The FURUNO CSH-8L is a full-circle scanning sonar that
rapidly detects and displays individual sh, sh schools and
changing underwater conditions. Fish distribution and
seabed conditions in 360 degrees around your vessel are
shown in 16 colors.
The CSH-8L is an 85 kHz high frequency sonar, which makes
it ideal for searching near the vessel or in shallow water
because the beam width is narrow and target denition is
greatly improved. Fish and bottom echoes are clearly sepa-
rated and bait sh are more easily seen. Automatic tilt scan-
ning is a standard feature, making the CSH-8L suitable for
The transducer of a scanning sonar consists of many elements to transmit the echo in all directions simultaneously without
rotating the transducer. The echo is redrawn on the display instantaneously according to the latest feedback from the
transducer. Thus a sonar that can scan quickly will greatly improve the shing operation especially for searching/following
the fast swimming sh.
The CSH-8L completes 0.54 second/scan while the conventional
PPI sonar*1takes 32 seconds to train full circle under the same
range/conditions*2. About 60 times more information are provided
than PPI sonar. Fast scanning lessens the chance of missing a
small change in the current situation. This is especially helpful
when range and tilt require frequent adjustment while shing, offer-
ing no frustration on redrawing time.
*1 CH-250 PPI sonar, training at 6° steps.
*2 Based on 400 m range in combination display mode.
Scanning Sonar shows the actual situation 360 degrees around the
vessel, and will give all the necessary information as needed. No more
blind areas to consider, allowing the operator to concentrate on the tilt,
range, shing area, etc.
What is a Scanning Sonar?
both midwater trawlers and purse seiners.
The CSH-8L is provided in a BlackBox conguration for a
space saving and exible installation. It consists of a compact
hull unit, transceiver unit and processor unit. A variety of
monitors are available considering the installation space and
necessary size for operation. FURUNO’s MU-display series
monitors are specially designed to meet the requirement from
marine professionals around the world. For a remote station,
a second display and remote control can be simply plugged
into the processor unit.

There are three basic operating modes: normal sonar display (single scan), Echo sounder combination (single scan
and echo sounder) and Audio combination (single scan and audio pictures).
The control unit of CSH-8L combines ergonomics and functions in a user-friendly manner. All controls quickly
respond to the operator’s command and the associated reaction can be seen on the screen immediately. Four
user-dened functions can be assigned to Function keys (F1 to F4), providing for rapid setup and operation.
The optional
remote controller
provides armchair
control of the tilt,
range and gain.
Sonar Display
Navigation data can be displayed
in the text window, with connec-
tion of appropriate sensors.
This mode is useful for detecting
and tracking sh schools.
Sonar + Audio
Sonar picture appears on the left
and the audio display at the lower
right side of the screen. This
mode is useful analyzing echoes
in a desired area.
Clear target presentation and discrimination
A horizontal view with minimum tilt angle, scanning
sonar displays a vertical slice through the water.
With its advanced detecting performance, the
CSH-8L clearly discriminates the columns of bridge
underwater.
Sonar + echo sounder*
The sonar picture appears on the
left and the signal fed from the
echosounder at the lower right
side of the screen. This mode is
suitable for judging sh school
concentration.
