The error "Repeater type synchro" for the MSA DAC-109 likely refers to issues with the connected synchro-type repeater. Possible causes include:
- Wrong settings of reference and phase voltages of the synchro (selsyn), causing nonuniform or jerky rotation. - Malfunctioning connections, such as loose or oxidized terminals, poor soldering, or damaged cables. - Mechanical malfunctions in the repeater. - Incorrect or missing initial position data for analog repeaters.
To resolve it, ensure correct voltage settings, check all connections, and verify initial position data is entered.

This operating manual (hereinafter referred to as OM) is intended to describe the structure, operating principles, technical specifications and service of Course Translator DAC-109 (hereinafter referred to as the Product, the DAC). In addition to the instructions given in this document, the safety regulations and rules applicable in the field shall be observed.
Operating manual DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT ESCRIPTION The Product converts digital heading data received in NMEA format into syn- chrosignals required to control analog repeaters and other selsyn-based equipment. The DAC may be used as a digital repeater to display the current heading data. AIN TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 1.2.1 Technical specifications of the Product are represented in Table 1.

Electric voltage relative to which another voltage is counted. 1.2.2 Additional units may be connected to the Product. Technical specifica- tions of the units are represented in Tables 2–4.
Operating manual ESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OF THE RODUCT 1.3.1 Description The Product receives digital heading value from NMEA 0183 signal sources and converts it into output sine-wave voltage in order to connect selsyn-receiver windings. Herewith the amplitude of oscillations is set up in such a way that the selsyn-receiver will take a position according to the received digital heading value.
Course Translator DAC-109 1.3.2 Controls and indication LEDs The Product is produced in a metal casing, where LCD, keyboard, piano type switch (ON / OFF), controls and LEDs are located, see Figure 2. For the description of the controls and LEDs, see Table 5.
