Navigation echosounders

Echo interface SI-F-03M

The interface is designed for docking echo sounders containing a paper recorder, with echo sounders or echo sounders, having a color display as a recorder.

The interface allows you to align the levels of echo signals, as well as the levels and polarity of the start pulses of the mating echo sounders.

The use of the interface makes it possible to upgrade the echo sounder available on board the vessel using its antenna and premium transmitting path connected to a color display. The obtained qualitatively new echo sounder does not require docking for installation of an antenna in the ship’s hull, which significantly speeds up and reduces the cost of installation work.

The SI-F-03 interface includes three functional nodes:

• Variable frequency amplifier assembly with a bandwidth of up to 200 kHz
• The node of the detector that selects the envelope of the echo signals. The dynamic range of the detector is -57 dB.
• Node of formation of triggering pulses. All nodes of the interface have high input and low output impedances. The inputs and outputs of the interface are protected by overload and short circuit protection devices.

Furuno FE-700

The purpose of the echosounder is to provide safe navigation by detecting the clearance below the ship (particularly in shallow waters) as required on the SOLAS Convention ships by the new IMO standards.

The 6.5″ high-brightness TFT color LCD displayoffers an easy-to-read depth sounding in various modes, permitting optimum representation with respect to the environment.

Detection range is automatically varied but there is manual override to select the required scale. The displayed record is visible for 15 min on any range and an instantaneous sounding is directly shown in large numerals in addition to the graphical display.

Depths, associated time, and position are stored for 24h in memory. The data can be played back at any time. Visual and audible alarms are generated when the water depth below transducer is shallower than a user-preset depth. When the sea bed is lost because of the lowered detection or out of range setting, the alarm comes on. The receiver sensitivity is automatically controlled with the tracking depth; manual override is possible to improve the detection and to reduce the surface clutter.

The transducer is available in 200kHz or 50kHz. The 200kHz system is advantageous in roughweather or congested waterways in shallow waters whereas the 50kHz system is recommended for deeper range operation. Depth data can be output in IEC 61162 format to radar, ECDIS, VDR (Voyage Data Recorder), and other radiocommunication and navigation equipment. Optional software is available to transfer the sounding data to a personal computer.
