E/S

Description

The sonar picture appears over the entire screen. This mode is useful for detecting and tracking fish schools.

The default display area is 1.3 times the range, but it can be changed to

1.6times the range on "EXT KP/TM DSP" in the SYSTEM menu. Navigation information can be displayed in the text window at

the screen bottom by turning on

"DATA DISPLAY" in the user menu.

Normal scanning picture appears on the upper 5/8 of the screen and the signal fed from the echo sounder on the lower 3/8. This mode is suitable for judging fish school concentration.

When two echo sounders are connected, each pressing of the E/S key alternately selects echo sounder 1 or echo sounder 2.

Note that a net recorder can be connected as echo sounder 2; select it on the "ES" sub menu in the INIT SET/TEST menu.

Normal scanning sonar picture appears on the upper 5/8 of the screen and the history display on the lower 3/8. Two types of history displays are available: Audio and Port/Starboard.

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.
