FE-800

The Furuno FE-800 is a marine echo sounder. It is normally installed on the bridge with an acoustic transducer in the hull. It is designed for measurement of water depth beneath the vessel. The operating principle relies on transmission of acoustic pulses and timing of seabed echoes. Compared with neighbouring models, the relevant differences are frequency, transducer arrangement, display and recording functions; these must be confirmed from the installed documentation rather than inferred from the model designation alone. Service and survey attention should concentrate on transducer/cable condition, offsets, alarms, depth presentation and independent comparison. For exact ratings, dimensions, tolerances, test limits and model-specific settings, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
