  • Page 6: Foreword

    ISO 9001 standards as certified by the Lloyd’s Register of Quality Assurance System. Features The FURUNO FE-700 is comprised of display unit and transducer unit. Echo sounding data is displayed on the bright 6.5-inch color TFT (Thin Film Transistor) LCD display.

  • Page 7: System Configuration

    TRANSDUCER PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The FE-700 uses ultrasonic pulses to detect the seabed and other underwater objects. The display unit contains all basic electric circuits and logic processor. Electrical pulses are converted into acoustical energy in the transducer fitted on the ship’s hull. The processor measures the time of pulses travelling between the seabed and transducer and displays the water depths in the graphical form or other forms.
