INTRODUCTION
The RD301 remote display is made for use with the EA400/
EA600 and the EN 250 navigation echo sounder. It may also be
used with other echo sounders, if they have NMEA0183 output.
The RD301 is a depth repeater with alarm setting. The operator
may select alarm depth in the meny.
Maximum depth readings are 9999 m and a resolution of 0.1 m.
Brightness is adjusted on the front panel. Brightness can,
optionally, also be adjusted from a remote controller.
OPERATION
1. To switch the unit on: Press any key.
To switch the unit off: At the same time, press both the Up
and the Down key.
2. To adjust brigthness: Press the Up/Down keys to find suitable
setting.
3. Toselectdepthalarm:PresstheSkeyonceandenteralarmsetting
mode. The display shows “SetA“. Set the wanted depth by
using the Up and Down keys. When wanted alarm depth is
set, the unit will go back to normal mode operation after 15
seconds, or press Sto the depth occur. When depth below
transducer become the same, or less, than the alarm depth,
the display will indicate “AL“ alternating with actual depth.
To set alarm off: Repeat operation number 3. and set alarm
depth to 0 m.
4. To select readings in feet, meters or fathoms: Press the Skey
twice and enter alarm setting mode. The display shows “SetU “.
Select requested reading by pressing the Up or Down key. When
readings is set, the unit will go back to normal mode operation
after 15 sec, or press Sto the depth occur.
5. To select transducer position (Only for EN 250): Press the S
key three times and enter the transducer selection mode. The dis-
play shows “SetP”. Press the Up/Down keys to select between
the four choices: Unknown, Forward, Backward or Auto.
- The Unknown selection decode any NMEA depth message and
shows the depth on the display. The position leds will then be
off.
- The other selections decode the NMEA message $PSKPDPT.
If Forward is selected, only the readings from the forward
transducer is shown, and if Backward is selected, only the
readings from the backward transducer is shown.
- The Auto selection switches between Forward, Backward
and Unknown depending on the NMEA messages available.
The led for positions will shift automatically and blink every
third second, indicating that the Auto selection is active. If
the transducer position is unknown, both leds will be on and
blinking.

PANEL MOUNTING
AMake a cut out in the Panel (5): 125 x 125 mm.
BRemove the mounting bracket (1).
CUnscrew the 4 screws in the frame (3) (one in each corner)
and remove the frame.
DPut the Monitor (4) in the cut out and mark the 4 center-
points for the drill in the Panel (1)(2). (The drilling holes
diam. depends on thickness and material in the Panel).
EUse appropriate bolts with diameter 2.9 mm. Length
depends on the Panel thickness.
FFinally put on the frame (3). Make sure that the screw
heads correspond with the cut outs in the frame.
Before fixing the monitor (4) in the cut out area in console
(1)(2), apply sufficient amount of water sealant compound
between the monitor (4) and console (1)(2). Before the
frame (3) is remounted, apply sufficient amount of water
sealant compound in the inner area of the frame and on the
edges of the monitor (4), to ensure that water can not pen-
etrate into the monitor (4). The front panel of the monitor
is waterproof.

Note about wiring
A wrong type of cable has been used in the production of the first
series of RD301 repeaters. This applies to repeaters with serial
no. 030031 through 030050.
Two of the wires in the cable have a different
colour coding from the original:
- NMEA IN/OUT Brown wire
(originally white)
- DIMKEY Violet wire
(originally grey)
Other cables as marked on the rear wall of the
repeater.

Generic RS-232 Serial line
This cable comprises a multi-purpose serial
line. It provides interface with any peripheral
unit. One end of the cable connects to the local
unit (DTE) with a 9-pin ‘D’ connector, while
the other connects to the peripheral (DCE) as
described in the peripheral unit’s documenta-
tion.
Note that this cable does not support all the sig-
nals in the standard RS-232 specification.
