2 Installation
2.1 Unpacking the Box
When unpacking the box containing the Maretron DSM150, you should find the following items:
• 1 – DSM150 NMEA 2000 ® Multi-function Graphic Display
• 1 – DSM150 User’s Manual CD-ROM
• 1 – Warranty Registration Card
If any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact Maretron.
2.2 Choosing a Mounting Location
The DSM150 is housed in a waterproof enclosure (IEC IP67 rating – protected against the effects of temporary immersion in water) and can be mounted in either an outdoor location or an indoor location.
2.3 Mounting the DSM150
The DSM150 can be flush mounted. Maretron suggests a location at which the display can be viewed from a relatively straight angle, and at which the keys are easily pressed.
2.3.1 Flush Mounting the DSM150
The DSM150 can be directly mounted to any suitable surface. You may choose to secure the
DSM150 to the mounting surface with machine screws or you may use silicone or a similar adhesive if you do not have easy access to the rear side of the mounting surface. The steps for this type of mounting are as follows:
1. Attach the Mounting Template (see Section 13) to the surface where the DSM150 is to be
located. a. Make sure the template is level by using one of the horizontal lines as a guide. b. Scotch tape works well for securing the template.
2. If securing with machine screws, drill the four mounting holes all the way through the mounting surface at the locations indicated on the Mounting Template. a. Use a 4.5mm or 3/16” drill bit.
3. Drill or cut a single hole for the body of the display. a. Use a 60mm or 2 3/8” hole saw.
4. Remove the template from the mounting surface.
5. Place the DSM150 on the mounting surface, with the body of the DSM150 inserted into the large hole made with the hole saw. If mounting with silicone adhesive, apply the adhesive to the portion of the DSM150 that will come into contact with the mounting surface once installed.
6. If mounting with machine screws, insert the screws into the back of the DSM150 and tighten. a. Use M4-0.7 screws, and ensure that they protrude no more than 5mm into the back of the DSM150 once mounted . b. Don’t over tighten the screws. c. Do not use threadlocking compounds containing methacrylate ester, such as Loctite Red
(271), as they will cause stress cracking of the plastic enclosure.
Page 2 Revision 1.4.16a
2.4 Connecting the DSM150
The Maretron DSM150 provides a connection to an NMEA 2000 ® interface through a connector that can be found on the back of the unit. Use the supplied DSM150CABLE-01.0 adapter cable to convert the 12-pin Deutsch connector on the back of the unit to a standard Micro NMEA 2000 ® connector.
The NMEA 2000 ® connector is a five pin male connector (see Error! Reference source not found.).
You connect the DSM150 to an NMEA 2000 ® network using a Maretron NMEA 2000 ® cable (or compatible cable) by first plugging the female Deutsch connector on the DSM150CABLE-01.0 adapter cable into the connector on the back of the DSM150 unit, and then connecting the female end of the NMEA 2000 ® network cable to the male connector on the DSM150CABLE-01.0 adapter cable (note the key on the male connector and keyway on the female connector). Be sure the cable is connected securely and that the collar on the cable connector is tightened firmly. Connect the other end of the cable (male) to the NMEA 2000 ® network in the same manner. The DSM150 is designed such that you can plug or unplug it from an NMEA 2000 ® network while the power to the network is connected or disconnected. Please follow recommended practices for installing NMEA 2000 ® network products.

4.2.11 Fuel Management
WARNING: Maretron fuel management products are designed to be accurate and reliable; however they should be used only as aids for fuel management and not as a replacement for traditional fuel management techniques. BEWARE: Conditions can quickly change that drastically effect time and distance to empty.
You should not use the fuel management data types unless you fully understand all the parameters associated with fuel management. All fuel tanks and all engines must be included when setting up the DSM150 plus there must be accurate fuel rate sensors installed on the vessel and accurate speed information in order for the DSM150 to properly display fuel management information. You should also note that fuel levels may contain significant error if the boat is not sitting level in the water (i.e., sailboat heeled over or a power boat riding bow up won’t necessarily report the correct amount of fuel). Even when setup correctly, the
DSM150 should be used only as an aid and not the sole source for fuel management information.
Total Fuel Economy – displays distance traveled per unit fuel used (for example, miles per gallon or kilometers per liter) using the specified GPS and specified engine instances within the
favorite screen setup (see Section 5.2.6.4.2 for details).
Page 14 Revision 1.4.16a
Total Fuel Rate
– displays rate of fuel usage per unit time (for example, gallons or liters per hour)
for all engine instances specified within the favorite screen setup (see Section 5.2.6.4.2 for
details)
Total Fuel Remaining
– displays total fuel remaining in all fuel tanks specified within the favorite
screen setup (see Section 5.2.6.4.2. In order for the DSM150 to properly calculate total fuel
remaining, tank monitors connected to the network must provide tank capacity in addition to fluid level.
Distance to Empty
– displays the distance you can travel before all fuel is consumed, assuming all conditions remain the same. The DSM150 computes distance to empty using several different parameters including the total fuel remaining (see above) and fuel economy (also discussed above). Remember, conditions can rapidly change that may drastically effect distance to empty. For example, if you are going out to sea with the wind and current behind you, the distance to empty may indicate that there is enough fuel to return home when in fact there isn’t enough fuel to return. Distance to empty is only applicable if the conditions remain the same.
Time to Empty – displays the amount of time you can travel before all fuel is consumed, assuming all conditions remain the same. The DSM150 computes time to empty using total fuel remaining (see above) and the engine(s) fuel rate. Remember, conditions can rapidly change that may drastically effect time to empty. For example, if you are going out to sea with the wind and current behind you, the time to empty may indicate that there is enough fuel to return home when in fact there isn’t enough fuel to return. Time to empty is only applicable if the conditions remain the same.
Total Fuel Capacity – displays the total capacity of all fuel tanks. The DSM150 can only compute total fuel capacity assuming all totalized tanks are transmitting their capacity.

DSM150 User’s Manual
4.3 Alerts
An alert is a signal to a user that there is either an alarm or warning condition requiring user intervention.
Alerts are integrated in an NMEA2000 ® system. For each Alert, one device acts as a master, or Alert
Source, and monitors a parameter against a preset threshold. When the parameter crosses this threshold, the Alert is displayed on the Alert Source and an Alert Message is sent out on the
NMEA2000 ® bus to other devices capable of displaying Alerts. Optionally, an Annunciator message is sent to devices capable of sounding an audio alarm (e.g. the ALM100). Currently, the DSM150 and the N2KView™ Vessel Monitoring Software are capable of generating and receiving Alert Messages.
The Alert may be accepted or cancelled from any capable device, in which case an Alert Response
Message is sent to the Alert Source, which in turn will turn the Annunciators off and inform the devices on the bus of the new Alert Status.
4.3.1 Alert Types
There are two classes of alerts, which are distinguished by their severity:
• Alarm – An alarm is a type of alert announcing a condition requiring immediate attention or user intervention. Alarms are shown in red (when Active), and always appear above the warnings on the Alert Status Screen.
• Warning – A warning is a type of alert announcing a condition requiring non-immediate attention for precautionary reasons. Warnings are shown in yellow (when Active), and always appear below alarms on the Alert Status Screen.
4.3.2 Alert Terminology
The following alert terminology, consistent with International Maritime Organization Code on Alarms and Indicators, is used in N2KView™ and the DSM150.
• Accept – The user action of acknowledging the existence of an alert. Alerts are only accepted when they are Active
• Cancel – The user action of removing an alert from the list of displayed alerts. Alerts may only be cancelled if the condition causing the alert has been removed.
• Clear – An alert is cleared when the condition causing the alert is removed. This is not a user action.
• Trigger – An alert is triggered when the condition monitored by the alert is met.
4.3.3 Alert Priority
Each alert has a priority which you can define, ranging from 0 to 4000 with 0 the highest or most important priority and 4000 the lowest or least important priority. Alarms always have a higher priority than Warnings (i.e. an Alarm with a priority of 4000 has a higher priority than a warning with priority
0).
4.3.4 Vessel Alert Operating Modes
You can configure alerts to operate in one or more fixed operating modes, 1) disabled, 2) moored, 3) underway, or 4) anchored. This allows you to easily enable or disable groups of individual alarms depending on the vessel’s operating mode. Setting the vessel alert operating mode is described in
The Operating Mode is one of:
Page 20 Revision 1.4.16a
• Disabled – All alerts are disabled. This mode should be used when the vessel is in storage, dry-dock, or otherwise out of operation.
• Moored – This mode is used when the vessel is secured to a structure that is permanently attached to the ground like a pier, wharf, dock, or mooring buoy.
• Underway – This mode is used when the vessel is not moored nor anchored.
• Anchored – This mode is used when the vessel is secured to the sea floor with an anchor.
4.3.5 Alert States
Alerts exist in one of five states.
• Disabled – A Disabled Alert is an alarm or warning that has yet to be enabled or activated. In this state, no action will be taken regardless of the value of the monitored parameter. A
Disabled Alert May be enabled in which case it transitions to the Inactive state
• Inactive – An Inactive alert is an alarm or warning that has been enabled, but the condition causing the alert is not present. If the alert condition becomes true, the alert will become an
Active Alert
. An Inactive alert may be disabled, which causes it to transition to the Disabled state. New alerts are created in the Inactive State.
• Active – An Active alert is an alarm or warning where the condition to trigger the alert has been met, and is still present and the operator has not accepted the alert. An active alert is indicated by a flashing indicator on the Alert Status Screen, and by a flashing colored box at the top right of the DSM150 screen. This box will be visible on all screens. Also, annunciators that are programmed to sound when this alert is active will be sounding during this state. An active alert can be accepted by the user (causing it to become an Accepted Alert) or disabled by the user (causing it to become a Disabled Alert). If the condition causing the alert is rectified, the alert transitions to the Awaiting Cancel state.
• Accepted – An Accepted alert is an alarm or warning which was Active and has been accepted by the user. A solid indicator on the Alert Status Screen indicates an Accepted alert; annunciators are silenced. Normally, an alert is a serious matter that requires immediate attention and requires a deliberate attempt to remove the condition that caused the alert.
Sometimes it isn’t practical to immediately remove the condition that caused the alert; accepting the alert will silence the annunciators while the appropriate user action is being taken.
To prevent an alert that has accepted by the user from being forgotten, an accepted alert will transition back to being Active after a period of time set by the user. If the condition causing the alert is rectified (cleared), the alert will transition to the Inactive state.
You may disable the alert at this time, causing it to become a Disabled Alert.
• Awaiting Cancel – An Alert in the Awaiting Cancel state is an alert where the condition that caused the alarm or warning has been removed without the alert being accepted while it was
Active. To avoid such alerts from being missed by the user, the alert is required to be cancelled. You may cancel the alert at this time, causing it to become an Inactive Alert, or you may disable the alert, causing it to become a Disabled Alert. Should the condition trigger the alert again, the alert will transition back to the Active state, incrementing a counter which is displayed on the Alert Status Screen in the “What Happened” column.

DSM150 User’s Manual
4.3.6 Available Alert Classes
The DSM150 has several classes of alerts, depending on the parameter for which an alert is being configured.
• Low Alert – The alert will become active if the monitored value drops below the value in this alert for longer than the time specified in the Set Delay field.
• High Alert – The alert will become active if the monitored value rises above the value specified in this alert for longer than the time specified in the Set Delay field.
• Data Unavailable Alert – The alert will become active if the monitored value is not received, or is received but with a value of “Data Not Available”, for longer than the time specified in the Set
Delay field.
• On Alert – The alert will become active if the monitored switch or flag becomes “ON” for longer than the time specified in the Set Delay field.
• Off Alert – The alert will become active if the monitored switch or flag becomes “OFF” for longer than the time specified in the Set Delay field.
• Tripped Alert – The alert will become active if the monitored circuit breaker becomes “Tripped” for longer than the time specified in the Set Delay field.
• Course Alert – The alert will become active if the monitored course differs from the Reference
Direction by more than the Offset COG Set Point for longer than the time specified in the Set
Delay field.
• GPS Quality Alert – The alert will become active if the GPS Quality drops below the level set in the GPS Quality Alert Set field for longer than the time specified in the Set Delay field.
• Outside Radius Alert – The alert will become active if the distance between the current GPS position and the Reference Latitude and Longitude rises above the value in the Outside Radius
Alert Set field for longer than the time specified in the Set Delay field.
• Inside Radius Alert – The alert will become active if the distance between the current GPS position and the Reference Latitude and Longitude falls below the value in the Outside Radius
Alert Set field for longer than the time specified in the Set Delay field.
• Anchor Alert – Similar to the Outside Radius Alert, this alert will become active if the distance between the current GPS position and the Reference Latitude and Longitude rises above the value in the Outside Radius Alert Set field for longer than the time specified in the Set Delay field. The Anchor Alert is more suited for smaller radii, and can be displayed graphically in the
Anchor Watch Display.
• Direction Alert – The alert will become active if the monitored course differs from the
Reference Direction by more than the Offset Wind Direction Set Point for longer than the time specified in the Set Delay field.
• Timer Alert – The alert will become active when the time reaches the time specified in the
Alarm Time field, and thereafter after the intervals specified in the Repeat Interval field.

5 Operating Modes
The DSM150 has two main operating modes including normal viewing of information in the favorite
screens mode (Section 5.1) and the menu mode (Section 5.2).
5.1 Favorite screens modes
After the power up screen (see Section 3.1), the DSM150 always enters the favorite screens mode. In
the favorite screens modes, the DSM150 displays one of up to sixteen “favorite” screens. Each
“favorite” screen can display one, two, three, or four information displays. Each information display can show any displayable data in any display type supported by that data. In favorite screens mode, the DSM150 can operate in one of two ways:
Manual
mode – a particular “favorite” screen remains on the display until you select another one, or
Auto mode – the DSM150 automatically cycles between “favorite” screens, at time intervals which are individually programmable for each “favorite” screen.
An example screen of the DSM150 running in favorite screens mode can be seen in Figure 6 below.
Figure 6 – DSM150 Running in Favorite Screens Mode
The very bottom left hand corner of the screen shows two important parameters: 1) it indicates which favorite screen is being displayed (in this case Favorite #5), and 2) it indicates that the DSM150 is currently operating in the Auto mode. Manual would appear in place of Auto if the DSM150 was operating in Manual mode.

“On”. The background will switch to black and the percentage color settings are now used to define the foreground color.
5.2.4.5 Demo Mode
The DSM150 has a demo mode suited for displaying the capabilities of the unit. It causes the
DSM150 to operate in a “simulated data” mode, where the DSM150 will install a set of pre-defined favorite screens and other configuration and will then display only the internally generated simulated data and will ignore any data arriving over the NMEA 2000 ® bus. While in demo mode, the DSM150 will display a “Demo” indicator in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Programming this option to “On (Show Room Mode)” or “On (Boat Show Mode, No Auto Reset)” will cause the DSM150 to enter the demo mode while programming this option for “Off (Normal Use Mode)” will cause the
DSM150 to return to using data from the NMEA 2000 ® bus.
In order to be able to demonstrate all of the DSM150’s capabilities, the unit allows the user to setup and configure different screens while in demo mode. However, in a show room environment and five minutes after the last button push (i.e., the customer has walked away the demo unit), the DSM150 will reset itself to the default screens. There are others times where it is important that the DSM150 doesn’t automatically reset after five minutes to the default screens, for example at a boat show where it is desired to show specific screens while running in the demo mode and thus the “Boat Show
Mode”.
WARNING : All data displayed in demo mode is simulated. Do not use this data for vessel monitoring or navigation purposes.

• Swing Meter (see Section 7.12 on page 205)
• Tank Gauge (see Section 7.13 on page 205)
5.2.6.4.2 Instance
Instance is used to specify which product on the network will be used as the source of the displayed information. For example, there may be two GPS’s on the network each of which will have a unique instance assuming the network has been properly configured. You use the instance field to tell the
DSM150 which GPS to use for displaying data. Most of the time, the DSM150 simply displays a single parameter from a device on the network so you will only see one “Instance” entry. There are other parameters that the DSM150 displays that are a combination of information from multiple products on the network. For example, fuel economy is a combination of fuel rate and Speed Over
Ground (SOG) so you will see two “Instance” entries, one to specify the engine(s) and one to specify the GPS for SOG.
5.2.6.4.3 Alert
In setting up the Anchor Watch display type, this field is used to specify the associated Anchor Watch
Alert priority. The list from which the selection is made will be limited to the list of Anchor Watch Alerts already created in the system.
5.2.6.4.4 Title
Each display type has a user defined title that is displayed above the control. The contents of the title are specified in this field. There are three options:
• Default – the title of the control is the same as the name of the parameter being displayed.
• Label – the label of the parameter. The label is programmed into the remote device, and will be transferred to the title when it is received from the remote device. This means that if the label of the remote device is changed, the title of the control will be automatically updated to match the new label.
• Custom – the title is entered by the user using the method described in section 3.3.4.
5.2.7 Units Menu
The Units Menu allows you to set the desired display units for the DSM150. The following sections provide more detail on the individual unit settings.
Page 38 Revision 1.4.16a
Figure 28 – DSM150 Units Menu
5.2.7.1 Heading
This menu item allows you to select whether heading, course, and bearing information is displayed in true or magnetic measurements. True heading can only be displayed if a variation is available on the
NMEA 2000 ® bus.
If the DSM150 is not showing heading or COG (i.e., no needle on compass rose or dashes for digital displays), it’s probably a good indication that variation isn’t available on the network. The DSM150 can’t calculate true heading given magnetic heading from a compass if variation isn’t available.
Likewise, the DSM150 can’t calculate magnetic course given true course from a GPS if variation isn’t available. You can setup a favorite screen to display variation, which will help you determine whether or not you have a product on the network broadcasting variation information (Maretron’s GPS’s use the World Magnetic Model to broadcast variation).

Revision 1.4.16a Page 45
DSM150 User’s Manual
Figure 31 – Airmar Transducer Advanced Configuration Screen
6.1.2 Device Instance
This entry allows you to program the NMEA 2000 device instance for the unit. You usually will not need to modify the default value of “0” unless you have multiple units on the network.
6.1.3 Installation Description
This entry allows you to modify the NMEA 2000 installation description text strings. You can enter any information you like here, such as the date the unit was installed, or the location in which it was installed, for later reference. Tools such as Maretron N2KAnalyzer allow you to view these values
later. See section 3.3.4 for details on how to enter a textual value.
6.1.4 NMEA2000 PGN Enable/Disable
The transducer transmits several different NMEA2000 PGN’s which can be turned on or turned off by the DSM150 display. Pressing the Enter key with “NMEA2000 PGN Enable/Disable…” menu item selected causes the DSM150 to display the NMEA2000 PGN Enable/Disable screen.
You can enable or disable the transmission of the these messages, or set the frequency of transmission of the message by pressing the Enter key ( ) on the message to be configured.
Options are:
• Off – The message will not be transmitted
• On – The message will be transmitted at its default NMEA 2000 ® rate.
Select the required option using the Scroll Up and Scroll Down keys followed by the Enter key.
6.1.5 Clear Speed Calibration
The Clear Speed Calibration configuration parameter shows you the currently used correction factor. All measured STW readings are multiplied by this number before being transmitted over the
NMEA 2000 ® network. You can remove the correction factor by pressing the Enter key ( ) with the
“Clear Speed Calibration:” menu item selected. And then choose “Clear” using Scroll Up ( ) or
Scroll Down ( ) keys followed by the Enter key ( ). This changes the correction factor back to 1
Page 46 Revision 1.4.16a
such that all subsequent measured STW readings are no longer adjusted before begin transmitted over the NMEA 2000 ® network.
6.1.6 Speed Calibration
The Airmar speed transducer speed through water (STW) initial accuracy is significantly affected by the location or placement of the speed transducer within the hull. The speed transducer can be corrected for these inaccuracies using the speed calibration procedure. You calibrate the speed transducer STW by pressing the Enter key ( ) with the “Speed Calibration…” menu item selected
which results in the screen shown in Figure 74.
Figure 32 – Calibrating the Airmar Speed Transducer Speed
The speed calibration screen shown in Figure 74 indicates the STW as measured by the Airmar
speed transducer, which can be changed to the transmitted STW by following these steps. First, pick a speed where you are most concerned with the best accuracy. Next, bring the boat up to the desired speed using some other source, perhaps the GPS speed over ground (SOG). Remember that the
SOG does not necessary reflect the STW because of currents, and drift due to winds, so you should do this in an area where you are sure there are no currents and calm winds. Finally, use the Increase
( ) and Decrease ( ) keys to adjust the display value until it matches the known speed of the boat. Press the Accept ( ) key to accept the value when you are satisfied. If you do not wish to perform speed calibration at this time, press the Abort ( ) key and the speed calibration will not be altered.
6.1.7 Clear Temperature Offset
The Clear Temperature Offset configuration parameter shows you the currently used temperature correction offset. All measured sea temperature readings have this value added to them before being transmitted over the NMEA 2000 ® network. You can set the correction offset to zero by pressing the
Enter key ( ) with the “Clear Speed Calibration:” menu item selected. And then choose “Clear” using Scroll Up ( ) or Scroll Down ( ) keys followed by the Enter key ( ). This changes the correction factor back to 0 such that all subsequent measured sea temperature readings are no longer adjusted before begin transmitted over the NMEA 2000 ® network.
Revision 1.4.16a Page 47
DSM150 User’s Manual
6.1.8 Temperature Calibration
The temperature calibration screen shown below indicates the sea temperature as measured by the
Airmar temperature transducer, which can be changed to the actual sea temperature by following these steps. Use the Increase ( ) and Decrease ( ) keys to adjust the display value until it matches the known sea temperature. Press the Accept ( ) key to accept the value when you are satisfied. If you do not wish to perform temperature calibration at this time, press the Abort ( ) key and the temperature calibration will not be altered.
Figure 33 – Airmar Temperature Transducer Water Temperature Calibration Screen
6.1.9 Transducer Depth Offset
The DSM150 can set the transducer depth offset parameter in an Airmar depth transducer. If you are interested in the actual water depth (as opposed to the depth beneath the keel), then you should program a positive value equal to the distance from the waterline to the depth of the depth transducer. The DSM150 will then add the measured depth of the water (as seen by the depth transducer) to the programmed offset value to produce the total water depth. If you are interested in the depth of water beneath the keel, then you should program a negative value equal to the distance between the depth transducer and the bottom of the keel. The DSM will then subtract the programmed offset from the measured depth of the water (as seen by the depth transducer) showing you the depth of water beneath the keel.
You program the transducer depth offset by pressing the Enter key ( ) with the “Transducer Depth
Offset:” menu item selected which results in the screen shown in Figure 75.
Page 48 Revision 1.4.16a
Figure 34 – Setting the Transducer Depth Offset in an Airmar Depth Transducer
With the offset value highlighted, you can change the offset by using the Increase and Decrease keys ( or ) . Once you have selected the desired offset, push the Enter key ( ) to complete the transducer depth offset calibration. This procedure actually programs the offset value into the transducer such that all displays subsequently receive the offset information. This means you don’t have to program multiple displays each with the corresponding offset information as the information is stored at a single place (at the source).
6.1.10 Trip Log
The DSM150 is capable of clearing the trip log counter within an Airmar speed transducer. You zero the trip log by pressing the Enter key ( ) with the “Trip Log:” menu item selected which results in
the screen shown Figure 76. Pressing the Accept (
) key while the “Reset” menu item is selected will complete the operation. Resetting the trip log zeroes the transducer’s trip log such that all displays receive a zeroed value.

6.5.3 DC Type
You can configure the DCM100 as to what type of DC power source it is monitoring. With the exception of the “Battery” type, the value of this parameter is used only for reporting the power source type over the NMEA 2000 network. However, if you select the “Battery” type, many battery-related options become available.
The following DC Types are selectable:
• Battery
• Alternator
• Convertor
• Wind
Cell
Generator
If the DC Type is set to battery, then the following options may be entered to characterize the battery and allow the estimation of remaining charge etc.
6.5.3.1 Battery Type
The available battery types are
• Flooded/Wet
• Gel
• AGM
• Other
Selecting one of these types causes the remaining parameters to be set to appropriate default values.
6.5.3.2 Nominal Voltage
You may program here the nominal voltage of the battery, which is used only for reporting over the
NMEA 2000 network. Available choices are 6, 12, 24, 32, 36, 42, and 48 Volts.
6.5.3.3 Equalization
You may indicate here whether or not the battery supports equalization. This is used only for reporting over the NMEA 2000 network. Available choices are
• Supported
• Not Supported
6.5.3.4 Temperature Coefficient
The capacity of a battery generally increases with increasing temperature. So that the DCM100 can properly calculate the battery’s state of charge, program this parameter with the increase in battery capacity, in percent, per increase in temperature, in degrees Celsius. The temperature coefficient can be set to a value between 0%/°C – 5%/°C.
6.5.3.5 Peukert Exponent
The Peukert Exponent for the battery can be set to a value between 1.0 and 1.5. Please refer to
Section 4.8 on page 11 for details.
Revision 1.4.16a Page 63
DSM150 User’s Manual
6.5.3.6 Charge Efficiency Factor
The Charge Efficiency Factor for the battery can be set to a value between 5% and 100%. Please refer to Section 4.6.1 on page 11 for details.
6.5.3.7 Fully Charged Voltage
In order for the DCM100 to determine when a battery is fully charged, it uses three parameters. The
“Fully Charged Voltage” indicates the value voltage at which the battery is considered fully charged if the battery voltage remains above this value and the battery current remains below the “Fully
Charged Current” for the amount of time defined by the “Fully Charged Time” parameter.
6.5.3.8 Fully Charged Current
In order for the DCM100 to determine when a battery is fully charged, it uses three parameters. The
“Fully Charged Voltage” indicates the value voltage at which the battery is considered fully charged if the battery voltage remains above this value and the battery current remains below the “Fully
Charged Current” for the amount of time defined by the “Fully Charged Time” parameter.
6.5.3.9 Fully Charged Time
In order for the DCM100 to determine when a battery is fully charged, it uses three parameters. The
“Fully Charged Voltage” indicates the value voltage at which the battery is considered fully charged if the battery voltage remains above this value and the battery current remains below the “Fully
Charged Current” for the amount of time defined by the “Fully Charged Time” parameter.
6.5.3.10 Battery Temperature
In order for the DCM100 to properly determine battery capacity and state of charge, it must know the temperature of the battery If you are using a TR3K temperature sensor attached to the battery, you should set this parameter to “Sensor”. Otherwise, if no temperature sensor is available, you can set this parameter to the estimated battery temperature, between -25°C and 125°C.
6.5.3.11 Time Remaining Floor
The DCM100 calculates the time, given the current being discharged from the battery, before the battery becomes discharged. By default, the DCM100 considers a battery to be discharged when its state of charge reaches the “Time Remaining Floor” value, which is by default set to 50%. If you desire to use some other state of charge value for the “Time Remaining Floor”, you may change this parameter to the desired value.
6.5.3.12 Time Remaining Averaging Period
If loads on the battery are switching on and off frequently, the battery time remaining value calculated by the DCM100 can vary significantly. You may change the time over which current readings are averaged by changing this parameter anywhere in the range of 1 second to 32 minutes.
6.5.3.13 Zero Current Threshold
The current sensor reading can drift slightly at zero current, depending on temperature. Over a long period of time, this can cause the DCM100 to calculate that a battery is discharging slowly, even though it is not. The Zero Current Threshold parameter indicates a reading from the current sensor below which no current is considered to be flowing into or out of the battery.

You can enter any information you like here, such as the date the unit was installed, or the location in which it was installed, for later reference. Tools such as Maretron N2KAnalyzer allow you to view these values
later. See section 3.3.4 for details on how to enter a textual value.
6.9.2 Clear Speed Calibration
The Clear Speed Calibration configuration parameter shows you the currently used correction factor. All STW readings for the particular DST100 (indicated by the SN#) are multiplied by this number to arrive at the displayed number. You can remove the correction factor by pressing the Enter key ( ) with the “Clear Speed Calibration:” menu item selected. And then choose “Clear” using
Scroll Up ( ) or Scroll Down ( ) keys followed by the Enter key ( ). This changes the correction factor back to 1 such that all subsequent STW readings are no longer adjusted before displaying by the DSM150.
6.9.3 Speed Calibration
The DST100 speed through water (STW) initial accuracy is significantly affected by the location or placement of the DST100 within the hull. The DSM150 can correct for these inaccuracies using the speed calibration procedure. You calibrate the DSM150 for the DST100 STW by pressing the Enter key ( ) with the “Speed Calibration…” menu item selected which results in the screen shown in
Figure 74 – Calibrating the DSM150 for DST100 Speed through Water
The speed calibration screen shown in Figure 74 indicates the STW as measured by the DST100,
which can be changed to the actual STW by following these steps. First, pick a speed where you are most concerned with the best accuracy. Next, bring the boat up to the desired speed using some other source, perhaps the GPS speed over ground (SOG). Remember that the SOG does not necessary reflect the STW because of currents, and drift due to winds, so you should do this in an area where you are sure there are no currents and calm winds. Finally, use the Increase ( ) and
Decrease ( ) keys to adjust the display value until it matches the known speed of the boat. Press the Accept ( ) key to accept the value when you are satisfied. If you do not wish to perform installation offset calibration at this time, press the Abort ( ) key and the speed calibration will not
Revision 1.4.16a Page 81
DSM150 User’s Manual be altered. The speed calibration process provides a method for the actual STW reading produced by the DST100 to be adjusted within the DSM150 (i.e., calibration data is not stored within the DST100).
WARNING: Unlike resetting the trip log and setting the depth offset, which actually programs the DST100 so that all displays receive the same information, speed calibration must be performed at individual displays in order to show calibrated speed through water.
6.9.4 Transducer Depth Offset
The DSM150 can set the transducer depth offset parameter in a DST100 depth/speed/temperature transducer. If you are interested in the actual water depth (as opposed to the depth beneath the keel), then you should program a positive value equal to the distance from the waterline to the depth of the
DST100. The DSM150 will then add the measured depth of the water (as seen by the DST100) to the programmed offset value to produce the total water depth. If you are interested in the depth of water beneath the keel, then you should program a negative value equal to the distance between the
DST100 and the bottom of the keel. The DSM will then subtract the programmed offset from the measured depth of the water (as seen by the DST100) showing you the depth of water beneath the keel.
You program the transducer depth offset by pressing the Enter key ( ) with the “Transducer Depth
Offset:” menu item selected which results in the screen shown in Figure 75.
Figure 75 – Setting the Transducer Depth Offset in a DST100
With the offset value highlighted, you can change the offset by using the Increase and Decrease keys ( or ) . Once you have selected the desired offset, push the Enter key ( ) to complete the transducer depth offset calibration. This procedure actually programs the offset value into the
DST100 such that all displays subsequently receive the offset information. This means you don’t have to program multiple displays each with the corresponding offset information as the information is stored at a single place (at the source).
6.9.5 Trip Log
The DSM150 is capable of clearing the trip log counter within a DST100 depth/speed/temperature transducer. You zero the trip log by pressing the Enter key ( ) with the “Trip Log:” menu item
selected which results in the screen shown Figure 76. Pressing the Accept (
) key while the
Page 82 Revision 1.4.16a
“Reset” menu item is selected will complete the operation. Resetting the trip log zeroes the DST100’s trip log such that all displays receive a zeroed value (i.e., you don’t have to perform the operation from other DSM200/DSM150 locations).

6.13.2.1.4 Pressure at 20mA
Program this parameter to match the pressure reading of the pressure transducer when it is sourcing a current of 20mA. You can determine this value by examining the specification of the pressure transducer being used.
6.13.2.1.5 Tank Capacity
In addition to indicating the fluid level within a tank, the FPM100 also has the ability to be configured or programmed with the attached tank’s capacity. This way, you will be able to view the tank’s capacity as well as the amount of liquid remaining anywhere on the vessel where there is an NMEA
2000 ® compatible display.
6.13.2.1.6 Tank Levels Calibration…
In order for the FPM100 to indicate an accurate tank level, it must know the geometry of the tank.
There are two methods of calibrating an FPM100 channel in Tank mode:
Page 108 Revision 1.4.16a
• Custom Calibration – use for non-rectangular tanks (also, most accurate in any case, but requires more effort)
• Rectangular Tank – By inputting some dimensions of a rectangular tank, the FPM100 is able to interpolate the volume of liquid from the bottom of the tank to the surface.
Figure 100 – FPM100 Tank Levels Calibration Menu
6.13.2.1.6.1 Custom Calibration
The Custom Calibration setting will provide the most accurate tank level readings under any circumstances, but it requires that you go through a process in which you gradually fill the tank, stopping periodically to input the current fluid level. The TLA100 will measure the sender resistance at each point and create a custom calibration map which relates the resistance of the sender with the
fluid levels. Figure 101 below shows a screenshot of the DSM150 with the Custom Calibration option
highlighted. Custom calibration is necessary for non-rectangular tanks and for non-standard values of resistances for tank level senders. To perform custom calibration of the tank level sender, use the
Scroll Up ( ) or Scroll Down ( ) keys to move the highlighted cursor over the “Custom
Calibration…” menu item. Then, press the Enter key ( ) to confirm your selection and begin the calibration process.
Figure 101 – Performing Custom Calibration of the Tank Level Adapter
Revision 1.4.16a Page 109
DSM150 User’s Manual
The first step in custom calibration of the tank level sender is to provide an estimated capacity of the tank. This estimated capacity must be within +/- 25% of the actual capacity. To set the estimated tank capacity, use the arrow keys to adjust the displayed value until the desired value is shown. Then, press the Accept key to confirm your selection and continue with the calibration process. If you desire to stop the calibration process, pressing the Back Key ( ) will end the process and return you to the Tank Levels Calibration menu.
Figure 102 – Tank Levels Calibration Capacity Estimation
The next step in the calibration process is to fill the tank and indicate the volume of fluid in the tank at various points while filling the tank. This process should be started with an empty tank. You only need to indicate two calibration points for a rectangular tank, and can use up to 16 calibration points for a
tank with a more complex shape. Figure 103 shows a screenshot of the first calibration step. Enter
the first calibration point with an empty tank (0.0 Gallons/liters) by pressing the Accept key. The
“Current Point” highlight will advance to the next point.
Page 110
Figure 103 – Empty Level Calibration
Revision 1.4.16a
Each time you press Accept during this process and after the Current Point highlight advances, put more fluid into the tank, and note the total volume of fluid pumped into the tank at this point. Use the
Increase and Decrease keys to set the current tank level to the appropriate value, and then press the
Accept
key to store the current calibration point and advance to the next calibration point. Figure 104
shows a screenshot of these intermediate calibration points.
Figure 104 – Intermediate Level Calibration
Once the tank is completely full, instead of pressing the Accept key to store the current calibration point, press the Complete key. This will complete the calibration process and will also adjust the tank
capacity to the currently indicated level. Figure 105 below shows the calibration screen at the last
point with the full tank level (and thus the tank capacity) set to 101 gallons.
Figure 105 – Full Level Calibration
After you press accept, a confirmation screen will appear showing completion of the calibration process and the new tank capacity value. A screenshot of this calibration screen is shown below in

Page 128 Revision 1.4.16a
6.16.4 DHCP
This parameter determines whether or not the IPG100 obtains its LAN connection settings from a
DHCP server on the local area network. When set to “Yes” (the default value), the IPG100 will obtain all necessary connection settings (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and Default DNS) from a DHCP server on the local area network. Most routers have the capability to act as a DHCP server. Consult the user documentation for your network’s router for details.
If there is no DHCP server on the local area network (or if the IPG100 is connected directly to a
DSM800 or directly to an MBB100), set the “DHCP” parameter to “No” and manually configure the IP
Address (section 6.16.5), Subnet Mask (section 6.16.6), Default Gateway (section 6.16.7), Default
6.16.5 IP Address
This parameter is the IP (Internet Protocol) address used by the IPG100. You will need to specify this address to N2KView ® clients in order to allow them to connect to the IPG100. If the “DHCP” parameter is set to “Yes”, you do not need to configure this parameter. If the “DHCP” parameter is set to “No”, you will need to configure this parameter.
6.16.6 Subnet Mask
This is a mask used to divide an IP Address into subnets. Basically, it tells the computer how much of the IP Address defines the network, and how much may be used by computers on the network. For most networks, the first three parts of the IP address define the network (i.e., every computer on the network must have the same values), and the last part defines the computer (i.e., every computer on the network must have a different value). Where the value 255 appears in the subnet mask, the values define the network and must be the same.
The most common value is 255.255.255.0.
If the “DHCP” parameter is set to “Yes”, you do not need to configure this parameter. If the “DHCP” parameter is set to “No”, you will need to configure this parameter.
6.16.7 Default Gateway
This is the IP address of the router. If the “DHCP” parameter is set to “Yes”, you do not need to configure this parameter. If the “DHCP” parameter is set to “No”, you will need to configure this parameter.
6.16.8 Default DNS
This is the IP address of a computer on the Internet that can identify and locate computer systems and resources on the internet. In most cases, this should not be required by the IPG100 and may be left blank. If the “DHCP” parameter is set to “No”, you will need to configure this parameter.

6.19.3 Rudder Angle Calibration
In order for the RAA100 to indicate an accurate rudder angle, it must know how the resistance of the resistive rudder angle sender corresponds to the rudder angle. The following screen will be displayed:
Figure 143 – RAA100 Rudder Angle Calibration Options
There are three methods of calibrating the rudder angle sender:
6.19.3.1 Custom Calibration
The Custom Calibration setting will provide the most accurate rudder angle readings under any circumstances, but it requires that you go through a process in which you set the rudder to full port, then center, and then full starboard, each time indicating the angle of the rudder to the DSM150. The
RAA100 will measure the sender resistance at each point and create a custom calibration map which relates the resistance of the sender with the rudder angle. Custom calibration is necessary for non-
Revision 1.4.16a Page 139
DSM150 User’s Manual standard values of resistances for rudder angle senders and for rudders with maximum port and starboard angles of anything other than 45°.
To perform custom calibration of the rudder angle sender, use the Scroll Up ( ) or Scroll Down (
) keys to move the highlighted cursor over the “Custom Calibration…” menu item. Then, press the
Enter key (
) to confirm your selection and begin the calibration process. Figure 144 shows the
DSM150 with the Custom Rudder Calibration menu item highlighted.
Figure 144 – RAA100 Custom Rudder Angle Calibration
The first step in the custom rudder angle sender calibration process is to turn the wheel hard over to starboard, and to measure the angle or the rudder (angle from center) with a protractor or other instrument. Use the Increase and Decrease keys until the highlighted rudder angle value is at the
measured value, and then press Enter to accept the value and store it within the RAA100. Figure 145
shows a screenshot of the starboard rudder calibration screen. You may also press the Abort Key (
) to end the calibration process.

6.22.1.3 NMEA0183 Settings
Several characteristics of the NMEA 0183 interface of the SSC200 may be programmed using the
DSM150 display. This can be used for initial programming of a SSC200 compass even if only the
NMEA 0183 interface is to be used after installation is complete. Figure 163 below shows the
possible programming options for the NMEA 0183 interface.
Figure 163 – SSC200 NMEA 0183 Settings Screen
6.22.1.3.1 Baud Rate
The SSC200 compass supports NMEA0183 communication at both 4800 baud and 38400 baud. All
SSC200 Compasses are shipped with a baud rate of 4800 baud. This value may be changed by selecting the Baud Rate option in the menu, and pressing Enter. The use the Scroll Up and Scroll
Down buttons to select the desired baud rate and press Enter to save the value.
6.22.1.3.2 Sentence / Rate Selection
The NMEA 0183 interface is a very low bandwidth interface. The SSC200 is capable of transmitting a wide variety of NMEA 0183 sentences, and can exceed the bandwidth of the NMEA 0183 interface if all sentences are transmitted at maximum rates, causing lost data in NMEA 0183 multiplexers or on the SSC200 interface itself. It is important, therefore, to limit the types of NMEA 0183 sentences transmitted only to those that are necessary for other products which are connected to the NMEA
0183 interface. Figure 164 below shows the SSC200 NMEA 0183 Settings -> Sentence/Rate
Selection menu. In this menu, you can selectively enable and disable the different NMEA 0183 sentences that the SSC200 can transmit, and you can program the transmission interval for the enabled sentences. In the figure, you can see that the HDG and ROT sentences will be transmitted every 0.1 second (10 times/second), the ATT sentence will be transmitted once per second, and the
HDM and HDT sentences are disabled.
Revision 1.4.16a Page 153
DSM150 User’s Manual
The last line in the menu enables you to program the lifetime of the variation data received by the
SSC200. In Figure 164, you can see that the “Variation Time” has been programmed to 5.0 seconds.
This means that if the compass has not received magnetic variation for five seconds, it will no longer transmit true heading data, as the variation data it has received is now expired. On the NMEA2000 side, the Heading PGN has separate fields for heading sensor reading and variation. The SSC200 always has magnetic heading available; when variation is not available (timeout or invalid) the variation field is set to N/A. The default value of 5.0 seconds should be adequate for the majority of applications, but it may need to be increased for variation sources that transmit less frequently.

6.22.2 Installation Offset Calibration
The installation offset (i.e., misalignment of installed SSC200 with vessel’s center line) may be calibrated using the Maretron DSM150 display. While executing “Installation Offset Calibration”, the vessel must stay still with no pitch and roll because SSC200 will also calibrate pitch and roll at this time. Once the compass is installed, point the vessel at a known heading, and then select the compass from the “Device Configuration…” menu. Scroll down ( ) the menu items to the line entitled “Installation Offset Calibration…” and press enter ( ) which takes you to the screen shown
Revision 1.4.16a Page 155

Use the Increase ( ) and Decrease ( ) keys to adjust the display value until it matches the known heading to which the boat is pointed. Press the Accept ( ) key to accept the value when you are satisfied. If you do not wish to perform installation offset calibration at this time, press the Abort (
) key and the installation offset will not be altered.
6.22.3 Inverted Installation Entry
Normally, the SSC200 is mounted so that the label on the compass is facing up and the NMEA 2000 ® and NMEA 0183 connectors are facing towards the bow of the vessel. A recent version of SSC200 firmware supports mounting the compass upside-down (for instance, to a ceiling), or backwards (with connectors facing towards the stern of the vessel, so that the SSC200 can be mounted to the aft side of a bulkhead). If either of these mounting options is used, the DSM150 can be used to inform the
SSC200 of this fact so that it can adjust heading, rate or turn, pitch, and roll readings to be corrected accordingly.

6.22.5 Magnetic Deviation Calibration
The DSM150 is capable of performing magnetic deviation calibration on a Maretron SSC200 solid
state compass. The Rate of Turn Offset Calibration (section 6.22.8) should be done before the
First, begin to turn the boat in a slow circle (either clockwise or counter-clockwise) at about 3 to 12 degrees per second.
Figure 169 – SSC200 Magnetic Deviation Calibration Start Screen
Once you have begun the turn, press Begin ( ) to start the calibration procedure. If you do not wish to perform magnetic deviation calibration at this time, press Abort ( ), and the currently stored deviation tables will be retained. If you are in a large vessel, it may be difficult to turn the vessel in a small enough circle to avoid significant centrifugal force applied to the compass during magnetic deviation calibration. This can cause the built-in tilt sensors inside the compass to mistakenly believe that the compass is tilted during the magnetic deviation calibration, which can adversely affect the quality of the magnetic deviation calibration, especially in northerly latitudes where magnetic inclination (magnetic dip) is higher. If this is the case, instead of pressing the Begin ( ) key, press the No Acc( ) key. This will cause the compass to ignore its tilt sensors and assume that the compass is level to the earth’s surface during the calibration. You must keep the boat level during calibration if you choose this option. After you press the Begin ( ) key or the No Acc( ) key, a
status screen will appear (Figure 170).

6.22.7 Rate of Turn Damping Period
The SSC200 is capable of transmitting the rate of turn of a vessel. Different applications may require different damping for the rate of turn measurement. The DSM150 may be used to set the damping
period for the rate of turn measurement to anywhere between 0.1 seconds and 60 seconds. Figure
172 shows an example of the damping period set to 2 seconds.

6.22.8 Rate of Turn Zero Offset Calibration
The DSM150 is capable of displaying rate of turn information from a Maretron SSC200 compass.
Although the compass provides very accurate rate of turn information, it can drift off of zero even though the vessel is not turning. Fortunately, the SSC200 can learn the zero offset for different conditions found on the vessel. You teach the compass these zero offset values by pressing the
Enter key ( ) with the “Rate of Turn Zero Offset Calibration…” menu item selected which causes
the DSM150 to display the screen shown in Figure 173. The Rate of Turn Offset Calibration should
be done before the Deviation Calibration (section 6.22.5).

6.22.9 Variation Source Entry
The SSC200, being a magnetic compass, transmits heading information referenced to the magnetic north pole (magnetic heading). The SSC200 is capable of transmitting heading information referenced to the earth’s geographic North Pole (true heading). In order to produce true heading,
Revision 1.4.16a Page 159
DSM150 User’s Manual information regarding the magnetic variation at the current location is required. Please see the
SSC200 User’s Manual for more details on the use of magnetic variation by the SSC200 compass.
By default, the SSC200 is capable of receiving variation information on either its NMEA 0183 or
NMEA 2000
® interfaces. This causes the SSC200 to use variation data from either the NMEA 0183 interface or the NMEA 2000 ® interface.

and NMEA 0183 interfaces, or
If variation sources are available on both the NMEA 2000 ® and NMEA 0183 interfaces, you must tell
the SSC200 which source to use. Figure 175 below shows the NMEA 0183 source selected. This
causes the SSC200 to use variation data from the NMEA 0183 interface and ignore all other variation sources (i.e., NMEA 2000 ® interface and manual entries).

Figure 182 – Tank Capacity Change Confirmation Screen
6.23.4 Tank Levels Calibration
In order for the TLA100 to indicate an accurate tank level, it must know how the resistance of the resistive tank level sender corresponds to the level of fluid in the tank. There are three methods of calibrating the tank level sender:
Revision 1.4.16a Page 165
DSM150 User’s Manual
• Custom Calibration – use for non-rectangular tanks or non-standard sensors (also, most accurate in any case, but requires more effort)
• Set to American Standard (240-33 ohm) – use for rectangular tanks using a tank level sender with the standard American resistance range (240 ohms at full, 33 ohms at empty).
• Set to European Standard (0-180 ohm) – use for rectangular tanks using a tank level sender with the standard European resistance range (0 ohms at full, 180 ohms at empty).
6.23.4.1 Custom Calibration
The Custom Calibration setting will provide the most accurate tank level readings under any circumstances, but it requires that you go through a process in which you gradually fill the tank, stopping periodically to input the current fluid level. The TLA100 will measure the sender resistance at each point and create a custom calibration map which relates the resistance of the sender with the
fluid levels. Figure 183 below shows a screenshot of the DSM150 with the Custom Calibration option
highlighted. Custom calibration is necessary for non-rectangular tanks and for non-standard values of resistances for tank level senders. To perform custom calibration of the tank level sender, use the
Scroll Up ( ) or Scroll Down ( ) keys to move the highlighted cursor over the “Custom
Calibration…” menu item. Then, press the Enter key ( ) to confirm your selection and begin the calibration process.
Figure 183 – Performing Custom Calibration of the Tank Level Adapter
The first step in custom calibration of the tank level sender is to provide an estimated capacity of the tank. This estimated capacity must be within +/- 25% of the actual capacity. To set the estimated tank capacity, use the arrow keys to adjust the displayed value until the desired value is shown. Then, press the Accept key to confirm your selection and continue with the calibration process. If you desire to stop the calibration process, pressing the Back Key ( ) will end the process and return you to the Tank Levels Calibration menu.
Page 166 Revision 1.4.16a
Figure 184 – Tank Levels Calibration Capacity Estimation
The next step in the calibration process is to fill the tank and indicate the volume of fluid in the tank at various points while filling the tank. This process should be started with an empty tank. You only need to indicate two calibration points for a rectangular tank, and can use up to 16 calibration points for a
tank with a more complex shape. Figure 185 shows a screenshot of the first calibration step. Enter
the first calibration point with an empty tank (0.0 Gallons/liters) by pressing the Accept key. The
“Current Point” highlight will advance to the next point.
Figure 185 – Empty Level Calibration
Each time you press Accept during this process and after the Current Point highlight advances, put more fluid into the tank, and note the total volume of fluid pumped into the tank at this point. Use the
Increase
and Decrease keys to set the current tank level to the appropriate value, and then press the
Accept
key to store the current calibration point and advance to the next calibration point. Figure 186
shows a screenshot of these intermediate calibration points.
Revision 1.4.16a Page 167

Figure 186 – Intermediate Level Calibration
Once the tank is completely full, instead of pressing the Accept key to store the current calibration point, press the Complete key. This will complete the calibration process and will also adjust the tank
capacity to the currently indicated level. Figure 187 below shows the calibration screen at the last
point with the full tank level (and thus the tank capacity) set to 101 gallons.

Figure 200 – Tank Capacity Change Confirmation Screen
6.24.4 Tank Levels Calibration
In order for the TLM100 to indicate an accurate tank level, it must know the geometry of the tank.
There are two methods of calibrating the tank level sender:
• Custom Calibration – use for non-rectangular tanks (also, most accurate in any case, but requires more effort)
• Rectangular Tank – By inputting some dimensions of a rectangular tank, the TLM100 is able to interpolate the volume of liquid from the distance to the surface.
Page 176 Revision 1.4.16a
6.24.4.1 Custom Calibration
The Custom Calibration setting will provide the most accurate tank level readings under any circumstances, but it requires that you go through a process in which you gradually fill the tank, stopping periodically to input the current fluid level. The TLM100 will measure the distance to the surface at each point and create a custom calibration map which relates the fluid levels to the volume
in the tank. Figure 183 below shows a screenshot of the DSM150 with the Custom Calibration option
highlighted. Custom calibration is necessary for non-rectangular tanks. To perform custom calibration of the tank level sender, use the Scroll Up ( ) or Scroll Down ( ) keys to move the highlighted cursor over the “Custom Calibration…” menu item. Then, press the Enter key ( ) to confirm your selection and begin the calibration process.
Figure 201 – Performing Custom Calibration of the Tank Level Monitor
The first step in custom calibration of the tank level monitor is to provide an estimated capacity of the tank. This estimated capacity must be within +/- 25% of the actual capacity. To set the estimated tank capacity, use the Increase and Decrease keys to adjust the displayed value until the desired value is shown. Then, press the Accept key to confirm your selection and continue with the calibration process. If you desire to stop the calibration process, pressing the Abort key ( ) will end the process and return you to the Tank Levels Calibration menu.
Revision 1.4.16a
Figure 202 – Tank Levels Calibration Capacity Estimation
Page 177
DSM150 User’s Manual
The next step in the calibration process is to fill the tank and indicate the volume of fluid in the tank at various points while filling the tank. This process should be started with an empty tank. You only need to indicate two calibration points for a rectangular tank, and can use up to 16 calibration points for a
tank with a more complex shape. Figure 203 shows a screenshot of the first calibration step. Enter
the first calibration point with an empty tank (0.0 Gallons/liters) by pressing the Accept key. The
“Current Point” highlight will advance to the next point.
Figure 203 – Empty Level Calibration
Each time you press Accept during this process and after the Current Point highlight advances, put more fluid into the tank, and note the total volume of fluid pumped into the tank at this point. Use the
Increase and Decrease keys to set the current tank level to the appropriate value, and then press the
Accept
key to store the current calibration point and advance to the next calibration point. Figure 204
shows a screenshot of these intermediate calibration points.
Page 178
Figure 204 – Intermediate Level Calibration
Revision 1.4.16a
Once the tank is completely full, instead of pressing the Accept key to store the current calibration point, press the Complete key. This will complete the calibration process and will also adjust the tank
capacity to the currently indicated level. Figure 205 below shows the calibration screen at the last
point with the full tank level (and thus the tank capacity) set to 101 gallons.
Figure 205 – Full Level Calibration
After you press accept, a confirmation screen will appear showing completion of the calibration process and the new tank capacity value. A screenshot of this calibration screen is shown below in
Figure 206 – Custom Tank Level Calibration Confirmation Screen
6.24.4.2 Rectangular Tank
If you have a rectangular tank, and you know the capacity of the tank, you can easily calibrate the
sender by using the “Rectangular Tank” menu item. Figure 207 below shows this option highlighted.
Use the Scroll Up ( ) or Scroll Down ( ) keys to move the highlight over this menu item, and then press the Enter key ( ).

6.30.3 Installation Offset Calibration
The WSO100 comes from the factory with a preset orientation, so that mounting it with the orientation marks facing the bow of the vessel, the sensor will read 0° apparent wind angle when the vessel is sailing directly into the wind (please refer to the WSO100 User’s Manual for details).
However, the WSO100 can be installed in any orientation with respect to the vessel and any misalignment with respect to the factory preset can be easily compensated for using the Installation
Offset calibration menu item. To perform installation offset calibration, use the Scroll Up ( ) or
Scroll Down ( ) keys to move the highlighted cursor to the “Installation Offset Calibration…” menu item, and then press the Enter key ( ). The Installation Offset screen then appears, which is shown

7.14 Switch/Breaker Display
The DSM150 is capable of controlling loads controlled by a Maretron DCR100 DC Relay, a Carling
OctoPlex AC Box or DC Box, or other NMEA 2000 ® load controller which uses NMEA Command of the 127501 Binary Switch Bank Status PGN for control.
The display may be set up in several different configurations:
• Single-Indicator Light – this creates a single switch/breaker
• 2 rows – this creates four rows of single switches/breakers
• 3 rows – this creates three rows of single switches/breakers
• 4 rows – this creates four rows of single switches/breakers
• 2 rows, 2 columns – this creates two rows by two columns of a single switch/breaker
Figure 246 Below shows a Favorite Screens Setup screen with a single window configured with the “4
rows” configuration.
Page 206
Figure 246 – Configuration of Switch/Breaker Display
Revision 1.4.16a
The maximum number of switches/breakers you can have on a single screen is 16 (the “4 Quarters” format, with all four windows set to use the “4 rows” or “2 rows, 2 column” switch/breaker configurations.
In order to configure the individual switch/breaker controls, press the “Enter” key with the selected type highlighted to display a menu with entries for each switch/breaker in the window being configured, as shown in ? below.
Figure 247 – Selection of an Individual Switch/Breaker
Figure 248 below shows the configuration menu for each individual switch/breaker.
Figure 248 – Configuration of an Individual Switch/Breaker
Each switch/breaker has several configurable parameters:
• Color-Off – select the color to be displayed when the controlled load is in the OFF state. The default color is gray.
• Color-On – select the color to be displayed when the controlled load is in the ON state. The default color is green.
Revision 1.4.16a Page 207
DSM150 User’s Manual
• Color-Error – select the color to be displayed when the controlled load is in the ERROR state, which may indicate a tripped breaker. The default color is red.
• Type – you may choose between the default value of “Toggle”, in which case the switch/breaker changes state every time you press the power button while it is highlighted, or
“Momentary”, in which case the switch-breaker is turned on only while you are pressing the power button while it is highlighted.
• Instance – the instance number of the switch bank containing the switch/breaker to be controlled.
• Channel – the channel number of the switch/breaker to be controlled.
• Title – Sets the text string to be displayed on the switch/breaker. Please refer to Section
• Font Size – Sets the size of the font used to display the label on the switch/breaker. You may select Small, Medium, or Large (default).
• Restore Factory Defaults – This restores the switch/breaker to factory default settings.
In order to control a switch/breaker using the DSM150, create a screen with a switch/breaker which has been configured to refer to the switch bank instance and indicator number of the switch/breaker you want to control.
In normal operating mode, use the “Scroll Up” and “Scroll Down” keys to change to the screen containing the switch/breaker. Once that screen is displayed, follow these steps to change a load’s state:
1. Press the “Enter” key for approximately one second. This will place the display into “Control mode”, and one of the switches/breakers on the screen will be highlighted with a thick border,
2. If there is more than one switch/breaker on the screen, you may use the “Scroll Up” and “Scroll
Down” keys to change the highlight to a different switch/breaker.
3. Once the switch/breaker for the load you want to control is selected, then press the “Power” key. The load referenced by the switch/breaker will be commanded to change state, and the changed state will be reflected in the switch/breaker.
4. To change other loads, repeat the process.
5. To stop controlling loads, press the “Lights” key to return to normal operating mode. The highlight will disappear.

8 Alerts
The DSM150 can act as both an Alert Source and an Alert Monitor. An Alert Source monitors parameters received on the NMEA2000 ® bus against a user entered threshold, and displays alerts when parameters go out of range. It will also transmit this Alert information to other Alert Monitors on the bus (Platinum copies of N2KView™ or other DSM150s) and sound the ALM100 annunciators as required. Operators may accept or cancel the Alerts from the buttons on the front of the DSM150.
An Alert Monitor, the DSM150 monitors the bus for Alert messages from Alert Sources, and displays the remote Alert information on the DSM150’s screen. Operators may accept or cancel the remote
Alerts from the buttons on the front of the DSM150, in which case an Alert Command Message is sent back to the Alert Source.
8.1 Displaying Active Alerts
Active Alerts are overlaid on all the favorite screens.
Figure 250 – Alert Display
The number of Alerts with pending operator actions is shown in the top right corner. This will be colored red if the highest pending Alert is an Alarm and yellow if it is a Warning. The description of the active Alert with the highest priority is shown at the bottom left of the screen. This will be colored red if
follows:
Active
– The enclosing box will flash between a solid red or yellow and white.
Accepted – The enclosing box will be a solid red or yellow.
Awaiting Cancel
– The enclosing box will be outlined in red or yellow, as shown in Figure 250.
8.1.1 Alert Status Screen
The list of Active Alerts is displayed in tabular form on the Alert Status Screen. This Screen may be displayed by selecting the Alert Status option from the Main Menu.
Page 210 Revision 1.4.16a
8.2 Accepting or Cancelling an Alert
Active Alerts may be accepted (4.3.2) by the operator to indicate that the operator has taken
responsibility for the Alert. Alerts that have been triggered and the cause removed without being accepted by a user must be cleared.
8.2.1 From a Favorite Screen
The Alert with the highest priority that requires accepting or cancelling is shown at the bottom left of
the screen (see Figure 250). This Alert may easily be accepted or cancelled without changing
screens by pressing the Power button .
8.2.2 From the Alert Status Screen
Use the Scroll Up and Scroll Down buttons to select the Alert to be accepted or cancelled, and then press the Enter button. An Alert Description screen will be displayed with the details of the Alert and the cursor positioned over the Accept/Cancel Alert entry.
Revision 1.4.16a Page 211
DSM150 User’s Manual
Pressing the Enter button at this point will Accept or Cancel the Alert.
8.3 Adding an Alert
Alerts are created by selecting the parameter to be monitored (e.g. Depth), and then selecting the type of Alert (e.g. High Alert). Start by going to the Add New Alert entry in the Alert Setup Menu.

This allows the entry of all the alert parameters, which can vary depending on the type of alert chosen. These parameters are:
8.3.1 Enable/Disable Control
This allows individual alerts to be enabled or disabled. The decision to disable an Alert must be made very carefully, as it nullifies the purpose for having alerts. The options here are:
• Enable
• Disable
The desired option is selected using the Scroll Up and Scroll Down buttons.
8.3.2 Alert Type
This allows the selection of the type of Alert (see paragraph 0). The options here are:
• Alarm
• Warning
The desired option is selected using the Scroll Up and Scroll Down buttons.
8.3.3 Priority
Each Alarm has a unique priority ranging from 0 (highest priority) to 3999 (lowest priority). Each
Warning has a unique priority in the same range; however the entire set of Warning Priorities is considered lower than the Alarm Priorities. No two Alarms / Warnings may have the same priorities, and, when scrolling through the priorities, numbers that are already in use will be omitted from the list.
The desired option is selected using the Scroll Up and Scroll Down buttons.
Revision 1.4.16a Page 213
DSM150 User’s Manual
8.3.4 Trigger Source
This allows the selection of the parameter to be monitored. The parameters are laid out as per
a single parameter on the bus.
8.3.4.1 Type
The Type corresponds to the category of data.
The desired option is selected using the Scroll Up and Scroll Down buttons.
8.3.4.2 Data
The Data corresponds to the Data Type of data.
The desired option is selected using the Scroll Up and Scroll Down buttons.
8.3.4.3 Instance
The Instance corresponds to the instance of the data type on the bus.
The desired option is selected using the Scroll Up and Scroll Down buttons.
8.3.5 Description
This is a textual field that will be displayed on the DSM150 and transmitted to Alert Slave devices. It is intended to describe the alert (e.g. Fire).
8.3.6 Location
This is a textual field that will be displayed on the DSM150 and transmitted to Alert Slave devices. It is intended to describe the location at which the problem was detected (e.g. Main Stateroom).
8.3.7 Trigger Configuration
This set of fields is used to describe the condition under which the alert will be triggered. The subfields will vary depending on the Trigger Type, which, in turn, is determined by the Trigger Source.
8.3.7.1 Trigger Type is High Alert
A high alert is used to signal you when a parameter value rises above a threshold you determine. For example, you can set an alert to occur whenever the freezer temperature rises above 0°C.
8.3.7.1.1 Description
A high alert and associated diagram are shown in the figure below.
Page 214 Revision 1.4.16a
Figure 253 – High Alert Parameters
A high alert is triggered (i.e. becomes an active alert) once an input signal has risen above the High
Alert Set Point and the Set Delay time has elapsed. If the Set Delay is set to zero, then the alert is immediately triggered once the input signal rises above the High Alert Set Point. The Set Delay is used to reduce false or spurious alerts. As an example, setting the Set Delay to 5 seconds will eliminate any temporary transitions of the input signal above the High Alert Set Point lasting less than
5 seconds from triggering an alert. Once the alert is triggered, it becomes an active alert. An alert remains active until
• The input signals falls below the High Alert Clear Point and the Clear Delay time has elapsed.
If the Clear Delay is set to zero, then the alert immediately transitions to the Awaiting Cancel once the input signal falls below the High Alert Clear Point (as shown in the example above).
• The user accepts the alert in which case it transitions into the Accepted state.
The Clear Delay is used to reduce false or spurious alerts.

Revision 1.4.16a Page 215
DSM150 User’s Manual
Figure 254 – Trigger Configuration – High Alert
Re-trigger Period – When you accept an alert, it will change to the “Accepted” state, and annunciators that are sounding for that alert will stop sounding. If the condition which caused the alert remains true after the amount of time in this field, the alert will return to the “Active” state, and annunciators will begin sounding again for that alert. The value is entered as minutes:seconds. If only one number is entered, it will be interpreted as seconds. If a value of
0:00 is entered, then the alert will never re-trigger.
Alert Set Point
– If the value of the parameter being monitored rises above the value in this field, the alert will become active.
Alert Set Delay – The parameter being monitored must rise above the Alert Set Point value for longer than the time in this field in order for an alert to become active. This can be used to prevent false alerts caused by parameter values that briefly have a value that would cause an alert but quickly return to the normal value range. The value is entered as minutes:seconds. If only one number is entered, it will be interpreted as seconds.
Alert Clear Point – If the alert is active and the parameter value falls below the value in this field, the alert will become inactive.
Alert Clear Delay – The parameter being monitored must fall below the Alert Clear Point value for longer than the time in this field in order for the alert to become inactive. The value is entered as minutes:seconds. If only one number is entered, it will be interpreted as seconds.
8.3.7.2 Trigger Type is Low Alert
A low alert is used to signal you when a parameter value falls below a threshold you determine. For example, you can set an alert to occur whenever the port engine oil pressure rises falls below 40 PSI.
8.3.7.2.1 Parameters
A low alert and associated diagram are shown in the figure below.
Page 216 Revision 1.4.16a
Figure 255 – Low Alert Parameters
A low alert is triggered (i.e. becomes an active alert) once an input signal has dropped below the Low
Alert Set Point and the Set Delay time has elapsed. If the Set Delay is set to zero, then the alert is immediately triggered once the input signal drops below the Low Alert Set Point. The Set Delay is used to reduce false or spurious alerts. As an example, setting the Set Delay to 5 seconds will eliminate any temporary transitions of the input signal above the Low Alert Set Point lasting less than
5 seconds from triggering an alert. Once the alert is triggered, it becomes an active alert. An alert remains active until:
• The input signals rises above the Low Alert Clear Point and the Clear Delay time has elapsed.
If the Clear Delay is set to zero, then the alert immediately becomes inactive once the input signal falls below the Low Alert Clear Point. The Clear Delay is used to reduce false or spurious alerts.
• The user accepts the alert (as shown in the example above).

Re-trigger Period
– When you accept an alert, it will change to the “Accepted” state, and annunciators that are sounding for that alert will stop sounding. If the condition which caused the alert remains true after the amount of time in this field, the alert will return to the “Active” state, and annunciators will begin sounding again for that alert. If a value of 0:00 is entered, then the alert will never re-trigger.
Alert Set Point – If the value of the parameter being monitored falls below the value in this field, the alert will become active.
Alert Set Delay – The parameter being monitored must fall below the Low Alert Set Point value for longer than the time in this field in order for an alert to become active. This can be used to prevent false alerts caused by parameter values that briefly have a value that would cause an alert but quickly return to the normal value range. The value is entered as minutes:seconds. If only one number is entered, it will be interpreted as seconds.
Alert Clear Point – If the alert is active and the parameter value rises above the value in this field, the alert will become inactive.
Alert Clear Delay – The parameter being monitored must rise above the Low Alert Clear Point value for longer than the time in this field in order for the alert to become inactive. The value is entered as minutes:seconds. If only one number is entered, it will be interpreted as seconds.
In this example, the set point may be described in more than one unit, so additional fields have been supplied so that the user can select the units of depth. Changing the units of the set point will also change the units of the clear point. The initial units displayed in these fields will correspond to those
set in the Units Dialog (see section 5.2.7).
8.3.7.3 Trigger Type is Data Unavailable Alert
The Data Unavailable Alert can be used in conjunction with other alert types when you need to know if a particular parameter is no longer being received on the network or is flagged as “not available” by the transmitting device. For instance, you probably would want to use a Data Unavailable Alert for the
Depth->Current Depth parameter, since it would be advisable to know if the depth sounder were to stop transmitting a depth reading or became unable to determine the depth due to fouling or some other reason. On the other hand, if you were to set a Data Unavailable Alert on Engine->Engine
Page 218 Revision 1.4.16a
Water Temperature parameter, you would then get an alert every time the ignition was switched off and the engine’s ECU stopped transmitting data.
8.3.7.3.1 Trigger Configuration
Figure 257 – Trigger Configuration – Data Unavailable Alert
Re-trigger Period
– When you accept an alert, it will change to the “Accepted” state, and annunciators that are sounding for that alert will stop sounding. If the condition which caused the alert remains true after the amount of time in this field, the alert will return to the “Active” state, and annunciators will begin sounding again for that alert. If a value of 0:00 is entered, then the alert will never re-trigger.
Alert Set Delay – If a valid value for the parameter being monitored is continually not received or has an invalid value for the amount of time specified in this field, the alert will become active.
Alert Clear Delay
– The parameter being monitored must continually be received with a valid value for longer than the time in this field in order for the alert to become inactive.
8.3.7.4 Trigger Type is On Alert
As opposed to high and low alerts that are associated with analog input signals (i.e., many different possible input values), there are also switch alerts that are associated with a binary input value
(sometimes called on or off, yes or no, enabled or disabled, set or reset, active or inactive). The switch alert is similar to the high and low alert except that there are no set or reset points. The mere fact that the switch is seen as On causes the alert to become an active alert (assuming the Set Delay is set to zero). Likewise, if the switch being monitored is seen as false (i.e., binary 0), then the alert becomes inactive (assuming the Clear Delay is set to zero). If the delays are not programmed to zero, then the switch must remain On for the Set Delay before the alert becomes active, and must remain
Off for the Clear Delay before the alert becomes inactive.

Re-trigger Period
– When you accept an alert, it will change to the “Accepted” state, and annunciators that are sounding for that alert will stop sounding. If the condition which caused the alert remains true after the amount of time in this field, the alert will return to the “Active” state, and annunciators will begin sounding again for that alert. If a value of 0:00 is entered, then the alert will never re-trigger.
Alert Set Delay – The condition for the parameter being monitored must be in its error condition for at least the set delay time before the alert will become active. An interesting use of the set delay when monitoring a bilge pump (for example) is to set the Set Delay to a large value (say
20 minutes). Now, if the bilge pump runs for more than 20 minutes at a time the alert will be triggered.
Alert Clear Delay
– The condition for the parameter being monitored must be not in its error condition for at least the clear delay time before the alert will become cleared.
8.3.7.5 Trigger Type is Off Alert
As opposed to high and low alerts that are associated with analog input signals (i.e., many different possible input values), there are also switch alerts that are associated with a binary input value
(sometimes called on or off, yes or no, enabled or disabled, set or reset, active or inactive). The switch alert is similar to the high and low alert except that there are no set or reset points. The mere fact that the switch is seen as Off causes the alert to become an active alert (assuming the Set Delay is set to zero). Likewise, if the switch being monitored is seen as On, then the alert becomes inactive
(assuming the Clear Delay is set to zero). If the delays are not programmed to zero, then the switch must remain Off for the Set Delay before the alert becomes active, and must remain On for the Clear
Delay before the alert becomes inactive.

8.3.7.7 Trigger Type is Outside Radius Alert
The Outside Radius Alert is used to signal an alert whenever the vessel moves outside a programmable distance in any direction away from a reference point (expressed as a longitude and latitude). This alert is useful when the vessel is anchored or moored and the vessel should not drift outside a perimeter and if it does, an alert is activated. The point of reference can be selected from
the current position or it can be manually entered. Figure 261 shows an Outside Radius Alert and
associated parameters. The Outside Radius Alert and the Anchor Alert are very similar. The radius of the Outside Radius Alert is specified in either Nautical Miles or Kilometers, while the radius of the
Anchor Alert is specified in Feet or Meters.

activated. The point of reference can be selected from the current position or it can be manually entered.
The Outside Radius Alert and the Anchor Alert are very similar. The Anchor Alert is designed to allow the input of relatively small radius values, and may be displayed graphically through the Anchor
Watch Display (section 7.1). The radius of the Outside Radius Alert is specified in either Nautical
Miles or Kilometers, while the radius of the Anchor Alert is specified in Feet or Meters.
See Section 8.3.7.7 for details of the configuration of the Anchor Alert.
8.3.7.10 Trigger Type is GPS Quality Alert
The accuracy, or quality, of a position fix provided by a GPS is dependent on the number of satellites used to compute the position. A position based on less than three satellites is considered a “1D” lock, three satellites is a “2D” lock, more than three satellites is a “3D” lock, and more than three satellites with SBAS is a “3D-DGPS” lock. These different locks are indicative of the quality or accuracy of the given position with 1D having the lowest quality and 3D-DGPS providing the highest quality. The GPS
Quality Alert is used to alert you if the quality of the position falls below a specified quality level.

Alert Set Point
– The Alert will be triggered when the qaulity of the GPS fix, as reported by the
GPS drops lower than the value specified in this field.
Possible Values are:
• 3D-DGPS (best quality)
• 3D-GPS
• 2D-GPS
• 1D-GPS fix
Revision 1.4.16a Page 225
DSM150 User’s Manual
Alert Set Delay
– When the quality of the GPS fix becomes lower than the quality specified in the
Alert Set Point field for longer than the time specified in the Alert Set Delay field, the alert will become active.
Alert Clear Point
– The Alert will be cleared when the quality of the GPS fix, as reported by the
GPS becomes better than the value specified in this field.
Possible values are the same as the Alert Set Point.
Alert Clear Delay – If the alert is active and the quality of the GPS fix becomes higher than the quality specified in the Alert Clear Point field for longer than the time specified in the Clear
Delay field, the alert will become inactive.
8.3.7.11 Trigger Type is Direction Alert
A Direction Alert is used to indicate that a heading or wind direction has changed from the reference direction more than a programmable amount. For example, once a heading has been established, an alert can be generated if the heading changes more than a specified amount. Direction Alerts may also be set for wind direction. The reference direction can be selected from the current direction
(heading or wind direction) or it can be manually entered. Figure 265 shows a Direction Alert and
associated parameters.
Page 226
Figure 265 – Direction Alert Parameters
Revision 1.4.16a
8.3.7.11.1 Trigger Configuration – Direction Alert
Figure 266 – Trigger Configuration – Direction Alert
Re-trigger Period – When you accept an alert, it will change to the “Accepted” state, and annunciators that are sounding for that alert will stop sounding. If the condition which caused the alert remains true after the amount of time in this field, the alert will return to the “Active” state, and annunciators will begin sounding again for that alert. If a value of 0:00 is entered, then the alert will never re-trigger.
Offset Set Point, Offset Set Delay – If the direction being monitored differs from the reference direction by more than the Offset Heading Set Point for longer than the time specified in the
Set Delay field, the alert will become active.
Offset Clear Point, Offset Clear Delay
– If the alert is active and the direction being monitored differs from the reference direction by less than the Offset Heading Clear Point for longer than the time specified in the Clear Delay field, the alert will become inactive.
Reference Heading / Reference Direction / Reference Course
– Enter the desired reference heading or direction into this field. If the monitored value differs from this value by more than the Offset Heading Set Point, the alert will be triggered.
Get Current Heading / Get Current Direction / Get Current Course
– Pressing or clicking on this button will transfer the current value of the heading or direction being monitored into the
Reference Heading / Reference Direction Field.
8.3.7.12 Trigger Type is Time Alert
The DSM150 can be configured with alerts that go active at a predetermined time, such as an alarm clock. These alerts can also be configured to become active periodically, making them useful for signaling watch changes (for example, every four hours) or as a personnel alarm (making sure a crew member is at the helm every 15 minutes).
When a Time Alert with a Repeat Interval of zero is accepted, it will be Disabled to prevent further triggering. When a Time Alert with a Repeat Interval greater than zero is accepted, it will transition to the Inactive state, waiting for the next time it should trigger.
Revision 1.4.16a Page 227
DSM150 User’s Manual
8.3.7.12.1 Trigger Configuration – Time Alert
Figure 267 – Alert Editor – Time Alert
Alert Time – The alert will become active at the time specified in this field. If the time specified has already passed, then the alarm will be set for the next day. Entering a number without the colon will assume that the hours are zero.
Repeat Interval
– The alert will become active again after the period specified in this field. For example, if the Alarm Time were set to 8:00 and the Repeat Interval were set to 1:00 (1 hour, zero minutes), the Alarm would become active again at 9:00, 10:00, and so on.
8.3.8 Local Audible
If the Local Audible field is set to Enabled, the speaker internal to the DSM150 will be activated when this Alert is triggered.
8.3.9 Tone
If Local Audible is enabled, the tone that is sounded on the DSM150 and the Remote Annunciators can be set here. This allows the user to configure the Alerts so that the alert can be identified from the tone. The values for Tone are:
Beeps – A continuous series of half second on, half second off beeps is sounded. This corresponds to the requirements for IMO Code 3.a
Continuous
– A continuous tone is sounded. This corresponds to the requirements for IMO Code
2
General Emergency – A series of seven one second on, one second off tones are sounded, followed by a single tone of 7 seconds on. The sequence is repeated. This corresponds to the requirements for IMO Code 1a (7 pulse) (General Emergency Alarm, SOLAS III/50, III/6.4)
Carbon Monoxide – This is a series of four one tenth second on, one tenth second off beeps followed by one and a half seconds of silence. The sequence is repeated. This corresponds to the requirements for Temporal 4 alarms *(T4, CO)
Fire – This is a series of three half a second on, half a second off beeps followed by one and a half seconds of silence. The sequence is repeated. This corresponds to the requirements for
Code-3 (ISO 8201, Smoke/Fire)

8.6 Setting the Vessel Operating Mode
The Vessel Operating Mode must be set on each DSM150. This is a potentially risky operation, in that Alerts that are Active in the existing mode may be ignored in the new Operating Mode. The
DSM150 will warn the operator about these Alerts to minimize the risk. However, if the new vessel status was transmitted to other Alert Sources that are unmanned, then the warnings would be lost.
For this reason, the Vessel Operating mode must be changed at each DSM150 or N2Kview, and those alerts, which would be disabled, noted by the user.
The Vessel Operating Mode is set through the Alert Setup Screen. Scroll Down to the required
Operating Mode entry, press Enter and then use the Scroll Up / Scroll Down buttons to select the new Mode. Press Enter to complete the operation.
