SI-TEX SVS-880 and SVS-1010

Chartplotter/Sounders Offer New Features for
Commercial Fishing and Workboats

SI-TEX Marine Electronics has added important new features to its SVS-880 and SVS-1010 chartplotter/sounder systems, making these popular large-screen navigators an even better choice for commercial fishing boats and light workboats.

Although compact overall, the SVS-880 and SVS-1010 have gigantic storage capacity for 50,000 track points, 20,000 point marks and 20,000 waypoints, enough to meet the needs of the busiest commercial fishermen on the water. In addition, the SVS-880 and SVS-1010 provide automatic data backup of Tracks, Marks and Waypoints to an SD card, ensuring the safety and security of this critical information in the event of any kind of system failure.

Professional users of the SVS-880 and SVS-1010 have a variety of practical options when it comes to organizing, managing and using data on this advanced chartplotter series. Captains can select a daily color for marks and tracks, making it easy to differentiate one day’s fishing activities from another’s. Overall, there are 16 available color selections for marks and tracks, making it unlikely you’ll ever run out. When no longer needed, marks can easily be erased by color and/or icon shape, and tracks can be erased by color or name, making it easy for professionals to optimize information displayed on these units’ 8- and 10.1-inch LCD screens.

Fishermen re-setting traps or fishing gear will appreciate SI-TEX’s Move-to-Vessel function, which allows marks to be instantly relocated to the vessel’s current location. Other features unique in chartplotters of this size/price category include Dual Video Inputs, DVI-D Video Output for a remote display, and full AIS interface capability. An optional full-function wireless remote control provides easy operation of all plotter/sounder functions from anywhere aboard the vessel.

The SVS-880 and SVS-1010 both feature SI-TEX’s built-in 3rd Generation 600W Dual-Frequency sounder with professional-grade features such as Auto/Manual Gain, Range and Shift, White/Black Line, Bottom Lock, Bottom Zoom, A-Scope, three-level Interference Rejection and four-level Noise Rejection. SI-TEX’s ultra-bright 1200 nit LED backlit screens provide clear viewing of chartplotter, echosounder or split-screen displays in all light conditions — even on open boats.

The SVS-880 and SVS-1010 navigation features include a 52-channel internal GPS receivers (with optional external antennas) and the “dual-fuel” ability to operate with Navionics or C-MAP cartography. Both units come pre-loaded with a Navionics Gold North American chart card, and boaters who want to switch between Navionics and C-MAP charts can do so without any special set-ups or dedicated software. The SVS-880 and SVS-1010 also come ready for global navigation, operating with the U.S. GPS Satellite System along with the European Galileo System, Russian Glonass System and Asian QZSS Satellite System.
