Renowned for its exceptional target separation and bottom discrimination, the FCV-1200L reveals what other sounders miss, turning raw data into actionable intelligence on the water.
Key Features & Benefits
1. Superior Bottom Discrimination & Target Clarity
-
Feature:Â Advanced CHIRP (Compressed High-Intensity Radar Pulse) and Furuno’s proprietary signal processing.
-
Benefit:Â Provides crystal-clear resolution to distinguish between hard and soft bottoms, identify individual fish close to the seabed, and even detect subtle thermoclines. This allows you to understand the underwater environment with incredible accuracy.
2. Dual-Frequency Operation with Dedicated Display
-
Feature:Â Operate simultaneously on low (e.g., 28-60 kHz) and high (e.g., 130-210 kHz) frequencies. Each frequency gets its own full-screen display on the connected monitor.
-
Benefit:Â Use the low frequency for wider coverage and deeper penetration, while the high frequency delivers extreme detail for mid-water and shallow-bottom scanning. See two different perspectives of the water column at once.
3. Intuitive CV-1202 Control Keyboard
-
Feature:Â A dedicated, rugged keyboard provides direct, tactile control over all key functions.
-
Benefit:Â Offers faster menu navigation and parameter adjustments than using a mouse or on-screen menus, which is crucial in demanding conditions. Key functions like Range, Gain, and Noise Rejection are instantly accessible.
4. Real-Time A-Scope & Bottom Lock
-
Feature:Â A vertical “A-Scope” bar displays real-time echoes from the most recent transmission.
-
Benefit:Â Instantly confirms the nature of a target (fish, debris, bait) and its exact depth. The Bottom Lock feature zooms and locks the display on the bottom, making it easy to scrutinize fish holding close to the structure.
5. Powerful Output & Interfacing
-
Feature:Â With 1 kW, 2 kW, or 3 kW of output power (models vary), it can reach extreme depths. It interfaces seamlessly with Furuno’s network of displays (like the TZT series) and navigation systems.
-
Benefit:Â Provides the power needed for deep-water applications and integrates into a full bridge system, centralizing your data.
6. Rugged, Marine-Grade Construction
-
Feature:Â Built to withstand the harsh marine environment with corrosion-resistant materials.
-
Benefit:Â Ensures long-term reliability and durability, providing a solid return on investment for professional users.
