SVS-560/460 series Introduction

Fix Text Below, so that Words Do Not Separated Strangely at End of each Line.
For centuries, sailors have been searching for a reliable and precise method of travelling the world’s

waterways. From celestial navigating to the modern navigation techniques as Loran, Decca navigator,
Omega or Transit Satnav, each system has had its problems with weather, range and reliability.

Without doubt, the “Global Positioning System”, or GPS for short, is the most significant advance in

navigation: it provides the navigator a position 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in any weather
condition. GPS is a satellite based navigation system which provides suitably equipped users with
accurate position, velocity and time data. Originally the GPS, developed by the U.S. Department of
Defense, was conceived for military purposes, but now it is used in a host of civilian applications.
GPS navigation uses satellite signals to determine your position in relation to a set of satellites orbiting
the earth. The GPS constellation of satellites continuously sends radio signals, containing the precise
position for each satellite back to earth. By knowing the position of 3 or 4 satellites and calculating
various time differences between transmitted signals, the GPS receiver can determine its present
position anywhere on earth, and thanks to continuous updates, calculate speed and course
information.

Display Unit Installation

Temporarily install the mounting bracket on the Genesis display unit and place the unit at the selected
location.

CAUTION

The Smart4/5 series display unit is unstable when the mounting bracket is not secured. Hold the unit in
place at all times.
Check the suitability of the location and make any adjustments. When all is satisfactory, use the holes
in the mounting bracket as a guide and mark the holes locations on the mounting surface.
Drill a 1/4 in. diameter hole at each marked location. Mount the Smart4/5 series display bracket using

bolts through the mounting surface. Place large flat washers on the opposite side of the mounting
surface from the bracket and then install lock washers and nuts. Tighten securely.
Install the display unit into the mounting bracket. Check alignment and operation of the pivots and
security of the mounting. Make any adjustments necessary to prevent binding and assure even
meshing of the pivot locking washers. It is advised to remove the display unit and store it in a safe
place to prevent damage during the rest of the installation process.

SVS-560/460 series Introduction

HOW GPS WORKS

Currently, the GPS constellation consists of 26 orbiting satellites (including 3 spares), but this number
will increase in the future.
The GPS receiver computes an accurate position by calculating the distance to the GPS satellites that
orbit the earth. Signals are required from 3 satellites for two dimensional (2D) position calculation
whilst 4 satellites are required for three dimensional (3D) position calculation.
As mentioned earlier, GPS satellites are not geostationary, but they are orbiting the earth as illustrated
on the following figure:

[The GPS constellation]
Note that position is repeatedly fixed through the following three steps while any 3 satellites are in line
of sight.
The position calculation procedure is indicated in the following three steps:

1. GPS satellites continuously transmit their own precise orbital data and the GPS receiver computes
their locations by receiving this data.

2. In this receiving process, the GPS receiver measures very accurate distances to the satellites, using
the "Spread Spectrum Modulation" method. Excellence in GPS's position-fixing accuracy is mainly due
to this technology.

3. When the satellite locations and their distances are known, the GPS receiver fixes its own position
by triangulation:

- 11 -

SVS-560/460 series Introduction

[The GPS position calculation]

As illustrated in the previous figure, the position is calculated as the meeting point of three
spheres, which are drawn around the three satellites with diameters d1, d2 and d3.

Position Fixing Accuracy: HDOP
The GPS fix accuracy is due to the locations of 3 satellites in the sky. High accuracy is obtainable
when the satellites are widely scattered in the sky; on the
contrary, accuracy is reduced when the satellites have gathered in a narrow space. In the following
figure, in both cases it is possible to obtain the GPS fix, but in the left case the accuracy will be higher
than the right:

[HDOP]

The index for position-fixing accuracy is called HDOP ("Horizontal Dilution Of Precision"). The smaller
the HDOP value, the more accurately the position can be fixed.

Installation of GPS ANTENA

The installation of the GPS ANTENNA.

The GPS ANT must be installed at the highest area of the boat and the easiest place to receive the
signal from the satellites. If there are obstacles around the GPS ANT, it isn't able to receive all signals.
The receiving time could be longer or the receiving power would be weaker. Please, follow the
instruction for your installation.

1. Keep from a metal.

2. Over 4m away from a MF/HF ANT, VHF or HF whip ANT.

3. Over 1.5m higher than MF/HF ANT.

4. Over 1m away from a receiving ANT.

5. Don't put the GPS ANT into the range of radar's beam. (Range: 30°～40°)

6. Over 1m away from the scanner of the radar.

7. Over 5m away from the ANT of the Inmarsat.

8. Over 3m away form the ANT of the roof.

9. Over 2m away from the engine.

10. Over 0.5m away from the metal surface.

※Warning: Not less than 0.5m away from the metal surface.
If the environment can't be satisfied from 1 to 10, have NO. 10 satisfied and consider the others.

SVS-560/460 series Introduction

#Fishfinder - How it works-

The SVS-560/460CF echo sounder consists of a transceiver display unit and a dual frequency
transducer. An electronic signal pulse is generated in the transmitter section of the display unit.
When coupled to the transducer, this signal is converted into an ultrasonic signal and is transmitted
toward the bottom. The signal travels through the water until it strikes an object or the bottom. It is
reflected back , hits the transducer surface, and is reconverted into an electronic signal by the
transducer. Then it is amplified in the receiver section, processed in the main logic section, and
displayed, as an image on a LCD screen. (Picture 3)
When your boat travels from point A to point B as shown in Picture 1, the beam of the transducer
installed on your boat shown a cross-sectional view in the water.
Picture 2 indicates a cutaway view under the water when your boat moves from A to point B.

The screen shows the latest scan data at its right position. After the next
scan, the previous data is moved to the left and the latest scan data is
shown at the right position. When your boat moves from point A to point
B, the screen shows the scan data as shown in Picture 3.

Installation of the Transducer

Installing the Transducer Cable-

Thru-Hull and transom-Mount Installation
cable, with the connector attached, is supplied with the transducer. During the installation, do not cut
the transducer cable or remove the connector. Do not try shorten or splice the cable. The

transducer cable includes several wires, along with shielding and insulation. If the cable is cut, it
cannot be repaired. (Cutting the cable will also void the warranty.) During installation, if you need to
drill any holes for the cable, they must be large enough to accept the connector .(3/4" or 19mm)
This will allow you to complete the installation without cutting the wire.

1st) For a transom-mount installation - Route the cable up and over the top edge of transom. Secure
the cable using cable clamps. (These clamps are available from your local marine equipment supplier.)
If you do not want to expose the cable on the deck, you may drill a new hole (3/4" or 19mm) through
the transom for the cable. (Remember - this hole must be large enough to accept the cable with the
connector attached. Do not cut the cable!) To seal the opening, use a feed-thru cap where the cable
passes through the transom.

2nd) For either type of installation - Run the cable through the interior of the boat.

3rd) Be careful not to tear the cable jacket when passing it through bulkheads and other parts of

your boat. Secure the cable in place using Nylon Wire Ties. Coil the extra cable and tie it out of the
way.

4th) If transducer cable is not long enough, 15 & 30 foot extension cables are available from SI-TEX
When you attach the extension cable, be sure that the connections are tight and watertight. Use Dow
Corning DC-4 or an equivalent sealing compound to protect the connector assemblies.

- 18 -

Installation of the Transducer

Installing the Power Cable-

1st) The 6-foot power cable supplied with the display unit should reach the source of DC power.

Connect the power leads directly to the main battery isolation switch or breaker, or route the power
leads to the DC power distribution panel. At the power source, connect the red wire to the positive
terminal (+), and the black wire to the negative terminal (-). The negative terminal may also be called
"ground" or "earth." (The display unit is internally protected if you accidentally reverse the polarity of
the power wires.)

2nd) Attach the red or positive wire to a 5 amp circuit breaker. If the unit is connected directly to the
boat's battery, include a 2amp in-line fuse. (In-line fuses are available at most marine supply stores.)

3rd) To prevent any interference or electrical noise, separate the Fishfinder power wiring as much as
possible from other devices. See the section on "EMC Installation Guidelines."

4th) If you need to extend the power wiring by more than 10 feet, use a larger wire size. This will
allow the wires to deliver the correct voltage in spite of the longer wire distance. For runs of 20 to 35
feet, use #14 AWG wire. If you need to extend the power wiring, be sure all electrical connections
are solid and durable. Insulate all connections using heat-shrink tubing or electrical tape. You may use
crimp connectors or a terminal strip, but be sure to use good-quality marine-grade parts.

5th) Plug in the power cable at the rear of the display unit.

6th) When you press the Power button, the display unit should turn on. If the unit will not turn on and

you suspect that you may have reversed the power connections, check the DC power lines all the way
back to the battery. If the polarity is not correct, reconnect the leads properly and try again.
(The display unit is internally protected if you accidentally reverse the polarity of the power wires.)

- 19 -

Installation of the Transducer

Installing a Thru-Hull Transducer
Follow these instructions if you are installing the thru-hull transducer.

1st) Once you have decided where to install the transducer, drill the hole for the part. Begin by

drilling a small pilot hole (1/8" or 3mm) from the inside of the hull. (This small hole can be filled easily if
the mounting location is not suitable.) Before you drill the hole, be sure you will be able to reach the
large nut on the top of the transducer, once it has been mounted. Also be sure there will be enough
clearance for the cable. If there is a strake or other feature on the hull, drill from the outside of the hull
instead.

2nd) Drill a larger hole from the outside of the hull using the appropriate size hole saw or paddle bit
for the selected transducer.

3rd) Uncoil the transducer cable. Remove the large hex nut from the housing and slide it over the end
of the cable.

4th) Thread the cable through the hole to the inside of the hull. Never pull or carry the transducer in
place by pulling on the transducer cable.

5th) Apply a thin layer of sealant (1/8"" or 3mm) to the transducer between the upper flat surface of
the transducer and the faring block. Use a high quality marine sealant suitable for underwater use.
(Caution do not use 3M 5200) Also apply a thin layer up the side walls. this should cover all of the
threads where the part will touch the hull material, plus an additional 1/4""(6mm). This will seal the
threads for the large hex nut.

6th) Push the transducer housing (with the sealant applied) into the hole from the outside of the hull.
Twist the housing slightly to squeeze out any excess sealant and to get a good seal. Be sure that the
transducer is aligned so that the correct part of the unit is toward the bow of the vessel. Hold or prop
the transducer in place temporarily.

- 20 -

Installation of the Transducer

Installing a Thru-Hull Transducer
7th) Go to the inside of the hull and slide the hex nut over the end of the cable. Fit the hex nut over

the end of the transducer and tighten it. (On a vessel with a wooden hull, do not tighten the nut
completely right away. Allow some time for the wood to swell after the vessel is put in the water. Be
sure that the correct end of the transducer is pointing forward see Picture 1-1

8th) Remove any excess sealant from the outside of the unit to assure smooth water flow over the
face of the transducer.

9th) As soon as the boat is placed in the water, check for leaks. Check again within 3 to 5 hours.
(You may not be able to see a small leak right away.) If there are any leaks, you must repeat the
installation procedure.

- 21 -

Installation of the Transducer

Positioning the Transom-Mount Transducer

Follow these instruction if you are installing the transom-mount transducer.
Begin by finding the best location for the mounting bracket. Here are the rules:
If your boat has one propeller (outboard or inboard-outboard), mount the transducer about
18"(455mm) to the side of the centerline of the boat. See Picture 1-2 Choose the side that is on the
down stroke of the propeller.(This is usually the starboard side of the boat.) This will reduce any
interference cause by air bubbles.
If your boat has twin propellers (outboard or inboard-outboard), place the transducer near the
centerline of the boat.
If the propeller can be turned to steer the boat, allow at least 2"(50mm) beyond the swing radius of the
propeller. This will prevent the propeller from damaging the transducer when it is turned.
Do not mount the transducer behind any hull fittings, intakes, or other parts which extend from the hull.
These may cause turbulence or air bubbles.

If the boat will be carried
on a trailer, be sure the
transducer will not hit any
rollers, bunks or fittings
on the trailer.

- 22 -

Installation of the Transducer

Mounting the Transom-Mount Transducer

Follow these instructions if you are installing the transom-mount transducer.

1st). On a boat with a fiberglass hull, the leading edge of the transducer should extend 1/8""(3.2mm) to
1/4""(6mm) below the bottom edge of the hull. See picture 1-3. On an aluminum hull, the transducer
should extend a bit more - 1/4"(6mm) to 3/8"(9mm). If the boat will be operated at high speeds, the
transducer may be mounted closer to the centerline of the hull.

2nd) The lower surface of the transducer should tilt down toward the rear at a slight angle(2° to 5°). The
mounting bracket includes a wedge. Depending on the angle of the transom on your boat, you may
need this wedge to get the correct angle for the bottom of the transducer.

3rd) Looking at the rear of the boat, be sure the bracket is vertical (perpendicular to the water line).

4th) Hold the bracket (and the wedge, if used) against the transom and trace the position of the screw

slots.

5th) Remove the bracket. The screws in the outer slots should be placed about 1/4"(6mm) up from
the bottom of each slot. The screw in the center slot should be placed 1/4" (6mm) down from the top.
(This will allow you to adjust the bracket up or down a bit.)
Drill pilot holes 3/4""(19mm) deep. Use a 9/64" (3.5mm) drill bit. To prevent drilling too deeply, wrap
masking tape around the drill bit about 7/8" (22mm) from the tip. Drill in only as far as the tape marker.
If you are attaching the bracket to a fiberglass hull, you can minimize any surface cracking of the gel
coat. Before drilling each pilot hole, drill a shallow hole (chamfer) at each location about 1/16" (1.5mm)
deep. Use a 1/4"(6mm) drill bit.

6th) Attach the bracket to the hull using the pinhead screw with flat washers. Before you tighten the
screws, apply a good-quality marine sealant to the pilot hole. This will protect the hull from water
penetration. Do not tighten the screws completely yet.

- 23 -

Installation of the Transducer

7th) Tilt the transducer in the brackets until it is positioned as illustrated in Picture 1-3
8th) Once the bracket is in the correct position, you can tighten the screws.

AIS getting started

1. What is AIS?

AIS is an Automatic Identification System. It has been introduced to improve the safety of navigation
by assisting in the efficient operation of ship to ship, ship reporting and VTS applications. The system
should enable operators to obtain information from the ship automatically, requiring a minimum of
involvement of ship’s personnel, and should have a high level of availability.
Connecting to the chart plotter an AIS receiver, vessels with AIS transponder within VHF range are
displayed on screen giving he skipper or navigator a visual interpretation of the data of nearby vessels.
This improves safety, and specifically for collision avoidance reasons.

2. AIS system definitions

CPA

Closest Point of Approach is the closest distance that will be achieved between
your vessel and the tracked target, based on your vessel’s speed and direction
and the target’s speed and direction.

6. Mode

▶[MENU]->Mode
Three kinds in Fishfinder.

6.1. Normal

Normal mode (with Auto Range active) displays the sounder image with the surface at the top of the
screen and the sea bottom in the lower part of the screen. The depth scale indicates the depth range
appearing in the display. Bottom contours and fish echoes are displayed at the depths where they are
detected. If the depth Range is set manually to a value less than actual water depth, sea bottom
echoes are not displayed, but all other echoes within the Range setting are displayed.

6.2. Bottom Zoom

- 90 -

Bottom Zoom magnifies the sounder display from the sea bottom toward the surface for a short
distance. The sea bottom contour is displayed and additional contour lines are added at intervals
above the sea bottom to aid in determining distances of echoes near the bottom. Use the Sounder
Menu to set the magnified Bottom Range from 2.5 to 20m (10 to 60ft.). Default setting is 10m (40ft.). If
the depth Range is set manually, the setting must place the sea bottom echo in the lower portion of the
screen for Bottom Zoom to be effective.

6.3. Bottom Lock

Bottom Lock divides the Fishfinder main screen image for the selected Fishfinder into two sections.
The left hand section displays a Normal Mode image. The right hand section of the screen displays the
Fishfinder image relative to the sea bottom. The sea bottom appears as a straight line with the
Fishfinder image magnified for a short distance toward the surface. A scale
appears on the right for estimating distances of echoes near the bottom. Use the Fishfinder Manu to
set the magnified Bottom range from 2.5 to 20m (10 to 60ft.). Default setting is 10m (40ft.). If the depth
Range is set manually, the setting must place the sea bottom echo in the
lower portion of the screen for Bottom Lock to be effective.
