DS35 User Manual 3
1 General Information
Note: Please familiarize yourself with the entire manual and transducer installation guide before
attempting installation.
1.1 Introduction
The DS35 is a high-quality digital depth sounder.
Features include:
• Depth readings from 3 to 200 feet with the
added capability of displaying depth in meters
or fathoms.
• Adjustable depth alarms to alert the user
visually and audibly when the water depth is
less than the shallow and greater than the
deep alarm settings.
• The alarm settings are stored in memory and
are preserved when power is off.
• Display damping is selectable for frequent
readings at critical shallow depths and for
smoother readings at greater depths.
• Trend arrows on the display indicate
increasing or decreasing depth.
• The DS35 will withstand direct water spray on
its front panel without damage.
Note: Actual depth capabilities depend on
transducer used, transducer installation,
bottom conditions and water conditions.
1.2 Front Panel
The display is a back-lit 3½ digit liquid crystal display
(LCD) with an alarm icon (bell), trend arrows, and
alpha flags. It also has a three-button keypad. The
keypad uses tactile and audible feedback to indicate
when a key is pressed. All functions are controlled
entirely by these three keys.
Note: an ON/OFF switch must be installed to
control the power to the instrument.
1.3 Rear Panel
The rear panel contains a cable terminated with an
RCA phono receptacle for connection to the
transducer and a 3.5ft. 12 VDC power cable with
insulated stripped and tinned red and black wires.
