SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER
Keep away from moving shaft of the hull unit.
Gears may cause injury.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not open the equipment.
Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment.
Immediately turn off the power at the switchboard if water leaks into the equipment or something is dropped in the equipment.
Continued use of the equipment can cause fire or electrical shock. Contact a FURUNO agent for service.
WARNING
Keep heater away from equipment.
A heater can melt the equipment's power cord, which can cause fire or electrical shock.
Use the proper fuse.
Fuse rating is shown on the equipment. Use of a wrong fuse can result in equip­ment damage.
Do not operate the equipment with wet hands.
Electrical shock can result.
Do not disassemble or modify the equipment.
Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can result.
Do not place liquid-filled containers on the top of the equipment.
Fire or electrical shock can result if a liquid spills into the equipment.
Immediately turn off the power at the switchboard if the equipment is emitting smoke or fire.
Continued use of the equipment can cause fire or electrical shock. Contact a FURUNO agent for service.
Make sure no rain or water splash leaks into the equipment.
Fire or electrical shock can result if water leaks in the equipment.
i
CAUTION
Maximum speed while the transducer is projected and being raised or lowered is as below, to prevent damage to the transducer.
Projected Raising/ Lowering
1200 mm stroke Max. 18 kt Max. 15 kt 1600 mm stroke Max. 15 kt Max. 12 kt
Do not use the equipment for other than its intended purpose.
Use of the equipment as a stepping stool, for example, may result in personal injury or equipment damage.
A warning label is attached to the units of the system. Do not remove the label. If the label is missing or damaged, contact a FURUNO agent or dealer.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, do not remove cover. No user-serviceable parts inside.
DANGER
Keep fingers away from gears. Shaft may cause injury. Keep away froom moving shaft.

FOREWORD

A Word to the Owner of the FURUNO FSV-24
Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO FSV-24 Color Scanning Sonar. We are confident you will see why the FURUNO name has become synonymous with quality and reliability.
For over 50 years FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for quality marine electr onics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our extensive global network of agents and dealers.
This equipment is designed and constructed t o meet the rigorous demands of the marine environment. However, no machine can perform its int ended function unless 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.
Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO equipment .
Features
The FSV-24 is a full-circle, multibeam electronic color scanning sonar which detects and displays fish schools on a 21-inch non-glare, high-resolution color monitor. (System also available without monitor.)
The main features of the FSV-24 are
Vivid 32-color echo strength dependent display for improved recognition of bottom, f ish school concentration, distribution and volume.
Memory cards for unlimited st orage and replay of picture and settings.
Function keys for direct access to desired menu item.
User programs for one-touch setup of equipment.
Menu-driven operation.
Wide variety of display modes: Horizontal, vertical, history, and echo sounder.
Fish histogram shows signal strength distribution of echo within estimate
mark.
Various marks and alphanumeric fishing and navigation inf ormation for intuitive operation.
viii
Audio function allows monitoring of echoes along user-selected area through built-in loudspeaker.
Fish mark estimat es fish speed.
Fish estimate f eat ure compares volume of two fish schools.
Target lock automatically tracks fish school.
Net course mark shows probable drift of net against tide.
Event mark denotes important locations.
High power MOS FET transmitter for reliable operation.
Automatic screen degaussing
Comprehensive testing facility

1.2 Turning the Power On/Off

1.2.1 Turning the power on
Press the POWER ON (|) switch. A beep sounds, the lamp above the switch lights, and the last-used mode is presented.
1.2.2 Turning the power off
1. First retract the transducer with the [
] key. The lamp above the switch blinks
while the transducer is being raised and lights steadily when it is fully raised.
Note: While raising the transducer, the ship speed speed must be as below
to prevent damage to the transducer. 1200 mm stroke: 12 kts or less 1600 mm stroke: 15 kts or less
2. Press the POWER OFF (
) switch for more than one second, after the [
]
key lights steadily.
Note: The transducer is automatically retracted int o t he tank if the POWER OFF
) switch is pressed before retracting the transducer. However, for
( safety purposes, make it a habit to retract the transducer before turning off the power.

1.3.1 Lowering the transducer
With the boat at the fishing ground, press the [ ] or [ ] key. The lamp above the key pressed blinks during lowering and lights when the transducer is completely lowered. In normal use fully lower the transducer. If the transducer becomes entangled in the net for some reason, partially raise the t r ansducer with the [ key. This raises the transducer by 400 mm.
1.3.2 Raising the transducer
Press the [ ] key to raise the transducer. The lamp above the switch blinks while the transducer is being raised and lights steadily when it is fully raised.
CAUTION

1.7 Adjusting the Gain

The [GAIN] control adjusts receiver gain (sensitivity) for the horizontal and vertical modes. Adjust it so fish echoes are clearly displayed with minimal noise on the screen. Too high a gain setting not only displays excess noise a nd makes it difficult to discriminate wanted echoes but also causes bottom echoes to be painted in strong colors, resulting in echoes being masked by bott om reflections. Normally, set the control somewhere between positions 3 and 7.
1. If the horizontal and vertical modes are active, press t he [H/V] key to show
the range and gain indications of the mode you wish to adjust in yellow.
2. Adjust the [GAIN] control.
New gain setting is momentarily displayed in large characters at the top of the horizontal display and center of the vertical 1 display. Gain is always displayed at the top right-hand corner of the horizontal display and bottom left-hand corner on the vertical 1 display.
