Important Information

Raymarine DSM300 and DSM30 Digital Sounder Modules provide echo sounder data that can be displayed on Raymarine E Series, C Series, and hsb2 PLUS (Pathfinder) Series display units.

This manual contains important information for installing and maintaining your Digital Sounder Module. Raymarine’s Technical Services representatives or your local dealer will be available to answer any questions you may have.

Instructions on how to operate the fishfinder application can be found in the handbook for your particular display system.

Intended Use

DSM300 and DSM30 Digital Sounder Modules are intended for depth finding and fishfinding purposes on recreational (non-IMO/SOLAS class) boats. Echo sounders require an appropriate Raymarine transducer and interconnecting cable.

Safety Notices

This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with the instructions contained in this manual. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or navigational inaccuracies. In particular:

CAUTION: High Voltage

Digital Sounder Modules contains high voltages. Adjustments require specialized service procedures and tools only available to qualified service technicians – there are no user serviceable parts or adjustments. The operator should never remove the cover or attempt to service the equipment.

CAUTION: Transducer Cable

Removing the transducer cable from the rear of the DSM300 or DSM30 while the sounder module is powered on can cause sparks. Only remove the transducer cable after power has been removed from the DSM. As with any electronic device, be sure the sounder module is mounted where it is well ventilated and free from gasoline fumes.

If the transducer cable is accidentally removed while the DSM is powered on, remove power from the sounder module, replace the transducer cable, and then return power to the module. As a safety feature, the sounder module only recognizes that the transducer is connected at power-up.

Chapter 1: DSM Installation

1.1 Introduction

This chapter provides details for mounting the DSM300 and DSM30 and connecting to the display.

For the system to display depth, water temperature and speed, you must install the transducer type(s) capable of transmitting the appropriate data.

Planning the Installation

Before you install your system, plan the installation, considering:

•Location of the sounder module, as described in Section 1.3

•Cable Runs, as described in Section 1.5

•Correct transducer for your application

EMC Installation Guidelines

All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the recreational marine environment.

Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect the operation of the product.

The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance, but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these conditions in all situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within the constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical equipment.

For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever possible:

•Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:

•At least 5 ft (1.5 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals, e.g., VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft (2 m).

•More than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element.

8	DSM300 and DSM30 Installation Manual

•The equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V and starter motor transients can cause the equipment to reset.

This will not damage the equipment, but may cause the loss of some information and may change the operating mode.

•Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and must be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual.

•If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during installation it must be reassembled in the same position.

Suppression Ferrites

The following illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites used with Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine.

D3548-3

Connections to Other Equipment

If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite must always be attached to the cable that is closest to the Raymarine unit.

10	DSM300 and DSM30 Installation Manual

A 3m-long cable is included for connecting your sounder module to a C Series or hsb2 PLUS (Pathfinder) Series display. Longer cables and connection cables for other types of systems must be purchased separately.

Note: C Series displays have 4-pin connectors while the older hsb2 PLUS Series displays have a 3-pin configuration. This requires that you use a 4-pin to 3-pin adapter (Raymarine part number R69081) when connecting a sounder module to an hsb2 PLUS Series display. This adapter is included with the DSM300 but must be ordered separately with a DSM30.

1.3 Selecting Sounder Module Mounting Location

DSM300 and DSM30 sounder modules are waterproof to IPX-7 is and is designed to be mounted either above or below deck.

Mount the DSM where it is:

•protected from physical damage and excessive vibration

•protected from prolonged exposure to rain, salt spray and direct sunlight

•well ventilated

•as close to the transducer as possible

Do not locate the DSM:

•in the engine compartment

•on the main console

When planning the installation, the following should be considered to ensure reliable and trouble free operation:

•Access: There must be sufficient space below the unit to enable cable connections to the panel connectors, avoiding tight bends in the cable.

Chapter 1: DSM Installation

11

•Interference: The selected location should be far enough away from devices that may cause interference, such as motors, generators, and radio transmitter/receivers. (See the EMC guidelines earlier in this chapter.)

•Magnetic compass: Mount the unit at least 3 ft (1 m) away from a magnetic compass.

•Cable runs: The unit must be located near a DC power source. The power cable supplied is 10 ft (3 m).

•Environment: Provide good ventilation to prevent overheating.

CAUTION: Do Not Remove the Transducer Cable

Removing the transducer cable from the sounder module while power is turned on can cause sparks. As with any electronic device, be sure the sounder module is mounted where it is well ventilated and free from gasoline fumes.

1.4 Mounting the Sounder Module

The DSM can be mounted either above or below deck using the supplied hardware. To allow for ease of cable connection, mount the sounder module so that the cables hang below the unit.
