“ACCU-FISH™” identies individual sh
with size and sh mark function

Recognizes individual or multiple sh instantaneously

ACCU-FISH™ is a revolutionary sh size assessment function of the FCV-587.
In order to assess individual sh size, the echo strength from the sh needs to be
computed and turned into sh size display on the screen. It can detect the sh size of
10 to 199 cm, in the depth of 2 to 100 m.

Displaying sh marks

The sh mark can be utilized to display on individual sh echoes when detected.
It helps beginners to identify the sh targets on the display for a more fun shing experience.
Fish mark is selectable from two types of sh
symbol, circle and square. The sh symbol, displayed
in two different sizes (Large: over 50 cm, Small: 10
to 49 cm), is a great help for anglers to identify sh
targets. Circle and square indentify targets without
hiding sh echo.

Displaying sh size or sh depth

Activating the ACCU-FISH™ from the menu, FSV-587 displays sh size on the individual
sh echo. When the ACCU-FISH™ is used concurrently with sh marks, it greatly helps
anglers to identify sh targets on the display. You may also select and display the target
depth instead of sh size, which helps to see how far the sh is from the boat.

In some instances, sh size indicated on the FCV-587 may differ from its actual size.
Please read the operation manual carefully before using this feature.

Striped

Solid

Circle

Square

Circles and sh size are displayed on top of
the sh echoes. When in dual frequencies
mode, you can set the mark to be displayed
either individually or on both windows.

Bottom Discrimination feature

The FCV-587’s Bottom Discrimination feature enables the sh nder to indicate if the major
component of the bottom is rocks, gravel, sand, mud.
The Bottom Discrimination feature provides you with valuable information that helps you
locate rich shing grounds, and boost your catch of the day.

Please keep the following in mind when using the Bottom Discrimination Sounder:

1) Use at a depth of 5 m - 100 m.

2) Use transducer in transom mount or thru-hull mount.

3) Set the transducer parallel to the bottom of the craft.

4) To show a consistent display of the actual bottom, set the range display
of the sh nder screen to “auto”.

5) Enter the ship’s draft value.

6) Use a ship speed of 10 kn or less.

7)

In some instances, bottom component indicated on the FCV-587 may
differ from its actual bottom structure.
Please read the operation manual

carefully

before using this feature.

probable bottom composition by graphic or four colors.

White Line function distinguishes sh from bottom

The white line function helps you distinguish bottom sh from the bottom by changing the strongest
signal color to white. This function is not only useful discriminating bottom sh but is also valuable
for judging sh school density. The setting range is 0%-100%,
in intervals of 1%. The higher the value the thicker the line.

Field Test

Screenshot from sh reef in lake:

Many sh marks appear on the screen in the thick weed bed.
The white line function helps to distinguish between the sea
bottom, weeds and the actual sh.

Post-Processing Gain Control

With conventional gain controls, changes are made for new
echoes only when a change in the gain setting is applied.
With the FCV-587’s Post-Processing Gain Control, changes
in the gain setting are applied to new echoes as well as all
of the echoes already on the screen. Because the changes
are applied to both new and existing returns, you will be
able to quickly and easily nd the right gain setting for your
conditions.

Bright LCD for excellent viewability in sunlight

Bright 800 cd/m2 LCD gives excellent readability even in bright sunlight.

FCV-587 has a LCD screen which does not "black out" when
wearing polarized sunglasses at certain angles, providing no
loss of visibility while shing.

Fish Alarm function

When sh echoes come in the area which you set above the bottom, beeps sound and the alarm icon ashes
at the top right corner of the screen. Furthermore, an integrated alarm setting is also available that can be set
by every and each condition, including water depth, target depth, water temp, bottom type, etc.

Swivel mounting bracket to adjust
the angle of the display unit

The gimbal mount allows the display unit to swivel around
when desktop mounted. You can adjust the angle of the display
to get the optimum viewing angle.
