documented by FURUNO ELECTRIC CO., LTD.,
complying with ISO 9001 standards as certified
by the Lloyd s Register of ualityAssurance
System.
The FURUNO FE-700 is comprised of display
unit and transducer unit. Echo sounding data is
displayed on the bright 6.5-inch color TFT Thin
Film Transistor LCD display.
The main features of the FE-700 are
1. Complies with the IMO and ISO standards
MSC.74 69 Anne 4 and ISO9875.

featuring a wide viewing angle and adustable
brightness.
4. Wide variety of modes with never-get-lost
default position.
5.Automatic function permits unattended
ad ustment of range, gain, and pulselength.
The range scale and gain automatically
change to display the bottom.
6. Position, course, speed, time are repeated
from the e ternal devices.
7.Alarms shallow water, bottom lost, power
drop
8. The dual fre uency display can be shown by

FE-700 system configuration
The FE-700 uses ultrasonic pulses to detect the seabed and other underwater obects. The display unit
contains all basic electric circuits and logic processor. Electrical pulses are converted into acoustical
energy in the transducer fitted on the ships hull. The processor measures the time of pulses travelling
between the seabed and transducer and displays the water depths in the graphical form or other forms.
The transducers have a specific beam width with respect to their working fre uency, 50 k or 200 k .
The high fre uency has a narrow beamwidth and is immune to aeration when the ship is going astern or in
rough weather. The low fre uency has a wide beamwidth and more powerful sounding capability.
