The Advantage of Furuno's Digital Filter Technology

Detailed target presentation with FDF

Furuno Digital Filter (FDF) optimizes the gain settings automatically to obtain highly

defined images of the underwater conditions. FDF also eliminates noise to deliver

sharp, detailed images, allowing for detection of fishing reefs and even individual fish

with absolute clarity.

Fine Tuning your Frequency with FFS

Furuno Free Synthesizer (FFS) technology permits a wide selection of operating

frequencies from 28 to 200 kHz. If a Furuno transducer is used, operating frequency

is automatically set in the menu, and can be shifted manually at any time.

In this blow-up of an actual sounder screen, you can see how the Furuno

Digital Filter clearly detects and displays target fish close to the seabed.

Definitions Acoustic: Relating to sound and sound waves. Acoustic Property: The ability of a material to carry sound through it. Acoustic Window: That part of the transducer through which the ultrasonic vibrations from the piezoceramic assembly travel to water. Air Bladder: An organ in a fish which allows it to adjust to changes in water pressure at different depths. Amplitude: The degree of intensity (pressure) of a sound wave. If we could hear the sound wave, amplitude would be it's 'loudness.
PAGE 4
Frequency and Beamwidth Frequency demystified Frequency refers to the number of sound waves that radiate from a transducer each second. Sound waves are made up of high pressure and lowpressure pulses traveling through a given medium. The wavelength of sound is defined as the distance between two successive highpressure pulses or two successive low-pressure pulses.

Smart Sensors Sidelobes If you are looking for a solution to show you precision depth in water as shallow as 2 feet and temperature changes as minute as 2/100ths of a degree, then the Furuno Smart Sensor is the answer. What is a Smart Sensor? Furuno Smart Sensors are transducers specifically designed to give an accurate numerical value for depth instead of drawing an image on the screen. Smart Sensors are available in a variety of housing styles and can be transom or thru-hull mounted on the vessel.
PAGE 6
Mounting Options CHIRP Sensors Selecting the mounting location Although it falls outside the scope of this guide to describe all of the details of installation, there are some important points that are true for every transducer installation. Acoustic noise is always present, and these sound waves can interfere with your transducers operation. Ambient (background) noise from sources such as waves, fish and other vessels cannot be controlled.

TruEcho CHIRP TruEcho CHIRP combines the benefits of CHIRP broadband with Furuno’s legendary Digital Signal Processing, along with unique Furuno features like Bottom Discrimination and Accu-Fish. What is CHIRP? CHIRP, or Compressed High Intensity Radar Pulse, has been used by the military, geologists and oceanographers since the 1950’s. It is only recently that this technology has become available for widespread use on personal vessels, and it’s taken the sport fishing world by storm.

Getting the most out of your Fish Finder Multi Sensors - 50/200kHz Furuno offers a wide selection of multi sensors for use with our recreational fish finders. Multi sensors, also referred to as triducers, combine standard 50/200 kHz transducers with speed and temperature functions into a single package. The benefit of having a multi sensor is ease of installation, since there is only one unit to be installed that provides depth, speed and temperature functions.

Transducers - Other frequencies Although the vast majority of fish finders operate at the 50/200kHz, there are many other frequencies available that are utilized almost exclusively in commercial applications. These include 15, 28, 33, 38, 40, 88 and 107kHz. The following is a list of Furuno transducers that operate within these frequencies. Commercial transducers such as these are generally mounted in tanks or sea chests that are custom-built into the ships hull.
