bottom conditions. The lower the frequency of
the signal, the wider the detection area. Therefore, the 50 kHz frequency is useful for general

detection and judging bottom condition.
High frequency (200 kHz)
The higher the frequency of the ultrasonic
signal, the better the resolution. For this reason
the 200 kHz frequency is ideal for detailed
observation of fish schools.

1.10Choosing 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 the size of the fish school horizontally on the screen and a slow advance speed
will contract it. A fast advance speed is useful
for observing the rugged bottom minutely. A
slow advance speed is useful for observing the
smooth bottom.

the fish size and the depth value. For details
about the Fish Symbols, see the information
which follows the procedures in this section.

intended for reference purposes; it is not an
accurate measurement of fish length.

Principle of fish size
Returning echoes at the center of the transducer beam are used in fish size calculation.
Fish for size calculation are taken from the 200
kHz beam and their size is calculated from their
strengh found with the 50 kHz beam. In the
example below, only the fish at the center of the
figure is used for size calculation.

Principle
Consideration for fish information
• The 600 W transducers which offer size calculation are 520-5PSD, 520-5MSD, 5255PWD, 525ST-MSD and 525ST-PWD.
• For 1 kW transducer, the integrated type
50/200-1T is recommended to display the
fish symbol and the fish size. When using
both 50B-6 and 200B-5S, they should be
installed in close proximity to each other.
• Echo intensity depends on fish specie.
When the fish size differs between the indicated value and the fish caught, you can
compensate it on the Calib menu (see section 2.6).
11
Page 21
1. OPERATION
B
d
• When Fish Symbols or Fish Info are
enabled, 50 kHz and 200 kHz beams are
transmitted alternately even if a single frequency mode is in use.
• Fish within the zero line area are not measured.
• To reduce error, the detection area should
be approx. 6 to 330 feet from the surface.
• 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 size indicated may be
smaller than actual size.
• In case of a fish school, echoes overlap one
another, so the margin of error will be
greater.
• The fish symbol indication is off when the
bottom is not displayed on the screen.
1.16Alarms
The FCV-620/585 have six conditions which
generate both audio and visual alarms: bottom
alarm, normal fish alarm, bottom lock fish alarm,
water temperature alarm, speed alarm and
arrival alarm. (The water temperature, speed
and arrival alarms require appropriate sensors.)
To silence the buzzer press any key.
Bottom alarm: The bottom alarm alerts you
when the bottom displayed in red or reddish
brown echo is within the alarm range set. To
activate the bottom alarm the depth must be displayed.
Fish (normal) alarm: The fish (normal) alarm
tells you when an echo above a certain strength
(selectable) are within the preset alarm range.
See page 13 for alarm level setting.
Fish (bottom lock) alarm: The fish (bottom
lock) alarm sounds when fish are within a certain distance from the bottom. Note that the
bottom lock display must be turned on to use
this alarm.
Water temperature alarm: The water temperature alarm alerts you when the water temperature is within (inside alarm) the alarm range set
or under/over (outside alarm) the range set.
Speed alarm: The speed alarm alerts you when
the speed is within (inside alarm) or under/over
(outside alarm) the preset speed.
Arrival alarm: The “Inside” arrival alarm alerts
you when you approach to the destination way-
point by the distance set. Alternatively, the “Outside” arrival alarm alerts when you go away
from the preset range from a certain position.

TVG: The fish schools of the same size are displayed in different color between in deep water
and in shallow water because of the feature of
the ultrasonic waves. TVG compensates for
propagation attenuation of the ultrasonic waves.
It does this by equalizing echo presentation so
that fish schools of the same size appear in the
same density in both shallow and deep waters.
The gain is adjusted automatically depending
on the depth. The gain is low at short distance
and getting back with increasing distance. High
provides the greatest degree of gain reduction

Smoothing: Smoothes echo presentation
when enabled. Adjust the setting when echoes

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. The higher the
numeric the greater the TX power. The "Auto"

TX Rate: Changes pulse repetition rate. Normally, the highest rate (10) 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.
The choice "S" means the ship's speed dependent mode, where the TX rate changes automatically with ship's speed. (Requires ship's
speed input.)

4.1Display Unit
Mounting considerations
The display unit can be installed on a tabletop
or flush mounted in a panel. When choosing a
location keep the following in mind:
• The temperature and humidity should be
moderate 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.
• For maintenance and checking purposes,
leave sufficient space at the sides and rear
of the unit and leave slack in cables.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the
display unit is placed too close to it.
Observe the following compass safe distances to prevent disturbance to the magnetic compass:
Standard compass
FCV-620: 0.3 m, FCV-585: 0.5 m
Steering compass
FCV-620: 0.3 m, FCV-585: 0.3 m
Note: When loosening the knob to adjust the
angle of the display, do not decline the unit
90-degree backward. The cable connector
may be damaged if it contacts the bracket.
6. Attach the hard cover to the display unit.
Flush mounting in a panel
Note: It is recommended to set up a dedi-
cated breaker when flush mounting the unit,
since it will be difficult to disconnect cables.
1. Using the paper template (supplied), make
a cutout in the mounting location.
2. Loosen four washer head screws on the
rear of the display unit to remove the
bracket cover and the cover sponge (FCV 585 only).

Transducer
Transducer mounting location
The thru-hull mount transducer (520-5PSD,
520-5MSD) provides the best performance of
all, since the transducer protrudes from the
hull and the effect of air bubbles and turbulence near the hull skin is reduced. When the
boat has a keel, the transducer should be at
least 30 cm away from it. Typical thru-hull
mountings are shown in the figure on the next
page.
The performance of this sounder is directly
related to the mounting location of the transducer, especially for high-speed cruising. The
installation should be planned in advance,
keeping the standard cable length (8 m) and
the following factors in mind:

• Air bubbles and turbulence caused by
movement of the boat seriously degrade
the sounding capability of the transducer.
The transducer should, therefore, be
located in a position where water flow is the
smoothest. Noise from the propellers also
adversely affects performance and the
transducer should not be mounted nearby.
The lifting strakes are notorious for creating
acoustic noise, and these must be avoided
by keeping the transducer inboard of them.
• The transducer must always remain submerged, even when the boat is rolling,
pitching or up on a plane at high speed.
• A practical choice would be somewhere
between 1/3 and 1/2 of the boat's length
from the stern. For planing hulls, a practical
location is generally rather far astern, so
that the transducer is always in water
regardless of the planing attitude.

Procedure for installing the thru-hull
mount transducer
1. With the boat hauled out of the water , mark
the location chosen for mounting the transducer on the bottom of the hull.
2. If the hull is not level within 15
direction, fairing blocks made out of teak
should be used between the transducer
and hull, both inside and outside, to keep
the transducer face parallel with the water
line. Fabricate the fairing block as shown
below and make the entire surface as
smooth as possible to provide an undisturbed flow of water around the transducer.
The fairing block should be smaller than
the transducer itself to provide a channel to
divert turbulent water around the sides of
the transducer rather than over its face.
° in any
3. Drill a hole just large enough to pass the
threaded stuffing tube of the transducer
through the hull, making sure it is drilled
vertically.
4. Apply a sufficient amount of high quality
caulking compound to the top surface of
the transducer, around the threads of the
stuffing tube and inside the mounting hole
(and fairing blocks if used) to ensure watertight mounting.
5. Mount the transducer and fairing blocks
and tighten the locking nuts. Be sure that
the transducer is properly oriented and its
working face is parallel to the waterline.
Note: Do not over-stress the stuffing tube and
locking nuts through excessive tightening,
since the wood block will swell when the boat
is placed in the water. It is suggested that the
nut be tightened lightly at installation and
retightened several days after the boat has
been launched.
Transducer preparation
Before putting the boat in water, wipe the face
of the transducer thoroughly with a detergent
liquid soap. This will lessen the time necessary for the transducer to have good contact
with the water. Otherwise the time required for
complete "saturation" will be lengthened and
performance will be reduced.
DO NOT paint the transducer. Performance
will be affected.

Transducer
The transom mount transducer is very commonly employed, usually on relatively small I/
O or outboard boats. Do not use this method
on an inboard motor boat because turbulence
is created by the propeller ahead of the transducer.
DO NOT overtighten screws. They may be
damaged.

Installing the 525-5PWD
A suitable mounting location is at least 50 cm
away from the engine and where the water
flow is smooth.
1. Drill four pilot holes for self-tapping screw
(5x20) in the mounting location.
2. Attach the transducer to the mounting location with self-tapping screws.
3. Adjust the transducer position so the transducer faces right to the bottom.
If necessary, to improve water flow and
minimize air bubbles staying on the transducer face, incline the transducer about 5
at the rear. This may require a certain
amount of experimentation for fine tuning
at high cruising speeds.
4. Fill the gap between the wedge front of the
transducer and transom with epoxy material to eliminate any air spaces.

Remarks on installation
• Turn off the engine and anchor the boat
while installing the equipment.
• Install the transducer in the engine room.
• Except for installing the transducer to the
bottom of hull, do not turn on its power so it
may be damaged.
Choosing the mounting location
Transducer
Silicone
Sealant
• The mounting location should be where the
hull is of single-hull thickness and is void of
air or flotation materials other than solid
fiberglass between the transducer face and
the water.
• The mounting location is between 15 to 50
cm from the centerline of the hull.
• Do not place the transducer over hull struts
or ribs which run under the hull.
• Avoid a location where the rising angle of
the hull exceeds 15
°, to minimize the effect
of the boat's rolling.
• You will finalize the mounting location
through some trial and error . The procedure
for this is shown later.

Other angles: The shim is required. Skip to
step 2 of "Adjusting".
If you do not know the transom angle, temporarily attach the bracket and sensor to
the transom to determine if the plastic shim
is needed.
5. Using the three #10 x 1-1/4" self-tapping
screws, temporarily screw the bracket to
the hull. DO NOT tighten the screws completely at this time. Follow the step 1-4 in
"Attaching the sensor to the bracket",
before proceeding with "Adjusting".
Adjusting
1. Using a straight edge, sight the underside
of the sensor relative to the underside of
the hull. The stern of the sensor should be
1-3 mm (1/16-1/8") below the bow of the
sensor or parallel to the bottom of the hull.
Note: Do not position the bow of the sensor
lower than the stern because aeration will
occur.
2. To adjust the sensor's angle relative to the
hull, use the tapered plastic shim provided.
If the bracket has been temporarily fastened to the transom, remove it. Key the
shim in place on the back of the bracket.

water seeping into the transom. Screw the
bracket to the hull. Do not tighten the
screws completely at this time.
4. Repeat step 1 to ensure that the angle of
the sensor is correct.
Note: Do not position the sensor farther into
the water than necessary to avoid increasing
drag, spray, and water noise and reducing
boat speed.
5. Using the vertical adjustment space on the
bracket slots, slide the sensor up or down

Cable routing
Route the sensor cable over the transom,
through a drain hole, or thorough a new hole
drilled in the transom above the waterline.
Never cut the cable or remote the connector;
this will void the warranty. Always wear safety
goggles and a dust mask.
1. If a hole must be drilled, choose a location
well above the waterline. Check for
obstructions such as trim tabs, pumps, or
wiring inside the hull. Mark the location
with a pencil. Drill a hole through the transom using a 19 mm or 3/4" bit (to accommodate the connector).
2. Route the cable over or through the
transom.
3. On the outside of the hull secure the cable
against the transom using the cable
clamps. Position a cable clamp 50 mm (2")
above the bracket and mark the mounting
hole with a pencil.
4. Position the second cable clamp halfway
between the first clamp and the cable hole.
Mark this mounting hole.
5. If a hole has been drilled in the transom,
open the appropriate slot in the transom
cable cover. Position the cover over the
cable where it enters the hull. Mark the two
mounting holes.
6. At each of the marked locations, use a 3
mm or 1/8" bit to drill a hole 10 mm (3/8")
deep. The prevent drilling too deeply, wrap
masking tape around the bit 10 mm (3/8")
from the point.
7. Apply marine sealant to the threads of the
#6 x 1/2" self-tapping screw to prevent
water from seeping into the transom. If you
have drilled a hole through the transom,
apply marine sealant to the space around
the cable where it passes through the
transom.

8. Position the two cable clamps and fasten
them in place. If used, push the cable
cover over the cable and screw it in place.
9. Route the cable to the instrument being
careful not to tear the cable jacket when
passing it though the bulkhead(s) and
other parts of the boat. To reduce electrical
interference, separate the sensor cable
from other electrical wiring and "noise"

Establishing the ground
The ground wire (1.25 sq or more, local
supply) should be as short as possible. The
signal line ground is isolated from the chassis
ground, however the power line is not insulated. Therefore, when connecting eternal
equipment having positive ground, do not
ground the signal line to the chassis. If excessive noise shows on the screen, the ground
may be inadequate. In this case, attach a
steel plate measuring 20 cm by 30 cm on the
outside of the hull to provide a ground point.
Connect the ground wire there. Use a
"closed" type lug () to make the connection at the display unit. Do not use an "open"
type lug ().
