FURUNO DFF3-UHD Network Fish Finder

A Word to the Owner of the DFF3-UHD

Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO DFF3-UHD Network Fish Finder. The DFF3-UHD is a net-work fish finder designed for use with the NavNet TZtouch3 (TZT9F/12F/16F/19F, Ver. 3.01 or higher) and NavNet TZtouch2 (TZT2BB only, Ver.9.01 or higher). Please carefully read and follow the recommended procedures for installation and maintenance. Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO.

Operational Cautions

  • A separate power supply is required. Take the power from the ship’s mains via the ship’s switchboard.
  • The DFF3-UHD is not turned off when the multi-function display is powered off. The DFF3-UHD’s standby power is 6.2 W, so turn it off from the ship’s switchboard when it is not in use.
  • DFF3-UHD does not support the Bottom Discrimination, RezBoost, or ACCU-FISH.
  • Do not transmit with the transducer out of the water, to prevent damage to the transducer.
  • Use the multi-function display to change the program version of the power amp. Contact FURUNO for information on how to upgrade program version.
  • When using two types of transducers, set them from [Fishfinder]-[Transducer Setup]-[Transducer Setup]-[Type] of the NavNet TZtouch3 and NavNet TZtouch2. Because the equipment has only one TDID port, two TDIDs cannot be read.

Installation

Select the mounting location considering the following points.

  • Locate the unit away from areas subject to water splash.
  • Select a location that is well ventilated.
  • Observe the compass safe distances shown on page 1.
  • Leave the sufficient service clearance around the unit.

Procedure

  1. Drill four pilot holes in the bulkhead (or tabletop) for the self-tapping screws.
  2. Screw two self-tapping screws (5×20) into the pilot holes for upper, leave 5 mm protruding.
  3. Set unit onto the screws and fasten them.
  4. Tightly fasten the other two screws to fix the unit in place.
    NOTE: For mounting on a bulkhead, the connectors must face downward.

Wiring

Wiring Outline

The figure below shows the inserting position of each cables for the DFF3-UHD. Refer to the interconnection diagram for details.

Procedure

  1. Remove the cover.

  2. Unfasten four screws to remove the chassis cover.
    [Transducer cable wiring]

  3. Fabricate the transducer cable(s) as shown below.
    Fabricate the cables for both the high and low frequencies. For a CHIRP transducer, fabricate the ID signal cores for both the high and low frequencies.

  4. Unfasten the seal nut on the cable entry for transducer cable.

  5. Pass the seal nut, claw and seal onto the transducer cable, in that order.

  6. Push the seal assembly into the seal nut, then tighten the super gland.

  7. Remove the WAGO connectors from the PCB, then attach the transducer cable to the connector.
    Procedure

  8. Twist core.

  9. Insert terminal opener and push.

  10. Insert a core into hole.

  11. Release the terminal opener.

  12. Pull the core to confirm it is correctly inserted.

  13. Clamp the braided shield with a cable clamp.

  14. Attach the WAGO connector to the PCB.
    [LAN cable and external KP signal cable wiring]

  15. Connect the LAN cable to the LAN connector.
    As shown in the above figure, make a loop in the cable (approx. 10mm diameter), then connect the cable.

  16. Fasten the seal nut to fix the transducer cable.
    The torque shall be 2.0 Nm and the gap between the seal nut and the super gland shall be approx. 3 mm.

  17. Fabricate the external KP signal cable as shown below. (core size 0.75 sq, outer dia 7.6 approx.)

  18. Pass the cable through the seal nut and seal assembly, like you did with the transducer cable.

  19. Push the seal assembly into the seal nut, then tighten the super gland.

  20. Remove the WAGO connector from the PCB and connect it to the external KP signal cable.

  21. Connect WAGO connector to the PCB.

  22. Tighten the seal nut to fasten the cable.

  23. Attach the EMI core (GRFC-8, supplied) to the power cable near the super gland to prevent noise (see figure below).

  24. Attach the ground wire (IV-1.25sq, local supply) to the ground terminal with a crimp-on lug (M3, local supply) to prevent interference.

  25. Reattach the chassis cover.

  26. Reattach the cover.

Operation Check

For NavNet TZtouch3 and NavNet TZtouch2, the DFF3-UHD is powered on/off from the ship’s switchboard. The STATUS LED and ERROR LED on the bottom of the DFF3-UHD lights or blinks according to equipment state, as described in the table below.

LED Type STATUS ERROR Meaning
LED State Blinking every two seconds Off Normal operation
Blinking every 0.4 seconds Off Transducer settings at NavNet device not

properly set.
Off| Lit continuously| Communication error with NavNet device or internal fan error (see “Troubleshooting” about how to solve the prob- lem).

Troubleshooting

The table below provides basic troubleshooting procedures which the user may follow to restore normal op-eration. If you cannot restore normal operation, do not check inside unit. Have a FURUNO dealer check the equipment.

Problem Reason
Cannot turn on power. •   The power cable is disconnected or damaged. Check

the power cable and if it damaged, replace it.

•   Check the ship’s mains and check if the switchboard is turned on.

•   Check the fuse on the power cable. If the fuse has blown, find the cause then replace it.

No echo appears but fixed range scale appears.| •   The sensor cable is disconnected or damaged.

Check the cable and reconnect or replace it as necessary.

Sensitivity is low.| •Gain setting is too low. Raise the gain.

•Marine life is adhering to the transducer face. Clean the transducer face.

• Vessel is in heavily sedimented water.

ERROR LED turns on.| •Disconnect the Power cable and LAN cable.

•Connect the Power cable and LAN cable.

•Contact your local dealer for advice when the problem cannot be solved.
