speed, keep in mind that a fast advance speed
will expand the size of the fish school horizon-
tally on the screen and a slow advance speed
will contract it. A fast advance speed is useful
for observing the rugged bottom minutely. A
slow advance speed is useful for observing the
smooth bottom.

1.16 Alarms
The FCV-620/585 have six conditions which
generate both audio and visual alarms: bottom
alarm, normal fish alarm, bottom lock fish alarm,
water temperature alarm, speed alarm and
arrival alarm. (The water temperature, speed
and arrival alarms require appropriate sensors.)
To silence the buzzer press any key.
Principle of fish size
Returning echoes at the center of the trans-
ducer beam are used in fish size calculation.
Fish for size calculation are taken from the 200
kHz beam and their size is calculated from their
strengh found with the 50 kHz beam. In the
example below, only the fish at the center of the
figure is used for size calculation.
Bottom alarm: The bottom alarm alerts you
when the bottom displayed in red or reddish
brown echo is within the alarm range set. To
activate the bottom alarm the depth must be dis-
played.
50 kHz
200 kHz
Fish (normal) alarm: The fish (normal) alarm
tells you when an echo above a certain strength
(selectable) are within the preset alarm range.
See page 13 for alarm level setting.

lock) alarm sounds when fish are within a cer-

TVG: The fish schools of the same size are dis-
played in different color between in deep water
and in shallow water because of the feature of
the ultrasonic waves. TVG compensates for
propagation attenuation of the ultrasonic waves.
It does this by equalizing echo presentation so
that fish schools of the same size appear in the
same density in both shallow and deep waters.
The gain is adjusted automatically depending
on the depth. The gain is low at short distance
and getting back with increasing distance. High
provides the greatest degree of gain reduction
against short range echoes. Note that this func-
tion is operative when manual is selected on the
GAIN knob.

Smoothing: Smoothes echo presentation
when enabled. Adjust the setting when echoes
appear “spotty”.
White Line: Displays the leading edge of the
bottom echo in white. This is useful for discrimi-
nating bottom fish from bottom. The setting
range is 0 to 50 % in intervals of five. The larger
the numeric, the wider the white line width.
TX Power: Interference may appear on the
screen when an echo sounder having the same
frequency as your own is being operated in the
vicinity of your vessel. In this case, lower your
TX power and contact the vessel to request
them to reduce their TX power. The higher the
numeric the greater the TX power. The "Auto"
setting automatically adjusts TX power with
depth. Note that this function is only operative
when Fish Info and Fish Symbols in the Display
menu are off. When Fish Info and Fish Symbols
are on, the TX power mode is “Auto”.
White Marker: Displays the chosen echo color
in white.
1. Choose White Marker in the Sounder menu
and press the ENTER key.

TX Rate: Changes pulse repetition rate. Nor-
mally, the highest rate (10) is used. When in
shallow waters second reflection echoes may
appear between surface and actual bottom
echo. In this case, lower the TX rate level.
The choice "S" means the ship's speed depen-
dent mode, where the TX rate changes auto-
matically with ship's speed. (Requires ship's
speed input.)

4.1 Display Unit
Note: When loosening the knob to adjust the
angle of the display, do not decline the unit
90-degree backward. The cable connector
may be damaged if it contacts the bracket.
Mounting considerations
The display unit can be installed on a tabletop
or flush mounted in a panel. When choosing a
location keep the following in mind:
6. Attach the hard cover to the display unit.
• The temperature and humidity should be
moderate and stable.
Flush mounting in a panel
• Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes
and vents.
Note: It is recommended to set up a dedi-
cated breaker when flush mounting the unit,
since it will be difficult to disconnect cables.
• The mounting location should be well venti-
lated.
• Mount the unit where shock and vibration
are minimal.
1. Using the paper template (supplied), make
a cutout in the mounting location.
2. Loosen four washer head screws on the
rear of the display unit to remove the
bracket cover and the cover sponge (FCV-
585 only).
• For maintenance and checking purposes,
leave sufficient space at the sides and rear
of the unit and leave slack in cables.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the
display unit is placed too close to it.
Observe the following compass safe dis-
tances to prevent disturbance to the mag-
netic compass:

4.2 Thru-hull Mount
Transducer

Transducer mounting location
The thru-hull mount transducer (520-5PSD,
520-5MSD) provides the best performance of
all, since the transducer protrudes from the
hull and the effect of air bubbles and turbu-
lence near the hull skin is reduced. When the
boat has a keel, the transducer should be at
least 30 cm away from it. Typical thru-hull
mountings are shown in the figure on the next
page.

The performance of this sounder is directly
related to the mounting location of the trans-
ducer, especially for high-speed cruising. The
installation should be planned in advance,
keeping the standard cable length (8 m) and
the following factors in mind:

Acceptable transducer mounting
locations
• Air bubbles and turbulence caused by
movement of the boat seriously degrade
the sounding capability of the transducer.
The transducer should, therefore, be
DEEP-V HULL
located in a position where water flow is the
smoothest. Noise from the propellers also
adversely affects performance and the
transducer should not be mounted nearby.
The lifting strakes are notorious for creating
acoustic noise, and these must be avoided
by keeping the transducer inboard of them.
z
Position 1/2 to 1/3 of the hull
from stern.
• The transducer must always remain sub-
merged, even when the boat is rolling,
pitching or up on a plane at high speed.
z
15 to 30 cm off center line
(inside first lifting strakes.)
HIGH SPEED-V HULL
• A practical choice would be somewhere
between 1/3 and 1/2 of the boat's length
from the stern. For planing hulls, a practical
location is generally rather far astern, so
that the transducer is always in water
regardless of the planing attitude.

4. Apply a sufficient amount of high quality
caulking compound to the top surface of

stuffing tube and inside the mounting hole
(and fairing blocks if used) to ensure water-
tight mounting.

5. Mount the transducer and fairing blocks
and tighten the locking nuts. Be sure that
the transducer is properly oriented and its
working face is parallel to the waterline.
Procedure for installing the thru-hull
mount transducer
Note: Do not over-stress the stuffing tube and
locking nuts through excessive tightening,
since the wood block will swell when the boat
is placed in the water. It is suggested that the
nut be tightened lightly at installation and
retightened several days after the boat has
been launched.
1. With the boat hauled out of the water, mark
the location chosen for mounting the trans-
ducer on the bottom of the hull.
2. If the hull is not level within 15° in any
direction, fairing blocks made out of teak
should be used between the transducer
and hull, both inside and outside, to keep
the transducer face parallel with the water
line. Fabricate the fairing block as shown
below and make the entire surface as
smooth as possible to provide an undis-
turbed flow of water around the transducer.
The fairing block should be smaller than
the transducer itself to provide a channel to
divert turbulent water around the sides of
the transducer rather than over its face.
Transducer preparation
Before putting the boat in water, wipe the face
of the transducer thoroughly with a detergent
liquid soap. This will lessen the time neces-
sary for the transducer to have good contact
with the water. Otherwise the time required for
complete "saturation" will be lengthened and
performance will be reduced.
DO NOT paint the transducer. Performance
will be affected.

4.3 Transom Mount
Transducer
The transom mount transducer is very com-
monly employed, usually on relatively small I/
O or outboard boats. Do not use this method
on an inboard motor boat because turbulence
is created by the propeller ahead of the trans-
ducer.

4.4 Inside-hull Transducer
3. Adjust the transducer position so the trans-
ducer faces right to the bottom.
The thru-hull mount transducer (520-5PSD,
520-5MSD) may also be installed inside the
hull, following the procedure below.
If necessary, to improve water flow and
minimize air bubbles staying on the trans-
ducer face, incline the transducer about 5°
at the rear. This may require a certain
amount of experimentation for fine tuning
at high cruising speeds.
Necessary tools
You will need the following tools:
• Sandpaper (#100)
• Silicone sealant
• Silicone grease
4. Fill the gap between the wedge front of the
transducer and transom with epoxy mate-
rial to eliminate any air spaces.

Remarks on installation
• Turn off the engine and anchor the boat
while installing the equipment.
Transducer
• Install the transducer in the engine room.
• Except for installing the transducer to the
bottom of hull, do not turn on its power so it
may be damaged.
Silicone

Choosing the mounting location
• The mounting location should be where the
hull is of single-hull thickness and is void of
air or flotation materials other than solid
fiberglass between the transducer face and
the water.
Coating transducer face with silicone sealant
4. Press the transducer firmly down on the
hull and gently twist it back and forth to
remove any air which may be trapped in
the silicone sealant.
• The mounting location is between 15 to 50
cm from the centerline of the hull.
• Do not place the transducer over hull struts
or ribs which run under the hull.
Silicone
Sealant
Hull
• Avoid a location where the rising angle of
the hull exceeds 15°, to minimize the effect

Mounting location on single drive boat
1. Using a straight edge, sight the underside
of the sensor relative to the underside of
the hull. The stern of the sensor should be
1-3 mm (1/16-1/8") below the bow of the
sensor or parallel to the bottom of the hull.
Note 4: For twin drive boat, mount between
the drives.
Installation of bracket
1. Cut out the installation template (enclosed
with transducer) along the dotted line.
2. At the selected location, position the tem-
plate, so the arrow at the bottom is aligned
with the bottom edge of the transom. Being
sure the template is parallel to the water-
line, tape it in place.
Note: Do not position the bow of the sensor
lower than the stern because aeration will
occur.
2. To adjust the sensor's angle relative to the
hull, use the tapered plastic shim provided.
If the bracket has been temporarily fas-
tened to the transom, remove it. Key the
shim in place on the back of the bracket.

3. If the bracket has been temporarily fas-
tened to the transom, remove it. Apply a
marine sealant to the threads of the three
#10 x 1-1/4" self tapping screws to prevent
water seeping into the transom. Screw the
bracket to the hull. Do not tighten the
screws completely at this time.
2. Insert the sensor's pivot arms into the slots
near the top of the bracket.
3. Maintain pressure until the pivot arms click
into place.
4. Rotate the sensor downward until the
bottom snaps into the bracket.
5. Close the retaining cover to prevent the
accidental release of the sensor when the
boat is underway.
4. Repeat step 1 to ensure that the angle of
the sensor is correct.
Note: Do not position the sensor farther into
the water than necessary to avoid increasing
drag, spray, and water noise and reducing
boat speed.
Cable routing
Route the sensor cable over the transom,
through a drain hole, or thorough a new hole
drilled in the transom above the waterline.
5. Using the vertical adjustment space on the
bracket slots, slide the sensor up or down
to provide a projection of 3 mm (1/8”).
Tighten the screws.
Never cut the cable or remote the connector;
this will void the warranty. Always wear safety
goggles and a dust mask.
Cable cover
1. If a hole must be drilled, choose a location
well above the waterline. Check for
obstructions such as trim tabs, pumps, or
wiring inside the hull. Mark the location
with a pencil. Drill a hole through the tran-
som using a 19 mm or 3/4" bit (to accom-
modate the connector).
