FOREWORD

A Word to FE-700 Owners

Thank you for purchasing this navigational echo sounder. We are confident you will discover why FURUNO has become synonymous with quality and reliability.

Dedicated in the design and manufacture of marine electronics equipment for half a century, FURUNO Electric Company has gained an unrivaled reputation as a world leader in the industry. This is the result of our technical excellence as well as our worldwide distribution and service network.

Please carefully read and follow the safety information and operating and maintenance instructions set forth in this manual before attempting to operate the equipment and conduct any maintenance. Your navigational echo sounder will perform to the utmost of its ability only if it is operated and maintained in accordance with the correct procedures.

This equipment is designed, produced and documented by FURUNO ELECTRIC CO., LTD., complying with ISO 9001 standards as certified by the Lloyd’s Register of Quality Assurance System.

Features

The FURUNO FE-700 is comprised of display unit and transducer unit. Echo sounding data is displayed on the bright 6.5-inch color TFT (Thin Film Transistor) LCD display.

The main features of the FE-700 are

1. Complies with the IMO and ISO standards

MSC.74(69) Annex 4 and ISO9875.

2. Cost-effective; no paper, no consumables; high accuracy and high reliability - no rotating gears and belts as in the paper echo sounders

3. High-contrast 6.5-inch color LCD display featuring a wide viewing angle and adjustable brightness.

4. Wide variety of modes with never-get-lost default position.

5. Automatic function permits unattended adjustment of range, gain, and pulselength. The range scale and gain automatically change to display the bottom.

6. Position, course, speed, time are repeated from the external devices.

7. Alarms: shallow water, bottom lost, power drop

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The FE-700 uses ultrasonic pulses to detect the seabed and other underwater objects. The display unit contains all basic electric circuits and logic processor. Electrical pulses are converted into acoustical energy in the transducer fitted on the ship’s hull. The processor measures the time of pulses travelling between the seabed and transducer and displays the water depths in the graphical form or other forms.

The transducers have a specific beam width with respect to their working frequency, 50 kHz or 200 kHz. The high frequency has a narrow beamwidth and is immune to aeration when the ship is going astern or in rough weather. The low frequency has a wide beamwidth and more powerful sounding capability.

1.6.1 NAV mode

The depth from the transducer to the seabed (bottom clearance) is shown on the screen. Note “BELOW TRANSDUCER” appears at the bottom of the screen in this mode.

Default is, Color: Amber

Range: Automatic range switching Window: 15 minutes Shallow depth alarm: 20 m

NOTE: These parameters can be customized to your preference and the last setting is used at a next switch-on. This is true on all other modes.

CAUTION

DBS is not a water clearance below keel. Do not use this mode in shallow waters to avoid grounding.

1.6.3 HISTORY mode

This mode provides a mix of Contour and Strata displays. The Contour display can be scrolled over the past 24 h while the right side Strata display (layers of different colors according to reverberation strengths) shows the latest sounding for 5 minutes.

Pressing the [+] or [ display forwards or backwards, respectively.

] key moves the Contour

1.6.2 DBS mode

The Depth Below Surface mode provides a draft-adjusted depth reading and will be useful in referencing to the nautical chart. The draft should be adjusted by the DRAFT key according to the actual draft value. If you find any difficulty to check for the draft value, use the NAV mode.

When the DBS mode is selected, the message “Confirm and set ship’s draft to use DBS mode” appears. Confirm ship's draft and set it by referring to section 1.12.

BELOW KEEL (when the draft setting is –10.0 to –0.1) or BELOW SURFACE (when the draft setting is 0 to 30.0) appears at the bottom of the display and the draft value appears at the upper right-hand corner in the DBS mode.
