SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The installer must read the appropriate safety instructions before attempting to install the equip-
ment.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not open the equipment unless
totally familiar with electrical circuits
and service manual.
Only qualified personnel are allowed to
work inside the equipment.
Turn off the power at the switchboard
before beginning the installation.
Fire or electrical shock can result if the
power is left on.
Install the transducer according to the
installation instructions.
Failure to install the transducer correctly
may result in water leakage and damage
to the ship’s hull.
Be sure no water leaks in at the
transducer mounting location.
Water leakage can sink the vessel. Also,
confirm that vibrations will not loosen the
transducer. The installer of the equipment
is solely responsible for the proper
installation of the equipment. FURUNO
will assume no responsibility for any
damage associated with improper
installation.
For wooden or FRP vessel using a
steel tank, attach a zink plate to the
hull to prevent electrolytic corrosion.
Electrolytic corrosion can, in the worst
case, result in loss of the transducer.

WARNING
CAUTIOCAUTION
Warning, Caution
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in minor or moderate injury.
CAUTIOCAUTION
Ground the equipment to prevent
mutual interference.
Do not transmit with the transducer
out of water.
The transducer may become damaged.
Use the proper cable and fuse.
Use of an incorrect cable and fuse can
damage the equipment and cause fire.
Observe the following compass safe
distance to prevent interference to a
magnetic compass:
The transducer cable must handled
carefully, following the guidelines
below.
- Keep the cable away from oil and fuels.
- Keep the cable away from locations
where it may be damaged during the
installation.
- Do not carry the transducer using only
the cable. The cable may become
damaged or disconnected.
- Do not shorten the transducer cable.
- Do not paint the cable.
The cable sheath is made of chloroprene
or vinyl chloride, which are easily dam-
aged by plastic solvents such as toluene.
Locate the cables away from plastic
solvents.

1. MOUNTING
1.1 Processor Unit
The processor unit can be installed on a tabletop or bulkhead. When selecting a
mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
• Locate the unit out of direct sunlight.
• Install the unit away from areas subject to water splash or rain.
• Select an installation location that is well ventilated.
• Do not prevent ventilation of the outer fitted fan.
• Locate the unit where shock and vibration are minimal.
• Leave sufficient service clearance around the unit. Refer to the outline drawing at
the back of this manual.
• Keep in mind the compass safe distance shown on page i.
• Locate the unit in the environmental condition permitted. (-15 °C to +55°C, IP22)
• Face the cable connectors downward for bulkhead mount.
How to mount the processor unit
Follow the procedure below to mount the processor unit on a bulkhead or a tabletop.
1. Attach the washers and knobs to both side of processor unit.
Note: Attach the included sealing sticker to the holes at the screws on both sides,
when the knobs are not used.
NOTICE
Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant
or contact spray to coating or plastic parts
of the equipment.
Those items contain organic solvents that can
damage coating and plastic parts, especially
plastic connectors.

2. Drill four pilot holes in the bulkhead or panel on a tabletop for self-tapping screws.
Refer to the outline drawing at back of this manual for mounting dimensions.
3. Fasten four self-tapping screws (I6x20) into the pilot holes, leave 5 mm protrud-
ing.
4. Hang (or set) the processor unit to the screws, then slide the processor unit down-
ward (or to the front).
5. Fasten the screws to secure the unit in place.
1.2 Transceiver Unit
The transceiver unit can be installed on a tabletop or bulkhead. When selecting a
mounting location, keep in mind following points:
• Locate the unit out of direct sunlight.
• Select an installation location that is well ventilated.
• Locate the unit where shock or vibration is minimal.
• Keep sufficient service clearance around the unit for maintenance.
• Keep in mind the compass safe distance shown on page i.

• Face the cable connectors downward for bulkhead mount.
How to mount the transceiver unit
1. Drill four pilot holes in the bulkhead or tabletop for self-tapping screws.
2. Screw two self-tapping screws (I5x20) into the lower pilot holes, leave 5 mm pro-
truding.
3. Hang (or set) the notches of transceiver unit onto the screws.
4. Screw two self-tapping screws into the upper fixing holes.
5. Fasten the screws to fix the unit in place.
1.3 Transducer
The performance of the fish finder depends on the transducer position. When select-
ing a mounting location, keep in mind following points.
• A place least affected by air bubbles should be selected since turbulence blocks the
sounding path.
• Select a place least influenced by engine noise.
• Select a place without other sounder interference. The transducer should be sepa-
rated from other transducers with the same frequency by 2.5 m or farther.
• Install the transducer face parallel to the sea surface.
ConnectorsConnectors
NOTICE
Do not install the transducer on the inner
side of the hull.
The signal strength is reduced and may
affect the accuracy of measurements.
Do not cover the transducer with FRP resin.
The heat generated when the resin hardens
may damage the transducer.
For mounting the transducer, use a flange for
transducer tank.

1. MOUNTING
1-4
• Orient the transducer fore mark to ship’s bow
within ±5 degree.
It is known that air bubbles are fewest at the place
where the bow first falls and the next wave raises,
at usual cruising speed. In small, slow-speed
boats, the position between 1/2 and 2/3 of the
ship’s length from the bow is usually a good place.
Refer to the drawing for transducer tank installa-
tion at the end of this manual. The transducer tank
T-615 (code: 000-015-841) should be prepared lo-
cally.
Note: The face of the transducer must be facing the sea bottom in normal cruising trim
of the boat.
2100 data sheet sticker
The transducer is supplied with three data sheet stickers. Remove the stickers from
the base of the transducer cable and attach them at places as follows.
Refer to paragraph 2.2.2, step 9 for detail of attachment.
• [FCV-2103 30M] sticker: to the end of transducer cable.
• [TRANSDUCER DATA] sticker: to the cover of transceiver unit and the back cover
of operator’s manual.
1.4 Trackball Control Unit
The trackball control unit can be installed on a tabletop or flush mounted in a console.
Flush mounting requires the optional flush mount kit.
Installation considerations
• Select a location where the control unit can be operated easily.
• Locate the unit away from heat sources, because heat can build up inside the cab-
inet. Heat build-up can damaged the unit.

procedure on the following page.
Note: The processor unit must be mounted indoors to do this connection because of
reduction in waterproofing.
1. Disassemble the waterproofing cover.
The assembled parts are numbered from 1 to 4. These parts should be installed
in numerical order, as described in this procedure, or the waterproofing rating is
reduced.
2. Pass the cables through the en-
trance of connector cover.
3. Connect the cables to the re-
spective ports.
4. Fasten the six binding screws to
fix the connector cover.
5. Attach the fixing plate 1 to the entrance of the connector cover.
Note: Face the markings outwards.

USB device
The USB1/2 ports are available to connect the USB device, such as a USB flush mem-
ory. In order to maintain waterproof rating, this USB ports should be attached at all
times. The USB3 port is used for maintenance only.
2.1.3 Main monitor
The following FURUNO monitors are available for connection to your FCV-2100: MU-
150HD, MU-190 and MU-190HD. You can use an after-market monitor also. The after-
market monitor should have following display resolutions: XGA, SXGA, Full HD or
UXGA or WUXGA.
In order to maintain waterproofing, use a DVI-D/D S-LINK cable to connect the main
monitor to the DVI-D1 port.
Note: The processor unit must be mounted indoors to do this connection because of
reduction in waterproofing.
1. Attach a spacer tube to the DVI cable.
Open the slit on the spacer tube and set the tube to the DVI cable directly behind
the connector. Secure the spacer tube in place with cable ties (supplied).
2. Disassemble the boot cover.
