The FURUNO FE-8010 is the 8.4-inch color LCD display unit for the FE-800 Navigational Echo Sounder. Its primary function is to clearly show real-time depth soundings for safe navigation, complying with IMO standards. It features dual-frequency display (50/200 kHz) for simultaneous FORE and AFT depth, offers various modes (NAV, OS DATA, HISTORY, LOGBOOK), provides visual and audible alarms for shallow water or lost seabed, and stores up to 24 hours of depth data. It’s designed for user-friendly operation and integration with other bridge systems.
