The main features of this unit are as follows: This unit is a multi-frequency echo sounder with broadband transducers. With a simple operation on a menu, frequencies up to 4 can be optionally set within a wide range. With digital reception processing, the high resolution in shallow depth and the noise reduction capability in deep depth are both attainable. In addition, optimum images can be displayed by the auto mode function. The high-performance LCD maintains high visibility under any conditions. With adoption of a special filter (AR coated), images can be seen clearly even under the direct sunlight. Well protected against reflection on the LCD screen and dew condensation. This unit has high waterproof level and can be installed in an open bridge. Sona-ToneTM (Sonar sound) function provides fish school status by sound.. Up to 500 graphic images can be stored. Homing function is available by pushing event key while recalling the stored images, to provide navigation guidance to the designated position (optional GPS is required). Various alarm functions are available (Bottom, school of fish, water temperature*, vessel speed*, arrival*, XTE*, power source). (Note: The mark * denotes that the connection of optional sensors is required) By flush mounting, the unit can be easily installed from the front side. RGB analog output to an external monitor is provided as standard. The use of external monitor enables to observe the echo sounder images from the place distant from the main unit (External monitor is owner supply). 0093101112-02 vii CV VS-FX1 Chhapter 1 Preparation P n Chapte er 1 Pre eparation 1.1 To use key ys Ke ey board off CVS-FX1 14 1 2 3 NO O. 1 [BRILL 4 5 6 Key Nam me ] 2 [SHIFT T/ M OFF] 3 4 5 [▲SHIF FT▼] [▲RAN NGE▼] [NORM MAL/ZOOM] 6 [GAIN-L/SEL] k (Gain knob) 7 [GAIN-R/SEL] k (Gain knob) 8 [CM1] • • • [CM6] 9 [F1] (Fu unction key 1) 10 0 [F2] (Fu unction key 2) 11 1 [SUB MENU] M 12 2 [CURSOR]▲ ▼ 13 3 [MENU U] 009 93101112-02 7 15 16 8 9 10 11 12 13 Descriptio on Press: Power P on.

Relation between a transceiver and display screen For CVS-FX1, there are two types of transceiver for high frequency and low frequency, and each transceiver has two channels of channel 1 and channel 2. High frequency 1 is the channel 1 for high frequency. High frequency 2 is the channel 2 for high frequency. Low frequency 1 is the channel 1 for low frequency. Low frequency 2 is the channel 2 for low frequency. 2. Limitation in setting of high and low frequencies: In the case of a broadband transducer, the cable at high frequency side of the transducer shall be connected to the high frequency terminal and the cable at low frequency side of transducer shall be connected to low frequency terminal. The frequency range to be set has the following limitations per transducer. Name of transducer TDM-052 TDM-062 Frequency range of low frequency 38 to 75 kHz 38 to 75 kHz Frequency range of high frequency 130 to 210 kHz 85 to 135 kHz Caution: If the frequency setting exceeds the ranges above, gain will not be enough to let the transducer perform to the designated specification. When the other transducer than broadband type is connected, please connect the cable for low frequency of the transducer to the low frequency terminal and the cable for high frequency of the transducer to the high frequency terminal, and set the designated frequency of the transducer. 3. 4. 5. Simultaneous transmission and reception*1 and alternate transmission and reception*2 Two transceivers for high frequency and low frequency transmit and receive simultaneously, and the channel 1 and channel 2 of each transceiver operate in alternate transmission and reception. When the same frequency is set for high frequencies 1 and 2 or low frequencies 1 and 2, alternate transmission and reception do not operate. Transmission and reception are performed by only channel 1 and the image is displayed using the channel 1 data by the channel 2 gain setting. The conditions when alternate transmission and reception can operate even when the same frequency is set for channels 1 and 2: If pulse width is different If frequency bandwidth is different If range is different. If shift is different. If the types of display zoom is different. *1 Simultaneous transmission and reception: Each transmitter and receiver for high frequency and low frequency operates simultaneously. *2 Alternate transmission and reception: Channels 1 and 2 of high frequency and channels 1 and 2 of low frequency transmit and receive alternately by each channel.

The main purpose is to identify small fish, such as whitebait, from other fish school. There are 5 types for mixing methods and they are switchable in application. Types of mixed images: 1. Mix type A Images in high frequency and low frequency are compared. The red level signal indicates high frequency images. For the signal at lower level than that, the high frequency signal is displayed in gray color. As fish schools with strong high frequency signal are highlighted, this is helpful for identification of fish schools near own boat’s position. 2. Mix type B Only when high frequency signal is stronger than low frequency signal, the low frequency signal is subtracted from the high frequency signal, and the difference is displayed with color gradation. The images existing only in high frequency are highlighted. Small fish such as whitebait can be displayed in high frequency, but not in low frequency. This is helpful, therefore, for identification of schools of small fish. 3. Mix type C Images in high frequency and low frequency are compared. The red level signal indicates high frequency images. For the signal at lower level than that, only when the high frequency signal is stronger than the low frequency signal, the low frequency is subtracted from the high frequency and the difference is displayed with color gradation. Strong signal with high frequency and images only in high frequency are highlighted. This is helpful, therefore, for identification of fish school near own boat and school of small fish such as whitebait. 4. Mix type D Signals of images of high and low frequencies are compared, and the stronger signal is displayed with color gradation. This is completely combined image of high and low frequencies. Without viewing of each of high and low frequencies images, only this one image can tell the conditions in water. 5. Fish size in fish school size Comparing signals of high and low frequencies, only signal with higher level of high frequency is displayed as difference in the order of strength, from red (strongest) to greenish yellow with color gradation. Low frequency images are indicated in greenish yellow to light blue with color gradation and the mixed image of them is displayed. For example, when high frequency is 200 kHz, the wavelength of underwater acoustic wave is 0.75 cm, and when low frequency is 50 kHz, the wavelength of underwater acoustic wave is 3.0 cm. In the image of low frequency 50 kHz, fish smaller than 3 cm is hardly detected. As school of small fish such as whitebait is clearly displayed in high frequency signal with short wavelength, only school of small size fish is displayed in warm color from red to greenish yellow in fish school mode. By this, it is easy to identify smaller size than 3.0 cm. 0093101112-02 2-15 Chapter 2 Basic op peration CVS S-FX1 To display y mixed images: 1. Press [C CM] key use ed (Lights re ed).

This change of pulse length causes changes in resolution of images from the echo sounder and the signal to be displayed changes. Shorter pulse length increases resolution, but its power decreases. Other way around, longer width decreases resolution but increases power. By this nature, the pulse length is switched depending on the range: to Short (narrow) at shallow range and to Long (wide) at deep range, except for the case of setting at [Fixed]. When pulse length is switched: 1. For the setup up of pulse length, based on the setup at [Medium] as reference, at [short], the pulse length is switched to the same pulse length as [Medium] pulse length with 1/2 of the range used, and at [Long], to the same pulse length as [Medium] pulse length with 1.5 times of the range used. When signals in images of fish are not visible at the range used, setup at [Short] increases small response, and setup at [Long] highlights larger response while decreasing small responses. 2. When pulse length is set at [Fixed], the width is constant regardless of switching of range. Please set at [Fixed], to avoid change of response from fish by switching of range. To select pulse length: 1. Press [CM] key (lights red) used. When CM1 is lit red, press [CM1] key . 2. CM menu is displayed. 3.

The change of frequency bandwidth results in change of the resolution of echo sounder and change of signals in the displayed images. If the frequency bandwidth is wide, the resolution becomes high. Other way around, if it is narrow, resolution becomes low. By this nature, the frequency bandwidth is switched depending on the range: to wide at shallow range and to narrow at deep range, except for the case of setting at [Fixed]. When frequency bandwidth is switched: 1. For the setup up of frequency bandwidth, based on the setup at [Wide] as reference, at [Medium], the bandwidth is switched over to the same bandwidth of [Wide] bandwidth that is 1.5 times of the range used, and at [Narrow], to the minimum bandwidth. When size of target fish matches the frequency wavelength in use, setup up at [Medium] or [Narrow] highlights the images and increase visibility. When pulse length is set at [Short] and frequency bandwidth at [Narrow], response smaller than wavelength is reduced and noise reduction effect is expected. 2. When frequency bandwidth is setup at [Fixed], the bandwidth is constant regardless of switching of range. To select frequency bandwidth: 1. Press [CM] key (lights red) used.

For gain adjustment, there are two modes: individual mode and synchronized mode. In the individual mode, the gain is adjusted individually on a selected operation screen. In synchronized mode, the gain on all screens are adjusted all together by one gain adjustment knob after gain adjustment is optimized individually for each screens. In the synchronized gain, the gain of all screens change keeping the gain difference between screens. On CVS-FX1, the gain of all screens including images in the past changes by operation of the gain knobs. Also, it can be switched to a mode in which only the gain of the current image changes, to watch changes by the gain operation. If the gain is increased too much, there is too much noise to make distinctions with signs of fish. If the gain is decreased too much, images and fish signs become too faint to distinguish. Adjust the gain to your preference while watching the image. <Example of gain adjusted images> Too low Appropriate Too high For gain adjustment (individual) per screen: 1.

This is done by having room for gain adjustment, in reference to the diffusional attenuation and absorption attenuation of ultrasonic sound. By optimized TVG, unnecessary reflection such as noise is eliminated, and necessary reflection from single fish and fish schools is clearly displayed at the same sensitivity regardless of their depth. As optimized TVG always corrects optimized TVG, no adjustment is basically needed. Only fitting to a desired gain with a gain knob is required. However, when it is felt that the gain is short due to the excess correction of TVG for shallower range, please adjust to a desired gain by changing the [Adjust]. <Example of optimized TVG images> Without TVG Optimized TVG When adjustment is needed due to excess TVG correction for shallower range: There are two ways of TVG adjustment: to adjust in the main menu and to assign [F1]/[F2] keys to adjust by the function keys. 0093101112-02 2-57 Chapter 2 Basic op peration CVS S-FX1 To adjust TVG Adjus st in main menu: m MENU] key 1.

In the TVG correction for CVS-FX1, a reference point of depth for correction is to be determined. This reference point is [TVG Depth]. Reflected signals from a shallower depth than this reference point are corrected to have the same sensitivity as that of the reference point. In [Strength], the amount of change in this correction is set. The larger the value of [Strength] becomes, the larger the amount of change becomes. (See the figure below) For reflected signals from shallower positions, amount of correction becomes larger. When [Strength] is set large, the correction amount for shallow depth may seem too much. In such cases, if the [Adjust] is set at the depth at which correction seems too much, the correction amount at shallower depth than the depth becomes the same as the correction amount at the starting position, and can set off the over correction. Setting should be performed in combination of the items above. Adjustment of TVG strength of manual TVG: [TVG Strength] decides the amount of change for TVG correction. The larger the value of [TVG Strength] is, the bigger the amount of change is. Change in TVG correction by change in strength (Depth 140 m/Adjust 1 m) TVG correction (-dB) 0 10 20 30 40 50 0 20 40 60 Depth (m) 80 1 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 100 120 140 The far left side line is Strength 1 and the far right side line is Strength 50 in the graph. 0093101112-02 2-65 Chapter 2 Basic operation CVS-FX1 Adjustment of TVG Depth of manual TVG Adjustment of TVG Adjust (start point) of manual TVG [TVG Depth] is the reference point of depth for correction. The deeper the setup becomes, the wider the correction range becomes. [TVG Adjust] adjusts the excessive correction by TVG against shallow signals, making the amount of correction at the point shallower than the start point to be the same correction amount at the start point. Change in TVG correction by change in depth (Strength 50/Adjust 1 m) Change in TVG correction by change in adjust (Strength 50/Depth140m) TVG correction (-dB) 0 10 20 30 TVG correction (-dB) 40 50 0 0 0 20 20 40 40 60 Depth (m) 80 140m 120m 100m 80m 60m 40m 20m Depth (m) 80 100 100 120 120 140 140 The far left line is at correction depth 20 m, and the line at far right is at correction depth 140 m in a graph. 2-66 60 10 20 30 40 50 60m 50m 40m 30m 20m 10m 1m The far left line is at correction depth 60 m, and the line at far right is at correction depth 1 m in a graph. 0093101112-02 CVS-FX1 Chapter 2 Basic operation 2.3 Changing of the image scroll speed The image scroll speed can be changed at 14 steps of [Speed -2], [Speed -1], • • • [Stop], [Speed 2], • • • [Speed 9]. The larger the speed number is, the slower the image scroll speed becomes. The image scroll speed of echo sounders is faster for shallow ranges and slower for deeper ranges depending on the display ranges. When the image speed at shallow ranges seems too fast, [Image Speed] is used to make the speed slower. When sea bottom is bedrock and has strong reflection strength, the multipath reflection between seawater surfaces remains as reverb and may display false image*1. To eliminate the false images, the image scroll speed may be slowed down to wait the next transmission and reception until the reverb disappears. The scroll of images can be stopped. Speed 0 : The image scroll speed is 2 times faster by enlarging the original image 2 times. Speed -2: The image scroll speed is 4 times faster by enlarging the original image 4 times. To change image scroll speed: 1. Press [Image Speed] key . [Image Speed] adjustment box is displayed. Speed -2 Speed -1 Speed 0 Speed 1 Speed 2 Speed 3 Speed 4 Speed 5 Speed 6 Speed 7 Speed 8 Speed 9 4 times faster 3 times faster 2 times faster 1.5 times faster Normal speed The image speed becomes slow in order. To speed up image scroll speed: 1. While [Image Speed] adjustment box is displayed, press [Image Speed] key . Move upward the cursor, and [Image Speed] is set to a faster speed. *1False image: When sea bottom material is bedrock with high reflection ratio of ultrasonic sound, the reflected signals at the sea bottom are reflected by the seawater surface and again by the sea bottom. This may be repeated many times. This repeat of reflection remains as reverb. If the reverb remains at the next transmission and reception, the image is a mixture with normal reflection and the reverb. This reverb is called as false images. 0093101112-02 2-67 Chapter 2 Basic operation CVS-FX1 To stop image scroll: 1.

This can be also used as an indication of depth for casting net, etc. VRM can display the second VRM set at a certain interval under the first VRM. This second VRM follows the movement of the first one with the interval. This can be used as a measure for depth of casting net. There are two modes: to display on only one screen of the 4 frequencies and to display across the all 4 screens.

Setting TVG 2. Shortening pulse length and narrowing frequency bandwidth 3. Setting [Color Erase] function 4. Setting [IR] (Interference rejection) function When TVG is effective: In order to erase the response from dust and plankton at shallow depth of the displayed screen, setting TVG is effective. TVG can be set in two ways, [Optimized TVG] and [Manual TVG]. In the case of setting in [Optimized TVG], the images are clear with less interference noise down to water depth of approximately 100 m. As for the setting of [Optimized TVG], see “To use of optimized TVG”, p 2 - 57. By setting [Manual TVG], noise reduction setting is possible to preference. As for the setup of [Manual TVG], see “To adjust with manual TVG”, p 2 - 60. When shortening pulse length and narrowing frequency bandwidth are effective: When the range used is less than 100 m and the response from dust and plankton on whole screen is to be erased, it would be effective to set the pulse length at [Short] and the frequency bandwidth at [Narrow]. By this setting, fine images such as dust and plankton are erased. It can be used for highlighting of images of aimed fish and erasing of response smaller than those. As for the setup of [Pulse Length], see “2.1.5 Selection of pulse length”, p 2 - 19. As for the setup of [Frequency Bandwidth], see “2.1.6 Selection of frequency bandwidth”, p 2 - 22. When [Color Erase] is effective: When the response from dust and plankton displayed in light bluish color is to be erased, it is effective to use [Color Erase] function.

For example, it is possible to switch the setting for seine fishing to the setting of squid fishing with one touch of a key button. CVS-FX1 is equipped with six [CM] keys, so can be used as if six units of echo sounders were used at a time. [CM] key has three major functionality: Switching screen mode Switching all settings with one touch of a button (setting values for each fishing method can be memorized, recalled and switched with one touch of a button) Usually it is used for switching screen modes, and when the type of fishing is changed, a particular setting can be switched to the other setting with one touch of a button, if specific values are memorized. Please proceed to the corresponding pages for the functionality of your interest. To use as a switching key of screen modes: Types of screen (4-frequency, 2-frequency, Single-frequency, Zoom) are switched over frequently. Settings of menu, shift and gain, etc. are not decided.
