7 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

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 informa- tion 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 install

10 DSM300 and DSM30 Installation Manual A 3m-long cable is included for connecting your sounder module to a C Series or 2 hsb PLUS (Pathfinder) Series display. Longer cables and connection cables for other types of systems must be purchased separately. 2 Note: C Series displays have 4-pin connectors while the older hsb PLUS Series displays have a 3-pin configuration. This requires that you use a 4-pin to 3-pin adapter (Raymarine 2 part number R69081) when connecting a sounder module to an

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 overheat

Chapter 1: DSM Installation 13 Note: For fiberglass with a gelcoat surface, you should overdrill the surface to prevent the gelcoat from chipping when driving in the screw. Before drilling the pilot hole, hand drill the marked location with an oversized bit and countersink to approximately 3/8" diame- ter. 4. Drive the supplied #8 screws into the pilot holes. Screw them in about half way. 5. Mount the module to the surface, slipping the screw heads through the four key holes. 6. Press the mo

14 DSM300 and DSM30 Installation Manual 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.

Chapter 1: DSM Installation 15 Transducer Connection A 30 ft (10 m) cable is supplied with the transducer. This cable has a connector plug (with an outer nut that you must attach) at one end for attaching to the “T/D” connector on the sounder module. Optional extension cables are available. 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 performan

hs SeaTalk Cable 18 DSM300 and DSM30 Installation Manual 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 sounder module 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 does not have an RF system, connect the drain wi
