  5. questionWhich Maretron products are required for me to display true wind referenced to ground speed?
    In order to display true wind referenced to ground speed you will need a WSO100, a GPS200, a SSC200, and a display capable of computing true wind referenced to ground speed. The WSO100 measures the apparent wind while the GPS200 provides Speed Over Ground (SOG) and Course Over Ground (COG), the ...

  6. questionWhat are the weights and dimensions of Maretron products?


  7. questionIs it possible to change the baud rate of the SSC200 NMEA 0183 port?
    Yes, the baud rate can be changed from the default rate of 4800 baud to 38,400 baud. Please refer to the users manual for changing the baud rate. Note: The SSC200 compass updated to firmware version 2.0.11, a user can configure the 0183 baud rate using a DSM250 multi function display.

  8. questionHow do I set a "Device Instance" for a Maretron sensor using the DSM250?
    To set a "Device Instance" for a Maretron sensor using the DSM250, simply press the enter key (far right hand button) to view the "Menu Mode", scroll to "Configuration", hit enter, select "Device Configuration", hit enter, scroll to the desired device you wish to change the instance on, press en ...

  9. questionHow do I display the SSC200 rate of turn on Maretron's DSM200 or DSM250 display?
    You display the SSC200 rate of turn 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 rate of turn and press enter. Scroll to "Data:" and press enter. Scroll to "Heading" a ...

  10. questionHow do I display the SSC200 magnetic heading on Maretron's DSM200 or DSM250 display?
    You display the SSC200 magnetic heading 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 magnetic heading and press enter. Scroll to "Data:" and press ente ...

  11. questionHow close can I get wires to the SSC200 before I start adversely effecting the compass?
    Small wires carrying small currents (less than 1 amp) should be kept at least 18 inches away from the SSC200 and even further if practical where larger wires with large currents need to be even further. Additionally, after the compass has been deviated, ferrous metals should not be moved close t ...

  12. questionI see that Maretron's DSM200 and DSM250 displays have a SSC200 configuration setting called "Reset Factory Defaults", what is this?
    Maretron's DSM200 and DSM250 displays have a SSC200 configuration setting called "Reset Factory Defaults", which is used to return the SSC200 to its factory settings. Resetting the SSC200 erases the deviation table, clears the installation offset, resets the installation orientation to normal, s ...

  13. questionHow do I deviate the SSC200?
    The SSC200 can be deviated in several ways, please refer to the SSC200 User Manual for instructions. It's always best to calibrate the rate of turn gyro before you deviate the compass; instructions for this process can also be found in the user manual.

  14. questionI see that Maretron's DSM200 and DSM250 displays have a SSC200 configuration setting called "Rate of Turn Zero Offset Calibration...", what is this?
    Maretron's DSM200 and DSM250 displays have a SSC200 configuration setting called "Rate of Turn Zero Offset Calibration...", which is used to calibrate the rate of turn gyro found within the SSC200. Rate gyros tend to drift over temperature (i.e., indicate that the vessel is turning all though it ...

  15. questionI navigate using true heading and not magnetic heading; how do I use the SSC200 compass and N2KView software to view my heading in true?
    The SSC200 compass outputs heading information in magnetic form and before N2KView can display true heading, the variation must be known. One source of variation is the Maretron GPS antenna/receiver (GPS100). If an SSC200 and GPS100 are connected together on the network, the true heading can be ...

  16. questionWhich NMEA 0183 sentences does the SSC200 receive?
    The SSC200 receives the following NMEA0183 sentences or messages: RMC , Recommended Minimum Specific GNSS Data VTG , Course Over Ground and Ground Speed PMAREXE , Maretron Proprietary Execute Sentence PMARSETPX, and Maretron Proprietary Set Period Sentence.

  17. questionHow do I calibrate the SSC200 pitch to read zero using Maretron's DSM200 or DSM250 display?
    You can calibrate the SSC200 pitch to read zero when the vessel is sitting flat in the water using a DSM200 or DSM250 display. To zero the pitch, enter menu mode, scroll to "Configuration..." and press enter. Scroll to "Device Configuration..." and press enter. Scroll to the SSC200 and press ent ...

  18. questionWhat are the approximate dimensions of the SSC200?
    The SSC200 is approximately 2.05" tall, 3.25" in length and width not including the supplied the mounting brackets.

  19. questionWhat is an SSC200?
    The Maretron SSC200 is a solid state, magnetic compass that is capable of measuring 1) heading, 2) pitch, 3) roll, and 4) rate of turn. The information is broadcast over an NMEA 0183 connection or an NMEA 2000 network where the information is available for any or all NMEA 2000 compatible product ...

  20. questionI see that Maretron's DSM200 and DSM250 displays have a SSC200 configuration setting called "NMEA 2000 PGN Enable/Disable...", what is this?
    Maretron's DSM200 and DSM250 displays have a SSC200 configuration setting called "NMEA 2000 PGN Enable/Disable?", which is used to turn on and off specific messages that are transmitted by the SSC200.
