Doppler Sonar Current Indicator

DOPPLER SONAR
CURRENT INDICATOR
Model
High-performance current indicator displays

accurate speed and current data at five depth layers
on a 10.4" color TFT or virtually any VGA
monitor utilizing a Black Box system

Obtain highly accurate water current

measurements using FURUNOs reliable
acoustic technology.
The FURUNO CI-68 is a Doppler Sonar Current
Indicator designed for various types of fish and
hydrographic survey vessels.
The absolute movements of tide

measuring layers are displayed in colors.
The CI-68 displays tide speed and direction at

five depth layers and ships speed on a high definition 10.4 color LCD. Using this information,
you can predict net shape and plan when to
throw your net.
Tide vector for Layer 1
Compact 3-unit design for ease of

installation and maintenance
High definition 10.4" color LCD
Blackbox system configuration
allows for use of optional LCD
monitors
Six display modes to discern tide
movement from a variety of angles
The CI-68 has a triple-beam emission system for

providing highly accurate current measurement.
This system greatly reduces the effects of the
rolling, pitching and heaving motions, providing a
continuous display of tide information.
When ground (bottom) reference is not available
acoustically in deep water, the CI-68 can provide
true tide current information by receiving position
and speed data from a GPS navigator and heading data from the satellite (GPS) compass SC50/110 or gyrocompass. In addition, navigation
information, including position, course and ship s
track, can also be displayed
The CI-68 consists of a display unit, processor
unit and transducer. The control unit and display
unit can be installed separately for flexible installation. A BlackBox configuration (without monitor) is also available. CI-60G users can easily upgrade without drydocking to CI-68 since it uses
the same transducer as the CI-60G.

Tide speed and direction for the fifth depth layers are displayed with vectors.
The depth of each layer can be set manually in 1 m intervals. Other information
such as tide differential between the basic layer and the reference layer,
heading and course can also be displayed in large text.
SHIP'S SPEED
TRACK
Displays the speed

components for fore-aft
and port-starboard.
The synthesized vector
(green line) intuitively shows
drift direction. The speed
source is selectable on
the menu from ground
tracking or water tracking.
Tide vectors can be

shown on the ship's
track in user
specified intervals.
ECHO LEVEL
Displays echogram
obtained from each
beam. It helps evaluate
the concentration or
distribution of fish school
or seabed at three
directions simultaneously.
TIDE LOG
Displays the tide
information over
the past twelve
hours.
