Brochure
Feature
The JFP-180BB new and compactly designed searchlight sonar integrates multiple display modes, which will allow you to control your presentation at your own convenience.
Suiting Your Moment in Time
JRC's new JFP-180BB searchlight sonar is black box configured as standard, allowing you to select a preferred display size suiting your vessel. JRC's displays uniformly incorporate a high brightness LCD display, available in 10.4- or 15-inch, ideal for installations on (relative) small commercial fishing vessels. It also integrates a dedicated one-touch day/night key, which provides suitable brightness to the display images, supporting particular time and scene operations.
Continues Searching When Adjusting Tilt Angle
The newly developed JFP-180BB give the user a feature not previously found on this class of sonar. The searchlight sonar will not stop searching when adjusting the tilt angle. This is a very useful tool for enhancing your efficiency of fishing operations and safety of navigation.
Display modes
The sonar integrates multiple display modes, facilitating a valuable working environment. The new JRC searchlight sonar illuminates the underwater scene with a beam of sonic energy, rotating through 360 degrees. The JFP-180BB provides a range of display modes to suit the search task. You can select a detailed display image at your convenience.
Flexible Black Box Configuration
The searchlight sonar consists of a compact processor, dedicated keyboard and high performance transducer, allowing for a flexible installation approach in confined spaces.
JRC also provides an optional 10.4- and 15-inch high brightness monitor, and for those who prefer to specify their own display, the JFP-180BB allows you to choose what type and size of display to connect to the unit.
You can choose between CRT and LCD display, as long as it supports VGA.
Color ‘Enrichment’ Palette
Fish and underwater targets are displayed in eight colors, including white, on a high brightness LCD display. The searchlight sonar integrates a color palette, allowing you to change the ratio of red, green and blue by choosing a different tone. The strength of the colors can be freely set in 15 steps. You can also set the tones according to the target fish species, generating the most optimized on-screen view at your convenience.
Optimum Tilting
The centre of the beam can be set in 1 degree increments from 5 degrees from the horizontal, to 90 degrees from the sea surface.The transducers ultra sonic beam sweeps a specific sector and bearing. When pointing straight down, the beam will give a high definition picture of the sea floor. As the beam moves from the perpendicular to the horizontal, bottom definition reduces and fish detection improves.
Searching All Around
The horizontal scan (sonar mode) can search through a full 360 degree or search a selection of up to 16 different sectors using a 5- or 10-degree beam width.
Interfacing
The new JFP-180BB incorporates a highly reliable industry standard interfacing field. Connect additional navigation equipment, such as GPS, which provides on-screen the exact location of this vessel. It also shows the track line of the vessels’ bow wake (wave that relatively spreads out in the rear of the vessel), initially saved every 2 seconds.
Simple and Precise Operation
The new searchlight sonar allows you to carry out all operations simply by using the keyboard. The layout has a full complement of keys, including direct tilting, hoist control, and special one-touch menu keys to access different scanning modes on screen. This makes it easy to navigate through all common used tasks. The logic of the controls and excellent on-screen menus will greatly shorten most users’ learning period.
