INTRODUCTION Thank you very much for purchasing the FP-561. The FP-561 is an advanced navigation and fishfinding system of compact design into which a marine navigator with a built-in GPS receiver and a fishfinder are integrated. Connecting the PD-200, a DGPS beacon receiver, to this system will permit the GPS to pinpoint the ship location more accurately. Please read this instruction manual carefully to ensure correct and efficient use of the product.

16 rSOUNDER MODEq HOW TO READ IMAGES (16)-1 Reflections from the sea bottom Reflections from the sea bottom are displayed in red provided that the sensitivity is properly set (☞ P. 52). Screen images of the sea bottom provide you with information on the topographical and geological features of the sea bottom. Such information will help you search for good fishing banks. Å Reading topographical features of the sea bottom Submarine terrains may be flat or hilly, just as is the case with land.
rSOUNDER MODEq HOW TO READ IMAGES 16 (16)-2 Reflection from a fish school In general, reflections from a fish school form a light-colored downturn between the sea level and bottom on the screen. Information provided by the screen image of a fish school includes the size and density of the shoal. Comparison, as a routine matter, between the screen image and the actual fishery will permit you to read the image exactly.
16 rSOUNDER MODEq HOW TO READ IMAGES (16)-3 Secondary reflections from the sea bottom GPS In shallow-depth areas, phantom contours of the sea bottom may often occur under the actual contour. These phantom contours of the sea bottom are caused by secondary reflections from the sea bottom (bounce of the ultrasonic wave between the sea bottom and the water surface or the ship). This symptom tends to occur in particular when the ship bottom is rocky or a low frequency is used.
rSOUNDER MODEq HOW TO READ IMAGES Thermocline is a lay of a body of water at which the rate of temperature decreases with depth is at a maximum, and is displayed as a screen image. As a thermocline reflects ultrasonic waves, it appears as a very thin line between the sea level and bottom on the screen.

6 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Install the system properly according to the instruction of this manual to ensure optimum performance and stable operation of the system Prior to commencing installation work, make sure that the system package comes complete with the accessories listed in the “Standard accessories” section on the first page of the manual.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE ı Installing the main unit Install the main unit as follows. q Choose the installation position of the stand of the main unit. w Mark center points through the four mounting holes of the stand and then drill a hole of 5 mm in diameter at each of the marked points. e Secure the stand with the self-tapping screws, flat washers and spring washers. r Mount the main unit onto the stand and secure it with two mounting screws.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Ç Connecting the power cable 6 This system operates from an 11 to 30 VDC power source. Connect the power cable as follows. q Connect the connectorless end of the cable to the battery as shown in the overall connection diagram (☞ P. 68). * Exercise care to avoid reverse connection in polarity. Reverse connection may cause a blowout of the fuse or damage to the system. w Connect the connector end of the cable to the PWR connector located on the rear panel of the system.
6 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 6-4 Installing the GPS antenna When installing the GPS antenna, observe the following. q Install the antenna at the top of the highest and obstacle-free position of the ship. w Install the antenna in a horizontal position. Install the antenna with a extention pipe and the horse bands as follows. e Install the antenna at a position at least 1 m away from the main unit or other electronic devices. r Do not paint the antenna.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 6 6-5 Installing an optional transducer Å Optional transducers and accessories Various types of transducers and ship speed/water temperature sensors are available as options to suit your application.
6 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 6-6 Connecting an external navigator An external navigation equipments can be connected to the NMEA connector on the rear panel of the system. Connect a 4-pin microphone connector to the NMEA connector and plug the data line in the 1-pin connector and the data return line in the 2-pin connector. When using an external navigator, set “Positioning Equipment” to “NMEA” on the Positioning Menu screen (☞ P. 34).
MAINTENANCE 7-1 Maintenance and inspection 7-2 Replacing the fuse 7 This system is designed to be easy to maintain for the operator. Proper maintenance allows to the system to be kept in a optimum state and prevents the possibility of malfunctions. As a high voltage is used in the system, be sure to read the Safety Notice on page 1 before commencing maintenance work. q To remove dirt from the cover or key panel, wipe it using a soft cloth damped with a water-diluted detergent.
