7. Tips on Demo Mode 

The FCV-600 and FCV-800 are New Fish Finders replacing the FCV-628 and FCV-588. While the conventional

models have been utilized in a variety of market segments from compact recreational boats to coastal, commercial

fishing boats, these new models offer more features with the latest technology, which have been developed for the

built-in Fish Finders of NavNet TZtouch3 series MFDs and GP-1871F/1971F.

1. Improved Visual Impression

1.1. Piano Black Screen with Keypad

Upscale impression from front panel:

The display consists of the piano black front panel

covered with glass in combination with the keypad.

Their appearance is consistent with the recently released

TZT9F/12F from NavNet TZtouch3 series MFDs and

FR-10/12 Radar displays.

Easy-to-press keys:

The rubber keys on the keypad are reclined upward or downward to be easily pressed.

Robust rotary knob:

The FCV-600 and FCV-800 are equipped with a robust rotary knob, which can be used to

easily adjust the gain and menu items.

1.2. Bright LCDs with Improved Screen Resolutions

FCV-600

While the LCD type of 5.7” models have evolved from FCV-620 (QVGA: 320×240) to FCV-627 and FCV-628 (VGA:

640×480), the new FCV-600 maintains the clear screen resolution of VGA (640×480) with an improved

screen brilliance from 800 to 1000 cd/㎡.

FCV-800

While the LCD type of 8.4” models have had the screen resolution of VGA (640×480) with the FCV-585/587/588, the

new FCV-800 has an improved screen resolution of SVGA (800×600) with 800 cd/㎡ of brilliance. This

improved screen resolution and brilliance offers excellent visibility of echoes and structure while fishing.

2. Clear Underwater View and Color Presentation

2.1. TruEcho CHIRP™ and CW

Clear images by TruEcho CHIRP™, which have been available with larger screen models, are now available on

compact standalone models in addition to conventionally supported CW transducers.

TruEcho CHIRP™

Transducer: B150M, 300 W, 95-155 kHz

(Central: 125 kHz)

The gain is manually adjusted to show a plankton layer

slightly shown. Fish targets at the middle to the bottom

layers are individually shown in sharp echoes.

Transducer: 520-5PSD, 600 W, 50/200 kHz

(Screenshot from Single Frequency Mode –HF)

The gain is adjusted to have the same background echo at

the plankton layer as the screenshot from CHIRP. Fish

targets are well detected but not as sharp as CHIRP.

Note:

When only a CW transducer (50/200 kHz) is available

onboard for retrofit from previous models, you may enjoy

sharp images with RezBoost™. RezBoost™has been

utilized since the FCV-628/588 and TZTL12F/15F were

introduced in 2015 and is available with the new FCV-600

and FCV-800. See Sales Bulletins FSB16-0007 and

FSB16-0008 for details of RezBoost™.

Example –FCV-800 in Dual Frequency Mode

2.2. New Colors – Sunlight and Yellow

Two (2) new color scheme options are added to offer enhanced visibility under bright sunlight conditions.

Sunlight

This new color has been added to the GP-1871F/1971F V4.0 and TZT9F/12F/16F/19F V3.01. The

green-based color offers good visibility under sunlight and is available with the FCV-600 and FCV-800.

Yellow

This is another solution to secure good visibility under bright sunlight. The yellow-based color is clearly

visible like conventional Radar echoes and available in Fish Finders for the first time with the FCV-600 and

FCV-800.

Yellow (New)

C.F., White (Conventional)

Notes:

(1) While adding new colors to the FCV-600 and

FCV-800, some colors are removed compared

to the previous models. The table at right

previous models.

(2) The Blue color looks different between new and

previous models due to LCD characteristics.

The Blue color on the FCV-600 and FCV-800

looks the same as the GP-1871F/1971F V4.0

and TZT9F/12F/16F/19F V2.01, as well as

models such as FCV-1900.

2.3. Color Expand

Color Expand mode has been added to the GP-1871F/1971F V4.0 and TZT9F/12F/16F/19F V3.01 and later software

versions, and is now available with the FCV-600 and FCV-800. With the conventional color range, strong echoes from the

seabed and a big school of fish were shown in the similar color, i.e., brown to dark red. With new Color Expand mode,

when the strength of echoes from the seabed and fish is slightly different, they are displayed in separate

colors so that you can intuitively identify the fish over the seabed.

In the following example, the FCV-800 shows echoes from the fish reef area off the coast of Kobe. With the new

presentation of Color Expand, the seabed and fish reef structures are shown in slightly separated colors.

Fish targets above the fish reef or above the seabed are also shown in different colors. The relationship

between the seabed, structures, and fish are intuitively identified at a glance.

Color Expand –ON (NEW)

Color Expand –OFF (Conventional)

Color: White

Color Expand mode works fine in

combination with new color

schemes.

In this example, Sunlight color is

assigned. Similar to the cases of

GP-1871F/1971F and TZT9F/12F/

16F/19F, fish targets around the

seabed and fish reefs can be easily

found on the screen.

Color Expand mode is shown in

Yellow color scheme. While strong

echoes are shown in graduated

colors between yellow and green,

the difference between the seabed,

fish reefs, and fish targets are easily

identified.

Note:

This color presentation is available in the Manual Gain mode only.

Note and Tips – Appropriate Occasions of Color Expand

In deep waters, where echoes are weaker than shallow areas, Color Expand mode may show hard targets such as

seabed and a big school of fish in light colors: Targets at the surface to middle layer, which has weaker echoes, will be

shown in lighter colors and may not be intuitively identified as fish targets. In such cases, turn off Color Expand mode

to show in the conventional presentation mode.

The following example shows the echo presentation at deeper water than the comparison shots above.

Transducer : TM165HW

Depth : 100 m

Color Expand: ON

Color: Sunlight

Color Expand: OFF

Color: Sunlight

Color Expand: OFF

Color: Yellow

Color Expand: ON

Color: Yellow

Color Expand – OFF (Conventional)

Color Expand – ON (NEW)

While the seabed is presented in dark brown colors,

targets at the surface layer are shown in

red/yellow/orange colors, so that you may identify a

school of bait fish.

The seabed is shown in light color. The echo at the surface

layer is in light blue, which looks like noise rather than a

bait ball.

2.4. Preset Frequency

A maximum of three (3) frequencies can be

preset: In [Menu] –[Sounder] –[CHIRP

Preset], set [TX Mode], [Center Frequency],

and [CHIRP Width] of both HF and LF. The

frequency can be preset for the following

purposes.

Suitable frequency by fish type

Avoid interference with other boats

Lower frequency for deeper detection

Higher frequency for higher resolution

TX Mode

Descriptions

Auto CHIRP

While the range becomes deeper, the center frequency will be shifted to the lower side

automatically and the CHIRP width becomes narrower.

Manual CHIRP

CHIRP transmission will be processed referring to the preset center frequency.

CW transmission will be processed referring to the preset center frequency.
