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.
Unique features
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.
Multiple display modes
JRC’s new JFP-180BB searchlight sonar is black box confi gured 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 fi shing 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.

learning period.
Simple and precise operation
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 effi
ciency of fi shing operations and safety of navigation.

Fish and underwater targets are displayed in eight colours, including white, on a high
brightness LCD display. The searchlight sonar integrates a colour palette, allowing you
to change the ratio of red, green and blue by choosing a diff erent tone. The strength
of the colours can be freely set in 15 steps. You can also set the tones according
to the target fi sh species, generating the most optimised on-screen view at your
convenience.

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 fl exible installation approach in confi ned 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.
Interfacing
The new JFP-180BB incorporates a highly reliable industry standard interfacing fi eld. 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.
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
specifi c sector and bearing. When pointing straight down,
the beam will give a high defi nition picture of the sea fl oor.
As the beam moves from the perpendicular to the horizontal,
bottom defi nition reduces and fi sh 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
diff erent sectors using a 5- or 10-degree beam width.
