  • Variable frequency function enables quick escape from surrounding ships interference
  • Digital processing technology presents clear fish echo in all detection range
  • Six Conditional Memory keys will totally recall pre-set parameters instantly with your finger tip
  • Simple keys and dials with colored back light keyboard will support intuitive operation
  • Your own display (supports XGA resolution) can be connected by RGB

Features

Adanced sounding

The JFC-180 is an innovative, blackbox echo sounder which is capable of displaying 4 different frequencies at the same time, providing the operator greatly enhanced fish detection. It is easier to differentiate between the various fish species, large shoals of fish and the seabed, resulting in better targeted catches and contributing to conservation of fish stocks.

  • Advanced 3 kW transducer
  • Black box design
  • Dedicated keyboard
  • XGA display resolution output
  • Flexible interfacing
  • Digital signal processing technology
  • Simultaneous display of four frequencies
  • One touch memory buttons
  • Long range detection
  • Energy saving mode

Quad frequency

You can select four frequencies within the range of broadband transducer. Flexible selection of frequencies by 0.1 kHz step enables the user to stay away from interference with the sounders on other vessels.

Zooming

Users can zoom by any range. After setting the zoom image, the normal image is indicated above and the zoomed image is displayed at the bottom part of the screen. The example on the right is focussed from the sea bottom, showing the depth upwards, which is especially useful for trawler vessels.

Languages

The JFC-180 allows the operator to switch between English, Japanese, Chinese, French, Greek, Italian, Korean, Spanish and Thai.

Operation

Settings

With the Conditional Memory (CM) keys you can personalize and set your preferred display mode. A professional user can set up to 4 different frequencies at the same time, type of echo display, pulse length, bandwidth zoom display and gain. Novice operators can select from many auto functions such as range, shift, gain, transmit power and white line.

Keyboard

The color backlit keyboard makes operating the echo sounder easy and straightforward. A USB and SD card slot at the side of the keyboard allows saving images (screenshots), waypoints and backing up your settings.

Heave compensation

In rough ocean conditions with high waves, the JFC-180 can correct the up and down (attitude) movement. This function is standard available but requires an external connection to for example the JRC GPS compass (JLR-21). This is especially useful for fishing vessels where high waves can be compensated to accurately display the depth of the fish echo or to even the sea bottom.
