(such as equipment is solely responsible for the toluene) since it may harm the sheath. proper installation of the equipment. FURUNO will assume no responsibility for any damage associated with improper installation. Be sure that the power supply is compatible with the voltage rating of the equipment.
220/230V, 1φ, 50/60Hz EXIF Board assy (option) only : Master ship; FCV-1500M, FCV-1500 with the EXIF Board assy are available. Sister ship; FCV-1500 with the EXIF Board Assy (option) only. One external unit is connectable on the sister ship. Output signal is one frequency only.
MOUNTING 1.1 Display Unit Mounting considerations The display unit is designed to be mounted on a desktop. When selecting a mounting location for the display unit keep in mind the following points. • Locate the unit where it can be easily operated and the screen viewed while looking over the bow.
1.2 Transducer (FCV-1500 only) The performance of the color video sounder greatly depends on the transducer location. A place least affected by air bubbles should be selected since turbulence interferes with sounding. Also, select a place least influenced by engine noise. It is known that bubbles are at a minimum, at normal cruising speed, at the location where the first bow wave falls and the next wave rises.

Thru-hull mount water temperature sensor T-02MSB, T-03MSB When selecting a mounting location for the sensor keep in mind the following points: • Select a mid-boat flat position. • The sensor does not have to be installed perfectly perpendicular, however it must not be located where it won’t be damaged when the boat is dry docked.

When the external equipment (E/S, Transmitter unit, Switch box) is connected, attach the SRCN6A25-24P connector (installation materialls) to the cable. Note:The EXIF Board assy (option) enables connection of the FCV-1500 to other equip- ment. SRCN6A25-24P connectosr are supplied with this option in the box.
Be sure the shield of the interconnection cable lies in the cable clamp of the connector (both FNZ-18 and FCV-1500/M). (Analog sonde signal and sonde temperature are also available. For details see the interconnection diagram at the end of this manual and the installation manual of the FNZ-18.)
