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.

1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
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 Lowering, Raising the Transdu cer
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
]
Maximum speed while the transducer is
projected and being raised or lowered
is as below, to prevent damage to the
transducer.

1600 mm stroke Max. 15 kt Max. 12 kt
1.4 Screen Brilliance
The [BRILLIANCE] control adjusts screen brilliance. Adjust it to suit lighting
conditions.
Note :The brilliance of an external monitor cannot be adjusted with the [BRILL]
control. Use the associated control on the monitor.

This sonar provides a total of nine display mode selections: Horizontal, Vertical1,
Vertical1 + Vertical2, Vertical1 + ES1 (echo sounder), Vert ical 1 + ES2 (echo
sounder or net recorder), History, ES1, ES2, and ES1 + ES2. The user may
preset as many modes as desired and select one with the [MODE] key. The
default modes are Horizontal, Vertical 1, Vertical 1 + Vertical 2, and History.

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.
