matching with the high luminance 8.4 inch LCD.
The main features of this unit are as follows:
With the digital reception process, the compatibility of the high resolution in a shallow depth and the
noise rejection capability in a deep depth are established. The auto mode function provides the best
image.
The high-performance LCD maintains high visibility under any conditions.
The unit can be installed in an open bridge and is highly waterproof.
Sona-Tone (Sonar sound) function is equipped with for catching situations schools of fish and
others by sound.
Up to 10 images can be stored. If you connect the optional GPS, the fishing hot spot function, that
directs your board to navigate easily to the location desired, is available by marking the event mark
when recalling the stored image.
With the adoption of a specific filter (AR coat), an image can be seen clearly, refusing sunshine.
The countermeasures against the reflection on the LCD screen and dew are provided.
The various alarm functions are available. (Bottom, school of fish, water temperature*, board
speed*, arrival*, XTE*, power) (Note: The mark * denotes that the connection of option is
mandatory)
When flush-mounting, the unit can be easily installed from front side.
The RGB output for an external monitor is provided as standard equipment. The use of the external
monitor enables you to observe easily the echo sounder screen at a location which is remote from a

In case of through-hull equipped transducer, check the surface of opening of transducer (portion form
which the ultra-sonic is emitted). If shells and oil are stuck, scrub the surface with a wooden or bamboo
knife with caution not to damage the surface and remove stuck matters. If you scrub strongly, the
surface will be damaged, resulting in deteriorated performance of transducer.

5.3 Installation of Transducer
The standard installation of this echo sounder is shown in figure 5.6.
Figure 5.6 Installation of Transducer
In case of Inner-hull
Using the optional inner-hull kit (MFB-04), install the transducer to the inner side of ships bottom.
Caution on installation
(1) Select the location where no bubble is
generated during navigation.
(2) Select the relatively thin location of ships
bottom.
(3) Be sure to remove oil on the contact
surface. File the contact surface with sand
paper (#400) so that the adhesive strength will
increase.
(4) The adhered surface will dry in about two
hours.
(5) Leave the unit for a whole day and fill in
the coolant. More than 80 % of the transducer
should be submerged in the coolant.
Figure 5.7 Inner-Hull installation
Caution: Confirm a place of the installation of inner-hull in the manufacturer of the ship
and so on. The inner-hull device is for more effective performance method. The gain
falls in comparison with the through-hull performance dramatically. Low frequency (50
kHz) may not be used due to large signal attenuation. Depth range performance using
200 kHz Transducer in case of inner-hull will also be less about 50% than that of
through-hull.
Caution: In the case of fishing boats, FRP contained air bubbles and foarmed materials
that would prevent ultrasound from penetration have been likely used. Therefore, even
locations that are convenient for installation may be locations where attenuation of
ultrasound is not low enough.
5-6 0093112802-00
In case of through hull

Install the transducer directly to the ships bottom
Installation Procedure
(1) Select the installing location.
(2) Remove the fixing nut and one piece of rubber packing.
(3) If the slope of ships bottom is greater than 5, make a wooden base to fit to the slope of ships
bottom. To reduce the water resistance, cut the bow direction tip of wooden base at the outer side
of ships bottom in the triangle shape.
(4) Make holes at the installing location. If the wooden base is used, make holes in the wooden base.
(5) Thread the rubber packing in the transducer and then the cable.
(6) To prevent water from seeping through the gap between the transducer and the hole, fill out the
gap with FRP or silicon glue. (Glue the wooden base likewise.)
(7) Thread the rubber packing and fix it with the fixing nut firmly.
(8) Connect the transducer cable to the connector of CVS-128 Display unit.
