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. OPERATION
1.10 Picture Advance Speed
The picture advance speed determines how
quickly the vertical scan lines run across the
screen. When choosing a picture advance
speed, keep in mind that a fast advance
speed will expand echoes horizontal ly on the
screen and a slow advance speed will contract them. A fast adva nce speed is useful for
observing the rugged bottom closely. A slow
advance speed is useful for observing the
smooth bottom.
3. Use S to select Pic. Advance and press
the ENTER key.

Slow
4. Use S or T to select picture advance
speed desired and press the ENTER key.
The fractions in the window indicate the
number of scan lines produced per transmission. 1/16 is the slowest speed and 4/
1 is the fastest speed. 1/16 means one
scan line is produced every 16 transmissions. "Stop" freezes the display and is
useful for taking a photo of the display.

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.
