GENERAL INFORMATION

This Owner's Manual covers the Fish Finder functions of the FF525 when used with the
STANDARD HORIZON GPS Chart Plotters.
The FF525 advanced features include:
· A-Scope (displays Sonar Echo in real time)
· Preset modes (Fish, Cruise)
· 2x and 4x Zoom (capability to magnify any part of the Fish Finder image of a fixed rate)
· Bottom Lock (capability to magnify a user defined range around the bottom)
· White Line (help distinguish between fish and bottom, when fish are swimming close
to the bottom)
· Sensitivity Time Control (STC) reduces Surface Clutter shown on the display by
reducing echoes from water disturbances
· Surface Noise Filter (suppresses the displaying of Surface Clutter)
· Interference Rejection (allows reducing interference from other boats/Fish Finders)
· Noise Filter
· Fish Symbol feature
· Transducer ID (automatically selects power output and parameters for best performance).
· Dual Frequency: 50 and 200kHz with the capability to display the two frequencies at
the same time.
· Dual Power output: 600/1000W (4800/8000Wpp) depending on the transducer con-
nected. Refer to Par. 3.0.7 "Optional Transducers ID Sensors".
· Max Depth*: 1KW - 1200Ft (365m) at 200kHz, 4000Ft (1219m) at 50kHz
600W - 700Ft (213m) at 200kHz, 1500Ft (457m) at 50kHz
· Min Depth: 2.5Ft (0.8m) at 200kHz, 5Ft (1.6m) at 50kHz
· Max Typical*: 1KW - 980Ft (299m) at 200kHz, 2700Ft (823m) at 50kHz
600W - 600 Ft (183m) at 200kHz, 1350Ft (411m) at 50kHz
This is not a guaranteed specification. The actual maximum depth capability of the system depends
on the type of transducer fitted, the reflectivity of the bottom, water condition, etc.
· Speed Sensor (if available on transducer)
· Dual temperature inputs Sensor (One channel TEMP1, Optional second channel
TEMP2) - if available on transducer
· Trip Log
· External buzzer connections (buzzer not supplied)
· Alarms - Shallow, Depth, Temp Upper, Temp Lower
The following STANDARD HORIZON transducers will only operate with the FF525: DST520,
DST521, DST523, DST525, DST526, DST527 and DST528.
