Page 17: General
® Congratulations on your purchase of the Maretron DSM250 NMEA 2000 Multi-function Color Graphic Display. Maretron has designed and built your display to the highest standards for years of dependable and accurate service. ® Maretron‟s DSM250 is a high-resolution color display that allows easy interpretation of NMEA 2000 instrument and navigation data through custom display configurations, with an easy-to-use five-key illuminated keypad.
Page 18: Installation
The DSM250 has three mounting options, which includes surface mounting, flush mounting, or an optional gimbal mounting. Maretron suggests a location at which the display can be viewed from a relatively straight angle, and at which the keys are easily pressed.
Page 19: Flush Mounting The Dsm250
NOTE: When flush mounting the DSM250, ensure that the vent port (a small hole near the NMEA 2000 cable connector is not covered or blocked. Blocking the vent port will compromise the integrity of the seals on the unit and will void the unit’s warranty.
Page 20: Gimbal Mounting The Dsm250
DSM250 User’s Manual 3. Remove the template from the mounting surface. 4. Insert the 2” studs into the back of the DSM250. Make sure the studs are fully inserted into the back of the DSM250 but don‟t over tighten the studs. Do not use threadlocking compounds containing methacrylate ester, such as Loctite Red (271), as they will cause stress cracking of the plastic enclosure.
Page 21: Connecting The Dsm250
® The Maretron DSM250 provides a connection to an NMEA 2000 interface through a connector that ® can be found on the back of the unit. The NMEA 2000 connector is a five pin male connector (see ® ® Figure 4). You connect the DSM250 to an NMEA 2000...

Page 27: Important Concepts
4 Important Concepts Favorite Screens The DSM250 can display many different types of information in many different configurations. It is capable of displaying up to four distinct windows on its screen at one time. Rather than making you select from among the many types of available information any time you want to change the displayed data, the DSM250 has the concept of “Favorite Screens”.

DSM250 User’s Manual 4.2.4 Anchor Watch The DSM250 provides a graphical display of the Anchor Alert (section 8.3.7.9) parameters. When the vessel is anchored, the position of vessel at the point of dropping the anchor is entered in to the Anchor Alert plus the maximum distance that the boat can drift from that position (normally a little more than the amount of Anchor Chain that you have let out).

Page 38: Alerts
DSM250 User’s Manual Alerts An alert is a signal to a user that there is either an alarm or warning condition requiring user intervention. ® Alerts are integrated in an NMEA2000 system. For each Alert, one device acts as a master, or Alert Source, and monitors a parameter against a preset threshold.
Page 39: Alert States
 Disabled – All alerts are disabled. This mode should be used when the vessel is in storage, dry-dock, or otherwise out of operation.  Moored – This mode is used when the vessel is secured to a structure that is permanently attached to the ground like a pier, wharf, dock, or mooring buoy.
Page 40: Available Alert Classes
DSM250 User’s Manual 4.3.6 Available Alert Classes The DSM250 has several classes of alerts, depending on the parameter for which an alert is being configured.  Low Alert – The alert will become active if the monitored value drops below the value in this alert for longer than the time specified in the Set Delay field.
Page 41: Operating Modes
5 Operating Modes The DSM250 has two main operating modes including normal viewing of information in the favorite screens mode (Section 5.1) and the menu mode (Section 5.2). Also, the control mode is a submode of the favorite screens mode, in which certain control and reset functions may be performed (Section 5.3).

Page 177 The last line in the menu enables you to program the lifetime of the variation data received by the SSC200. In Figure 172, you can see that the “Variation Time” has been programmed to 5.0 seconds. This means that if the compass has not received magnetic variation for five seconds, it will no longer transmit true heading data, as the variation data it has received is now expired.
Page 178: Installation Offset Calibration
The installation offset (i.e., misalignment of installed SSC200 with vessel‟s center line) may be calibrated using the Maretron DSM250 display. While executing “Installation Offset Calibration”, the vessel must stay still with no pitch and roll because SSC200 will also calibrate pitch and roll at this time.Once the compass is installed, point the vessel at a known heading, and then select the...

6.23.5 Magnetic Deviation Calibration The DSM250 is capable of performing magnetic deviation calibration on a Maretron SSC200 solid state compass. The Rate of Turn Offset Calibration (section 6.23.8) should be done before the Deviation Calibration. The first screen (Figure 177) gives instructions for performing the procedure.

Page 182: Rate Of Turn Zero Offset Calibration
6.23.8 Rate of Turn Zero Offset Calibration The DSM250 is capable of displaying rate of turn information from a Maretron SSC200 compass. Although the compass provides very accurate rate of turn information, it can drift off of zero even though the vessel is not turning. Fortunately, the SSC200 can learn the zero offset for different conditions found on the vessel.
Page 183 This causes the SSC200 to use variation data from either the NMEA 0183 ® interface or the NMEA 2000 interface. Figure 182 – Setting Variation Source to NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000 ® (factory default) You should need to alter this setting only if: ...

Page 185 WARNING: Magnetic variation changes as your location on the earth changes; therefore magnetic variation should be adjusted with changes in position. Neither the DSM250 nor the SSC200 will make these changes automatically; they are the responsibility of the user. Revision 1.4.18 Page 169...
