We bought a nice LED lamp, Nemo Ellisse Pendant Double, which was said to be dimmable, but when receiving it there was a big IF !!!
The lamp was not "standard" dimmable, instead it was dimmable with 1-10 VDC or 100 Kohm potentiometer.
The 1-10 VDC control is common in big installations, in public environment, since it can control a lot of lamps with one dimmer.
Checking the lamp I found that the AC/DC LED driver was a Mean Well LPF-90D and in the drivers specification the second IF was found !!
The lowest control level didn't switch of the lamp
The sea water pump, labeled 3589907 and replaced by 21380890, was leaking a little so a change of seal was necessary. Numbers below refers to the explode view.
- Detach the generator belt from the pump pulley and the 2 hoses from the pump.
- Unscrew the water pump, 4 scews, from the engine block.
- Remove the cover, 7, from the pump.
- Pull out the impeller, 6.
- Remove the cam, 4, by unscrewing screw 18.
- Remove the washer, 22.
- Remove the lock ring 14 and washer 21.
- With a pliers remove the seal 8.

Sometimes You want to "take home" Your latest trip on sea and "replay" it or replay it doing some changes in the settings for the OpenPlotter or OpenCPN applikation and se the result direct.
One way is to create log files with the the "raw" NMEA data and then use them at home with tips from this post.
Creating log files from NMEA 2000 bus, N2K, is the most straightforward.

If You started with my quick instal guide You are a little familiar with OpenPlotter, (OP), basics and now we proceed with the sensors. Don't forget to delete the RMC sentence from the "NMEA 0183 generator" which we used.

For Openplotter V2 check here
To test Openplotter, (OP), together with OpenCPN,(OC), without connecting to the navigation network on board there are two features
- Using the NMEA generators, found in the OP "Tools" menu
- Use log files which are stored within the SignalK application.

This backup method will make a copy/image of the whole card even if there is very little data on it. So if the card is 16Gb, the backup file also will be 16Gb. On the other hand You can ZIP the image file to save space.
Another, maybe smarter ?, backup method is described here.

If You have a Private Weather Station(PWS) and would like to have a good view over the data and, as an add on, also forecasts from Weather Underground (WU) this free software probably solves Your problem. Despite that the project is terminated the code is available and instructions is available at my other posts
