DS41 Owner’s Manual
16
The DS41 can be configured to operate as a
NMEA repeater. In this mode it will display depth
information from any depth sounder outputing
DPT or DBT NMEA depth data (no other NMEA
depth sentences are supported).
Notes:
1) The only information displayed from
the DPT and DBT sentence is depth
below the transducer. The user must
enter keel offset values and alarm
settings as required.
2) When a slave has no depth
information, the display will alternate
between -- and -SL. This will occur if
the master unit has no depth reading
or if the data link from the master is
inadvertently broken.

shown in the following diagram.
2. Apply power to the instrument and
configure it for slave operation as
described in the Instrument Setup
section (Dual Station Operation).
