PRE OWNED JRC JFE-380 JRC JFE-380 MARINE ECHO SOUNDER

The JRC JFE-380 is a professional-grade echo sounder that meets the latest IMO standards for depth-sounding equipment. It features a high-brightness 6.5-inch color TFT LCD that provides a clear, high-contrast display of the seabed and digital depth numerals. One of its standout features is the built-in printer (optional) and internal memory, which can store up to 24 hours of depth data, ensuring the vessel stays compliant with navigational record-keeping requirements without the need for paper echograms.

The system is designed with a "no-moving-parts" approach to the display and processor, which significantly increases the mean time between failures (MTBF). It supports both 50 kHz and 200 kHz transducers, providing the flexibility to operate in deep-sea conditions or high-resolution coastal environments. Its compact, flush-mount design allows for seamless integration into modern bridge consoles.

KEY FEATURES & APPLICATIONS

-- Paperless Data Management: The internal memory stores a rolling 24-hour log of depth, time, and position data. This information can be retrieved and reviewed on-screen to satisfy Port State Control inspections.

-- Dual Data Display: Displays the echogram and digital depth simultaneously, with a clear "Safe Depth" indicator that alerts the bridge team when approaching hazardous waters.

-- Draft and Trim Adjustment: Allows for the manual input of the ship’s draft, enabling the display to show the depth-below-keel or depth-below-surface accurately.

-- External Printer Interface: Supports an optional external printer for vessels that still require a hard-copy echogram for their official records.

-- High-Performance Signal Processing: Features advanced filtering that eliminates noise from aeration and hull vibration, ensuring a steady bottom lock even in rough sea states.

-- Flexible Transducer Options: Compatible with a variety of JRC transducers, allowing for easy retrofit on vessels already equipped with JRC cabling.

TYPICAL CONDITION (USED/REFURBISHED)

Our refurbished JFE-380 units from the Alang recycling yards undergo a rigorous technical validation. We verify the transceiver sensitivity to ensure the 500W output is firing correctly and the receiver can pick up weak echoes in deep water. The 6.5-inch TFT LCD is tested for color accuracy and backlight longevity. We also check the NMEA 0183 output ports to ensure they are providing stable DPT strings for VDR and ECDIS integration. Every unit is factory-reset and provided with a detailed test report from our Bhavnagar facility.
