 raises the detection resolution, however, detection range is shorter (pulse length is about 1/2 of Std) than the Std setting. Std is the standard pulse length, and is suitable for general use. Long Increases the detection range but lowers the resolution (about 1/2 compared to the Std pulse length). Manual enables manual setting of pulse length, at "Pulse Length."

Pulse Length (HF/LF): Operative when Manual is selected at Tx Pulse. A small value gives better detection resolution, however detection range is shorter. On the other hand, a large value gives better detection range but resolution is lower. The setting range is 0.05 -

5.0 (msec).

Rx Band (LF/HF): Rx bandwidth is automatically set according to Tx pulse length. Normally the Std position provides good performance. If noise is a problem switch to

Narrow. For better resolution, select Wide.

Target Echo: Set fishing objective. Normal is

About the mix display

The mix display compares echo intensity between low and high frequencies, and displays echoes from tiny fish in discriminative colors. This is done by utilizing the fact that tiny fish return a stronger echo against a high frequency rather than a low frequency. It works as follows.

• If a high frequency echo is stronger than the corresponding echo on the low frequency, the high frequency echo is displayed.

• If the low frequency echo is stronger than or equal to the high frequency echo, it is less likely to be a tiny fish and therefore is displayed in blue.

• If the echoes on both frequencies have the intensity corresponding to reddish-brown or red, they are displayed in reddish brown or red. This is necessary to display the zero line and bottom in reddish-brown or red.

• In other words, the echoes displayed in orange thru light-blue are considered to be tiny fish such as whitebait.

2.3 Range Menu

The Range menu is where you can pre-set basic ranges, zoom range, bottom lock range, and turn independent range adjustment on or off. The default values are suitable for most fishing applications, however you may wish to change pre-set ranges to suit your needs. Note that when the depth unit is changed all range settings are restored to default. Therefore, it is a good idea to change the depth unit first and then change ranges.

Zoom Range

Zoom range sets the range for the marker zoom and bottom zoom displays. Press S or T to set zoom range as desired. For the horizontal split screen, the range is one-half the value set.

B/L Range

Set display range for bottom lock and bottom discrimination displays. Use S or T to set B/ L range as desired. For the horizontal split screen, the range is one-half the value set.

Range 1 to Range 8

1. Use S or T to select a range and press

the ENTER key. For example, select Range 1, and the setting window looks something like the one below.

2. Use S or T to set range. Ranges must

be set from shallow to deep, and a range can not be lower than a preceding one. The minimum and maximum ranges available are shown on the range setting window.

3. Press the ENTER key to set confirm setting.

Split Range

Split range enables/disables independent adjustment of range in the dual frequency display. Turn on for independent adjustment. Effective in dual frequency mode only.

Sound Speed

Adjust the sound velocity of the Tx/Rx signal if the depth indication is incorrect, because of water temperature or salinity density.

Temp

If the water temperature indication is wrong, you can apply an offset to it to correct it. For example, if the water temperature indication is 2° higher than actual water temperature, enter

-2. For details, refer to the installation manual.

Bottom Level

In the default bottom level setting (0), the equipment judges consecutive strong echoes to be bottom echoes. If, in that setting, the depth indication is unstable, adjust the bottom level. If vertical lines extend upward from the bottom echo in the bottom lock display, lower the bottom level to erase the vertical lines. If the level is too low, however, it may be difficult to distinguish bottom fish from the bottom echo.

Zero Line

Turn the zero line (transmission line) on or off. When turned off, the transmission line disappears, which allows you to better watch fish echoes near the surface. The length of the transmission line changes with transducer used and installation characteristics. If the width of the transmission line is 4.5 ft (default value) or more, set the transmission line width with Zero Line Area, as below.

Zero Line Area

This feature adjusts the width of the transmission line from the area specified when the menu item Zero Line is turned off. The effective range is 4.5 to 9.8 ft. For a long tail, increase the value. If the transmission line does not disappear, raise the STC or lower the Tx power.
