CU-M001 User manual CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION DL2 Introduction 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.
In time this will help reduce service visits and increase the probability of first time fix. Inserting a USB stick into the electronic unit causes the system to log all the available parameters, and these files can be sent to skipper or your service provider to diagnose errors in the system Page 8 of 40...
CU-M001 User manual CHAPTER 2: DL2 OPERATION Run 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 Page A-E Navigation Pages can be changed by using the “Navigate” arrows on the lower right side of the screen. In each of the pages A-E the main area is programmable to enable/disable required information. Page A is not possible to disable. SOG is always on in page A. Configuration and enabling of pages is performed in “config”...

CU-M001 User manual Page A Primary Data Options: This screen shows the primary data of the system. The parameters shown can be selected or removed, and the information on the side panel can be selected The shown values are resultant values combine both the ahead (Longitudinal) and sideways (Transvesal) data.
CU-M001 User manual Page B User selectable Options: This Screen can be used to display combinations of data either as a vector with large arrows (as shown), or as a resultant and direction symbol. The Information sidebar can be programmed to show whatever is available Page 13 of 40 2021-06-24...
CU-M001 User manual Page C Resultant 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 Page D Docking 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 Page E Depth 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 Page 2nd Data From DL1 (Only in DL21) 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.

DL setup menu. Trip can also be reset remotely as required in some standards, from SKIPPER multi-repeaters, or by NMEA command. If presented on the main screen, the trip and total through water will show in blue, and the ground values will show in green/yellow.
Page 19
CU-M001 User manual Depth 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.
CU-M001 User manual Calibration Status 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.
CU-M001 User manual Calibration. Installation 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 Calibration, Speed 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 Sea test (Speed Calibration): 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 On the ‘SEA TEST’ calibration page Enter the calibration leg distance into the middle field, and then sail along the line at a constant speed, pressing the “Start Leg 1” and “Stop Leg 1” at the beginning and end as instructed. If the system has GPS on an input (VTG) then the system can be made to automatically stop the leg when the desired distance has been sailed.
Page 30
CU-M001 User manual 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 at another speed, move to the next calibration number and repeat. GPS The distance the vessel has sailed based on the GPS input Water, the distance the vessel has sailed through water based on the current calibrations (this will be more or less than GPS depending on the water current)
CU-M001 User manual Calibration, Temperature 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.
CU-M001 User manual ALERT INFORMATION The speed log systems include optional alerts. Depending on the way the system is set up, alert are available for Alert type Text Adjustment High Speed - The vessel sails SPEED HI On information panel (long too fast press) or in Alert setup menu Low Speed - The vessel sails...
CU-M001 User manual Speed alerts Alerts can be set for high speed and low speed, If in use, they should be made accessible as informations on the right hand side. In this case they can be changed by pressing the information for 2 seconds.
Other internal parameters If it finds an error, . Press the SKIPPER Logo on the left of the test with error and check which parameters are not approved. If this gives no help, contact SKIPPER service or your local dealer. A full list of SKIPPER dealers is available on www.skipper.no.
The system will present the GPS data while this function is in use to prevent interference with navigation.
