Raytheon Marine Unveils

New Doppler Speed Log —Literature Available

Raytheon Marine Company of

Manchester, N.H., has just intro- duced the DSL-150 doppler speed log for ships, workboats, and fishing vessels. This highly accurate speed log exceeds all International Mari- time Organization (IMO) standards for speed-measuring devices that are now required on new ships of 500 grt and over and ships fitted with automatic radar plotting aids (ARPA). The DSL-150 interfaces with radar, ARPA, satellite naviga- tors, and other equipment, and of- fers a wide range of optional remote speed and distance-run displays.

This new model is a three-part unit with transducer, digital dis- play, and main electronics cabinet.

The display is a three-digit red LED readout showing speed measure- ments from zero to 30 knots in l/w- knot increments. Fore and aft indi- cators are shown in red and green.

Distance run is displayed using a six-digit counter with manual reset control on the front panel.
