Attention:
The Navigation Echo Sounder is operated by ship's command only.
Summary
The Furuno FE 800 echo sounder displays the clearance below the ship in dual frequency operation when interfaced with two transducers. The FE-800 generates alerts when the water depth below transducer is shallower than a preset depth. When the seabed is lost due to the lowered power supply or out of range scale, an alert is generated.
