Purpose
Raymarine DSM300 Digital So under Modules provide echo sounder data that ca n
be displayed on Raymarine E Series, C Series, and hsb
display units.
DSM300 Digital Sounder Modules are intended for recreational depth finding and
fishfinding purposes. Echo sounder systems require an appropriate Raymarine
transducer unit and inter-connecting cable.
This manual contains very important information for installing your DSM300 and
transducer. To obtain the best results in operation and performance, please read
this handbook thoroug hly. Raymarine’s Technical Services representatives or your
local dealer will be available to answer any questions you may have.
SAFETY NOTICE
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
The DSM300 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.

Chapter 1: DSM300 Installation
1.1 Introduction
This chapter provides details for mounting the DSM300 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. Transducer
information is provided in Chapter 2.
Planning the Installation
Before you install your system, plan the installation, considering:
• Correct transducer for your application, as described in Section 2.1
• Location of the sounder module, as described in Section 1.3
• Cable Runs, as described in Section 1.5
EMC Installation Guidelines
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry
standards for use in the recreational marine environment.
7
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 descri be the conditions for optimum EMC performa nce,
b ut it i s r ec o gn iz e d t ha t it ma y n ot b e p os si bl e t o m ee t a ll o f t he s e c on di ti o ns in a ll
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).
8 DSM300 Installation Manual
• 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.
• 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
Figure 1-1: Typical Suppression Ferrites
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.
Chapter 1: DSM300 Installation 9
1.2 Unpacking and Inspecting the Components
Unpack your system carefully, to prevent damage to the equipment. Save the
carton and packing, in case you need to return the unit for service.

1.3 Selecting Sounder Module Mounting Location
The DSM300 is waterproof to IPX-7 is and is designed to be mounted either above
or below deck.
Mount the DSM300 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 DSM300:
• 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 con-
nections to the panel connectors, avoiding tight bends in the cable.
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: Moun t the unit at least 3 ft (1 m) away from a magn etic
compass.
•
Cable runs: The unit must be located near a DC power source. The power
cable supplied is 10 ft (3 m).
•
Environment: Good ventilation is required to prevent the unit from over-
heating.
CAUTION: Do Not Remove the Transducer Cable
Removing the transducer cable from the DSM300 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.
Chapter 1: DSM300 Installation 11
1.4 Mounting the Sounder Module
The DSM300 can be mounted either above or below deck using the supplied
hardware. To allow for ease of cable connection, mount the sounder module so

1.5 Cable Runs
Consider the following before installing the system cables:
• You will need to attach power, transducer, and display cables.
• All cables should be adequately secured, protected from physical damage,
and protected from exposure to heat.
• Avoid running cables through bilges or doorways, or close to moving or hot
objects.
• Avoid sharp bends.
• Use a watertight feed-through wherever a cable passes through an exposed
bulkhead or deckhead.
• Secure cables in place using tie-wraps or lacing twine. Coil any extra cable
and tie it out of the way.
You will need to run the following cables:
•
Power cable, supplied with the unit. This 10 ft (3 m) cable has a connector
plug at one end for connecting to the sounder module, and 3 wires at the other
end for connecting the power supply. The power cable may be extended by up
to 60 ft (20 m) using a wire gauge of AWG 12 or greater. The DSM300 is
intended for use on boat’s DC power systems rated from 10.7 V to 32 V.
•
Display cable, used to connect the DSM300 to a display unit. A 3m-long
cable is included for connecting to a C Series display. Connection cables for E
Series or hsb
be purchased separately. See Table 1-1 “Cable Options“ on page 9 for a list of
available display cables.
•
Trans ducer c able, supplied with the transducer. This 30 ft (10 m) cable has
a connector plug (with an outer nut that you must attach) at one end for the
sounder module or extension cable. Optional extension cables are listed in
Table 2-1 “Accessories“ on page 25.

PLUS (Pathfinder) Series displays, or longer C Series cables, must
CAUTION: Do Not Cut or Splice the Transducer Cable
• There is high voltage on the transducer cable. Splicing could
create a safety hazard.
• Cutting the transducer cable severely reduces sonar
performance. If the cable is cut, it must be replaced—it cannot
be repaired.
• Cutting the transducer cable will void the warranty and
invalidate the European CE mark.

The following sections detail the connectors used when installing the DSM300.
DC Power Connection
The DSM300 is intended for use on boat’s DC power systems rated from 10.7 V to
32 V.
The power connection to the unit should be made at either the output of the
battery isolator switch or at a DC power distribution panel. Power should be fed
directly to the DSM300 via its own dedicated cable system and protected by a
thermal circuit breaker or fuse on the red (positive) wire that is installed close to
the power connection.
DC power is connected at the 3-pin POWER connector on the unit’s connector
panel. The connector (viewed from the outside) and pin functions are shown in
the following diagram and table.

Figure 1-6: Power Connector
Pin No. Function Color
1 Battery positive (12/24/32 V systems) Red
2 Battery negative Black
3 Shield (drain wire) No insulation
The RED wire must be connected to the feed from the positive (+) battery terminal
and the BLACK wire to the feed from the negative (–) battery terminal. The shield
wire (drain) should be connected to the boat’s RF ground. See “Ground
Connection” on page 17.
Install a quick blow 8 amp fuse on the red (positive) wire.
CAUTION:
If the power connections are accidentally reversed the system
will not work. Use a multimeter to ensure that the input power
leads are connected for correct polarity.
There is no power switch on the DSM300. The unit turns on when the power cord
is attached to boat’s power and plugged into the POWER connector on the
connector panel.
Note:
You should locate the DSM300 so that the power cord can be easily removed, if
necessary. If the sounder is placed in a difficult-to-reach location, Raymarine strongly
suggests installing an on/off switch on the DSM300 power cord at a point where it is easily
accessible.
Chapter 1: DSM300 Installation 17
Transducer Connection
A 30 ft (10m) cable is supplied with the transducer. For details see “Tra ns du ce r
Cable” on page 26. The connector pins are shown in the following diagram,
together with the connections and wire colors; this is information is provided as
an aid to fault diagnosis.

Ground Connection
It is important that an effective RF ground is connected to the system. A single
ground point should be used for all equipment. You can ground the DSM300 by
connecting the drain wire (shield) of the Power Input cable to the boat’s RF
ground. If you need to extend the wire, the extension wire should be an 8 mm
braid or AWG 10 multi-stranded cable.
If your boat has a dedicated ground strap available, you can alternatively attach it
to the ground wing nu t on the rear panel of the module. If your boat do es not have
an RF system, connect the drain wire to the negative battery terminal.
The DC system should be either:
• Negative grounded, with the negative battery terminal connected to the
boat’s ground.
• Floating, with neither battery terminal connected to the boat’s ground.
