Introduction
The Actisense Depth, Speed and Temperature module (DST-2) was developed to
breathe new digital life into old and new analogue (standard, passive, no
electronics) transducers. By adding an advanced digital signal processing
(DST) module to standard analogue transducers, they can interface directly
with any instrument with an NMEA 0183 digital data input.
The NMEA 0183 marine standard is a purely digital data transmission scheme,
using binary format ‘1’s and ‘0’s, to communicate a digital representation of
the required information (depth, speed etc.) to a connected instrument.
A depth sounder transducer is a sensor that must be interfaced to a depth
sounder circuit, capable of both producing the high voltages to drive the
depth transducer, yet have very sensitive circuitry to receive the faint
echoes of the sound reflected from the sea-bed. Such a depth sounder circuit
also needs a powerful software algorithm to track the sea-bed, and reject
false signals that occur throughout the ocean. For example, an unsophisticated
depth sounder device can lock on to a false sea-bed due to reflections from
nearby targets, other depth sounder devices working on the same frequency,
double depths and even algae formations.
Actisense has designed and improved their current depth sounder circuitry
and software over a development period spanning 15 years. The algorithms have
now been proven in tens of thousands of products throughout the world that
Actisense has either manufactured itself, or has played an important design
consultancy role in.
To that, Actisense has added speed and temperature transducer interfaces
to the system. This creates a feature rich product that benefits the
prospective user.
The resulting module can measure the four quantities of depth, speed, log
(distance) and temperature in one device and so save the cost of the extra
electronic devices. The NMEA 0183 port requirements of the receiving
instrument are also reduced from three to just one.
Full information on the complete Actisense product range can be found on the Actisense website.
General features
Depth transducer interface
Connects to a standard piezoelectric depth transducer crystal element using a
three-wire interface. Generates the high transmit voltages, and receives the
weak echo returns from the sea-bed. Using an advanced sea-bed tracking
algorithm, the depth value is determined and output as NMEA 0183 depth
sentences DBT and DPT.
Speed transducer interface
Connects to a standard ‘paddle-wheel’ hall-effect speed transducer using a
three-wire interface. Generates the required power supply, and receives the
pulse signal from the paddle-wheel. Once a speed transducer has been detected
(after sensing a minimum of three log pulses), statistical analysis is used to
determine both speed and distance values, and output them as NMEA 0183 speed
sentence VHW and distance travelled sentence VLW. Data output will then
continue, regardless of the transducer output until a power reset occurs.
Temperature transducer interface
Connects to a standard thermistor transducer using a twowire interface. Once a
temperature transducer has been detected (after sensing a resistance at power-
up), a very high resolution algorithm is used to determine the temperature
value and output it as NMEA 0183 temperature sentence MTW.
Technical features
High-speed microcontroller capable of 10 million instructions per second. More than enough power to perform all the processing required to produce the accurate and very fast tracking depth output of the system, in addition to the speed, distance and temperature calculations.
Flash ROM technology that supports automatic programming for quick and easy updates, 10,000+ erase cycles and a 10-year Data Retention provides carefree user configuration.
Sounding transducer circuitry capable of interfacing to a wide selection of transducers, including Airmar (www. airmar.com). Refer to the Compatible transducer list section for further details.
NMEA 0183 full-differential output driver. This can drive up to 4 fully compliant NMEA 0183 device loads, with a 10mA (maximum) drive capability. The full-differential output ensures better quality communications and lower noise emissions on unshielded twisted pair cabling.
This connection also allows the unit to be updated via the free flash upgrade software available on the Actisense website if the DST-2 software requires an update.
Wide battery input voltage range to offer maximum compatibility, the NMEA 0183 DST-2 can operate from a battery supply anywhere between 10 and 28 volts.
Low Power Consumption – typically 65mA at 12 volts.
Very tough Polycarbonate case is certified to IP66 (classified as
“totally protected against dust and protection against low pressure jets of
water from all directions”).
Being Polycarbonate, it is also incredibly strong, offering a wide temperature
range and superior protection to the electronics inside. The IP66 rating of
the case is only limited by the sealing gasket strip, which can be enhanced by
applying a suitable non-acid based marine sealant to the gasket after wiring
and testing. This will allow use of the unit in areas where salt spray could
enter, accidental immersion may occur, or in environments where maximum long-
term reliability is paramount.
Robust Nylon grommets are certified to IP68 (classified as immersible for
long periods without water ingress). Note that to achieve this level of water
integrity all grommets must be occupied by round-section cables.
Large range of possible cable diameters of between 4.5mm and 10mm, single
or multi-pair wire types can be easily accepted.
Software updates
The DST-2’s built-in firmware is held in “flash” memory, allowing quick and
easy upgrades using a simple Microsoft Windows (95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP) user
interface program (ActiPatch) running on a connected PC.
It is our policy to provide these updates free on our website,
www.actisense.com, so that your DST module can
become more sophisticated with time, and should there be any bugs reported in
the software, they can be promptly fixed without the unit coming out of
commission.
This upgrade can be performed with the unit completely in-situ, via a PC
connected to the NMEA 0183 port with the Actisense RS485-to-RS232 converter
cable.
Connecting devices together
The basics
NMEA data is transmitted from an information source such as GPS, depth
sounder, gyro compass etc. These data sending devices are called “Talkers”.
Equipment receiving this information such as a chartplotter, radar or NMEA
display is called a “Listener”.
Unfortunately, only one Talker can be connected on to a single NMEA 0183
system at any one time. Two or more Talkers are simply not possible because
they are not synchronised to each other, and will attempt to ‘talk’ at the
same time (over each other), resulting in corruption of the NMEA data, and
potentially in disaster if valuable data such as navigation information is
lost or corrupted so that it is incorrect and/or misleading.
Actisense produces a full range of products to solve all NMEA interfacing
requirements.
Please visit the Actisense website for full details on these and other
Actisense interfacing, Depth sounding and Sonar products.
The NMEA signals
The NMEA 0183 system v2.0 and later uses a ”differential” signalling scheme,
whereby two wires are used to transmit the NMEA data. These connections will
be labelled as either NMEA “A” and “B“ or NMEA “+” and “-“
respectively, depending on the instrument and manufacturer.
When connecting between different manufacturers, there can be some confusion,
but it is simple and easy to remember: NMEA “A” connects to NMEA “+”
and NMEA “B“ connects to NMEA “-“.
The different NMEA standards
The NMEA 0183 specification has slowly evolved over the years, so connecting
one device to another is not always a straight forward matter. The earlier
versions of NMEA 0183 (before v2.0, as detailed above), used slightly
different connection methods and signal levels: the instruments had just one
“NMEA” data line (‘Tx’ or ‘Out’), and used the ground as the other line –
similar to the way a computer serial port works. This connection method is
referred to as “single ended” instead of the “differential” method used by
NMEA 0183 v2.0 devices.
The data format is largely the same between both systems, with v2.0 adding
some extra sentence strings, and removing older (redundant) sentence strings
from the specification. The situation is further complicated, as many
manufacturers still use the old (“single ended”) method of connection because
it is cheaper to implement.
So how can an older type NMEA device be connected to a newer type device?
Care is needed – it is possible to damage or overload the output of a
newer differential device if it is incorrectly connected to an older device.
This is because the older devices used ground as the return, whereas the newer
devices actually drive the NMEA “-/B” line between 5v and 0v. Thus, connecting
this output to ground will result in high currents being drawn by the driver
instrument, resulting in potential overheating and damage to the driver
circuits.
To connect a new type differential device to an old type single-ended system,
connect the NMEA “+/A” output from the differential driver to the single-ended
NMEA “Rx” or “In” input of the device. Leave the NMEA “-/B” output floating.
Connect the ground line of the differential output device to the ground of the
single-ended device. This provides the required data signal return current
path.
To connect an old type single-ended device to a new type differential device,
connect the NMEA ”Tx” or “Out” output from the single-ended driver to the
differential NMEA “+/A” input of the device. Connect the ground line of the
single-ended output device to the NMEA “-/B” input of the differential device.
This provides the data signal return current path. If the NMEA “-/B” input is
left floating, then data corruption / errors may occur.
Please refer to the Other Connections section for example of these connection
methods.
Connections
Figure 1 – All external connections
The DST module (DST-2) has screw-terminal “Phoenix” type external connections for: –
-
Depth transducer input/outputs.
The three-wire connection type is flexible enough to interface to most standard piezoelectric crystal depth transducers. -
Speed transducer input/output.
The standard three-wire connection type should easily interface to most standard hall-effect paddlewheel speed transducers. -
Temperature transducer inputs.
The standard two-wire connection type should easily interface to most standard thermistor type temperature transducers. -
An NMEA 0183 data output.
The NMEA 0183 output comprises of two connections: ‘+/A’, ‘-/B‘ and conforms in full to the NMEA 0183 standard for differential communications. -
Battery supply input.
Note
- To complete the NMEA 0183 standard all device interconnection NMEA cables used should meet the two-conductor, shielded, twisted pair configuration specification. The shield connection of these wires should be connected at the instrument end only to prevent ground loops.
- Refer to the Specifications section for the full details on input/output specifications.
- If a laptop / PC that is to be used with the DST-2 module does not have an RS-232 serial port available, the Actisense USB to RS-232 adapter cable has been tried and tested to provide a compatible communications port, when used in conjunction with the Actisense NMEA Opto-isolator adapter cable.
Please visit the Actisense website for full details on these, and other Actisense products.
Connecting to NMEA devices
Depth transducer input/outputs
Depth transducers have two or three connections:
- A ‘Live’ connection marked ‘DEPTH TDUCER’ on the PCB, usually a coloured wire on twisted pair cable (Airmar), or the centre conductor on a coaxial cable.
- A ‘Ground’ connection marked ‘DEPTH GROUND’, often the black core of a twisted pair cable (Airmar). Coaxial cables have a common shield/ground.
- A ‘Shield’ connection which is the shield of a two-wire cable, or the outer sheath on a coaxial cable.
Two-connection transducers only provide the ‘Live’ and ground connections. Whilst the DST-2 will work with these types of depth transducers, the performance obtained may not be as good as that from a transducer with separate shield and ground connections (due to a poorer SNR).
Speed/Log transducer input/outputs
Log transducers generally have three connections:
- A pulse connection marked ‘LOG PULSE’ on the DST PCB, supplies the speed pulses relative to speed.
- A ground connection marked ‘LOG GROUND’, used as a return for the pulse signal and power supply.
- A power supply connection marked ‘LOG PWR’, supplies the speed transducer with its power. The installer must ensure that this power supply is only connected to the log transducer. Damage may occur if this supply output is incorrectly connected, as it is connected to the sensitive internal DST circuitry.
Temperature transducer inputs
Thermistor type transducers have two connections:
- A resistance input connection, marked ‘TEMP’ on the DST-2 PCB.
- A second resistance connection, marked ‘TEMP GND’, is connected to the other side of the thermistor transducer. The polarity of these two signals is not important.
- Airmar “Triducer” type sensors share a common ground connection for the speed/log and temperature sensors.
If the required transducer does not have a separate ground for log and temperature, simply connect the single ground to the temperature ground marked “TEMP GND” on the DST-2 PCB.
Temperature transducers suitable for connection to the DST-2 are of the “thermistor” sensor type with a 10kΩ impedance at 25º Centigrade, as used in all Airmar technology transducers.
Note
- Wire colours are for guidance only.
- These connections should be carefully connected to each transducer according to the instructions of the transducer manufacturer(s).
Other Connections
NMEA 0183 Output
The NMEA 0183 buffered output is capable of driving up to 4 NMEA 0183 fully
compliant listening devices. NMEA Listener device’s A and B: These devices
conform in full to the NMEA 0183 standard and their connection ID’s match that
of the DST module.
RS232 (PC) compatible Output
The RS232 (PC) output can be used to connect to a PC’s communication port
using a cable conforming to the following specification:
- A D-type female (socket) connector for the PC end of the cable.
- A minimum of 3 cores are required in a shielded cable. Higher quality cable will make longer cable lengths possible. Most typical cables have two twisted pairs inside. In this case, use one pair for the ‘TX’ line and one for the ‘RX’ line. Use the spare wire in each pair as ground, and connect the cable shield to ground only at the computer end.
- The ‘TX’ of the DST-2 should be connected to the ‘RX’ of the computer (standard D-type, pin 2) and the DST-2 ‘RX’ should be connected to the ‘TX’ of the computer (pin 3). The ‘GROUND’ of the DST-2 should be connected to the PC’s ground (pin 5).
Connecting to the battery supply
The Actisense DST-2 should be wired to the vessel’s battery supply in the most direct manner possible, to minimize interference from other electronic devices. The cable used should be of sufficient gauge to handle the power requirements of the Actisense DST-2 (refer to the Specifications section).
Cable grommets
The Actisense DST-2 is provided with Nylon sealing grommets. It is recommended
that the box is positioned with the double grommets pointing downwards, so
that two cables may exit downwards from the case. This will prevent any
moisture from entering the case, as it will drain downwards, and not into the
case.
The module case lid is IP66 certified and has an integral gasket. If
additional protection from water is required, add a small amount of silicon /
sicaflex sealant to the lid’s gasket before the lid is screwed to the base.
Note
- Wire colours are for guidance only.
Using the ActiPatch upgrade utility
The Actisense DST-2 hardware can be easily and quickly updated using the Actisense ActiPatch. The main window has a simple look, as the flash update process has been completely automated for a trouble-free operation.

Availability
The current Actisense DST-2 software program is a very mature product that has
evolved over the past 8 years, and as such, we believe it has been tested more
rigorously than any other depth sounder device currently available.
Therefore, the upgrade feature has not yet become active, but everything is in
place should it ever be required.
Please monitor our Actisense website for possible updates, which will be
posted when required. If you would like to join our ‘Actiscope’ newsletter
list, you will be kept up to date on the DST-2 and all other Actisense
products via a simple e-mail. This part of the document will contain full
details of the PC based system for re-programming when it becomes available.
Connecting for re-programming
The DST-2 hardware should be connected to the PC serial communications port
via an Actisense bi-directional RS485-to-RS232 adapter cable, and a battery
supply.
Please refer to the NMEA 0183 Output section for full connection details.
If an Actisense NMEA Data Combiner (Multiplexer) is being used between the PC
and the DST, it will have to be bypassed to allow bi-directional communication
between the PC and the DST module.
Troubleshooting guide
This guide will concentrate on all relevant troubleshooting issues above simple cable connection faults. Therefore, the cables between the Actisense DST-2 hardware and any other devices should be checked as a matter of course, before continuing with this guide.
Table 1 – Troubleshooting guide
Problem / Error condition | Required user response |
---|---|
No data seen on NMEA instrument display | Ensure that correct polarity of the |
NMEA connections have been observed – NMEA connections are polarity sensitive. No damage should be caused if the polarity is reversed, but no NMEA data will be seen on the receiving instrument.
“ + ” and “ A ” connections should be wired to the DST’s “ +/A ”. “ – ” and “ B ” connections should be wired to the DST’s “ -/B ”.
No data seen on PC display| Ensure that the PC software is selecting the correct PC Comms port number.
As a diagnostic, you can use the standard Windows “HyperTerminal” utility to receive NMEA data. By selecting the NMEA DST-2 input comms port, the baud rate to that required (4800 standard), no parity, 1 stop bit, 8 data bits and no flow control, the received NMEA text data from the DST-2 will be shown on the PC screen.
Diagnostic LED
The NDC-2 hardware supports a tricolour diagnostic LED that indicates the
current operating mode of the hardware, or if an error has been detected
during the self-test initiation process. Table 2 details what each LED colour
represents and if any user interaction is required.

Compatible Transducer List
This compatibility list is by no means exhaustive – more transducer types and
manufacturers are added every month after their compatibility has been proven.
Airmar Technology are always expanding and improving their transducer range.
Any of the 200kHz model types will work well with the Actisense DST-2-C-200
module, and likewise, any of the 235kHz model types will work well with the
Actisense DST-2-C-235 module.
Airmar do not currently make any 150kHz transducers
The 150kHz DST-2 model has been successfully tested with the EchoPilot Marine
and NASA Marine transducers. Seafarer transducers are essentially the same as
the NASA model, so should be identical in performance, though this is yet to
be proven conclusively.
Actisense would like personal feedback of any company using the DST-2 module
with a different manufacturer and/ or model type of transducer not included in
this list. This feedback will help greatly to expand this list.
