PRE OWNED FURUNO FCV-1200L FURUNO FCV-1200L MARINE ECHO SOUNDER

The Furuno FCV-1200L is a high-performance, dual-frequency color video sounder specifically engineered for the demanding needs of commercial deep-sea fishing and research vessels. Within the Bhavnagar and Alang markets, it is highly sought after for its exceptional power and its ability to distinguish fish targets at extreme depths where standard sounders fail.

FURUNO FCV-1200L COLOR VIDEO SOUNDER

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Furuno FCV-1200L is a "Black Box" style high-power echo sounder that typically utilizes a 10.4-inch high-resolution color TFT LCD. It is renowned for its Free Synthesis (FS) technology, which allows the operator to select any two frequencies between 15 kHz and 200 kHz. This flexibility makes it possible to match the system to any existing transducer on the vessel, optimizing the detection of specific fish species such as tuna, squid, or groundfish.

The FCV-1200L is built for precision, featuring advanced clutter rejection and a high-speed transmission rate that provides a dense, detailed echogram even at high vessel speeds. Its interface is designed for professional use, featuring dedicated knobs for gain and range control, ensuring that the captain can make split-second adjustments during critical fishing operations.

KEY FEATURES & APPLICATIONS

-- Free Synthesis (FS) Transceiver: Unlike fixed-frequency sounders, the FCV-1200L can be tuned to the exact frequency required to find specific fish types, making it a versatile tool for varied fishing seasons.

-- Advanced Mix Mode: Combines high and low-frequency echoes on a single screen to emphasize the differences in target strength, helping to distinguish between small baitfish and larger predators.

-- High-Speed Echo Transmission: Provides a much faster update rate in shallow to medium depths, ensuring that small structures or individual fish are not missed while the vessel is in motion.

-- Standard VGA Video Output: Allows for the easy connection of a secondary, larger bridge monitor, providing the entire crew with a clear view of the sounding data.

-- Rugged Black Box Configuration: The processor can be mounted in a protected area while the display and control head are located at the conning station, maximizing space and protection.

-- Bottom Discrimination: When paired with appropriate transducers, the system provides clear visual feedback on the hardness and composition of the seabed.

TYPICAL CONDITION (USED/REFURBISHED)

Our refurbished FCV-1200L units from the Alang yards undergo a rigorous technical restoration. We focus on the MU-100C monitor unit, checking for backlight consistency and screen integrity. The Processor Unit is tested for stable power output at the 1kW, 2kW, and 3kW levels. We also verify the frequency synthesis logic to ensure the transceiver accurately matches the selected transducer parameters. Every unit is bench-tested with a load simulator and shipped with a factory-reset configuration from our Bhavnagar facility.
