    INTRODUCTION This manual covers the SVP 7x series sound velocity probes, consisting of:  SVP 70: The robust titanium design eases cleaning in environments with considerable marine growth, which is crucial for permanent installations.  SVP 71: The anodized sea-water resistant aluminum housing, lighter than the titanium SVP 70, is recommended for semipermanent mounting on outboard rigs or UUVs, where regular maintenance is possible.
  • Page 12: Safety Precautions

     Treat cables with care: o Maintain the appropriate bend radius. o Do not pull on cables. o Lubricate connectors to decrease the required mating force. SVP 70/71 Operator's Manual Page 2 May 15, 2017 Version 7...
  • Page 13: Cleaning And Maintenance

     Do not overtighten bulkhead nuts.  Grip main body of connector during mating or unmating. Do not pull on cable to disconnect.  Avoid sharp bends at cable entry to connector. SVP 70/71 Operator's Manual Page 3 May 15, 2017 Version 7...

  • Page 31: Svp Principles

    The use of titanium for the SVP 70 model limits corrosion to a great extent. Due to the direct measurement technique used, the speed of sound echo return time result will in no way depend on formulas assuming a certain relationship between conductivity, salinity, temperature, and pressure.
  • Page 32: Svp Applications

    Adequate accuracy of the sound velocity used in these systems is typically 0.25m/s. Doppler logs use the speed of sound for calculating the sensor speed. Accurate sound speed is mandatory for obtaining accurate sensor speed. SVP 70/71 Operator's Manual Page 22 May 15, 2017 Version 7...

    48V battery in both charging and discharging conditions. 6.2.1 Serial Interface The SVP 70 is as standard fitted with two serial interfaces, RS-232 and RS-422, whereas the SVP 71 is fitted with only RS-232. Only one interface can be active at a time. Certain configuration options, including changing baud rate and serial interface, can only be accessed Molykote 44 Medium: Use sparingly.
  • Page 37: Table 2: Interface Guidelines

    The RS-422 is based on the MAX3084ECSA IC, which generates true RS-422 signals with voltage swings and rise time limitations according to the RS-422 specification. The SVP 70 has a built-in 100 ohm termination resistor on its RS-422 input. Equipment connected to the RS-422 interface should also include a termination resistor across RXA and RXB.

    SVP port on the sonar processor is recommended. The pinout of the Fischer connector (processor unit side) is as shown in Figure 12. The pinouts of the connector at the SVP 70 and SVP 71 (cable side) are not identical (see Table 4 and Table 5).
  • Page 39: Connector Svp 70

    CAUTION Protective caps, dummy plugs, must be used if the probe is submerged for extended periods without a cable attached.
