 Using the N2KAnalyzer how do I recover a device?
The N2KAnalyzer software can restore a devices software using the following method: Select the affected device(represented by a row with light gray serial number shown), right-click to highlight the row, select "Update selected device software". A window will prompt you to enter the device' ...
- What are the Voltage specifications for each Maretron device?
Maretron Model Device Description NMEA2000 Operating Voltage Engine/Battery Interface SSC200 NMEA 2000 Solid State Compass HW 1.0 9 to 16 Volts USB100 NMEA 2000 / NMEA 0183 Gateway 9 to 16 Volts DSM200 NMEA 2000 Multi-function Display 9 to 16 Volts GPS100 NMEA 2000 GPS Antenna / ...
- What type of information can be viewed on Maretron's display products, and what products are required to generate the data to be displayed?
To get an understanding of what parameters Maretron's displays are capable of showing, and what equipment is necessary for generating the displayed data, please see the attached file, which is entitled "Maretron Capability Matrix.pdf".
- Can Maretron's DSM250 display or N2KAnalyzer configure certain Airmar transducers?
Yes, Maretron's multi-function color display (DSM250) or Maretron's N2KAnalyzer configuration tool (used in conjunction with the USB100 gateway) can be used to configure certain Airmar transducers. Please see the attached pdf file for a table of the products and parameters that can be configured.
- What are the weights and dimensions of Maretron products?
- How do I clear the DST100 Speed Through Water (STW) calibration using Maretron's DSM200 or DSM250 display?
You clear the Speed Through Water (STW) calibration on individual DSM200s or DSM250s in the following way. Enter the menu mode, scroll to "Configuration..." and press enter. Scroll to "Device Configuration..." and press enter. Scroll to the DST100 and press enter. Scroll to "Clear Speed Calibrat ...
- Why doesn't the DST100 transmit depth when it is out of the water?
The DST100 is designed to measure the speed of sound through water, not air. When the DST100 is out of the water it either won't transmit the depth or it will transmit the wrong depth.
- What is "Dead rise Angle"?
In the context of the DST100, dead rise angle is the angle between the bottom surface of the DST100 and the horizon. A flat bottom boat has a dead rise angle of 0°, whereas a deep V-hull might cause the DST100 to exit the vessel at an angle. The DST100 needs to be mounted at less than 23° ...
- Are there other mounting option for the DST100 besides the standard plastic through hull housing?
Yes, Maretron offers optional through hulll housings in bronze and stainless steel. The Maretron part numberfor the bronze housing is M33-100 and the Maretron part number for the stainless steel housing is M33-495-01 The plastic and bronze housings use the same size hole in the hull (2 inches or ...
- I see that Maretron's DSM200 and DSM250 displays have a DST100 configuration setting called "Clear Speed Calibration:", what is this?
Maretron's DSM200 and DSM250 displays have a DST100 configuration setting called "Clear Speed Calibration:", which is used wipe out or clear the multiplier used by the displays to adjust the Speed Through Water (STW) value coming from a DST100.
- How much electrical power does the DST100 use?
The DST100 on average uses less than one half of a watt.
- How do I display the DST100 trip log using Maretron's DSM200 or DSM250 display?
You display the DST100 trip log information on a DSM200 or DSM250 in the following way. Enter menu mode, scroll to "Favorite Screen Setup..." and press enter. Scroll to the favorite screen where you would like to view the trip log and press enter. Scroll to "Data:" and press enter. Scroll to "Sp ...
- Why do I hear a clicking sound when the DST100 is plugged in?
The clicking sound is the DST100 transmitting a sound wave. The sound wave is reflected off the bottom and returns to the DST100. The DST100 calculates the distance to the bottom by measuring the round trip time of the sound wave.
- What is the minimum Speed Through Water (STW) that the DST100 will measure?
The DST100 accurately measures Speed Through Water (STW) down to 1 knot.
- I see that Maretron's DSM200 and DSM250 displays have a DST100 configuration setting called "Transducer Depth Offset:", what is this?
Transducer offset is either 1) the distance from the waterline to the transducer (DST100 bottom surface), or 2) the distance from the transducer to the bottom of the vessel. Maretron display products (DSM200, DSM250, and N2KView) add the transducer offset value to the depth reading to produce th ...
- What is the operating frequency of the DST100?
The DST100 operates at 235KHz.
- I see that Maretron's DSM200 and DSM250 displays have a DST100 configuration setting called "Trip log:", what is this?
Maretron's DSM200 and DSM250 displays have a DST100 configuration setting called "Trip Log:", which is used to reset the trip log information back to zero.
- Is it possible to calibrate Speed Through Water (STW) within the DST100?
Unfortunately, the DST100 can not be calibrated for Speed Through Water (STW), however, the DSM200 and DSM250 can adjust the values coming from the DST100 so that you can effectively calibrate STW. On a DSM200 or DSM250, enter the menu mode, scroll to "Configuration..." and press enter. Scroll t ...
- Why doesn't the DST100 work when it is out of the water?
The DST100 was designed to operate in water not air. Sometimes you may get a reading in air, but the reading will not be accurate because sound travels slower through the air than water.
- What is a DST100?
A DST100 is a product that is mounted through the hull below the water line of a vessel and is used to measure water depth, speed through water, sea water temperature, depth transducer offset, resettable trip log, cumulative log. All of this information is transmitted over an NMEA 2000 network w ...
