DL850

The Skipper DL 850 is a dual axis speed log, working on the Doppler principle, providing longitudinal and fore/aft transversal ship speed relative to the sea bed or the water. The DL 850 provides accurate navigation parameters measured as they happen, and presented in a logical, user friendly way.

The DL 850 present the critical parameters on screen and can be interfaced with bridge systems and repeaters. The DL 850 can also present depth, water temperature and ROT parameters. Doppler technology is commonly considered the gold standard of speed measurement as it measures remotely, (away from the effects caused by the vessel itself) and once installed, it operates even with considerable organic growth on the transducer. The DL 850 can measure the speed of the vessel through the water at all times, and over the bottom nearing 150 m of water (270 kHz version).
