    FOREWORD Features A Word to FE-700 Owners The FURUNO FE-700 is comprised of display Thank you for purchasing this navigational echo unit and transducer unit. Echo sounding data is sounder. We are confident you will discover why displayed on the bright 6.5-inch color TFT (Thin FURUNO has become synonymous with quality Film Transistor) LCD display.

  • Page 7: System Configuration

    FE-700 system configuration 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.
