Chapter 1: Operational Overview
This chapter provides the information necessary to get you started using your system,
from how to turn it on and off to how to read the main displays.
Conventions used in this manual

• Dedicated keys are shown in bold face upper case letter; for example, DISP. All
other labelled items, such as the soft controls affiliated with the RotoKey, are shown
in normal typeface.
• The RotoKey mainly functions to access the "soft controls", a revolving menu of soft
controls that gives you instant access to full control of the NavNet®3D system. You
rotate the RotoKey to select a soft control and push it to do the function labelled on
the soft control. For sake of brevity, we write "Use the RotoKey to select [menu item
name or soft control name]..." in cases where you would rotate and then push the
RotoKey to do a procedure.
• The menu system consists of up to 16 menus and accompanying sub menus.
When you are directed to open the General sub menu in the Routes menu, for
example, we write, "Open the Routes-General menu".
• Many operations can be done several ways: by key operation, by context-sensitive
menu (pop-up menu) or RotoKey.
1.1 The NavNet®3D System

The NavNet®3D network is a system where all components share information (navi-
gation data, settings, points, routes, etc.). Each unit in the system displays information
from other units as well as NMEA devices, such as GPS navigator. Information is
shared between MFDs via a high speed Ethernet.
Each MFD has a special "sleep mode" that allows it to process data while consuming
low power. The MFDs can be in three states:
• ON: Regular mode of operation. The screen is on and the user can interact with
the MFD. The MFD can process and share information on the network.
• Sleep Mode: The screen is off and no user interaction is possible (except turning
on the unit with the power switch. Even if the unit seems to be off, it can still pro-
cess and share information with other units on the network. The unit consumes
low current in this state.
• OFF: The unit is completely OFF and doesn’t process information. The unit
doesn't consume any current in this state.
When the first MFD is powered ON (using the power switch), all the other MFD(s) start
in the sleep mode. Using the power switch on an MFD in sleep mode will turn it ON.
Using the power switch on an MFD that is turned ON will put it in Sleep Mode. Using
the power switch on the last MFD ON on the network (all the other are already in Sleep
mode) will turn the system (all the MFDs) completely OFF.
The hub used to join equipment in the network is HUB-101 (optional supply).
1-1
1.2 Operating Controls

The controller for this system is either the Control Unit MCU-001 and/or Display Con-
trol Unit DCU012.
Discrete keys whose key labels have two text labels separated by an underline carry
two functions. The top label is the main function and the bottom label, the secondary
function. You access those functions with a short push and long push (about three
seconds), respectively.
You operate the chart plotter, radar, fish finder, etc. with a combination of
• Discrete keys
• Cursorpad
• Scrollingpad
• RotoKey
• Menus, where you select options
• Pop-up menus, where you select options
• Lists, where you can edit items
When you operate a key a single beep sounds to confirm correct operation. For invalid
operation three beeps sound. If you do not need the key beep you may turn it off, from
the Global-General menu.

1.7 Chart Plotter Overview

The chart plotter display provides a miniature world map in raster format, shown in the
figure below. A vector chart for the US coastline including Alaska and Hawaii is also
provided standard. Detailed chart information for your area is also available. The plot-
ter section has facilities for waypoint entry and route construction and planning.
The chart plotter uses position information fed from position-fixing equipment such as
GPS or DGPS. With position data available, your boat’s position is marked on screen
with a boat icon, the configuration of which can be selected from the menu.
Waypoints and routes you have entered are shown on the display, and they can easily
be moved, deleted and edited from a pop-up menu.
In addition to waypoint and route processing, the chart plotter displays your boat’s
track, measures distances and bearings, marks man overboard (MOB) position, pro-
cess various alarms, follows simple and complex routes, etc.

1.8 Radar Overview

A radar system operates in the microwave part of the radio-frequency (RF) spectrum,
and is used to detect the position and movement of objects. Objects are shown on the
radar display at their measured distances and bearings, in intensities according to
echo strength.
The radar display is available in head-up, course-up and north-up modes and orienta-
tion in true and relative motion. Relative motion shows other ships movement relative
to own ship. True motion shows own ship and other moving objects moving in accor-
dance with their true courses and speed.
Dual VRMs are provided to measure the range to objects, and dual EBLs to measure
the bearing to targets. A guard zone can be created to be alerted to targets in a spe-
cific area. The trail of targets can be shown in afterglow to monitor their movement.
The dual-range display scans and displays two different radar ranges simultaneously,
for watch on both short and long ranges.

1.9 Fish Finder Overview

The fish finder display provides a graphical presentation of the echoes found by the
fish finder. Echoes are scrolled across the screen from right to left over time, providing
a "history" of what has occurred beneath the transducer. The amount of time an echo
is displayed on the screen is controllable with the picture advance speed.
The echoes at the right hand side are the most recent ones. These echoes can be
from individual fish, a fish school, the bottom, shipwreck, etc. Depth to the bottom is
indicated always, provided the gain is correctly set.
Both low and high frequency transmitting frequencies are provided. (Frequencies de-
pend on the transducer connected.) The low frequency, because of its wide detection
area, is well-suited to general detection and judging bottom condition. The high fre-
quency is ideal for detailed observation of fish schools because of its narrow beam.
Your fish finder’s range, gain and clutter can be automatically adjusted according to
your objective, cruising or fishing, freeing you to do other tasks. Auto range is also
available in the manual mode.
The color bar at the left side of the display shows the range of colors used to display
different echo strengths. Weaker echoes are displayed with colors near the bottom of
the scale, and stronger echoes are displayed with colors near the top.

Chapter 2: Chart Plotter
This chapter shows you how to
• Use and set up the chart plotter

• Set chart plotter related alarms
• Manage track
2.1 Charts
2.1.1 Chart Description
A world map in raster chart format is built into your unit. (A vector chart for the US
coastline including Alaska and Hawaii is also provided standard.) To use this chart
plotter as a navigation aid, you may need to have electronic charts (stored in the hard
disk) for the area in which you wish to navigate. Contact your dealer about charts for
your area. For how to manage charts stored in your system, see "13.7 Managing
Charts".
Raster charts are digitized scans of NOAA paper charts. Raster charts are often re-
ferred to as being "simple images". Far from being "simple", official raster charts incor-
porate considerable "meta data" which allows all chart information: notes, source
diagrams, tidal diamonds, horizontal and vertical datums, etc., to be displayed clearly
and quickly.
Vector charts are digital files which contain marine features and information specially
designed for marine navigation and are produced according to the International Hy-
drographic Organization (IHO).
See the next page for a comparison of chart types.
2.1.2 Selecting Chart Type

Push the RotoKey, rotate the RotoKey to select Chart followed by Raster or Vector as
applicable and then push the RotoKey.

2.2 Selecting a Chart Scale

You can change the chart scale to see either more or less detail, or zoom in or out at
specific location. The selected chart scale is indicated at the top left-hand corner on
the screen. In the full screen display, the value shown is 1/2 the distance from the top
of the screen to the bottom of the screen.
There are two ways to change the chart scale: with the RANGE key, and the cursor
and RotoKey.
Chart scale North indicator
Scale reminder
White background: Proper scale
Red background: Unsuitable scale
Method 1: RANGE key

Use the RANGE key to select a chart scale. Each time you operate a RANGE key the
chart scale changes to next available setting. Hit RANGE IN to decrease the chart dis-
tance, and hit RANGE OUT to increase the chart distance. The current chart scale is
shown in the chart scale indication box at the top left corner. The scale advisor icon
helps you select a suitable chart scale. The background of the icon is white if the scale
is suitable, and red if not suitable.
Method 2: Cursorpad and RotoKey

This method provides quick selection of specific ranges between 0.0625 and 120 nm.
Use the Cursorpad to place the cursor on the chart scale indication. Press the right-
click button to show the Range pop-up menu. shown below. Rotate the RotoKey to
select a range and push it to confirm selection

2.3 Selecting an Orientation Mode

The chart can be shown in head-up, course-up or north-up orientation. To select an
orientation mode, use the RotoKey to select the Head Up, North Up or Course Up soft
control as applicable. Alternatively, put the cursor on the orientation mode icon at the
top left hand corner and push the left-click button to show HU (Head-up), NU (North-
up) or CU (Course-up) as applicable.
Orientation mode icon
Description of orientation modes

Head-up: Displays the chart with your boat’s current compass heading upwards.
Heading data from a compass is required. As the heading changes the boat symbol
remains fixed and the chart picture rotates accordingly.
North-up: Chart orientation is fixed with true north upwards. As your heading changes
the boat symbol moves accordingly. This mode is useful for long-range navigation.
Course-up: Chart picture is stabilized and shown with your current course over
ground upwards. As your boat’s course changes, the ship symbol moves accordingly.
If you select a new course, the picture will reset to display the new course upwards.
2.4 Moving the Chart

You will need to move the chart if your vessel moves out of the area currently shown,
you want to take a look at another area, or enter points at another location.
You can move the chart several ways:
• Change the chart scale on zoom in or zoom out at cursor position.

• Use the Scrollingpad to pan the chart.
• Manual re-center your vessel with the SHIP/3D button or automatically re-center it
with the Auto Shift soft control.
• Get a simple aerial view 3D display by long-pushing the SHIP/3D button, or get a
simple or advanced aerial view or underwater view 3D display with the RotoKey.

2.5 The Boat Icon

The boat icon is placed at current position. Its default configuration is "sport fisher",
however several other configurations, such as yacht and sailboat, also are available,
from the menu. In addition to marking current position, it has the following functions:
• The Heading line is a straight line extending from your position and it shows cur-
rent heading.
• The COG/SOG predictor is a vector extending from the boat icon that shows esti-
mated course and speed of your boat. The tip of the predictor shows estimated
position of your boat after the selected predictor time (settable from the menu)
elapses. It can be useful to extend the predictor to predict your boat’s location in the
future, on the current course and speed.
• The Direction of turn indicator points in the direction in which your boat is turning.
• The Track traces your boat’s path, using GPS position data fed from a GPS naviga-
tor.

Chapter 3: 3D Display, Overlays
3.1 3D Display
The 3D display incorporates native 3D chart architecture that allows full time three-di-
mensional presentation. With NavNet®3D’s true 3D environment, you can see all of
the information you want with no limitations on what information you wish to view. You
can plan your routes, enter points, etc. the same as on the 2D chart.
The 3D display provides a three-dimensional view of land and sea around your boat.
Land is shown in various shades of beige according to height above the sea level. Wa-
ter is shown in various shades of blue according to depth. The 3D display shares much
of the same information with the 2D display, so you can get a better idea of what’s hap-
pening around your boat. This is especially useful when you are in unfamiliar waters.
Also, most functions of the 2D display, for example, destination setting, are available
in the 3D display.
For best results be sure you are receiving accurate position and heading data.
3.1.1 Aerial View

The aerial view is the view you get anytime you enable the 3D display. This display
shows an aerial view of the 3D chart, with you above and behind your boat looking in
the forward direction. The illustration provides an example of how you can vary the ori-
entation of the aerial view display, with a view from the port side of the boat.

Chapter 4: Points
4.1 About Points

In navigation terminology, a point is a particular location on a voyage whether it be a
starting, intermediate or destination point. A point is the simplest piece of information
your equipment requires to get you to a destination, in the shortest distance possible.
You can use points to mark good fishing spots, reference points, origin point, etc.
This unit has 2,000 points into which you can enter position information. There are
several ways you can place a point:
• At own ship position

• At cursor position
• From the Points list
When you enter a point it is placed on the screen with the default point symbol and the
youngest empty point number. Its position, symbol, navigation information (range,
bearing, etc.) are saved to the Points list. In the default set up all points are displayed
on the screen.
Default point symbol
(black circle in red square)
Point number PT-0001

When it is necessary to edit a point you can select it directly on the screen, or go to
the Points list and select it there. You can change the symbol and its color, change
position, etc.

Chapter 5: Routes
5.1 What is a Route?

Often a trip from one place to another involves several course changes, requiring a
series of route points (up to 100) which you navigate to, one after another. The se-
quence of points leading to the ultimate destination is called a route. The route data-
base stores 200 routes.
You create a route by pointing and clicking geographical positions on the screen.
These positions are marked blue solid circles.
Once you have created a route you can follow it, using the GOTO feature. When you

Chapter 6: Radar
This chapter provides the information necessary for radar operation. A few of the top-
ics included are how to
• Adjust gain
• Suppress sea and rain clutter
• Measure range and bearing
• Suppress interference
• Stretch echoes
• Set a guard zone
• Interpret the radar display
6.1 Transmitting, Stand-by

When the power switch is turned on, the magnetron, the device in the antenna unit
which transmits radar pulses, starts warming up. Warm-up takes about 1:30 (3:00 for
DRS25A), and the timer at the center of the display counts down the time remaining
for warming up. When the countdown reaches zero (0:00), "Standby" appears at the
screen center, indicating the radar is now ready for operation. To transmit, long-push
the GAIN/TX key. (This can also be done with Tx soft control and Tx in the Radar pop-
up menu.)
When you won’t need the radar for a long period, it is a good idea to set it in standby
to conserve the magnetron. Long-push the GAIN/TX key to toggle between transmit
and stand-by.
6-1
Chapter 6: Radar
6.2 Adjusting the Gain

The GAIN/TX key adjusts the gain (sensitivity) of the radar receiver. It works in a man-
ner similar to that of volume control of a broadcast receiver, which amplifies received
signals.
The proper setting is such that the background noise is just visible on the screen. If
your gain setting is too low, weak echoes may be missed. On the other hand, exces-
sive gain yields too much background noise; strong targets may be missed because
of the poor contrast between desired echoes and the background noise on the display.
The gain and sea adjustment method is mutually switched between automatic and
manual. For example, when gain is selected to automatic adjustment so is sea.
Gain can be adjusted manually or automatically as below.
Manual adjustment
1. Press the GAIN/TX key to show the Gain/
Sea/Rain adjustment window.
2. Gain is selected; rotate the RotoKey to
adjust the gain level. The length of the bar
increases or decreases with rotation of the
RotoKey.
3. Push the RotoKey to confirm the setting and close the window.
Automatic adjustment
2. Gain is selected; rotate the RotoKey coun-
terclockwise until "Auto" appears in the bar.
The Gain "A" icon is colored green when automatic gain is active.
Note 1: Alternatively, you can show the Gain/Sea/Rain adjustment window by placing
the cursor near the window’s location. Then, use the cursor to select Gain, push the
left-click button and rotate the RotoKey to adjust.
Note 2: The Gain/Sea/Rain pop-up allows you to switch between automatic and man-
ual gain adjustment alternately:
1. Show the Gain/Sea/Rain adjustment window.
2. Push the right-click button to show the Gain/Sea/
Rain pop-up menu, shown right.
3. Rotate the RotoKey to select Auto Gain and push it
to enable and disable Auto Gain alternately.

6.3 Suppressing Sea Clutter

Echoes from waves can be troublesome, covering the central part of the display with
random signals known as "sea clutter". The higher the waves and the higher the an-
tenna above the water, the further the clutter will extend. Sea clutter may affect radar
performance because real targets are sometimes hidden by the echoes of small
waves. (See the left-hand figure in the figure below.) When sea clutter masks the pic-
ture, adjust the Sea control to reduce the clutter.

6.4 Suppressing Rain Clutter.

The vertical beamwidth of the antenna is designed to see surface targets even when
the ship is rolling. However, by this design the unit will also detect rain clutter (rain,
snow, hail, etc.). in the same manner as normal targets. Rain clutter shows as random
dots on the screen.
When echoes from precipitation mask solid targets, adjust the Rain control to split up
these unwanted echoes into a speckled pattern, making recognition of solid targets
easier.
Rain clutter can be adjusted manually or automatically as below.

6.7 Measuring the Range

You can measure the range to a radar target three ways: by the range rings, by the
cursor, and by the Variable Range Marker (VRM).
Use the fixed range rings to obtain a rough estimate of the range to a target. They are
the concentric solid circles about own ship, or the sweep origin. The number of rings
is automatically determined by the selected range scale and their interval is displayed
at the upper-left position of the screen. Count the number of rings between the center
of the display and the target. Check the range ring interval and judge the distance of
the echo from the inner edge of the nearest ring.
6.7.1 Displaying the Range Rings

If the rings are not displayed, push the right-click button to show the Radar pop-up
menu. Use the RotoKey to select Rings and push it to alternately turn the rings on and
off.
6.7.2 Measuring Range with a VRM

There are two VRMs, No. 1 and No. 2, which appear as dashed rings so that you can
discriminate them from the fixed range rings. The two VRMs can be distinguished from
each other by different lengths of dashes. The dashes of the No. 1 VRM are shorter
than those of the No. 2 VRM.
To measure the range to a target with a VRM

1. Push the RotoKey to show the soft controls. (In the default arrangement, a short
and long push enables access to VRM1 and VRM1/VRM2, respectively.)
2. Use the RotoKey to select VRM followed by VRM1 or VRM2 as appropriate to
show the VRM box. The indication of the selected VRM is highlighted in green in
the box.
3. Rotate the RotoKey (or use the Cursorpad) to place the VRM on the inner edge of
the target. Read the range to the target at the VRM box. Distances shorter than
0.500 nm are shown in yards (default arrangement).
4. Push the RotoKey to finish. The VRM is then anchored at the range selected.

6.8 Measuring Bearing

The Electronic Bearing Line (EBL) measures the bearing to radar targets.
6.8.1 Measuring Bearing with an EBL

There are two EBLs, No. 1 and No. 2. Each EBL is a straight dashed line extending
from the own ship position to the edge of the screen. The dashes of the No. 1 EBL are
shorter than those of the No. 2 EBL.
The control box for the EBLs is hidden unless a EBL is active or the cursor is placed
at the control box location.

Own ship position, or sweep origin, can off-centered to expand the view field without
switching to a larger range scale. The sweep origin can be off-centered in the bow,
stern, port or starboard direction, but not more than 75% of the range in use.
To off-center the radar picture, operate the Scrollingpad. To return own ship to screen
center, press the SHIP/3D button.

6.10 Heading Line

The heading line indicates the ship's heading in all orientation modes. It is a line from
the own ship position to the outer edge of the radar display area and appears at zero
degrees on the bearing scale in head-up mode; it changes its orientation in the north-
up, course-up and true motion modes with ship's movement.
To show or hide the heading line:
1. Put the cursor somewhere not occupied by a context-sensitive item and push the
right-click button. The Radar pop-up menu appears.
2. Use the RotoKey to select Hdg Ln Off and push it to hide and show the heading
line alternately.

6.11 Reducing Radar Interference

Radar interference may occur when near another shipborne radar that is operating in
the same frequency band as your radar. Its on-screen appearance looks like many
bright dots either scattered at random or in the form of dotted lines extending from the
center to the edge of the display. Interference effects are distinguishable from normal
echoes because they do not appear in the same place on successive rotations of the
antenna.
Be sure to turn off the interference rejector when no interference exists - weak targets
may be missed.
To use the interference rejector:

2. Use the RotoKey to select Filters followed by Int Reject.
3. Push the RotoKey to alternately turn the interference rejector on and off.

6.15 Echo Stretch

Normally, the reflected echoes from long range targets appear on the display as weak-
er and smaller blips even though they are compensated by the radar's internal circuit-
ry. The echo stretch function magnifies these small blips in all ranges.
This function magnifies not only targets but also sea clutter and radar interference. For
this reason, be sure sea clutter and radar interference are properly suppressed before
activating the echo stretch.
To turn the echo stretch on or off:

2. Use the RotoKey to select Filters.
3. Use the RotoKey to select Stretch and push it to alternately enable and disable the
echo stretch.
6.16 Automatic Shift

Own ship position, or sweep origin, can be displaced automatically to expand the view
field without switching to a larger scale.
The amount of automatic shift is calculated according to ship's speed, and the amount
of shift is limited to 50% of the range in use. For example, if you set the auto shift
speed for 15 knots and the ship is running at 10 knots, the amount of shift will be about
34%. The formula for determining auto shift amount is as shown below. Automatic shift
is only available in the head-up mode.

6.23 Dual Range Display

The dual range display scans and displays two different radar ranges simultaneously
with no time lag, with independent control of each picture. This is useful when, for ex-
ample, you need to keep a close watch on short range navigation but also want to look
for birds on the water (sign of presence of fish school) on a long range.
The radar functions that can be adjusted independently are as follows:
• Active route (show/hide)

• Auto shift
• Echo stretch
• Echo trail (enable/disable))
• Gain
• Heading line (show/hide)
• Motion mode (true, relative)
• Orientation mode (course-up, head-up, north-up)
• Rain (rain clutter)
• Range
• Range rings (show/hide)
• Sea (sea clutter)
• Tuning (manual)
To get the dual radar display, set up for dual radar screens, by referring to “13.3 Set-
ting up the Display Selection Window” on page 13-8. You can arrange the displays in
two-way, three-way or four-way split screens.

6.24 Interpreting the Radar Display

6.24.1 False Echoes
Occasionally echo signals appear on the screen at positions where there is no target
or disappear even if there are targets. False target situations may be recognized, how-
ever, if you understand why they are displayed. Typical false echoes are shown below.
Multiple echoes
Multiple echoes occur when a transmitted pulse returns from a solid object like a large
ship, bridge, or breakwater. A second, a third or more echoes may be observed on the
display at double, triple or other multiples of the actual range of the target as shown
below. Multiple reflection echoes can be reduced and often removed by decreasing
the gain (sensitivity) or properly adjusting the Sea control.

Virtual image
A relatively large target close to your ship may show at two positions on the screen.
One of them is the true echo directly reflected by the target and the other is a false
echo which is caused by the mirror effect of a large object on or close to your ship as
shown in the figure below. If your ship comes close to a large metal bridge, for exam-
ple, such a false echo may temporarily be seen on the screen.

Shadow sector
Funnels, stacks, masts, or derricks in the path of the antenna block the radar beam. If
the angle subtended at the antenna is more than a few degrees, a non-detecting sec-
tor or blind spot may be produced. Within this sector, targets can not be detected.

Sidelobe echoes
Every time the radar pulse is transmitted, some radiation escapes on each side of the
beam, called "sidelobes." If a target exists where it can be detected by the sidelobes
as well as the main lobe, the side echoes may be represented on both sides of the true
echo at the same range. Side lobes show usually only on short ranges and from strong
targets. They can be reduced through careful reduction of the gain or proper adjust-
ment of the Sea control.

Chapter 6: Radar
6.24.2 Search and Rescue Transponder (SART)

A SART may be triggered by any X-Band (3 cm) radar within a range of approximately
8 nm. Each radar pulse received causes it to transmit a response which is swept re-
petitively across the complete radar frequency band. When interrogated, it first
sweeps rapidly (0.4 ms) through the band before beginning a relatively slow sweep
(7.5 ms) through the band back to the starting frequency. This process is repeated for
a total of twelve complete cycles. At some point in each sweep, the SART frequency
will match that of the interrogating radar and be within the pass band of the radar re-
ceiver. If the SART is within range, the frequency match during each of the 12 slow
sweeps will produce a response on the radar display, thus a line of 12 dots equally
spaced by about 0.64 nautical miles will be shown.
When the range to the SART is reduced to about 1 nm, the radar display may show
also the 12 responses generated during the fast sweeps. These additional dot re-
sponses, which also are equally spaced by 0.64 nm, will be interspersed with the orig-
inal line of 12 dots. They will appear slightly weaker and smaller than the original dots.

6.24.3 Racon (Radar Beacon)

A racon is a radar transponder which emits a
characteristic signal when triggered by a
ship's radar (usually only the 3 centimeter
band). The signal may be emitted on the same
frequency as that of the triggering radar, in
which case it is superimposed on the ship's ra-
dar display automatically.
The racon signal appears on the radar as a ra-

dial line originating at a point just beyond the
position of the radar beacon or as a Morse
code signal (see figure below) displayed radi-
ally from just beyond the beacon.
6.25 ARPA Operation

The ARPA (Automatic Radar Plotting Aid) tracks the movement of up to 30 radar tar-
gets. Targets can be acquired manually or automatically. All 30 targets can be ac-
quired manually when the ARPA acquisition area is inactive. With the acquisition area
enabled, that total is equally divided between manual and auto acquisition.
ARPA requires speed and heading data. The symbols used in this radar comply with
IEC 60872-1.

6.25.6 CPA/TCPA Alarm

The CPA/TCPA alarm is useful for alerting you to possible collision situations. With the
alarm active, the ARPA continuously monitors the predicted range at the Closest Point
of Approach (CPA) and predicted time to CPA (TCPA) of each tracked target to own
ship. When the predicted CPA of any target becomes smaller than a preset CPA alarm
range and its predicted TCPA less than a preset TCPA alarm limit, the buzzer sounds
and an appropriate text message appears. In addition, the ARPA symbol changes to
a (red) triangle.
Provided that this feature is used correctly, it will help prevent the risk of collision by
alerting you to threatening targets. However, it is important that gain, sea and rain con-
trols are properly adjusted.
CPA/TCPA alarm ranges must be set up properly taking into consideration the size,
tonnage, speed, turning performance and other characteristics of own ship.

Chapter 7: Fish Finder
With connection of an external fish finder (ETR-6/10, ETR-30, DFF series), images of
underwater objects, such as fish, can be shown on the display. This chapter acquaints
you with the functions of the fish finder, from the various displays to how to fine tune
the fish finder image. Topics include
• Display selection
• Automatic and manual operation
• Frequency selection
• Picture advancement speed
• Interference rejection
• Measuring range with the VRM
7.1 How the Fish Finder Works

The fish finder determines the distance between its transducer and underwater ob-
jects such as fish, lake bottom or seabed and displays the results in different colors or
shades gray according to echo strength.
Ultrasonic waves transmitted through water travel at a nearly constant speed of 4800
feet (1500 meters) per second. When a sound wave strikes an underwater object such
as fish or sea bottom, part of the sound wave is reflected back toward the source. Thus
by calculating the time difference between the transmission of a sound wave and the
reception of the reflected sound wave, the depth to the object can be determined.
The picture displayed by the fish finder is made up of a series of vertical scan lines,
one for each transmission. Each line represents a "snapshot" of what has occurred be-
neath the boat. The series of snapshots are accumulated side by side across the
screen, and the resulting contours of the bottom and fish between the bottom and sur-
face are displayed. The amount of history of objects that have passed beneath the
boat over a series of transmission varies from less than a minute to a few minutes,
depending on how you adjust the unit.

7.2 Selecting a Display

There are six display modes from which to select: dual frequency, single frequency,
marker zoom, bottom zoom, bottom lock, and A-scope.
7.2.1 Single Frequency Display

The single frequency display shows either the low frequency or high frequency picture
over the entire screen. In deciding which frequency to select keep the following points
in mind:
• The lower the frequency of the ultrasonic pulse, the wider the detection area.
Therefore the low frequency is useful for general detection and judging bottom con-
ditions
• The higher the frequency of the ultrasonic pulse, the better the resolution, thus the
high frequency is ideal for detailed observation of fish schools.

7.3 Automatic Fish Finder Operation

Automatic fish finder operation is useful when you are preoccupied with other tasks
and do not have the time to adjust the display.
7.3.1 How the Automatic Fish Finder Works

The automatic fish finder function automatically selects the proper gain, range scale
(DFF only) and clutter suppression level according to the depth. It works as follows:
• The range changes automatically to locate the bottom on the lower half of the
screen. The range jumps to one step shallower range when the bottom echoes
reach a half way point of the full scale from the top and to one step deeper range
when they come to the lower edge of the scale.
• The gain is automatically adjusted to display the bottom echo in reddish brown
(default color arrangement).
• Clutter, which suppresses low level noise, is automatically adjusted.
7.3.2 Selecting an Automatic Fish Finder Mode

Two types of automatic fish finder modes are available: Cruising and Fishing. Cruising
is for tracking the bottom, and Fishing is for searching fish schools. Cruising uses a
higher clutter rejection setting than Fishing therefore it is not recommended for fish de-
tection - weak fish echoes may be erased by the clutter suppression circuit.
To select an automatic fish finder mode:
1. Push the RotoKey.

2. Use the RotoKey to select Auto followed by Fishing or Cruising as appropriate.
7-7
7.4 Manual Fish Finder Operation

Manual operation is useful for observing fish schools and bottom using a fixed gain
setting.
The gain, range and range shift functions used together give you the means to select
the depth you can see on the screen. The basic range can be thought of as providing
a "window" into the water column and range shifting as moving the "window" to the
desired depth.
7.4.1 Selecting the Manual Mode

Use the RotoKey to select Auto followed by Off.
7.4.2 Selecting a Display Range

Selecting Automatic or Manual Range Selection
2. Select Auto Range and push the RotoKey to enable and disable automatic range
selection alternately.

dow" to the desired depth. This function is
inoperative when the Auto range mode is active.
The basic range may be shifted up or down with

S or T on the Scrollingpad.
Display
7.4.4 Adjusting the Gain

The gain determines how echoes of different strengths are displayed. Normally, set
the gain to the point where excessive noise does not appear on the screen. Use a
higher gain setting for greater depths and a lower setting for shallow waters.
Gain too high Gain proper Gain too low
7-8
Press the GAIN/TX key to show the gain window. Gain HF is selected. To adjust the
low frequency, push the key again to select Gain LF. Rotate the RotoKey to adjust the
gain and then push it to set. Current level is shown on the bar, and the setting range
is 0-100(%).
7.4.5 Rejecting Clutter

Low intensity "speckles" may appear over most of screen. This is mainly due to sedi-
ment in the water or noise. These can be suppressed by adjusting Clutter on the Fish
Finder menu.

2. Open the Fish Finder-DFF (or ETR) menu as applicable.
3. Use the RotoKey to select Clutter.

7.5 Picture Advance Speed

The picture advance speed determines how quickly the vertical scan lines run across
the screen. When choosing a picture advance speed, keep in mind that a fast advance
speed will expand the size of the fish school horizontally on the screen and a slow ad-
vance speed will contract it. A fast advance speed is useful for observing the rugged
bottom minutely. A slow advance speed is useful for observing the smooth bottom.
Fast Slow

3. Use the RotoKey to select Picture Advance.
4. Use the RotoKey to select a picture advance speed. The fractions in the window
indicate the number of scan lines produced per transmission. For example, "1/2"
produces once scan line per two transmissions. 1/16 is the slowest advancement
speed and 4/1 the fastest. "Stop" freezes the picture, and is useful for taking a
photo of the screen.
7-10
7.6 Rejecting Interference

Interference from other fish finders and electrical interference may show itself on the
screen as in the illustration below. When interference is present, you can reject it with
the interference rejector. Four levels are available including off. Turn off the noise lim-
iter when no interference exists, so as not to eliminate weak echoes.

7.7 Measuring Depth, Elapsed Time

You can measure the depth to a fish school or bottom with the VRM. Further, you can
also measure elapsed time from the right edge. For example, you can measure how
many minutes before the current time a fish echo appeared.
To measure depth, elapsed time, operate the Cursorpad to place the VRM on the ob-
ject for which you want to measure depth, elapsed time. Read the depth below the
VRM and the elapsed time at the top of the screen.
Note that the VRM is inoperative when the Gain adjustment window is active.

3. Use the RotoKey to select Color Erase.
4. Rotate the RotoKey to select the percentage of colors to erase and then push the
RotoKey to confirm setting. Select a low percentage to erase weak echoes. Raise
the percentage to erase strong echoes.
7-13
7.9 Equalizing Echoes

A fish school at a deep depth is displayed in weak colors even if it is equal in strength
to one in shallow waters. This is due to propagation attenuation of the ultrasonic wave.
To compensate for this difference, use TVG. TVG automatically adjusts the gain with
depth so that echoes of the same strength and different depths are shown in the same
colors regardless of their depths. The gain is increased with depth to display echoes
of equal strengths in the same colors. In the figure below, for example, the TVG is set
for 100 m and the TVG level is adjusted. Then, unwanted echoes at a distance less
than 100 m are deleted and echoes at depths greater than 100 m are not affected.
0m 0m
100 100

3. Select TVG HF (high frequency) or TVG LF (low frequency) as appropriate and
push the RotoKey.
4. Rotate the RotoKey to adjust the level. The higher the level the less the gain at
near distance.
7-14
7.10 White Marker

The white marker displays the chosen echo color in white. This can be useful for dis-
tinguishing bottom fish from the bottom echo.

3. Use the RotoKey to select White Marker.
4. Use the RotoKey to select the echo color to display in white. Color 8 is the stron-
gest color.
7.11 Fish Alarms

There are two types of fish alarms which release audio and visual alarms to inform you
to the presence of fish in a specific area: fish alarm and bottom lock fish alarm.
The fish alarm tells you when an echo above a certain strength (selectable) is within
the preset alarm range or on the screen.
The bottom lock fish alarm informs you when fish are within a certain distance from
the bottom. Note that the bottom lock display must be active in order to use this alarm.

7.12 ACCU-FISH
The ACCU-FISH feature, which requires a DFF network fish finder, estimates fish
length, displaying an appropriately sized fish symbol together with depth value or fish
length. The information presented by this feature is only intended for reference pur-
poses; it is not a completely accurate measurement of fish length.
Both high and low frequencies returning at the center of the transducer beam are used
to calculate fish length. Fish to be used for size calculation are taken from the high fre-
quency beam and their size is calculated from their strength found with the low fre-
quency beam. In the example below, the fish at the center of the figure are used to
calculate length.
Low frequency
High frequency
Considerations for ACCU-FISH

• Echo intensity depends on fish specie. If the indicated value is different from the
actual fish, you can compensate for this on the Fish Finder-DFF menu.
• When Fish Symbols or Fish Info are enabled, 50 kHz and 200 kHz beams are
transmitted alternately, even if a single frequency mode is in use.
• To reduce error, the detection area should be 2 to 100 meters from the surface.
• With the inside-hull transducer, signal attenuation is different between 50 kHz and
200 kHz. Therefore, a fish may not be detected or the fish length indicated may be
smaller than actual length.
• In case of a fish school, echoes overlap one another, so the margin of error will be
greater.
• The fish symbol indication is not shown when the bottom is not displayed on the
screen.
7.12.1 Setting up ACCU-FISH

2. Open the Fish Finder-DFF menu as applicable.

plays. The available range is 7-400 (ft).
Bottom Lock Range Span: Set the bottom lock range for the bottom lock display. The
available range is 7-400 (ft).
Transmit Rate: Change pulse repetition rate, in 20 levels and Auto*. Normally, the
highest rate (20) is used. When in shallow waters second reflection echoes may ap-
pear between surface and actual bottom echo. In this case, lower the Tx rate level.
* DFF series only.
7-21
DFF
Heaving: If this MFD is interfaced with a FURUNO satellite compass and network fish
finder DFF1 or DFF3, you can compensate for the effects of heaving by turning on
Heaving. When the boat is in rough seas, the bottom echo and fish echoes are dis-
played unstably because the distance to the bottom changes often. The satellite com-
pass outputs pitch and roll data to compensate the fish finder’s Tx and Rx beams,
providing a stable picture.
7.15 Interpreting the Display

Color bar
The color bar shows the relation between echo intensity and echo color on the screen.
The top color (reddish brown) is the strongest color and the lower colors the weakest.
The bar can be used as a reference to estimate density of a fish school, fish species
and hardness of the bottom. The background color can be selected on the menu
screen.

Bottom echoes
Bottom echoes are normally strongest and displayed in reddish brown or red, but col-
ors and width will vary with bottom material, depth, sea condition, installation, frequen-
cy, pulse length and sensitivity.
Bottom profile
A hard and rough bottom appears with a longer tail because it reflects more of the ul-
trasonic pulse. Because of their stronger return, shallow echoes appear wider than
deep ones even when all bottom conditions are equal. Also, a longer bottom tail ap-
pears on slopes because of the difference in traveling time at both edges of the beam
angle. In the rugged bottom, echoes are reflected on many different planes, overlap-
ping to present a 3D effect.
Rugged
Color difference bottom

Bottom nature
The nature of the bottom is known from the intensity and length of the bottom tail. Gen-
erally, when observing the bottom nature, the lower sounding frequency is used, the
pulse length is set to long, and the gain setting is not disturbed. In the hard and craggy
bottom, the bottom appears in reddish brown with a long tail. In the muddy or sandy
bottom, the bottom appears less reddish and with a short tail. However, the bottom
with sediment may give a long tail if a low frequency sounding is used.
Rock base
Mud & sand
Fish quantity
Fish quantity can be estimated to a certain extent from fish echoes on the screen if
fish school size and fish school density are kept in mind.
7-23
Fish school size

Usually the size of fish echoes on the screen is proportional to the actual size of the
fish school. However, if two fish echoes appear at different depths with the same size,
the fish school at shallower depth is smaller because the ultrasonic beam widens as
it propagates and a fish school in deep water is displayed larger.

Fish school density

If two schools appear with the same color at different depth, the one in deeper water
is denser because the ultrasonic wave attenuates as it propagates and the fish school
in deep water tends to be displayed in a weaker color.

Chapter 12: Automatic Identification
System (AIS)
12.1 AIS Overview

An AIS transponder (optional) uses VHF frequencies, and broadcasts your own ves-
sel's position, name, callsign, along with detailed parameters like length, beam, draft,
and tonnage. It also broadcasts details of the current navigation system: speed,
course, rate of turn, destination, and ETA. The transponder receives this same infor-
mation from other ships, and displays it on radar and chart plotter displays. The posi-
tions and intentions of nearby vessels are available to you unambiguously and in real
time.
12.2 Enabling, Disabling AIS

1. On the radar display or chart plotter display, push the RotoKey to show the soft
controls. (In the default setting, long push to show the soft controls.)
2. Use the RotoKey to select Targets.
3. Use the RotoKey to select AIS and push it to alternately turn the AIS function on
and off.
12.3 AIS Target Symbols

Symbol Target type Color Description
AIS target Blue COG is shown with a solid line and arrow.
COG
Dangerous AIS Red An AIS target whose CPA and TCPA put it on a colli-
target sion course with own ship.
Lost AIS target Blue If no signal is received from an AIS target for x*
minutes it is declared a lost target. If no signal is
received for another x* minutes the lost target
symbol is erased.
* The time depends on the AIS transponder used. For

the FA-150 it is 10 minutes. Check your AIS tran-
sponder’s operator’s manual for information about
lost targets.

target is within the distance you set here.

2. Open the Alarm-Targets menu.
3. Use the RotoKey to select Proximity AIS Target Alarm and push it to turn the alarm
on (status icon colored green).
4. Use the RotoKey to set the alarm value at Proximity AIS Target Alarm Value.

12.5 Ignoring AIS Targets

In the default setting, all AIS targets within 12 nm from your boat are shown on the
display. If the screen becomes cluttered with AIS targets, you may wish to remove
some of them from the display by specifying a different display range.
Slow-moving targets within the AIS proximity alarm range will cause frequent trigger-
ing of the AIS proximity alarm. You may wish to prevent this by ignoring targets within
the alarm range that are slower than a threshold value.

2. Open the Targets menu.
3. Use the RotoKey to select Ignore AIS Targets Father Than.... This item removes
targets from the display whose distances from own ship are greater than the
threshold value.
4. Use the RotoKey to select desired range.

5. Select Ignore AIS Targets Slower Than.... This item prevents triggering of the AIS
proximity alarm against AIS targets whose speeds are slower than the threshold
value set here.
6. Use the RotoKey to set desired speed. The setting range is 0.0 - 9.9 (kts).

13.5.2 System-Calibration Menu

The System-Calibration menu mainly lets you enter offsets for external sensors
(speed, wind, temperature) to show true values on the display.
Draft: In the default setting the fish finder shows the depth from the transducer. If you
would rather get depth from the surface, set your ship’s draft here. The setting range
is 99.9 to +99.9 (ft).
Speed Through Water: Add an offset to measured speed if it is wrong. For example,
if the speed indication is 10 kt and actual speed is 11 kt, enter +10%. The setting range
is -50 to +50 (%).
Sea Surface Temperature: Add an offset to measured sea surface temperature if it

is wrong. For example, if the measured temperature is 60 degrees and the actual tem-
perature is 54 degrees, enter -10. The setting range is -99.9 to +99.9 (degrees Fahr-
enheit).
Wind Damping Time: Set wind damping time. The setting range is 0-99 (seconds).
Wind Speed Calibration: Apply an offset to measured wind speed if it is wrong. The
range of offset is -50 to +50.
Wind Direction Offset: Add a wind direction offset to measured wind direction if it is
wrong.
Water Type: Select the type of water the vessel is used in, saltwater or freshwater.
13-15
13.5.3 System-Radar Menu

The System-Radar menu has facilities for manual tuning, tx sector blanking (area of
no transmission) creation and pulse length selection.
Manual Tuning: If you require manual tuning, do the following:
1. Use the RANGE key to select the 24-mile range.

3. Open the System-Radar menu.
4. Turn off Auto Tuning.
5. At the menu item Tuning, select Range 1 (range 1 in dual range mode) or Range 2
(range 2 in dual mode) as applicable and push the RotoKey.
6. Use the RotoKey to select Manual Tuning and push the RotoKey.
7. Rotate the RotoKey to adjust the tuning. The range is -50 to +50(%).
8. Push the RotoKey to confirm the setting.
Tx Sector Blanking #1(#2) Start Angle: It may be necessary to prevent the radar
from transmitting within a certain sector. For example, you would want to mark a blind
sector on the display for the area where transmission is blocked by a mast. This is usu-
ally done by the installer of the equipment.
Two sectors may be set. One sector should be less than 135 degrees in width and the
total width of two sectors should not exceed 270 degrees.
Tx Sector Blanking #1(#2) Span: Set the width of the blind sector (in degrees) here.

Transmission: Turn transmission on/off. Leave on normally.
Transmission Power: Interference may appear on the screen when a fish finder hav-
ing the same frequency as your own is being operated in the vicinity of your vessel. In
this case, lower your Tx power and contact the vessel to request them to reduce their
Tx power. Tx power is available in Off, Min, 1-10. The higher the value the more the
Tx power.
Gain Adjust HF (LF): If the gain is too high or low in the automatic gain mode, or there
is a difference in the gain between the low and high frequencies, you can compensate
for it here.
Auto Gain Offset HF (LF): If the auto gain offset is too high or too low in spite of ad-
justment with auto gain offset, or there is a difference in the gain between the low and
high frequencies, you can compensate for it here.
Bottom Level HF (LF): In the default bottom level setting (0), the equipment judges
consecutive strong echoes to be bottom echoes. If, in that setting, the depth indication
is unstable, adjust the bottom level. If vertical lines extend upward from the bottom
echo in the bottom lock display, lower the bottom level to erase the vertical lines. If the
level is too low, however, it may be difficult to distinguish bottom fish from the bottom
echo.
13-17
External KP: Turn on to sync with external keying pulse.
Stc HF (LF): Delete unwanted echoes (plankton, air bubbles, etc.) near the surface.
This is useful to clear the surface of unwanted echoes to look for surface fish. The set-
ting range is 0-10, and 0 is Off. The larger the value the more surface echoes are
erased. In setting 10, STC deletes unwanted echoes from the surface to about 16 ft.
Avoid setting the STC too high; fish echoes near the surface may be erased.
Frequency Adjust HF (LF): The frequency of the high and low frequency transducer
can be adjusted. This is useful when there is another fish finder nearby and it is oper-
ating at the same frequency as your own, causing interference. In this case, you can
shift the frequency of your transducer by a few percentage points to remove the inter-
ference.
