Colour LCD Dual Freq. Sounder (1/2/3kW) FCV-1150: 12.1

FCV-1150:12.1 " Colour LCD Dual Freq. Sounder (1/2/3kW)

Further to the success of the FCV-1100L that features the innovative "Furuno Free Synthesizer (FFS)" transceiver, Furuno are pleased to introduce the new FCV-1150.
The FCV-1150 incorporates a host of new features that elevates this sounder into a class of its own. Taking FFS to the next level, Furuno has incorporated the advanced Furuno Digital Filtering and daylight viewable (1,100cd) 12.1" high definition SVGA display for the ultimate high power sounder.


Standard Features

Improved display
The FCV-1150 offers the highest level of daylight viewability with a large 12.1", 800(H) x 600(V) SVGA LCD display. The surface of the hardened glass display is covered by an anti-reflective coating and a polarized filter in order to ensure wide viewing angle in harsh conditions. The enhanced graphics board presents full colour images in 64 colours offering bright colour contrasts for enhanced target detection. Furthermore, the LCD and the glass are bonded together ensure fog free operation on open fly-bridge installations.

Auto pulse repetition rate (PRR) adjustment
The FCV-1150 employs a brand-new PRR setting, which is automatically adjusted with reference to depth of the seabed, not the selected range scale. Thanks to this new PRR adjustment, the FCV-1150 has a faster-redraw speed and hence a detailed target and seabed presentation when compared with FCV-1100L.

Post-processing gain/clutter control
With conventional gain controls, changes are made for new echoes only when changes in the setting are applied. With the new gain/clutter control built into the FCV-1150, changes are applied to new echoes as well as all the echoes already on the screen. This feature is very useful when changing settings whilst having the ability to view the history of ground already presented on the displays under the new settings.

FDF - Furuno Digital Filter
The digital processing technology "FDF" that has been successfully introduced in the award winning FCV-585 sounder has also been introduced in the FCVC-1150. The revolutionary digital filter helps adjust gain and STC and improve the range discrimination performance. Thanks to FDF, the FCV-1150 delivers automatic gain control to present precise and crystal clear echo images.

"White edge" function
In addition to white line function, FCV-1150 features "White edge" function. Whilst the white line function changes the colour of the strongest echo to white, the white edge function changes the colour of the strongest echo of seabed only. This function is useful to distinguish the bottom fish from seabed.

Dual range/clutter setting
Range and clutter on low and high frequencies display are set individually. The operator can detect the target fish species on one frequency whilst tuning the sounder on the other frequency to target baitfish, plankton etc.

Adjustable transducer frequency "frequency tuning"
If a FURUNO transducer is used, the operating frequency is automatically set in the menu. The user can shift the operating frequency at any time from the menu. This feature is particularly useful for vessels targeting different species, or when the fish finders of other vessels in the area cause interference. Frequency for most of transducer can be adjustable in +/-10%. However with the FURUNO 82B-35R transducer, the operating frequency may be selectable from 66 to 109 kHz.
