INTRODUCTION
the lr speed log repeater
______________________________________________________________
The SKIPPER Speed Log Repeater allow important speed values from log
systems to be displayed anywhere on the vessel in the format the user wants.
The Compact is unique in its simple, yet exible way to display vital data in
almost all conditions, from no light to bright sunlight. In addition, it is classed to
IP56 allowing it to be mounted outside and used in any conditions. The unit is
a standard 144 mm standard format allowing it to be mounted in tight spaces
or overhead.

CHAPTER 1
physiCal installation
___________________________________________________________________________
The Speed log repeater CD401LR is a stand alone unit and does not require
additional circuitry. It should be supplied by a 24 V (18 V-36 V) 25 W DC supply
and the cabling of the system is as per diagram below. The unit is supplied with
2 m of cable (12 core), this can be extended without problem. Only the wires
in use need extending.

THE DIMMING INPUTS
Pulses of at least 60ms on the dimming up and dimming down cables will cause
the dimming to change by one level. The inputs are optocoupled and therefore
require an external voltage to operate, (4 Volt -30 Volt (Typically 12/24 Volt)).

CHAPTER 2
setting up the CompaCt display
______________________________________________________________
PRINCIPLES
The Compact Display is a exible dot matrix LED display designed to display
navigation data. The Speed log repeater can be user programmed to show
most kinds of numerical data, from NMEA messages or self generated. It can
also be used as a primary sensor display for speed logs showing the speed
values produced by the sensor, or as a simple repeater. The Compact with its
JB60CD box meets all the requirements of a primary device both functionally
and electrically. On its own it meets the requirements as a repeater.
The Compact has three user denable alphanumeric displays, each allowing up
to 4 parameters to be displayed. When the device is used as a primary device
some of these screens will be xed.
RUN SCREENS
The unit starts up in runtime mode. By pressing menu, the preset user screens
can be selected. Some of the menu screens (i.e alarms) are also available in
the runtime mode.
The unit can be dimmed in any of the runtime screens using the UP (↑) and
DOWN (↓) buttons. If Trip/Total are selected as a displayed parameter, they can
be toggled using the SET button.
Operation and Installation CD401LR
Edition: 2013-11-05 Rev: 1.13Page 14 of 28
MENU SCREENS
To change the setup of the Speead log repeater, the user must simultaneously
press MENU and SET This will give access to a menu system allowing the user
to scroll up and down the sub-menus and functions using UP (↑) and DOWN
(↓), and SET to select. To move back up a menu, the MENU button must be
pressed. The middle underlined line is the selected line. The other lines are
dimmed.
The menu structure is shown in the diagram. The menus are product dependant,
only the relevant menus are accessible. However, some menus are available
in all setups.
ACTIVATING THE RUNTIME DISPLAYS
The system has three user preset screens, Screen 1 may be locked in some
congurations. In addition the user can make the most common setup screens
available. The Screens menu allows the user to choose which runtime screens
to include. Using the SET button the user can enable, disable each individual
screen. UP (↑) and DOWN (↓) will scroll to the available screens.
Operation and Installation CD401LR
Edition: 2013-11-05 Rev: 1.13 Page 15 of 28
CONFIGURING OF DATA SCREENS
The 3 user programmable screens can be set up using
the Cong (CONFG) menu. This submenu allows the
user to select one of the three displays, and on entering
the cong screen, the user can change the data type
to be displayed in each of the 4 screen positions. Up
and down will change the data type, SET will move to
the next screen position. If text (TXT) is selected on
one of the lines, the display will show 4 lines of data
in 5 point font, otherwise 3 lines of 7 point font will be
used.
Placing TXT in the bottom 4th line or 3rd and 4th line will cause the data to spread
out showing fewer data points. The system will not allow you to mix speed data
from different sources on the same screen. Having 2 TXT lines after each other
will also rearrange the positioning.
Note: The Speed log repeater have one screen which indicates just the primary
data. This screen is xed and cannot be adjusted.
The non-active parameters will continue showing the dimmed present data,
when not selected.
Example:
TXT STW TXT STW TXT STW
STWL = 10,1 & STW L = 10,1 & STW L = 10,1
TXT STW T 0,2 STW T 0,2
TXT TXT Trip TL90683

ACCEPTED INPUTS
The system will allow many NMEA formats to be displayed. Version 1.02 of the
software allows the following:
Speed long, trans, fore/aft water/bottom VMVBW
Temperature (water) VMMTW,
Trip/Total VMVLW,
The system will automatically update recognized formats.
CHANGING OF THE BAUD RATE
The NMEA (IEC61162-1) standard is 4800 baud. Some vessels run with higher
baud rates. 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 and 115200 baud rates can be
selected in the baud screen of the setup menu. It is recommended that the
sensor is kept to 4800 as this speed is robust over longer cables. The baud
rates become active as you leave the baud page.
DEMO MODE
A demo mode is available, and can be activated in the diagnostics menu. Two
modes are available.
• Mode 1 is a dynamic demo mode taking the present value as the start
point and slowly varying all the available values.
• Mode 2 is a static mode taking the present values and keeping them
active.
When the demo mode is active, alarms will be disabled, and the screen will
indicate the demo state with a solid red line at the top and bottom of the screen.
The user can turn off the demo mode from the demo screen, or by recycling the
power. The demo mode will turn off automatically after 10 hours.

maintenanCe
______________________________________________________________
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
No maintenance is required. The screen can be cleaned with standard window
cleaning solutions.
CHECKING YOUR VERSION
If the info screen is activated on the run screens, the System type and rmware
version can be read from there. Otherwise the same screen can be obtained in
the diagnostics menu. The System type will be one of the following:
CDE1 Compact display EML 1 axis
CDE2 Compact display EML 2 axis
CDLR Compact display Log Repeater
CDMR Compact display Multi Repeater
The system will be locked to one of these setups, but can be changed to one
of the other systems (with an additional cost) using a code (see appendix 4).
FIRMWARE UPGRADE
The system is undergoing continuously improvements, and periodically new
rmware will be released. A chip can be supplied (with an additional cost) with
the new software. This is changed by removing the backplate of the Speed
log repeater unit.

other options with the CompaCt display
______________________________________________________________
COMPACT OPTIONS
The Compact display unit can be used in the following modes:
Speed repeater CD401LR
Multi repeater CD401MR
Single axis EML CD401E1 with JB60CD connection box
Dual axis EML CD401E2 with JB60CD connection box
In these modes the following options are available
Speed repeater: A simple repeater for speed in 1 or 2 axis and trip.
Limited functionality
Multi repeater: A comprehensive reopeater for many of the normal
NMEA messages, also functions for user dened
messages.
EML 224 Single
axis speed repeater.
As above but with just longitudinal value.
EML 224 Dual axis
speed repeater.
As above
The software for all these systems is stored in the system and the system
conguration can be changed using a security code. This code can be
obtained from www.skipper.no. By sending an order to SKIPPER together
with the systems serial number. (Obtained by opening the code screen in
diagnostics). On entering the supplied code number, the system options will
be set. Please note that the cabling is different for repeaters and speed logs
and so these are not compatible without replacing the back plate.
CHANGING THE SYSTEM/ ADDING OPTIONS
The Compact display unit is being developed as a low cost display alternative
to full graphics displays already available. Most extra features are available for
the Compact and these can be activated using the CODE page in the setup
menu. On this menu, the systems unique ID is displayed, and the new options
can be purchased from the SKIPPER retailer to add extra functions. You will
receive a code to be entered in the codes screen.
NOTE: It is important to note that pay option codes are unique for each
individual unit and will not work on other units.
