of the hoisting device. When used in excess of the ship speed resistance, the hoisting
device may be damaged and cause an accident.
Hoisting
operation
Ascent 15 knots or less
ship speed
resistance
16 knots
Descent 15 knots or less
• Change electrolytic corrosion-preventing zinc plates annually.
Be sure to perform electrolytic corrosion prevention. If electrolytic corrosion prevention is
not performed, the transducer may fall accidentally or there may be an influx of seawater
into a dome, in the worst case.
For the transducer
The transducer of this sonar system is filled with castor oil inside. This castor oil may steep
from the transducer cable due to outside temperature change, but it does not affect the
performance.
For preventing damage at sea
When the transducer or the hoisting device is damaged at sea, the sonar system cannot
be used, accordingly, the operation or safe navigation is sometimes hindered.
Furthermore, it takes a large amount of time and cost to exchange and repair the
transducer or the hoisting device.
In order to prevent these accidents from occurring, store the transducer by performing the
following operations when conditions are as described below.
1. Condition
1) Sea condition with many float and drift
2) The case of getting out of an encircling net by a lightship of round haul netter fleet
3) A shallow place where ropes or wires are set up under seas
4) During an anchorage of a ship
2. Transducer storage operation
1) Press the ascent key of the hoisting device of the controller and store the transducer.
2) During ascending, an arrowhead “” is indicated in upper right of the screen and the
display bar of the hoisting amount is gradually reduced.
3) When the transducer is stored and the hoisting device goes up to the upper limit, the
upper limit message is displayed and the hoisting device stops.

viii
On the battery·electric cell exchange
In this instrument, a battery is used to have clock function. Perform exchange of a
battery periodically.
Be sure to change any expired batteries. If you leave a battery unchanged, there is
a risk of smoking and ignition.
<Target of exchange>
As to a battery, the target life is set to about two years as a standard. When the battery is
used under a high temperature, the life becomes shorter.
<Exchange method>
As to the exchange of a battery, make contact with our service staff.
Batteries are valuable and recyclable resources. In changing batteries and used
product disposal, cooperate in recycling.

ix
Fan Motor Replacement
This system is designed to prevent internal temperature increase in the processor,
receiver and transmitter by installing fan motors in them. If those fan motors are not
working, an increase in the internal temperature of those devices may cause their
malfunction. The outlets of the fans, therefore, should be inspected regularly to check
that the fan motors are working properly.
Although the service life of the fan motors in general is 50,000 hours, it varies depending
on the use environment. For this reason, fan motors must be replaced periodically.
<How to Replace>
For replacement of the motor fans, please contact our service staff.

be set in the range of 0.0 to 10.0. The gain is raised by the gain key or lowered by
the gain key . The gain is adjusted such that the fish shoal echo clearly appears on
the screen and the noise is minimized. In addition, this instrument executes the gain
control of TVG and if the distance is increased, the gain is automatically increased. By
virtue of this, fish shoals at both long distance and short distance are displayed similarly
on the screen.
1. 2. 5. Tilt Adjustment
The tilt is adjusted by the tilt keys and of the controller. The tilt can be set by 1
(degree) in the range of from +3(upward direction from the horizontal direction) to -60
(downward direction from the horizontal direction). The tilt is adjusted to upward direction
by the tilt key or adjusted to downward direction by the tilt key . It is adjusted to
the direction where you want to search fish shoals.
As for the tilt operation, there are 4 modes: manual, auto, one and track.
1. 2. 6. Range Adjustment
The range can be adjusted with the range keys and keys of the controller.
The range key is used to set a longer distance range, and the range key is used
to set a shorter distance range.
