Although the design of the equipment has been made in due consideration of measures to insure the operator's safety, adequate precaution wust be exercised when reaching inside the equipment for the purpose of maintenance and service. Do not change a component or inspect the equipment with the voltage applied. A residual charge may exist in some capacitors with the equipment turned off. Alwayo chert all supply lines to the chassis with an insulated screwdriver or a similar tool prior to touching the circuit. FIRST AID IN CASE OF ELECTRIC SHOCK When a victim struck by electricity is found, first switch off the equipment via the main switch on the equipment or the ship's distribution board. If this is not possible, protect yourself with dry insulating material (2 wooden plate or rod, cloth, your belt, etc.) and pull the victim clear of electricity. If the victim is not breathing himself, apply artificial respiration according to the "Method of Artificial Respiration." Do not give up halfway. Perseverance aud vuulinual efforts are important m artificial respiration. METHOD OF ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION “ay tne victim on his baek. — Position yourself beside the victim's head and pinch his nose by your thumb and forefinger to provent air leakage. Insert the thumb of your other hand between the vietim's teeth and lift his chin up. Then, place the arm (the one closing the victim's nose) on the victim's forehead and press the head down so that the victim's head is given a maximum backward tilt with the chin prominent aud lie neck vent back. Seal the victim's mouth with your mouth and blow therein about half of the deeply inhaled air every time. After exhaling, turn your head to watch for a chest contraction, whilst inhaling deeply in readiness for the next blowing. Repeat the movements faster tor the tirst 1 to 2 minutes and 12 times per minute thereafter.A WORD TO FURUNO FCV-663 OWNERS: Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO FCV-663 Color Video Sounder!

It does this by utilizing the fact that an ultrasonic wave transmitted through water travels at a nearly constant speed of 4800 feet (1500m) per seeond. 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 ound wave, the depth to the objcet can be determined. In a scnae an echo sounder can be thought of as being an extremely sophisticated and quick timer, since it is capable of resolving time differences shorter than one thousandth of a second. ‘The entire process begins in the display unit. Transmitter power is sent to the transducer as a short pulse of electrical energy. The electrical signal produced by We teansullter is converted Ito an UlUrASOIe signal py me transdueer and transmitted into the water. Any reflected signals from intervening objects (such as a fish school) are received by the transducer and converted hack into an electrical signal. It ig then amplified in the amplifier section, and finally, displayed on the sereen. The picture displayed by the FCV-663 is made up of a series of vertical scan lines, one tor each transmission. Fach line represents a "snapshot" of what has occurred beneath the boat. The series of snapshots are accumulated side by side across the screen, and the resulting contours of the bottom and fi amount of history of objects that have passed beneath the boat over a series of transmission varies trom less than a minute to several minutes, depending gn how you adjust the unit. For further details, see page 23. Picture Advance Speed Selection. h between the bottom and surface are displayeds ‘The ig +1 Principle of Keho SoundingINSTALLATION TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION ‘The FCV-663 is available with cither a transom mount, iusive-ull mount or through-hull mount transducer. This section of the manual shows the installation procedure for each transducer. The performance of this video sounder is directly related to the mounting location of the transducer, especially for high-speed cruising. ‘The installation should be planned in advance, keeping the standard cable length (Om) and the following favturs in wind. 1) Air bubbles and turbulence caused by movement of the boat seriously degrade the sounding eapahility of the traneduoor. The transdacee should, therefore, be located in a position where water flow is the smoothest. Noise from the propellers also adversely affects performance and the transducer should not be mounted nearby. The lifting strakes are notorious for creating acoustic noise, and these must be avoided by keeping the transducer inboard of them. 2) Tho tranoducer must always remain submerged, even when tne boat 1s rolling, pitching or up on a plane at high speed. For displacement hulls, using inside-hull and throngh-hull incteletions, 9 practical choice would be somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of the boat's length from the stern. For planing hulls, a practical location is generally rather far astern, so that the transducer is always in the water reguruiess of tne planing atutuae.

(inside the first lifting strakes) a J / + Within he wetted bottom area. + Deadrise angle within 15°, Figure 2 Acceptable Transducer LocationsTransom Mount This type of mounting is very commonly employed, usually on relatively small 1/O or outboard boats. Do not attempt this mounting on an inboard boat due to turbulence orcated by the propeller ahead of the trancducor~ 1, Attach the transducer to the bracket as shown in Fig 2. To determine a suitable transducer mounting location, run the boat at several speed ranges and observe the water flow at the rear and near the transum. Suitable location is at least 50 cm (18") away from the engine and where the water flow is smooth. 3. On a relatively flat hull. the transducer is mounted flush with the hull- bottom, and there are two choices of installation as shown in Fig.3. Note that the direction of the transducer and its fixing holes on the brackets are different for each method. Although there is less influence from air bubbles with method (2), you must be careful not to damage the transducer when the boat is hauled out of the water/put on a trailer. On a deep "V" hull, the transducer is mounted in the same manner as mothod (2) for tho flat hull. It should be mounted as noar as tho bottom edge of the transom, and the transducer face must be paralleled with the seabed, not with the hull bottom. The temperature/speed sensor ST-01PTB can be directly attached to the transducer as shown on page AP-1, provided that the transducer is mounted in method (2). If method (1) is taken, the sensor should be mounted separately. 4. Mark the screw locations by holding the transducer in position on the transom. 5. Drill four pilot holes for the mounting screws. 6. Mount the transducer and secure it with four self-tapping screws. A small amount of sealing compound under the head of each screw will preserve the watertight integrity of the transom. Adjust the transducer position so that the transducer faces right the seabed. 8. If necessary, to improve water flow and minimize air bubbles staying on the transducer face, incline the transducer about 5° at the rear. This may require a certain amount of experimentation for fine-tuning at high cruising speeds. 9. Fill the gap between the wedge front of the transducer and transom with epoxy material to eliminate any air spaces. When the transducer with speed/temperature sensor (molded in one unit: type 52UST-PWA) is installed, tollow the installation method (z) on tne next page.D=50 em (18") (Flat Hu) aoe RTS TT i Toke the mmarhst a) \ SS 3

It should be noted that a high frequency is less influenced by rough oca when comparcd with a low frequenoy- However, in the application where observation of DSL (plankton layer) is first essential, use low frequency because such scattering objects are clearly plotted. 3) To wateh the seabed condition in bottom trawling, a low frequency is preferable because the seabed is plotted thickly and changes of the width can be easily noticed; @ wide seabed trace indicates a hard and w rerow trace a soft seabed. 4) ‘Tho "LIE" modo offers dual wateh of beth law and high frequencies. In this mode, discrimination of species or fish size is possible through experience. A fish body reflects both low and high frequencies, but the proportion of reflection differs from fish to fish. Also, it is widely Known that tiny fish reflects high frequencies than low frequencies. 5) Though a high frequency offers a sharp, clear-cut picture, its use sould Ve limited iy slulluw water fishing because it ia caaily attenuated in the water.

Normal Ficture Kange Selection The Basic Range and Range Shifting functions used together give the sporator the moans to select tho depth ho oan cbeorve dincetly under the boat. The Basic Range can be thought of as providing a "window" into the water column. The start of this window is determined by the setting of the Shifted Range selection. For example, if you select Basie Range "5", you will have a 25d-foot deep viewing area, which may be moved anywhere in the water column by using the Range Shifting function. To continue our example, if the Shifted Range is set to 50 feet, the top of the range window would be at 90 feet, and the Uvttuu uf Wie range window would Le al 290 plus 90 Feet or 300 feet.

NOTE | When the automatic bottom tracking function (AUTO | shift) is selected, the manual range shifting mentioned above is not operative. Gain Control (=siint? [= chi + The Gain control adjusts the sensitivity of the receiver. Normally, the gain is set to the point just below where excessive noise appears on the screen. As a general rule of thumb, use a higher gain setting for greater depths aud a iower secuing for shallower waters. For example, if you are looking for fish between the surface and the bottom in a range of perhaps 20 to 30 feet, you may not be concerned at all with seeing the bottom. You might use a Basie Range setting af "3" (60 foot mango window) with a Shifted Nenge setting of "0". You would bring up the gain until excessive noise is shown between the surface and bottom and then you would back off just a little. Now fish will show when they are encountered. ‘The setting of gain is digitally displayed on the sereen for a few seconds. reooign™ BROMN | Too High Proper Fig.13 Gain Control Adjustment 22As another example, if you are interested in seeing fish close to or on the bottom at 150 feet, you might be using a Basic Range of "3" (60-foot window) with a Shifted Range setting of 100 feet. Here you would bring up the gain until the bottom is shown in the strongest echo, REDDISH BROWN, and then increase the gain a bit further until excessive noise appears on the serven. Again you mould back off the gain unui Wie nulse Just disappears. In both of these cases you are setting up the maximum level of usable gain, assuring you of the greatest possibility for seeing fish. Picture Advance Speed Selection: | + AMC Because the picture is but up one scan une at a ume, trom right to left across the sereen, the amount of history displayed on the sercen is directly related to the picture advance speed. At the fastest advance speed "4", each tranemission reaulte in one sean Kine boing produced on the sorecn. With the slowest advance speed "i", you will only see one sean line produced for every 6 transmissions. This will result in a longer amount of history being shown on the screen. Press of the [+ or =! keys determines the speed of picture advance from right to left across the screen. The fractions in the table below correspond to how many Wansmissions are avcessary to Wuusteuet une suai Ine. For example, if the Picture Advance Speed is set to "4" (fastest), with a Basic Range setting of "1", and a Shifted Range setting of 9 feet, an echo will remain on the sereen for approximately one minute. As another example, using the same Basic and Shifted Range settings above, if the Picture Advance Rate is set to "1" (slowest) an echo will remain on the screen tor shghtly over 6 minutes. If the advance rate 1s set to "U", the display will remain frozen indefinitely. ism tnaisaton TO Sean Line! j pt Transmissions Cereese)| 1/6 | ase | ue | an When selecting an advance speed, keep in mind the following guidelines. 1) At faster aulvancement speeds C10" ur more), care sluuld We lake nul & misjudge the size of the fish school; a fast advance speed will expand the size of the senooi horizontally across the screen.

By reading the water temperature indication, you can know if the water suits the fish you are aiming for. If the temperature is far out of the range, you can hardly expeet a good catch. It is also well known that current rips, caused along sea streams/currents or at their junction,often gather dense fish schools. ‘This rip ean be found by watching for ripples or coloration of sea surface. or by observing DSI.

Objects out of the main beam but close to the beam will be presented less densely, smaller in size, and at a lower intensity. With the FCV-663, the operator has the choice of either 50kHz or 200kHz operation. There are advantages and disadvantages to both frequencies and you should select the trequency best sultea to your neeas. Generally, beamwidth depends. on transmission frequency; a narrower Deamwidth io uoually obtained at the higher frequency. Fan exemple, the 200 KHz transducer has a "-3 dB" beamwidth of approximately 10 degrees, whereas the 50 KHz transducer has a beamwidth of approximately 46 degrees. Transducer Types: 520-5PWC/5PSC /5MSC/5208T -PWAIMSA SoKHe DEPTH 2002 (re I 2 - at Fig-22 Comparison of 50 and 200KH2 Traneduoore Because the beamwidth of the 200kHz transducer is narrow, the operator has the advantage of lgher resululiun. tn additiv, the effects of cruising noise and air bubbles are greatly reduced, since air bubbles resonate at a frequeney between 15 and 100kHz. On the minus side, a narrow beamwidth trancducor will display even the smoothest bottom contour in a sawtooth pattern if the boat is moving up and down due to pitching and rolling of the boat. This makes discrimination of fish down close to the bottom aifficuit. Also, because of the limited coverage area, a narrow beamwidth tends to overlook catchable fish at the sides of the boat. (The maximum percent of depth covered on the Luttum fur the 200klIz transducer ie 17% of the depth. For example, if the bottom depth is 300 feet, the diameter of the coverage circle on the bottom would be only 52 feet. 30ZERO LINE The sero line (oometimes referred to as the transmission line) represents the transducer's position, and moves off the sereen when a deep phased range is used. FISH SCHOOL ECHOES Fish school echoes will generally be plotted between the zero line and the bottom. Usually the fish school/fish echo is weaker than the bottom echo because the reflection ourface and the reflection property are much smaller than compared to the bottom. ‘(he size of the fish school can be ascertained from the density of the display. BOTTOM ECHO Echoes from the bottom are normally the strongest and are displayed in the reddish brown color but the color and width will vary with bottom composition, water depth, frequency, sensitivity, ete. In a comparatively shallow depth, a high gain setting and a strong bottom echo will cause a second or sometimes a third or a fourth echo to be displayed at the same interval between them below the first echo trace. This is because the echo travels between tie buttvi and the surface twice or more in shallow depths. The color of the bottom echo can be used to help determine the density of the bottom material (soft or hard). The harder the bottom, the wider the trace. If the gain is set to show only a single bottom echo on mud, rocky bottom will show a second or third bottom voturn. The Basic Range chosen should be set to show the first and second bottom echoes when bottom hardness is being determined. 3h Big.23 Phased aia ee | Fig .24 —_—— Small Large school school Intensity, difference in <|7 water aepin Seoond bottom echo’ Sooand dattom echo. ‘Third bottom eno} y's, Rock base mud» suns ———- memIn rough waters the bottom is re- corded in a zig-zag pattern, similar to the teeth of a saw. This is caused by the heavy pitching and rolling of the boat, causing the sounding direction to fluctuate and the distance to the bottom to vary. SURFACE NOISE/AERATION When the waters are rough or the boat passes over # wake, surface noise may appear near the vera Hine. As sunface turbulence is acoustically equivalent to running into a brick wall, the bottom ceho will be displayed intermittently. Similar noise sometimes appears when a water temperature difference (thermo- cline) exists. Different species of fish tend to prefer different temperature zones, so thermocline information may be useful to help identify target tish. 200KHz tends to show shallow thermo- clines better than 50KIlz. In rough waters the display is ocvasiynally interrupted due (0 below- the-ship air bubbles obstructing the sound path. This also occurs when the boat makes a quick turn or reverses movement. Lowering the __ picture advanee speed may reduce the inte ruption. However, reconsideration of the transducer mstallauon may be necessary if the interruption occurs frequently. 32 Zig-zng bottom image Pig .25 Surfane— noise ‘Thermoeline Caused by eccated water Fig.26MAINTENANCE GENERAL The equipment will maintain optimum performance for a lony period.

If ihe picture sensitivity is considerably improved through this exchange, the transducer is considered to be faulty. On the contrary, if no differences are found, the Display Unit may be faulty. This method is especially nsefil far inside-hull or through-hull installation. The following quick check also helps to judge the performance of the transducer to some extent. Haul the transducer from the water and turn on the POWER. Put your ear noar the transducor face and carcfully Hoten to the transmission sound. If you can hear a clicking sound, the transducer probably is OK. Next, rub the transducer fece with your hand and observe whether any noise appears on the screen. The appearance of noise indicates that the transducer is normal. In case of neither sound nor noise, the transducer is likely to be faulty. SPEED/TEMPERATURE SENSOR CHECK The idea of transducer check can apply to this case, too; temporarily substitute a new sensor instead of the existing one to the Dislay Unit. If the speed/temperature indications become normal through this exchange, the sensor is considered to be faulty. Unless @ new sensor is available, try the following checks. First, unplug the sensor connector from the display rear panel, and conduct Self-check (see page 37). If the speed is indicatied "00" and the temperature indicate "20" or around, the display unit will be alright. See Pig.31a. Next, return to the normal operating mode, and turn the water wheel with a finger. If the sensor is normal, the spesd indieation will he 2 to 2 knote when the wheel is turned at a normal speed and will be 7 to 8 knots when turned more quickly. As for the temperature, the reading should change when you touch the thermosensor as shown in Fig.31(b). fad &e) Fig.31 39SERIAL COMMUNICATION INTERFACE CHECK When the ship's position indication is thought to be abnormal, the following loop-back test will instantly judge which unit is faulty, the video sounder or the position fixing equipment. Afler turning off the displty unit, remove te plug from tne Jack 32 on ine MAIN pe board and strap two pieces of jumper leads on d2 as shown below.
