Introduction
The MaxDS110 multifunction depth/speed instrument will
simultaneously display three sets of data on three digital displays.
Depth, boat speed, sea water temperature, trip and total logs, race
timers, time-of-day, elapsed trip time and battery voltage can be
displayed in a variety of different formats. High and Low alarms can
be set for Depth (Deep and Shallow), boat speed, water temperature
and battery voltage. Eight (8) different Time-Of-Day alarms can be
set to remind you of important radio schedules, weather FAXes, etc.
The two race timers can be independently set to any value from 1 to
60 minutes.
A keel offset can be programmed to provide the depth of the water
under the keel. Variable display damping (filtering) can be selected
for both depth and boat speed. You can switch between sixteen
different predefined display configurations with the front panel
keys. Changes are automatically saved to a nonvolatile memory.
You can select from five backlight levels (including OFF) and the
backlights can be externally activated. The MaxDS110 works on
both 12 and 24 VDC and outputs NMEA 0183 data sentences for
depth, boat speed, sea water temperature and battery voltage.
A variety of different optional depth and speed/temperature
transducers are available in plastic and bronze that mount on the
transom or through the hull.

Turning Alarms ON/OFF
To “arm” the alarms, press and hold the key 1/2 second. The Bell symbol
will be displayed when the alarms are “armed”. To disable the alarms press and
hold the key for 1/2 second. Any press between 1/2 and 2 seconds will
work. A press of less than 1/2 second or longer than 2 seconds will be ignored.
Setting High and LowAlarm Values
To View and/or Set the High Alarm value for any of the three current displays,
press and hold the key for ten seconds (until you hear a long beep). To
View and/or Set the Low Alarm value for any of the displays, press and hold the
key for ten seconds. The alarm value, display identifier (1, 2 or 3) and the
word “HiAL” or “LoAL” will be displayed as shown in Figure 20. Quick press
the key to select the desired display (1, 2, or 3). Press and hold the  or 
keys to change the alarm value. Press the  key for 1 second (until the long
beep) to accept the new alarm value, save it to memory and exit the Alarm
Editor mode.
To prevent confusion, the High and Low alarm values are unique for each Data
Source (Depth, Speed or Temperature, etc.). For example, if you change the
high alarm value for Depth in one display configuration, then the high alarm value
for Depth will automatically change for each display configuration where Depth
is displayed.

timers for them to start/run/stop - they will work in the background. The race
timers will start counting down from their assigned values and beep as each
minute is counted down. When the race timers reach 10 seconds each second
will be sounded off with a short beep. When the race timers reach zero you will
hear a long beep.
In order to prevent confusion, only one race timer can be running. Starting Race
Timer 2 will stop Race Timer1 and vice-versa. Once a race timer has been
started it can also be stopped the same way. Restarting the race timers will
cause them to reset and start from their original values; not from where they were
stopped.

Calibrating a Data Source
Calibrating the displayed data is possible for boat speed, sea water temperature,
battery voltage and the clock. Press and hold the and


 keys for ten sec-
onds to enter the Calibration Editor (until you hear a long beep). The data
source value, display identifier (1, 2 or 3) and the word “CAL” will be displayed
as shown in Figure 24. Quick press the key to select the desired display (1,
2 or 3). Press and hold the  or  keys to change the calibration. Press the
 key for 1 second (until the long beep) to accept the new value, save it to
memory and leave the Calibration Editor mode.
When calibrating the Time-Of-Day clock a calibration value between 0 and 100
(nominal value is 50 ) will be shown on Display #1 and the time of day shown on
Display #3. Increase the Clock Calibration value to speed up the clock, de-
crease the Clock Calibration value to slow down the clock. Increasing the
Clock Calibration value by one will increase the clock speed by 1 second per
day. Decreasing the Clock Calibration value by one will decrease the clock
speed by 1 second per day.
