The FURUNO CI-88 is a Doppler Sonar Current
Indicator designed for every type of fishing vessels
and hydrographic survey vessels. The high-definition
10.4” color LCD continuously presents tide speed
and direction at three depth layers simultaneously in
addition to ship’s speed and drift. This variety of current
information allows you to predict net shape and plan
when to throw your net.
There are six presentation modes: tide vector, ship’
s speed, echo level, text, track and tide log. Mode
selection is simple by pressing the dedicated button.
Other menu settings are also easily made by using
the cursor pad or rotary knob. The CI-88 features the
unique, user customizable “function button” to shortcut
menu operation. Once you have registered
the often-used function, then just press the dedicated
button and then the function window pops up.
The CI-88 has a triple-beam emission system for
providing highly accurate current measurement.
This system greatly reduces the effects of rolling,
pitching and heaving motions, providing a continuous
display of tide information.
There are four modes for measurement: ground
tracking, water tracking, NAV and Automatic. In the
NAV mode, when ground (bottom) reference is not
available acoustically in deep water, the CI-88 can
provide true tide current information by receiving
position data from a GPS navigator and heading data
from a gyrocompass or a GPS compass.
The CI-88 consists of a display unit, a processor unit
and a transducer. The control unit and display unit
can be installed separately for flexible installation.
A BlackBox configuration(without monitor) is also
available.
