vi Usage Hints
Please contact JRC or its agent for the electrical
installation of this equipment. Electrical installations
carried out by other than the qualified staff may result in
faulty operation.
Do not store or operate the equipment where subject to
temperatures in excess of 55℃. High temperature may
cause failures.
Do not install the equipment on unstable or unlevel
surfaces. Failure to observe this condition may result in
the equipment falling or toppling over, resulting in injury.
If it is cold, do not move the equipment suddenly into a
warm environment and switch it on. High-voltage leaks
due to condensation may result in damage to the
equipment. In such situations, leave the equipment in
the warm environment for about 30 minutes before
switching it on.
When installing the equipment, securely connect the
earth lead to the earth terminal.
Failure to connect the earth may result in electric shock
in the event of a fault or power leak developing.
CAUTION

Usage Hints vii
CAUTION
Do not turn on the equipment's power when the ship is
in dry docks.
Failure to observe this caution may result in damage to
the transducer, etc.
For safety when the equipment is to be left unused for
an extended period, turn off the power switch.
Do not use thinners, benzene, or other organic solvents

x Explanation of Terms
NMEA0183 : NMEA stands for the National Marine Electronics Association. NMEA0183 is the format used
when sending or receiving depth, position, water temperature, ship speed and other
information between marine equipment.
Bubbling : The phenomenon where the image of the seabed is interrupted due to air bubbles caused by
the ship's hull or the propeller during a voyage.
Beam angle : The angle that sound waves spread out from the transducer. Sound waves spread out in a
conical manner taking the center of the bottom surface of the transducer at the apex of the
cone.
Transducer : Device that emits ultrasonic waves in water and receives the signals reflected off the seabed.
This is equivalent to an antenna on a radio.
IMO : stands for International Maritime Organization
MED : stands for Marine Equipment Directive. This is the directive for marine equipment in Europe.
This directive unifies format approval standards implemented separately by each European
country.
UTC : stands for Universal Time Coordinated.
Explanation of Terms

1. Introduction 1
1. Introduction
1.1 Function
The JFE-582 Echo-Sounder consists of a transducer mounted on the bottom of the ship's hull and a main unit
that displays information on the depth and formation of the sea bottom. This information is gained by using
ultrasonic waves sent from the transducer that are then reflected off the sea bottom and picked up again by
the transducer. The JFE-582 also has the following functions:
(1) depth alarm, (2) power fail alarm, (3) output of depth data, (4) output of depth and power fail alarms.
The recorder uses 150mm-wide paper to show the previous 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or 30 minutes of
historical data. Or the paper can be stopped. One roll of paper can record a maximum of approximately 37
hours continuously. Depth measuring ranges of 10m, 50m, 250m, or 500m can be selected.
1.2 Feature
The JFE-582 features the following:
Conforms to the IMO Standard
• When the depth becomes shallower than a previously set value, a depth alarm is issued by buzzer and
lamp.
• When power is cut to the main unit, a power fail alarm is issued by buzzer and lamp.
• Contact signals can be output for both depth and power fail alarms.
• Data on depths can be output.
Ease of Use
• Knobs are used for illumination controls, allowing them to be readily distinguished from other keys.
• Independent event mark, range, and depth alarm keys for instant operation.
• Remote cancellation of alarm buzzer.
Digital Depth Display
• No need for time-consuming reading of depths using a scale against the profile of the sea floor on the
paper! The current depth can be seen at a glance.
Self-Diagnostic Functions
• Self-diagnostic functions can be selected from a menu, improving ease of maintenance.

3. Installation
When installing the equipment, securely connect the earth lead to the earth terminal.
Failure to connect the earth may result in electric shock in the event of a fault or
power leak developing.
Do not install or operate the equipment where subject to temperatures 55°C or higher
or -15°C or lower.
Failure to observe this caution may result in fire or damage.
Do not install the equipment on unstable or unlevel surfaces. Failure to observe this
condition may result in the equipment falling or toppling over, resulting in injury.
Take care when laying the transducer cable, power cable, and earth lead as
positioning has an affect on electromagnetic interference. There is a risk of interfering
with other equipment or the echo-sounder being interfered with by the other
equipment.
After installing the echo-sounder, turn on the power to all other equipment to check for
interference with or from all the equipment. Interference may cause malfunctions.
