2.1.1 DPU (Data Processing unit)
The data processing unit contains the computer for the ECDIS software and communication I/O
interface. The DPU can be installed on a table-top, bulkhead or in a console. For more information
consult section 6 “DM700 ECDIS data processing unit (DPU 700-01)”.
2.1.2 USB port
The USB port on the front (USB 1) is used for updating charts and software.
2.1.3 USB hardware key
The USB hardware key is a security device which contains encryption keys needed for accessing
charts. The USB hardware key is located under the service cover on the DM700 ECDIS DPU
2.1.4 Monitor
The monitor supplies power to the DM700 main unit and displays the image from the ECDIS
computer. The monitor is installed on a table top, or flush-mounted in the console.
2.1.5 Monitor HMI
The monitor HMI is used to power the DM700 ECDIS ON and OFF. It also includes a buzzer
which will sound if an alarm or warning condition occurs in the ECDIS. The monitor HMI is
mounted on the monitor hinge or if the monitor is panel-mounted, installed adjacent to the monitor.
Consult section 3“Monitor HMI”.
2.1.6 Keyboard –Hot keys
Some of the most important functions on the ECDIS are also located on the [F1] - [F10] function-
keys (see DBS11425 “User Manual for Danelec Marine ECDIS software”).
A sticker showing symbols for the hot key functionality is mounted on the keyboard.
.
E.g. sticker mounted on Cortron keyboard.

2.2 ECDIS cluster
A complete ECDIS installation will in most cases consist of a number of systems (a cluster). The
DM700 ECDIS can be connected directly together if the cluster contains only two systems. The
DM700 ECDIS’s must be connected using an Ethernet switch if the cluster contains more than two
systems.
Cluster containing 2 x DM700 ECDIS
Cluster with 3 x DM700 ECDIS
*) Must be an Ethernet switch which is included on the type approval certificate (e.g. “5 Port
Managed Gb Ethernet switch”, type 1303974).

3 Monitor HMI
The monitor HMI must be mounted either directly on the monitor’s hinge, or panel-mounted
adjacent to the flush-mounted monitor.
3.1 Alert buzzer
The ECDIS will generate an audible alarm following an error - e.g., if the signal from the GPS is
lost. The volume of the alarm signal may be adjusted in the ECDIS application. Go to the shortcut
menu and adjust the volume using the buzzer volume controls.
(see DBS11425 “User Manual for Danelec Marine ECDIS software”for further details).
3.2 ECDIS computer shutdown
There are 2 ways to set the ECDIS to standby:
Software standby
Hardware standby
To start the system again, follow the procedure in section 3.3 “ECDIS computer restart”
3.2.1 Software standby
The normal procedure for closing the ECDIS (i.e. setting the ECDIS to standby) is to open the
“Main Menu” in the bottom left corner

User manual for DM700 ECDIS hardware

MAN11804-10 Page 12/30
Click on “Standby”
and click on [Standby].
3.2.2 Hardware standby
Note: The procedure described in this section should only be used if the ECDIS software freezes or
stops responding to user input.
Press and hold the POWER button on the monitor HMI for 7 seconds in order to shut down the
ECDIS computer.
3.3 ECDIS computer restart
Press POWER button in the monitor HMI in order to restart the computer. This is applicable both
after a “hard” shutdown (see section 3.2 “ECDIS computer shutdown”) or if the ECDIS is in
standby after the software has been closed normally.

4 Monitor
4.1 Control panel on monitor
The brightness can be controlled from the ECDIS software
(Main MenuSettingsSystemDisplay or Main MenuShortcuts).
Note that the monitor is not calibrated unless is shown next to the brightness and contrast field.
The default (calibrated) level can be restored by pressing the
or by pressing the keyboard function key –F8.
4.1.1 North Invent WAVE monitor:
All monitor settings are controlled from the ECDIS Software.
4.1.2 Returning backlight to normal
If the backlight is turned off and/or the monitor mode is set to night, it can be difficult to see if the
monitor is on. Press F6 to switch between monitor modes, and use F8 to restore each monitor mode
to its calibrated settings.
4.2 Control of Monitor
The color generating capability of the monitor may deteriorate over time. How the quality of the
monitor is checked is described in “Appendix A –Color Differentiation Test”
4.3 Nominal viewing distance
The viewing distances for the supported monitors are:
North Invent Wave WA190-01 (19”): 70cm
North Invent Wave WA240-01 (24”): 100cm
North Invent Wave WA270-01 (27”): 100cm

5 Self-test
The presence of the keyboard, trackball, and USB hardware key is monitored by the DPU. A
caution will be generated if an error in one of these devices is detected.
5.1 Buzzer in monitor HMI
The buzzer in the monitor HMI may be checked by adjusting the buzzer volume up or down. The
buzzer will briefly sound at the current audio level if the buzzer volume if adjusted up or down.
5.2 Test of monitor
Check the colors and the contrast for the monitor (visually), and if in doubt consult section 4.2
“Control of Monitor”.

DPU Back panel
6.1 Power
The DM700 main unit must be powered from the DC output on the monitor. The monitor must be
connected to the ship’s main power source (110-230AC). The AC power must be backed up by the
vessel’s emergency power (automatic switch over). The cables must be as short as possible and
have a conductor area of 0.75mm2minimum.
The power consumption for the Monitor and DM700 main unit is 80W.

7.1 Menu
You will be able to do the following:
Info: Double click on the menu to select the function.
Monitor reconfiguration.
If the monitor needs to be replaced with a different type, this menu can be used to change
the monitor type of the system.
USB hardware key management.
Use this menu if you need to replace the USB hardware key in the system. You can also use
this function to change the role of the hardware key (primary/secondary/independent). See
section 7.3”USB hardware keys” for further details.
Mouse/Trackball configuration.
You can adjust the speed of the mouse/track in the menu. This is relevant if you have
replaced the keyboard (with integrated trackball) with a keyboard of a different type.
Manually set time/date.
Use this menu to set the BIOS time of the system manually.
Software update.
This menu is used for updating the software of the system. Only software updated made and
signed by Danelec Marine A/S can be installed. Software update requires the ECDIS to be
restarted. See section 7.4 “Install software update” for further details.
Reboot.
DM700 ECDIS will restart.
Dump-for-support.
A dump-for-support file is generated, and saved to a removable device.

7.2 Management of USB hardware Keys
It may be necessary to reset or change roles of a USB hardware key if one of the existing hardware
keys is replaced.
In most cases this will be handled automatically by the system, but in cases where a USB hardware
key has been used as primary key in another ECDIS cluster, the hardware key needs to be changed.
To change a primary key into a secondary key in the current cluster, it must first be made
independent. After this it will automatically be made a secondary key in the cluster.
By opening the USB hardware key management panel, you can inspect all the hardware keys in the
cluster. You can only modify the role of the local hardware key.
Make primary key
Use this button to make the local USB hardware key the primary hardware key in the
cluster. There may only be one primary hardware key in a cluster, so it is not possible to
make a hardware key primary if another primary key already exists.
Make independent key
Use this button to change a USB hardware key back to an independent key. This can be used
if a hardware key has been used as a primary key in another ECDIS cluster.
