SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
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.
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.
Do not open the equipment.
Hazardous voltage which can
cause electrical shock exists
inside the equipment. Only
qualified personnel should
work inside the equipment.
WARNING
Keep heater away from equipment.
A heater can melt the equipment’s power
cord, which can cause fire or electrical
shock.
Use the proper fuse.
Fuse rating is shown on the equipment.
Use of a wrong fuse can result in equipment
damage.
Do not operate the equipment with wet
hands.
Electrical shock can result.

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.
Use of the equipment as a stepping stool,
for example, may result in personal injury
or equipment damage.
Replace the monitor when the picture
becomes difficult to see.
The average life of the monitor is about
10 years. Replace it when the picture be-
comes difficult to see, to protect vision.
A warning label is attached to the equip-
ment. Do not remove the label. If the
label becomes soiled or illegible, contact
a FURUNO agent or dealer.

FOREWORD
AWord to CSH-23/24 Owners
Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO CSH-23/24 Color Scanning Sonar.We are
confident you will see why the FURUNO name has become synonymous with quality and
reliability.
For over 40 years FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for qual-
ity marine electronics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our exten-
sive 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 op-
eration 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 FURUNO CSH-23/24 Color Scanning Sonar is a full-circle, multibeam electronic scan-
ning sonar which detects and instantaneously displays fish schools and underwater condi-
tions in 16 colors on a 15/21" non-glare, high resolution CRT screen.
The main features of the CSH-23/24 are
• Vivid 16-color display provides intuitive recognition of seabed and concentration, distri-
bution and volume of fish schools.
• Markers and indications keep the operator abreast of fishing conditions.
• Remote control box provides for armchair control of major functions.
• New gain, range or tilt setting appears in large characters whenever corresponding con-
trol is adjusted.
• Function keys automatically setup the equipment to perform specific task.
• High power MOS FET transmitter ensures reliable operation under any condition.

OPERATIONALOVERVIEW
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
switch on the main panel.
Note:The transducer is automatically retracted into the tank 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-
ducerand lights when the transducer iscom-
pletely lowered. In normal use fully lower
the transducer. The transducer extends
*1200 mm below the ship’s hull, providing
stable and cavitation-free soundings. If the
transducermay become entangled in the net,
after shooting the net, for example, partially
raise the transducer with the dswitch.This
raises the transducer by 400 mm (transducer
extends *800 mm from ship’s hull).
*Hullunit with 1600mm (full)and 1200mm
(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
press the d or dswitch during raising
of the transducer.
The equipment may become damaged.

2-2
Selecting a Display Mode
TheCSH-23/24 provides three displaymodes: normal sonar pic-
ture, echo sounder (E/S) combination, and history display com-
bination. 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.
