Description

Ref. Page.

AUTO RETRACT

Turns automatic transducer retraction on/off and sets

 

speed (5-16) at which retraction occurs. This function

 

 

requires speed data.

 

 

The transducer may be retracted at a speed different from

 

 

set here if the speed data is wrong. Reduce the ship’s

 

 

speed below 16 knots and then retract the transducer.

 

SPEED MESSAGE

Turns on/off ship’s speed warning message.

8-6

EXT KP SYNC

Turn on when using external keying pulse.

AUTO TRAIN SPD

Chooses scanning speed of bearing mark; high or low.

 

High speed is useful for general searching and tracking

 

 

fast moving fish schools.

 

AUTO TILT SPD

Chooses the speed of tilt change in automatic tilting from

 

high or low.

 

UNIT

Chooses unit of depth and distance measurement among

 

meters, feet, fathoms, passi/braza.

 

 

Note: The unit of measurement is fixed for some menu

 

 

items (for example, draft). When the unit is changed,

 

 

echosounder range and shift are reset to 0 (zero).

 

SHIP’S SPD/BR

Chooses source of speed and course data with which to

 

draw ship’s track. The choices are log/gyrocompass,

 

 

current indicator, nav data and gyro+nav data.

 

LOG PULSE

Chooses log pulse/mile specification of speed log; 200 or

 

400 pulses/mile.

 

PORT1 BAUD

Sets baud rate of equipment connected to port 1, among

RATE

2400, 4800, 9600 and 19200 (bps).

 

PORT1 FORMAT

Sets format of equipment connected to port 1; NMEA or

 

CIF (Furuno).

 

PORT2 BAUD

Sets baud rate of equipment connected to port 2, among

RATE

2400, 4800, 9600 and 19200 (bps).

 

PORT2 FORMAT

Sets format of equipment connected to port 2; NMEA or

 

CIF (Furuno).

 

NAV DATA

Chooses source of nav data among GPS, LC (Loran C),

 

DR (Dead Reckoning) or ALL. “ALL” automatically chooses

 

 

source in the order of GPS, Loran C and dead reckoning.

 

COMBI SCALE

Chooses the location of the depth scale and distance scale

5-6

 

in the combination displays, right or left side.

 

SUB TEXT INDI

For use by service technicians. Normally turn this

 

indication off.

 

LANGUAGE

Choose the language to display among English, Japanese,

 

Korean and several European languages.

 

TEST

Chooses the test to execute.

8-6

SET TO DEFAULT

Restores all default settings, including controls. Choose

 

this item and then press the [EVENT] key to restore all

 

 

default settings.

CSH-5L/CSH-8L specifications

Furuno CSH-5L and CSH-8L are advanced marine radar systems known for their cutting-edge technology and user-friendly interfaces. Designed primarily for maritime applications, these radar units cater to a wide range of vessels, from commercial ships to fishing boats. The primary distinguishing feature of the CSH-5L and CSH-8L radar systems lies in their ability to provide high-resolution images and precise detection of targets, ensuring navigational safety and operational efficiency on the water.

One of the standout technologies incorporated into both models is the pulse compression technique. This feature significantly enhances target resolution and minimizes blind spots, allowing the radar to detect smaller objects at greater distances. With the CSH-5L and CSH-8L's powerful signal processing capabilities, users can expect exceptional performance even in challenging weather conditions, ensuring reliable operation during storms or fog.

The CSH-5L model operates at a frequency range of 5 GHz, while the CSH-8L uses an 8 GHz frequency. Both radars are equipped with a rotating antenna that provides a wide coverage range, allowing for efficient monitoring of the surrounding marine environment. Their high sensitivity and low noise levels enhance target detection, making them particularly useful for locating small fishing vessels or buoys.

Another important characteristic of the Furuno CSH-5L and CSH-8L is their user-friendly interfaces. Both models feature intuitive controls, allowing operators to adjust settings easily and access critical information quickly. The displays are designed for clarity, enabling users to distinguish between targets and navigate effectively.

Additionally, the radar systems include advanced features such as automatic target tracking and target acquisition capabilities. This functionality allows users to monitor multiple targets simultaneously, providing essential situational awareness for safe navigation. The CSH-5L and CSH-8L also support integration with other onboard systems, including ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System), which enhances the overall effectiveness of maritime navigation.

In summary, the Furuno CSH-5L and CSH-8L radar systems represent the forefront of marine radar technology, offering exceptional detection capabilities, user-friendly controls, and robust integration options. Their advanced features ensure that mariners can navigate confidently, making them a vital asset for anyone operating in the marine environment.
