The FSV30BB is a groundbreaking scanning sonar using Furuno’s revolutionary signal processing technology and hardware expertise. Furuno’s first-rate technologies bring about outstanding omni-direction searches with long range detection all around the vessel horizontally and vertically. This means that the operator will not miss any important target echo. These features perfectly suit virtually all types of fishing vessels including trawlers and purse seiners.

A variety of presentation modes are available for efficient fishing: a single full-circle scan, a dual full-circle scan, and the combination of full-circle and single vertical scan/ dual vertical scan/ echo sounder presentation or historical presentation.

Furuno's advanced acoustic technologies give a crystal clear presentation free from unwanted echoes. Sidelobe Suppression Technology (SST) eliminates mimic echoes from the sidelobe. Thus, the display clearly distinguishes between the mimic echoes from the main beam. In addition, the stabilization system maintains the sonar beam at a desired angle with less effect of pitching and rolling. The FSV30BB allows the skipper to observe a stable target echo throughout the catching process of detection, net shooting and hauling.

The FSV30BB consists of an ergonomically designed control unit, processor unit, transceiver unit, and revolutionary spherical transducer unit. The compact transceiver unit allows space-saving installation, while the BlackBox configuration allows for a Furuno or conventional LCD display unit. The transducer tank is common to the CSH- 20/21/23/23F for reducing time of installation.

New Spherical Transducer
Furuno’s advanced acoustic technology produced the revolutionary spherical transducer which allows 360-degree horizontal searches and 0 to 90 degree, blind-spot-free. vertical searches at all range. This transducer enables the FSV30BB to suit virtually all types of the fishing vessels.

Transducer elements
This transducer consists of hundreds of highly sensitive elements, which achieve high efficiency in energy conversion. This ensures detection with small output power compared with other spherical transducer types. This low power consumption of the FSV30BB makes their transceiver unit compact, offering space-saving installation.

Multi-frequency transmission and reception: 21-27 kHz
This new transducer element has another unique feature; .multi-frequency transmission and reception.. This allows the FSV-30/30S to conduct multi-frequency scans with
