OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

Turning the Power On/Off

Turning the power on

Press the ON key on the main panel. The lamp above the key should light. If it doesn’t press the TX switch on sub panel 1.

Turning the power off

Retract the transducer with the c key and then press the OFF key on the main panel.

Note: The transducer is automatically retracted into the tank even if the OFF key is pressed before retracting the transducer. How- ever, make it a habit to retract the transducer before turning off the power.

Adjusting Screen Brilliance, Control Panel Backlighting

The BRILL control adjusts screen brilliance, and the DIM con- trol adjusts control panel backlighting. These controls are on the lower part of the main panel.

Lowering the Transducer

Press d(full) or d(mid) key. The lamp above the key blinks during lowering of the transducer and lights when the transducer is completely lowered. In normal use fully lower the transducer. The transducer extends 1200 mm* below the ship’s hull, providing stable and cavitation-free soundings. If the transducer may become entangled in the net, after shooting the net, for example, partially raise the transducer with the d(mid) key. This raises the transducer by 400 mm (trans- ducer extends 800 mm* from ship’s hull).

*: Hull unit with 800 mm (full) and 450 mm (mid) protrusion is also available.

CAUTION

Do not exceed speed noted in the speci- fications when operating the equipment or lowering or raising the transducer.

The transducer may become damaged.

Do not press the c switch during lowering of the transducer, and do not press the d or d switch during raising of the transducer.

The equipment may become damaged.

MODEL CSH-73 specifications

The Furuno MODEL CSH-73 is a cutting-edge marine radar that embodies innovative technology and exceptional performance, designed specifically for commercial vessels and professional mariners. This model represents a significant advancement in radar capabilities, enhancing both navigational safety and operational efficiency.

One of the standout features of the CSH-73 is its compact design paired with a high-resolution display. The radar boasts a 12.1-inch color LCD screen that provides a crisp and clear view, allowing operators to easily identify targets and navigate in challenging conditions. The intuitive user interface facilitates quick access to essential radar functions, making it user-friendly even for those who may not be experts in radar operation.

A notable technological advancement in the CSH-73 is its digital signal processing (DSP) technology, which dramatically improves target detection capabilities, especially in adverse weather conditions. This technology helps to filter out noise and clutter, enabling the radar to provide accurate readings and reliable targeting information. The advanced target tracking capabilities allow users to monitor multiple vessels simultaneously, enhancing situational awareness.

In addition to its impressive detection capabilities, the CSH-73 features an Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (ARPA), which aids in collision avoidance by tracking the course and speed of approaching vessels. This sophisticated system simplifies decision-making for the crew, promoting safer navigation.

Another key innovation is the integration of Ethernet and NMEA 2000 connectivity. This feature enables seamless integration with other onboard systems, such as chart plotters and autopilots, creating a comprehensive navigation network. This connectivity allows for real-time data sharing, which enhances the overall operational effectiveness of the vessel.

The CSH-73 is also equipped with a range of customizable settings, allowing mariners to tailor the radar display to their specific needs and preferences. Features such as adjustable gain, sea clutter, and rain clutter suppression enhance the radar's performance under various environmental conditions.

Constructed with durability in mind, the CSH-73 adheres to robust marine standards, ensuring reliable performance even in the harshest maritime environments. This resilience is crucial for commercial vessels that regularly operate in challenging conditions.

In summary, the Furuno MODEL CSH-73 stands out as a powerful tool for enhancing maritime safety and navigation. Its advanced technologies, user-friendly interface, and durable construction make it an essential component for modern vessels, providing mariners with the confidence they need to operate effectively in any navigational scenario. The CSH-73 continues to uphold Furuno's reputation for excellence in marine electronics, making it a trusted choice for professionals worldwide.
