CU-M001 User manual

Colour code:

Speed Through Water (STW) is in light blue

Speed Over Ground (SOG) is in green/yellow

Water Current (WC) is in dark blue

If the speed value is not available it will show -.- (dashed line). 

SOG will be available only

 when the bottom is within range.(depth <150m)

If GPS and Rate of turn is connected from an external source, the speed will be shown with a 

symbol, when the depth >150m, bt this will n ot be sent out of the system as this system is not the 

source of the data.

Press this value (kn : NM) to 

change to other units

Information 1-5

Informations can be set to the following: Water temperature / Trip / Total / Alert Hi / Alert lo / Pitch / 

Roll / SOG from GPS / ROT from gyro / Heading from gyro / STW (DL1) Items that can be changed 

or reset, will do so by pressing and holding the information panel (Trip/ Alert)
