FURUNO FE 700 Echosounder[Jan. 25, 2012 23:58:30]
Specification
The FE-700 is a result of 50 years of Furuno' s vast range of experience and advanced microelectronics technology fields in developing echo sounders, sonars, and underwater application equipment and systems. This echo sounder is a breakthrough over the conventional paper eating sounders; there are no consumable items. The purpose of the echo sounder is to provide safe navigation by detecting the clearance below the ship ( particularly in shallow waters) as required on the SOLAS Convention ships by the new IMO standards.
