FOREWORD

A Word to the Owner of the FURUNO FSV-30
Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO FSV-30 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 electronics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our extensive global network of agents and dealers.
This equipment is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine environment. However, no machine can perform its intended function unless operated and maintained properly. Please carefully read and follow the recommended procedures for operation and maintenance.
Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO equipment.
Features
The FSV-30 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-30 are
Long detection range (5000m).
Sphere transducer provides 90 degrees vertical detection.
Vivid 32-color echo strength dependent display for improved recognition of
bottom, fish school concentration, distribution and volume.
Wide variety of display combination modes: Horizontal, vertical, history, and
echo sounder.
Function keys for direct access to desired menu item.
User programs for one-touch setup of equipment.
Menu-driven operation.
Fish histogram shows signal strength distribution of echo within estimate
mark.
Various marks and alphanumeric fishing and navigation information for
intuitive operation.
Memory cards for storage and replay of picture and settings.
viii
Audio function allows monitoring of echoes along user-selected area through
built-in loudspeaker.
Fish mark estimates fish speed.
Fish estimate feature compares volume of two fish schools.
Target lock automatically tracks fish school.
Net course mark shows probable drift of net against tide.

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.
Note: The example screens shown in this manual may not match the screens
you see on your display. The screen you see depends on your system configuration and equipment settings.
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 must be as below to
prevent damage to the transducer and the hull unit. 1200 mm stroke: 15 kts or less 1600 mm stroke: 12 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 into the 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 [
key pressed blinks during lowering and lights when the transducer is completely lowered. It takes about 22 seconds for full protrusion in case of 1200 mm stroke and 29 seconds in case of 1600 mm stroke. In normal use fully lower the transducer. If the transducer becomes entangled in the net for some reason, partially raise the transducer with the [

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 and makes it difficult to discriminate wanted echoes but also causes bottom echoes to be painted in strong colors, resulting in echoes being masked by bottom reflections. Normally, set the control somewhere between positions 3 and 7.
1. If the horizontal and vertical modes are active, press the [H/V H1/H2] key to show the range and gain indications of the mode you wish to adjust in yellow. Pressing the [H/V H1/H2] key changes the range and gain indication in yellow between horizontal1 and horizontal2, or horizontal and vertical, alternatively.
2. Adjust the [GAIN] control.
New gain setting is momentarily displayed in large characters at the top of each display. Gain is always displayed at the top right-hand corner of the horizontal display and bottom on the vertical 1 display.
