Standard Horizon DS41 owner manual Appendix B Nmea Repeater Mode, As Nmea repeater

Appendix B – NMEA Repeater Mode

The DS41 can be configured to operate as a NMEA repeater. In this mode it will display depth information from any depth sounder outputing DPT or DBT NMEA depth data (no other NMEA depth sentences are supported).

Notes:

1)The only information displayed from the DPT and DBT sentence is depth below the transducer. The user must enter keel offset values and alarm settings as required.

2)When a slave has no depth information, the display will alternate between -- and -SL. This will occur if the master unit has no depth reading or if the data link from the master is inadvertently broken.

To set the DS41 to repeater mode:

1.Connect the NMEA data and DC power as shown in the following diagram.

2.Apply power to the instrument and configure it for slave operation as described in the Instrument Setup section (Dual Station Operation).
