GENERAL The DS-30 is a highly-advanced, precision Doppler Sonar which incorporates FURUNO’s long established ultrasonic technology. It provides accurate displays of ship’s speed over a wide range from dead slow to maximum. Speeds are detected relative to the ground or water both fore-aft and athwarthship. This feature allows precise docking of mammoth tankers to oil loading/unloading facilities, as well as safe navigation in narrow channels or straits.
“fo + fd” and “fo - fd” by the transducer. In the processor unit of the DS-30, difference of “fo + fd” and “fo - fd” are computed to extract only the Doppler shift factor “fd”.

Set a correction factor to be applied to the through- -12.5 to +12.5% (WTR TRK SPD) the-water speed measured by DS-30. Use “+” polarity 0.0% to increase the readout and “-” polarity to decrease it. This item is set by the installation engineer sea trial by running the ship on a fair current and then on the head current.
10. SELF-CHECK Self-Check The DS-30 has a self-check facility for general diagnosis of the major circuits. If an unusual symptom is encountered during operation of the equipment, perform the self-check. If the self-check shows an equipment fault, report the result when calling for service.
Press each key to see if the corresponding key mark on the screen is highlighted in reverse video. For the trackball, check that the hand pointer ( ) on the screen moves within the circle as the trackball is operated. To terminate the panel test press the MENU key.
The TX/RX checks the transceiver circuit and the transducer for each beam. When the speed readings measured by DS-30 are abnormal and echoes shown in the continuous test seem weak for a particular beam, the transceiver circuit or the transducer for that beam may be defective.
Note: When one of the three beams is faulty and you still wish to use the DS-30, use it with the beam test turned on isolating the faulty beam. Accuracy of the speed measurement goes low but may be practically acceptable for ocean going navigation.

Dimmer, Mode switch, Unit switch Note 1: Depths are measured below transducer surface (hull bottom). Note 2: The DS-30 uses an acoustic wave for speed measurements. Aeration due to rapid acceleration/deceleration, heavy engine/propeller vibration or interference from other sounding equipments can degrade performance of this equipment.
14. TABLES FOR RECORDING USER PRESETS The DS-30 employs menus to preset various measuring and display parameters, to customize the equipment precisely to your operating conditions.
