FOREWORD  
A Word to FCV-582L Owners  
Features  
Congratulations on your choice of the  
FURUNO FCV-582L Color LCD Sounder.  
We are confident you will see why the  
FURUNO name has become synonymous  
with quality and reliability.  
The FURUNO FCV-582L is a dual-frequency  
(50 kHz and 200 kHz) color LCD sounder.  
Comprised of a display unit and a transducer,  
the FCV-582Ldisplays underwater conditions  
in 16 colors (including background) on a  
bright 6.5-inch color TFT (Thin Film Tran-  
sistor) LCD.  
For over 50 years FURUNO Electric Com-  
pany has enjoyed an enviable reputation for  
innovative and dependable marine electron-  
ics equipment. This dedication to excellence  
is furthered by our extensive global network  
of agents and dealers.  
The main features of the FCV-582L are  
• Compact design permits installation where  
space is limited.  
• Bright 6.5-inch color LCD with tempera-  
ture compensated tone and brilliance con-  
trol.  
This equipment is designed and constructed  
to meet the rigorous demands of the marine  
environment. However, no machine can per-  
form its intended function unless operated and  
maintained properly. Please carefully read and  
follow the recommended procedures for op-  
eration and maintenance.  
• Wide variety of display modes: bottom  
lock, dual frequency, marker zoom, bottom  
zoom, nav data and graphic display.  
• Automatic function permits unattended  
adjustment of range and gain. The range  
scale and gain automatically change to dis-  
play the bottom in reddish-brown on the  
lower half of the screen.  
• Navigation data display (requires naviga-  
tion data input from external navigator)  
provides position, course, speed, depth,  
temperature and waypoint data indications.  
• Alarms: Bottom, Fish (bottom-lock, nor-  
mal), Temperature (within, over range set).  
• A-scope display discriminates bottom fish,  
vital for bottom trawler and trap users.  
• Universal 10.2–31.2 VDC power supply  
consuming less than 20 W power.  
We would appreciate hearing from you, the  
end-user, about whether we are achieving our  
purposes.  
Thank you for considering and purchasing  
FURUNO equipment.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION  
The FCV-582L determines the distance be-  
tween its transducer and underwater objects  
such as fish, lake bottom or seabed and dis-  
plays the results on its screen. It does this by  
utilizing the fact that an ultrasonic wave trans-  
mitted through water travels at a nearly con-  
stant speed of 4800 feet (1500 meters) per  
second. When a sound wave strikes an un-  
derwater object such as fish or sea bottom,  
part of the sound wave is reflected back to-  
ward the source. Thus by calculating the time  
difference between the transmission of a  
sound wave and the reception of the reflected  
sound wave, the depth to the object can be  
determined.  
The entire process begins in the display unit.  
Transmitter power is sent to the transducer as  
a short pulse of electrical energy. The electri-  
cal signal produced by the transmitter is con-  
verted into an ultrasonic signal by the  
transducer and transmitted into the water.Any  
returning signals from intervening objects  
(such as a fish school) are received by the  
transducer and converted into an electrical sig-  
nal. The signals are then amplified in the am-  
plifier section, and finally, displayed on the  
screen.  
The picture displayed is made up of a series  
of vertical scan lines, one for each transmis-  
sion. Each line represents a snapshot of what  
has occurred beneath the boat. Series of snap-  
shots are accumulated side by side across the  
screen, and the resulting contours of the bot-  
tom and fish between the bottom and surface  
are displayed.

increments of 0.1 nm, shows cross-track er-  
ror, the dird/Xion and distance the boat is off  
course. In the example below the XTE marker  
(red) shows the boat is off course by 0.2 nm

1.6 Selecting Display Range  
The basic range may be shifted with the [+]  
and [–] keys. The shift display window, which  
appears when the [+] or [–] key is operated,  
shows current shift amount. Note that the  
SHIFT keys and RANGE control are inop-  
erative in automatic operation.  
The basic range and range shifting functions  
used together give you the means to select the  
depth you can see on the screen. The basic  
range can be thought of as providing a “win-  
dow” into the water column and range shift-  
ing as moving the “window” to the desired  
depth. Note that the RANGE control is inop-  
erative in automatic operation. (See the next  
page for details.)

Note: The maximum shift range is 2500 feet  
(500 m). However, the actual range will de-  
pend on underwater conditions. In the worst  
case echoes will not appear.

1.7 Adjusting the Gain  
The GAIN control adjusts the sensitivity of  
the receiver. Adjust the control so that a slight  
amount of noise remains on the screen. Gen-  
erally, use a higher gain setting for greater  
depths and a lower setting for shallower wa-  
ters. Note that the GAIN control is inopera-  
tive in automatic operation.

1.8 Automatic Operation  
1.9 Selecting Picture Advance  
Speed  
Automatic operation is useful when you are  
preoccupied with other tasks and do not have  
time to adjust the display.  
The picture advance speed determines how  
quickly the vertical scan lines run across the  
screen. When selecting a picture advance  
speed, keep in mind that a fast advance speed  
will expand the size of the fish school hori-  
zontally on the screen and a slow advance  
speed will contract it.  
How it works  
The automatic function automatically selects  
the proper gain and range scale according to  
depth. It works as follows:  
1. Press the ZOOM and SIG LEV keys to-  
gether. The following display appears.  
• The range changes automatically to locate  
the bottom on the lower half of the screen.  
It jumps to one step shallower range when  
bottom echoes reach a halfway point of the  
full scale from top and to one step deeper  
range when they come to the lower edge  
of the scale.  
• The gain is automatically adjusted to dis-  
play the bottom echo in reddish-brown (de-  
fault color arrangement).  
ADVANCE  
STOP  
1/16  
1/8  
1/4  
1/2  
1/1  
2/1  
• Clutter level (on the User menu), which  
suppresses low level noise, is automatically  
adjusted.  
Figure 1-20 Picture advance  
speed selection display  
The fractions in the menu denote number  
of scan lines produced per transmission.  
For example, 1/8 means one scan line is  
produced every 8 transmissions. STOP  
freezes the display and it is convenient for  
observing an echo.  
Two types of automatic modes  
Two types of automatic modes are available:  
cruising and fishing. Cruising is for tracking  
the bottom; fishing is for searching fish  
schools. Since cruising uses a higher clutter  
rejection setting than fishing, it is not recom-  
mended for fish detection – weak fish echoes  
may be deleted by clutter rejection.  
2. Press the [] or [] key to select speed  
desired.  
How to enable automatic operation  
1. Push the GAIN control. The auto mode  
display appears.

2.5 TVG Level  
2.6 Echo Offset  
TVG (Time Varied Gain) compensates for  
propagation attenuation of the ultrasonic  
waves. It does this by equalizing echo pre-  
sentation so that fish schools of the same size  
appear in the same density in both shallow  
and deep waters. In addition, it reduces sur-  
face noise. Note that if the TVG level is set  
too high short range echoes may not be dis-  
played.  
The echo offset feature functions to compen-  
sate for too weak or too strong echo level. If  
the on-screen echo level appears to be too  
weak or too strong and the level cannot be  
adjusted satisfactorily with the GAIN control,  
do the following to adjust echo level:  
1. Turn on the power while pressing any key.  
2. Press the SIG LEV key three times. The  
start-up screen appears and shortly there-  
after the ECHO OFFSET display appears.

INTERPRETING THE DISPLAY  
3.1 Zero Line  
3.3 Bottom Echo  
The zero line (sometimes referred to as the  
transmission line) represents the transducer’s  
position, and moves off the screen when a  
deep phased range is used.  
Echoes from the bottom are normally the  
strongest and are displayed in reddish-brown  
color (in default color arrangement) but the  
color and width will vary with bottom com-  
position, water depth, frequency, sensitivity,  
etc.  
Zero  
line  
In a comparatively shallow depth, a high gain  
setting will cause a second or sometimes a  
third or a fourth echo to be displayed at the  
same interval between them below the first  
echo trace. This is because the echo travels  
between the bottom and the surface twice or  
more in shallow depths.  
Shift  
The color of the bottom echo can be used to  
help determine the density of the bottom ma-  
terials (soft or hard). The harder the bottom,  
the wider the trace. If the gain is set to show  
only a single bottom echo on mud, a rocky  
bottom will show a second or third bottom re-  
turn. The range should be chosen so the first  
and second bottom echoes are displayed when  
bottom hardness is being determined.  
Figure 3-1 Zero line  
3.2 Fish School Echoes  
Fish school echoes will generally be plotted  
between the zero line and the bottom. Usu-  
ally the fish school/fish echo is weaker than  
the bottom echo because its reflection prop-  
erty is much smaller compared to the bottom.  
The size of the fish school can be ascertained  
from the density of the display.

3.4 Surface Noise/Aeration  
Surface noise  
Caused by  
aerated water  
When the waters are rough or the boat passes  
over a wake, surface noise may appear near  
the zero line. As surface turbulence is acous-  
tically equivalent to running into a brick wall,  
the bottom echo will be displayed intermit-  
tently. Similar noise sometimes appears when  
a water temperature difference (thermocline)  
exists. Different species of fish tend to prefer  
different temperature zones, so the ther-  
mocline may be useful to help identify target  
fish. 200 kHz tends to show shallow ther-  
moclines better than 50 kHz.  
Thermocline  
In rough waters the display is occasionally in-  
terrupted due to below-the-ship air bubbles  
obstructing the sound path. This also occurs  
when the boat makes a quick turn or reverses  
movement. Lowering the picture advance  
speed may reduce the interruption. However,  
reconsideration of the transducer installation  
may be necessary if the interruption occurs  
frequently.
