CU-M001 User manual CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION dl2 i nTroducTion The dual axis Doppler speed log system (DL2) works by the Doppler principle. This principle is that a sound bouncing off a moving object will change in frequency. This principle can be utilized by making a narrow beam of sound and analyzing the frequency of the returning sound.
CU-M001 User manual peed The screen presents speed through water (STW) used for the autopilot, radar and logged on the voyage data recorder (VDR). The speed data can also be used for setting limits on the rudder and stabilizer wings. It also shows speed over ground (SOG) used as a primary system for speed. Some of this information is also available from the GPS systems.
CU-M001 User manual CHAPTER 2: DL2 OPERATION un Time pages The DL2 display has 5 main runtime pages A-E, all except A can be deactivated.. Additional an optional “page 2.nd system” is available for use on DL21 systems to show STW from DL1 part of DL21.

CU-M001 User manual esulTanT and direcTion Options: This screen can show the resultant speeds of the vessel, and also the direction of the current. If a Gyro is connected and activated, the angles will be true, if not they will be relative. The length of the vector in the graphic to the left represents the speed.
CU-M001 User manual ocking Options: This page is designed to clearly show the speed over ground of the vessel, and is particularly useful during docking manouvres and general manouvring. If Gyro is connected with a valid ROT signal, the system will calculate the Aft speed based on the vessel length measurements entered in DL2 Menu.
CU-M001 User manual epTh Depth is measured on the two main measurement beams of the system. These are tilted at 30 degrees from vertical and will therefore measure in front of the sensor and to the side. As the system does not measure vertically, there is a danger that the beam will be bent (refracted) in the wa- ter as the water temperature (and therfore sound speed) changes.
CU-M001 User manual dl1 (o dl21) nly in Options: This page may be used in the DL21 dual system configuration. In this configuration the second DL1 Single axis system communicates internally (no ad- ditional wiring needed) with the DL2 and allows it to display the calibrated speeds from that system.

Trip information, otherwise the trip reset can be found in the DL setup menu. Trip can also be reset remotely as required in some standards, from SKIPPER multirepeaters, or by NMEA command oTal The Total value is the total distance sailed through water (using the STW value that should always be present) This value cannot be reset except by qualified service personel.
Page 19
CU-M001 User manual epTh Depth is calculated from the bottom track (SOG) signal. Depth from each individual beam can be plotted on a depth plot and the average of both can also be displayed. These depths are default from the sensor, and the draught setting must be used to make them display from the surface or from the hull bottom.

CU-M001 User manual RUNTIME SCREEN SETUP In this menu a runtime screen is selected on the left , and the available information is shown on the menus on the right. The first items are the main information, and the items information 1-5 allow the configuration of the information boxes on the right of the runtime screens.
It is therefore necessary to calibrate speed logs once in place. SKIPPER speed logs have 4 parameters that need to be corrected by calibration. 1. Temperature. 1. Angular sensor installation angle (heading error) 2.
Page 24
CU-M001 User manual alibraTion TaTus The first calibration page is the “Calibration status”.(Indicated in green in below picture) The page is set up to have an overview of calibration of the promary (speed and mounting) and secondary sensors (tilt and temperature) . The system has 5 default speed calibration points. Each of these can be adjusted within the indicated speed zone.
Page 25
CU-M001 User manual alibraTion nsTallaTion angle A DL2 is measuring speed speed through water (STW) and speed over ground (SOG) in 2 axis. Longitudal and transversal. For correct longitudal and transversal measument the sensor needs to know forward direction of the vessel.
Page 26
CU-M001 User manual Fine adjust Installation angle in software Installation angle offset in the software is recommended to fine adjust the angle inside +/-10deg. Allthough the installation error in the software may be set to +/-180deg. The software will present “live” (NOW) speed and angle of STW and SOG. Any deviation between the two measurements will, in most cases, be caused by current in the water.
CU-M001 User manual alibraTion peed The DL2 system measures 2 parameters; Speed Over Ground (SOG), and Speed Through Water. Both these need calibrating , and calibration values may be slightly different for each. SOG can be calibrated in two ways. (manual and sea test). Once correctly calibrated, the system will use the secondary sensors to ensure that any small devaitions from the main calibration of speed are compensated.
Page 28
CU-M001 User manual ea TesT peed alibraTion The Sea test method of calibration takes account of water current, and drag of the water by the vessel (that may cause lower measurements for STW) This should be performed when the vessel is new, the sensor is changed, or if the calibration data is questioned or deemed low quality by the systems internal control systems.
Page 29
CU-M001 User manual Turn the vessel and repeat at the same speed. If the resulting factors look correct, click ‘Save’ to transfer the data into the calibration number on the right. If you wish to perform a second calibration. move to the next calibration number and repeat. During and after each leg a distance will be shown in 0.001NM resolution.
CU-M001 User manual alibraTion emperaTure Speed sensors have a temperature sensor placed close to the front face of the transducer. This is designed to measure the water temperature. Although adjusted at the factory, In some installations the heat generated by the sensor may slightly change the temperature sensor offset. This can be adjusted using the temperature calibration page.
