  • Page 16 SVS-760 Introduction Fishfinder - How it works- The SVS-760 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.
  • Page 17 Installation of the SVS-760 A careful installation will assure maximum performance from your new SVS-760. Display Unit Location Select a location for your Display unit that provides easy viewing from all likely operator’s positions. The display unit is designed to be mounted on either a console or from an overhead surface. The Display unit is also designed for flush mounting using six threaded holes on the rear panel.

  • Page 18: Installation

    Installation Drill a 1/4 in. diameter hole at each marked location. Mount the Display unit 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.

  • Page 20 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.
  • Page 21 Installation Installing the Power Cable ) 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 (-).
  • Page 22 Installation Installing a Thru-Hull Transducer Follow these instructions if you are installing the thru-hull transducer. ) 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.
  • Page 23 Installation Installing a Thru-Hull Transducer ) 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.
  • Page 24 Installation 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.
  • Page 25 Installation Mounting the Transom-Mount Transducer Follow these instructions if you are installing the transom-mount transducer. ). 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).
