FE800 Echosounder 

The FE800 is a result of Furuno's many decades of experience developing echo sounders, sonars and underwater application equipment and systems. This echo sounder is a breakthrough over the conventional paper sounders; there are no consumable items. The purpose of the echo sounder 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 basic system consists of a display unit and distribution box. The 8.4" high-brightness colour LCD display offers an easy-to-read depth sounding in various modes, permitting optimum representation with respect to the environment.

Stay informed with visual and audible alerts

The FE800 generates alerts when the water depth below the transducer is shallower than the preset depth. When the seabed is lost due to the lowered power supply or out of range scale, an alert is generated. The receiver sensitivity is automatically controlled with the tracking depth; manual override is possible to improve the detection and to reduce the surface clutter.

Providing Mission critical data at your fingertips

• Own Ship Data - View your Own Ship Data (OS Data) when the FE800 is connected to an external GPS Navigator.
• History - Display a combination of Contour and Strata echo readings in preset intervals of 5 seconds, 1 minute or 2 minutes.
• Logbook - Display the stored time, depth and own ship position. The logbook is capable of storing data for up to 720 log entries.
• Alert Log List - Displays up to 100 alerts stored in history.

Features

• Dual frequency display (50/200 kHz) - The depth at the FORE and AFT positions can be displayed simultaneously.
• A variety of display modes available: NAV, OS DATA and HISTORY
• High contrast 8.4" LCD
• When interfaced with FURUNO remote display RD-20/50, depth information can be observed at a remote location
• Optional printer interface available for printing out echogram
• Connecting a PC with the optional data recording software allows you to store, compile and print out the past data of the echogram via PC
• The FE-800 generates alerts when the water depth below transducer is shallower than a preset depth. When the seabed is lost due to the lowered power supply or out of range scale, an alert is generated
  BAM (Bridge Alert Management) ready** -  Meets the specific requirements for alerts and interconnection with Bridge Alert Management in IMO MSC.302 (87)* BAM capability is to be implemented as software update after the product release in early 2015.
• Depth data for the past 24 hours is storable in the internal memory - For the amount of data for storage and playback on the FE-800, please refer to “HISTORY” on the right page.
• With the optional PC software, the sounding information can be stored and played back for 24 hours, when the recording interval is set at 5 sec.
• Visual and audible alerts  - The FE-800 generates alerts when the water depth below transducer is shallower than a pre-set depth. When the seabed is lost due to the lowered power supply or out of range scale, an alert is generated
