FISH FINDER
FCV-38
Stable echo presentation in all sea conditions! Optimize your fishing operation with multi-direction detection and split-beam technology!
The FCV-38 is a 38 kHz low frequency and 4 kW high power black box split beam fish finder with fish size indicator
REF: IMD0348300A
Echo images from 5 different directions received simultaneously with the multibeam system
The FCV-38 can detect a school of fish in five directions at once and provides information on the location of the targeted fish in the vessel. The operator can adjust the five beams in any direction within a 20° range in the menu settings.
Users can activate or deactivate simultaneous transmission by using 3 types of split-beam modes:
Alternating transmission
Semi-simultaneous transmission
Simultaneous transmission
Semi-simultaneous transmission is a new function that limits beam-to-beam interference and makes the seabed easier to identify than with the simultaneous beam transmission mode.
Built-in motion sensor provides a stabilized target presentation in rough sea conditions
Built-in motion sensor provides a stabilized target presentation in rough sea conditions.
Stabilized echo by roll/pitch compensation thanks to the built-in motion sensor assures a reliable echo image and fish size estimation, which is negatively affected by the rolling and pitching action.
With Furuno's exclusive stabilizer technology, the FCV-38 can stabilize both TX and RX beams independently, ensuring that the picture remains accurate.
In addition, it is possible to connect a Satellite Compass™ to achieve the heave compensation and improve the performance.
Accurate fish size estimation
The FCV-38 measures the size of fish in the selected area and displays the information in a graph that can be understood at a glance. The split-beam technology has improved the accuracy and reliability of fish size measurements and graphs (max 3).
The fish size measurement function includes particularly useful tools to help the user keep track of targets. For example, the tool “Auto Depth” automatically adjusts the depth of the measurement area until more fish are detected if the target fish has fallen below the set limit or has left the measurement area. The tool “auto area” can be used to automatically move and adjust the measurement area to areas with a large number of single fish.
Fish size measurement
It is possible to display up to 3 fish size graphs simultaneously, of selected areas.
Each graph can independently analyze and distinguish the fish size of the selected echogram, according to 4 different measurement methods: entire area, specific range, bottom trace, specific area
Fish size graph and Target graph
The FCV-38 offers the possibility to show fish size, target plot, seabed hardness and roughness graphs to optimize and improve the efficienty of fishing operation.
Scientific data output and calibration capability
Echo data can be recorded in netCDF4 format.
FCV-38 is capable of output the scientific data for several purpose, for example as aid of contribution of fish stock assessment.
Thanks to a more accurate calibration function and improved user interface, FCV-38 in addition can make available for users the status of data acquisition.
Also detection zone, its progress and completion can be viewed at a glance on the calibration screen
