Replacements for Obsolete Modules
Deep Sea Electronics (DSE) has been manufacturing engine and generator control modules since 1977. Over time, some parts become obsolete and unavailable. Additionally, end-users often wish to update existing panels with more modern equivalents. This document outlines popular DSE controllers, both past and present, and suggests compatible replacements from the current DSE product range.
