COLOR LCD SOUNDER

The FCV-295 is a new color digital sounder designed for a

variety of professional fishing operations. It features a

bonded 10.4" LCD display providing superior

viewing even in direct sunlight. You can display echoes in 8,

16, or 64 colors, with color assignment dependent on the

strength of the returned echo.

The FURUNO Free Synthesizer (FFS) Transceiver allows a

wide selection of operating frequencies. You may choose

any two frequencies between 28 and 200 kHz to fit your

fishing operation. Output power is selectable from 1, 2 or 3

kW. A wide variety of display modes and functions are

available, which provide skippers with simple and intuitive

information.

•

Post-processing gain control applies to all existing returns on the display

•

FURUNO Free Synthesizer transceiver allows adjustable operating frequency

FURUNO digital filter optimizes the
gain to obtain highly defined
images of underwater conditions.
The FCV-295 can clearly show

target fish close to the seabed.
The digital filter also eliminates noise to deliver
sharp and detailed echo presentation, achieving
detection of fishing reef and even individual fish
with absolute clarity.

Quick Gain Control

With the FCV-295's Quick Gain control,
changes in the Gain setting are applied to
not only to new echoes, but to all past
echoes on the screen. You can compare
the past and current echoes under same
gain setting. Because the changes are
applied to both new and existing returns,
you will be able to quickly and easily find
the right Gain setting for your conditions.

White EdgeFURUNO Digital Filter

The top of the seabed is displayed in white to easily discern seabed structure from
bottom fish returns. While conventional bottom discrimination function called
“White Line” applies also to the strongest echoes, the White Edge function
enhances the discrimination of bottom fish and seabed by painting a very thin line
above the bottom contour regardless of gain setting or display color.

Operating Frequency Adjustment

When FURUNO transducers are connected and set to the FCV-295,
the operating frequency range will be registered and shown in the
menu. The user can shift the operating frequency freely between the
ranges at any time from the menu. With the FURUNO 82B-35R
transducer, the operator can select any operating frequency from 66
to 109 kHz. This feature is particularly useful for vessels targeting
many different species, or when the fish finders of other ships in the
a

rea cause interference.

Faster Transmission Rate For Detailed Detection

The rate of transmission is increased by more than 30% compared to conventional fish
finders. As the result, more detailed information about underwater conditions can be
gained through the same sounding interval. With the FCV-295’ s AUTO transmission
function, the rate is automatically raised in shallow waters and lowered in deep waters,
which provides for detailed detection of seabed targets.

Function Key

An often-used function such as TVG (Time
Varied Gain) can be programmed and made
available with the press of the
Function key. This will give you
access to any menu item
without opening the menu.
