Installation of DFF3D Multibeam Sounder
The "DFF3D" and "PBG" Modules need to be unlocked prior to configuring the Furuno DFF-3D in
TZ Professional.
Computer Setup
The DFF-3D connects to the PC through an Ethernet connection (100Base-T). All Furuno Ethernet sensors (including Ethernet sounders) only operate
on the 172.31.x.x. / 255.255.0.0 network.
•
You will have to setup your computer IP address to match that network. We highly recommended using 172.31.3.150 as a fixed IP address
for the computer with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0.
Open the "Network Connections" control panel of
your computer to adjust the IP address:
•
Press [Windows] + [R] to bring up the Run
Dialog box
•
Type "ncpa.cpl" and press [Enter]
•
Double click on the Network Adapter
connected to the DFF-3D (usually "Local Area
Connection").
•
Select "Properties" on the "Local Area
Connection Status" window.
Note: If you have multiple Area Connections (multiple Ethernet Cards) and if you don't know which one is connected
to the DFF-3D, you can temporary disconnect the Ethernet Cable connected to the DFF-3D from the computer and
look at which icon will display a red cross. This will indicate the LAN that has been disconnected from the computer,
and the one that needs to be configured.

DFF-3D Transducer Setup Scroll down inside the "Multibeam Sounder" Options page to the "Setup" category. 1. Adjust the "Transducer Draft" (distance in between the water line and the transducer location).
- Page 4 IMPORTANT: For the best motion compensation performance, we highly recommend using a SC30 connected to TIMEZERO via NMEA2000 (using the Actisense NGT1 USB to NMEA2000 adapter). In that case, "Motion Sensor Source" should be setup to "SC" with accurate GPS and Motion sensor offset values.
- Page 5 Installation of DFF3D Multibeam Sounder Adjust the Sensor Time lag (inside the "Transducer Setup" window) according to the following situations: Motion Sensor (when using SC30): Only adjust these parameters if "Motion Sensor Source" is set to "SC" (not "Internal"). •...
- Page 6 Connection Wizard First make sure that TIMEZERO is properly configured to receive position, heading and optionally, motion data (when the SC30 is used). If you are using an SC30 connected to the computer using NMEA2000 via the Actisense NGT-1 (recommended setup), make sure that you have configured a NMEA2000 connection from the Connection Wizard.
- Page 7 IMPORTANT: In order for the boat icon to scale properly, make sure to enter the Boat Length, Boat Width, and GPS location from the Initial Setup Options. Note that the coordinate system used by TIMEZERO is different than the one used to enter the DFF3D offset in the Transducer Setup.
