Page 25: Doppler Log Principle
Bottom Track Characteristics DL850 will try to aquire a bottom track when the depth is between 2 and appx. 70 m, depending on the bottom conditions. If conditions for Water Track operations are also within the operation param- eters, both Bottom Track and Water Track data will be aquired. -
Page 26: Power On/Off
If no bottom is detected in the calculated window, the window is gradually increased in size until the full time and strength window is used. Power ON/OFF During normal daily operation, the system may be switched off from all operation menus. This operation does not disconnect the system from the power supply, but all power consuming compo- nents are switched off. -

Power consumption is appx. 50 W at 24V, appx. 70W at 115/230V. If the AC power system is 115V, DL850 may be prepared for 115V AC by re-connecting the connectors J102, J103 as shown in appendix drawing DL8-B-002 Fuses is shown in fig.4.4 for 230/115 VAC and 24 V DC.

NMEA interface The NMEA output provides NMEA0183 format depth information for other equipment with NMEA0183 inputs. Baud rate is 4800 or 9600, 8 bit, No parity. Several messages may be selected on Screen 7 and the enabled messages are transmitted with maximal internal of 1.8 seconds. The NMEA inputs accept position, heading and UTC time messages from various navigators and compasses. -

Screen 7 is used for verification of received NMEA messages and control of transmitted NMEA depth messages. The baud-rate may be set to 4800 or 9600, 4800 being the more common. When a NMEA talker is connected to one of the DL850 inputs, all received messages will be dis- played on the screen. - Page 47 Heading, compass HCC,xxx.

Page 48: Dl850 Calibration Procedure
6.DL850 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE DL850 speed error can be caused basically by 2 reasons: angular sensor installation error and different way of water propagation along the hull, which depends on the hull’s shape and vessel’s speed. All calibration functions are concentrated on the Calibration screen. In order to select this screen, push “screens”... -
Page 49: I Nstallation Angular Error Correction
NSTALLATION ANGULAR ERROR CORRECTION Before conducting speed calibration trips, it is recommended to set compensation for installation angular error. To do this, the vessel should go with a constant speed (preferably 50% of full speed or higher) at constant direction for 2-3 minutes. The impact of wind and waves must be minimal. The averaged meas- ured drift angle is indicated in the lower/right part of the calibration screen. - Page 50 and FINISH/leg2 when passing the start and finish marks accordingly. Note: if for some reason only one leg is used, it is necessary to skip the second one just by pressing 2 times mentioned above button. Note: if it is necessary to repeat backward leg, while keeping forward leg information unchanged, press START/leg1 button and keep it pressed 3-4 seconds until the button changes its status to leg2.

Page 51: M Anual Adjustment Of Calibration Table
ANUAL ADJUSTMENT OF CALIBRATION TABLE If it is required to make changes in the calibration table, received after calibration trips, or for some reason calibration trips haven’t been conducted, it is possible to adjust calibration settings manually. In last case, DGPS speed can be used as a referenced (real) speed, but the impact of wind, waves and current must be insignificant. -
