Page 54 of 64

EML224 and DL1 sensors are “smart sensors” communicating digitally.

They need 24V power supply and will send up a preprogrammed NMEA sentence with speed and temp info.

The required NMEA sentence is depending on what kind of Display Unit receiving.

An EML224 Graphic Display requires uncalibrated speed in a format called ALMA format. “Fig. 2.7. 

Screen Com, Menu 2, sensor” on page 17

The sensor is default set up in factory to ALMA format.

A format command is transmitted from EML224 Graphic display at boot up until required sensor format is 

received.

2 way communication with sensor requires sw ver 1.27.23 and triangular RS422 PCB rev 14..
