SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Do not open the equipment.
Hazardous voltage which can
cause electrical shock exists
inside the equipment. Only
qualified personnel should
work inside the equipment.
Immediately turn off the power at the
switchboard if water leaks into the
equipment or something is dropped in
the equipment.
Continued use of the equipment can cause
fire or electrical shock. Contact a FURUNO
agent for service.
Do not disassemble or modify the
equipment.
Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can
result.
Do not place liquid-filled containers on
the top of the equipment.
Fire or electrical shock can result if a liquid
spills into the equipment.
Do not operate the equipment with wet
hands.
Electrical shock can result.
Keep heater away from equipment.
A heater can melt the equipment's power
cord, which can cause fire or electrical
shock.
Immediately turn off the power at the
switchboard if the equipment is emitting
smoke or fire.
Continued use of the equipment can cause
fire or electrical shock. Contact a FURUNO
agent for service.
Make sure no rain or water splash leaks
into the equipment.
Fire or electrical shock can result if water
leaks in the equipment.
Use the proper fuse.
Fuse rating is shown on the equipment.
Use of a wrong fuse can result in equipment
damage.
WARNING

ii
CAUTION
Do not exceed 18 knots when operating
the equipment and do not exceed 16
knots when lowering or raising the
transducer.
The transducer may become damaged.
The zinc block attached near the
transducer must be replaced yearly.
The junction between the transducer and
main shaft may corrode, which can result
in loss of the transducer or water leakage
inside the ship.
Do not use the equipment for other than
its intended purpose.
Personal injury can result if the equipment
is used as a chair or stepping stool, for
example.
Do not place objects on the top of the
equipment.
The equipment can overheat or personal
injury can result if the object falls.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, do not
remove cover. No user-serviceable
parts inside. TYPE：86-003-1011-0
CODE No.：100-236-230

FOREWORD
A Word to CSH-23F/24F Owners
Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO CSH-23F/24F Color Scanning Sonar.
We are confident you will see why the FURUNO name has become synonymous with
quality and reliability.
For over 50 years FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for
quality marine electronics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our
extensive global network of agents and dealers.
This equipment is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the
marine environment. However, no machine can perform its intended function unless
operated and maintained properly. Please carefully read and follow the recommended
procedures for operation and maintenance.
We would appreciate hearing from you, the end-user, about whether we are achieving
our purposes.
Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO equipment.
Features
The CSH-23F/24F is a full-circle, multibeam electronic color scanning sonar which
detects and displays fish schools on a 15/21 inch non-glare, high-resolution color CRT.
Also, the CSH-23F has two types of models: a model with display unit and a model with
processor unit and no monitor (monitor is supplied by user).
The main features of the CSH-23F/24F are
• Vivid 16-color, echo strength dependent display for improved recognition of seabed,
fish school concentration, distribution and volume.
• Memory card for storage and replay of sonar picture (whole screen or echo inside
estimate mark), net shooting data, ship’s track, tidal current data, etc.
• Function keys for customized operation.
• Menu-driven operation with help screen.
• Wide variety of display modes: normal sonar picture, echo sounder combination,
historical display combination, port/starboard display, horizontal slice, target slice,
and unique vertical scanning.
• Various marks and alphanumeric fishing information for intuitive operation.
• Remote control box for armchair control of major functions.
• High power MOS FET transmitter for reliable operation.
• Automatic screen degausser

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
Turning the Power On/Off
Turning the power on
Press the ON switch on the main panel. The lamp above the
switch should light. If it doesn’t press the TX switch on sub
panel 1.
Turning the power off
Retract the transducer with the cswitch and then press the OFF
key on the main panel.
Note:The transducer isautomatically retractedinto thetank even
if the OFF switch is pressed before retracting the transducer.
However, make it a habit to retract the transducer before turning
off the power.
Adjusting Screen Brilliance, Control Panel Backlighting
The BRILL control adjusts screen brilliance, and the DIM con-
trol adjusts control panel backlighting. These controls are on the
lower part of the main panel.
Lowering the Transducer
Press dor dswitch. The lamp above the
switch blinks during lowering of the trans-
ducer and lights when the transducer is
completely lowered. In normal use fully
lower the transducer. The transducer ex-
tends *1200 mm below the ship’s hull, pro-
vidingstable andcavitation-free soundings.
If the transducer may become entangled in
the net, after shooting the net, for example,
partially raise the transducer with the d
switch. This raises the transducer by 400
mm (transducer extends *800 mm from
ship’s hull).
*Hull unit with 1600 mm (full) and 1200
mm (mid) protrusions are also available.
CAUTION
Do not exceed speed noted in the speci-
fications when operating the equipment
or lowering or raising the transducer.
The transducer may become damaged.
Do not press the cswitch during
lowering of the transducer, and do not

Selecting a Display Mode
The CSH-23F/24F provides three display modes: normal sonar
picture, echo sounder (E/S) combination, and history display
combination. Those modes may be selected with the NORM, E/
S and HIST keys.
Table 2-1 Display mode description
Mode Description
The sonar picture appears over the entire screen.
This mode is useful for detecting and tracking fish
schools.
The default display area is 1.3 times
the range, but it can be changed to
1.6 times the range on "EXT KP/TM
DSP" in the SYSTEM menu.
Navigation information can be
displayed in the text window at
the screen bottom by turning on
"DATA DISPLAY" in the USER
menu.
Normal scanning picture appears on the upper 5/8
of the screen and the signal fed from the echo
sounder on the lower 3/8. This mode is suitable for
judging fish school concentration.
When two echo sounders are connected, each
pressing of the E/S key alternately selects echo
sounder 1 or echo sounder 2.
Note that a net recorder can be connected as echo
sounder 2; select it on the "ES" sub menu in the
INIT SET/TEST menu.
Normal scanning sonar picture appears on the upper
5/8 of the screen and the history display on the
lower 3/8. Three types of history displays are
available: Audio, Port/Starboard and Horizontal
Slice. You can select which one to display on the
USER menu.
