of the hoisting device. When used in excess of the ship speed resistance, the hoisting
device may be damaged and cause an accident.
Hoisting
operation
Ascent 15 knots or less
Descent 15 knots or less
ship speed
resistance
16 knots
• Change electrolytic corrosion-preventing zinc plates annually.
Be sure to perform electrolytic corrosion prevention.
If electrolytic corrosion prevention is
not performed, the transducer may fall accidentally or there may be an influx of seawater
into a dome, in the worst case.
For the transducer
The transducer of this sonar system is filled with castor oil inside. This castor oil may steep
from the transducer cable due to outside temperature change, but it does not affect the
performance.
For preventing damage at sea
When the transducer or the hoisting device is damaged at sea, the sonar system cannot be used,
accordingly, the operation or safe navigation is sometimes hindered. Furthermore, it takes a large
amount of time and cost to exchange and repair the transducer or the hoisting device.
In order to prevent these accidents from occurring, store the transducer by performing the
following operations when conditions are as described below.
1. Condition
1) Sea condition with many float and drift
2) The case of getting out of an encircling net by a lightship of round haul netter fleet
3) A shallow place where ropes or wires are set up under seas
4) During an anchorage of a ship
2. Transducer storage operation
1) Press the ascent key of the hoisting device of the controller and store the transducer.
2) During ascending, an arrowhead “” is indicated in upper right of the screen and the
display bar of the hoisting amount is gradually reduced.
3) When the transducer is stored and the hoisting device goes up to the upper limit, the
upper limit message is displayed and the hoisting device stops.
vii
On the battery·electric cell exchange
In this instrument, a battery is used to have clock function. Perform exchange of a
battery periodically.
Be sure to change any expired batteries. If you leave a battery unchanged, there is
a risk of smoking and ignition.
<Target of exchange>
As to a battery, the target life is set to about two years as a standard. When the battery is
used under a high temperature, the life becomes shorter.
<Exchange method>
As to the exchange of a battery, make contact with our service staff.
Batteries are valuable and recyclable resources. In changing batteries and used
product disposal, cooperate in recycling.
viii
Fan Motor Replacement
This system is designed to prevent internal temperature increase in the processor,
receiver and transmitter by installing fan motors in them. If those fan motors are not
working, an increase in the internal temperature of those devices may cause their
malfunction. The outlets of the fans, therefore, should be inspected regularly to check
that the fan motors are working properly.
Although the service life of the fan motors in general is 50,000 hours, it varies depending
on the use environment. For this reason, fan motors must be replaced periodically.
<How to Replace>
For replacement of the motor fans, please contact our service staff.

4. 4. 1. Instructions for Option Setting
This sonar system has “Option” setting function, and it can be changed by “Menu” item.
“ Option” is to set important parameters for the basic operation of the sonar. Therefore, if
the parameters are changed, the sonar may not be able to fulfill the functions. Basically,
the parameters are set by our service staff, however, if you change the parameters,
change them very carefully.
If the parameters cannot be reset, perform the operation shown in the example “Loading
the standard setting” in “4.2.1 Selecting Set Items” to load the standard setting. In this
way, you can reset the setting to the standard setting.

5. 4. 13. Discrimation
5. 4. 14. Discrimation V
The fish school discrimination settings are used to select signal processing modes of sonar
images. 10 settings from “ Discrim 1” to “ Discrim 10” are available. The standard setting is
“ Discrim 5”. While “ Discrim 1” is the weakest signal processing, “ Discrim 10” is the
strongest signal processing. These settings should be used depending on a fish type or
your preference. The “ School Discrim” and the “ School Discrim V” are used for setting the
horizontal images and the vertical images, respectively.
5. 4. 15 TX Power
5. 4. 16 TX Power V
These settings are used to change transmission power in the rage from 0 to 10. The
transmission stops when the TX POWER is “0”, and the power is highest when the TX
POWER is “10.” If the value of the TX power is increased, the intensity of the TX POWER
is also increased to enable long-range searching. The “TX POWER” and “TX POWER V”
are used for setting the horizontal images and the vertical images, respectively.
5. 4. 17. TX Pulse
5. 4. 18. TX Pulse V
These settings are used to change the transmission pulse width in the range from 1 to 20.
The width is minimum when TX PULSE is “1”, and the width is maximum when TX PULSE
is “20.” A short pulse width should be used to detect a fish school in the shallows or when
you want to confirm the density of a fish school. The “TX Pulse” and “TX Pulse V” are used
for setting the horizontal images and the vertical images, respectively.
5. 4. 19 Synchronization
This function is used to synchronize sonar operations. When the setting is “Internal”, the sonar
operation synchronizes with itself, and the setting is “External”, the sonar operation
synchronizes with external signals. When there is a lot of noise from the fish finder, etc,
external signals should be input from the fish finder to synchronize with external signals.

5. 4. 20. Noise Reduction
5. 4. 21. Noise Reduction V
The noise reduction settings are used to eliminate acoustic noise and random noise from
other ships as well as the sea clutter generated during bad sea conditions. 10 settings from
“NR1” to “NR10” are available. The standard setting is ”NR5.” While “NR1” is the weakest
signal processing, “NR10” is the strongest signal processing. Normally the standard setting
should be used because the PP FILTER function can deteriorate the image smoothing.
The “ Noise Reduction” and “ Noise Reduction V” are used for setting the horizontal
images and the vertical images, respectively.

The stabilization is used to detect the pitching and rolling of the ship and to control the
TX/RX beam to face in a certain direction. When this setting is “ON”, the stabilizing
operation is enabled. The “Stabilization” function is effective for searching a fish school
because this function can display stable images on the screen regardless of the pitching
and rolling of the ship.
5. 4. 30. Tilt Mode
This function is used to select the tilt mode. When the “Auto” is selected, automatic tilt can
be repeated with the mode selected by “Auto Tilte”. When the “One” is selected, the

This mark is the vertical screen display bearing that is displayed on the horizontal screen.
This function can be used when the screen mode is changed to Vertical 1, Vertical 2 and
Vertical Wide. The vertical mark display can be selected by menu settings from 3 options
which are “None”, “Normal” and “Range”. The vertical range mark indicates the vertical
screen range. The vertical mark is displayed when the horizontal screen range is longer

This is for setting the tilt manually.
This is for changing the tilt automatically each time the
transmission is performed. This is also for changing an angle set
by the auto tilt mode each time the transmission is performed.
For example, when the tilt is 0°, and 2° in the auto tilt mode, the tilt
continually changes each time the transmission is performed,
starting from -2°→ -4°→ -2°→ 0°→ +2°→0°.
Unlike continual changing in the auto tilt mode, the one shot mode
is for changing only one cycle of the auto set.
For example, when the tilt is 0°, and 2° in the auto tilt mode, the
one shot mode changes only one cycle of the tilt each time the
transmission is performed, starting from -2°→ -4°→ -2°→ 0°→
+2°→0°, and it ends the changing process.
