The JFP-180BB new and compactly designed searchlight
sonar integrates multiple display modes, which will allow you
to control your presentation at your own convenience.

Unique features

The sonar integrates multiple display modes, facilitating a valuable working environment.
The new JRC searchlight sonar illuminates the underwater scene with a beam of sonic
energy, rotating through 360 degrees.

Multiple display modes

JRC’s new JFP-180BB searchlight sonar is black box con gured as standard, allowing you to
select a preferred display size suiting your vessel. JRC’s displays uniformly incorporate a high
brightness LCD display, available in 10.4- or 15-inch, ideal for installations on (relative) small
commercial  shing vessels.

It also integrates a dedicated one-touch day/night key, which provides suitable brightness
to the display images, supporting particular time and scene operations.

Suiting your moment in time

JRC has been providing sales and support of products since 1915. Today, JRC o ers comprehensive assistance
through its organisation, in partnership with a worldwide StarNetwork™ of over 270 fully trained and quali ed
partners and agents, assisting you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year.

JRC StarNetwork™

The new searchlight sonar allows you to carry out all operations simply by using the keyboard.

The layout has a full
complement of keys,
including direct tilting,
hoist control, and special
one-touch menu keys
to access di erent
scanning modes on
screen. This makes it
easy to navigate through
all common used tasks.

The logic of the controls and excellent on-screen menus will greatly shorten most users’
learning period.

Simple and precise operation Continues searching when adjusting tilt angle

The newly developed JFP-180BB give the user a feature not previously found on this class of sonar.
The searchlight sonar will not stop searching when adjusting the tilt angle. This is a very useful
tool for enhancing your e ciency of  shing operations and safety of navigation.

Fish and underwater targets are displayed in eight colours, including white, on a high
brightness LCD display. The searchlight sonar integrates a colour palette, allowing you
to change the ratio of red, green and blue by choosing a di erent tone. The strength
of the colours can be freely set in 15 steps. You can also set the tones according
to the target  sh species, generating the most optimised on-screen view at your
convenience.

The JFP-180BB provides a range of display modes to suit the search task. You can select a
detailed display image at your convenience.

Flexible black box configuration

The searchlight sonar consists of a compact processor, dedicated keyboard and high
performance transducer, allowing for a  exible installation approach in con ned spaces. JRC
also provides an optional 10.4- and 15-inch high brightness
monitor, and for those who prefer to specify their own
display, the JFP-180BB allows you to choose what type
and size of display to connect to the unit. You can choose
between CRT and LCD display, as long as it supports VGA.

Interfacing

The new JFP-180BB incorporates a highly reliable industry standard interfacing  eld. Connect
additional navigation equipment, such as GPS, which provides on-screen the exact location of this
vessel. It also shows the track line of the vessels’ bow wake (wave that relatively spreads out in the
rear of the vessel), initially saved every 2 seconds.

Optimum tilting

The centre of the beam can be set in 1 degree increments
from 5 degrees from the horizontal, to 90 degrees from
the sea surface. The transducers ultra sonic beam sweeps a
speci c sector and bearing. When pointing straight down,
the beam will give a high de nition picture of the sea  oor.
As the beam moves from the perpendicular to the horizontal,
bottom de nition reduces and  sh detection improves.

Searching all around

The horizontal scan (sonar mode) can search through
a full 360 degree or search a selection of up to 16
di erent sectors using a 5- or 10-degree beam width.
