Multi - direction detection
The FCV-30 is a high-performance echo sounder designed
for variety of fishing applications. This echo sounder employs
two new innovate techniques. One is “Multi-Beam” that
facilitates multi directional and long-range fish detection.
The other is “Split-Beam” which is commonly used in fish
resource surveys. FURUNO’s leading-edge signal
processing technology makes the FCV-30 unparalleled in
this class of sounder.
The FCV-30 provides a wide variety of presentation modes
in high resolution SXGA or commonly used XGA resolution:
Multi-Beam, Split-Beam, Zoom, and A-scope. Multi-Beam
mode allows transmission in up to five directions
simultaneously to show the location and distribution of
a fish school around the vessel. The direction and tilt of each
beam can be determined by the setting. This also helps
understand the bottom composition, undulation and slope,
allowing the operator to make an accurate judgment of best
speed and course to trawl.
In the Split-beam mode, the FCV-30 has the unique functions
called “Fish size assessment” and “Fish distribution”.
The former indicates the length of the target fish in the fish
school by histogram. The later displays where the target fish
is in the detected area and plots the detected fish’s position.
The FCV-30 is of BlackBox configuration, consisting of
a control, processor, transceiver units and a transducer.
The control unit
consists only of a trackball,
thumbwheel and several soft
keys. Designed for use in
commercial fishing FURUNO LCD
MU-190HD (19'', SXGA), MU-150HD (15'', XGA)
or a PC monitor can be utilized as a display unit.
Furthermore, any two monitors can work in a dual display setup.
The transducer employs highly sensitive transducer elements
to achieve efficient energy conversion, which ensures long
range detection with minimal output. This 38 kHz transducer
features a narrow beamwidth (7°), which enables the detection
of the shapes of fish, fish schools and fish distribution in
minute detail.
With a built-in motion sensor, the beam stabilizer can be
facilitated to eliminate the loss of important targets due to
the ship’s motion in rough seas. All beams are maintained at
required tilt by compensating for ship’s pitch and roll.
FURUNO GPS satellite compass SC-50/110 detect ship’s
heave as well as pitch and roll. The satellite compass
improves the echo presentation by compensating for echo
ruffling caused by ship’s heave. This gives an unwavering
presentation of the echo images even in rough seas, and
enhances the accuracy of the measurement for the fish size
assessment display.
