Airmar DST810 Plastic Smart Sensor 235kHz - NMEA 2000 - Bluetooth [DST810PV-N2]

The Airmar DST810 Plastic Smart Sensor is a game - changer for boaters. With a 235kHz depth frequency, it offers depth, speed - through - water, water temperature, and boat attitude data all in one. The new Gen2 paddlewheel and Airmar's CAST™ App allow for easy speed calibration via a wireless device. This means you can get greater performance from your hull without the need for expensive PC - based software. The 5Hz speed output provides smoother data for better decision - making. An integrated attitude sensor helps with heel and trim, and simple attitude calibration corrects for off - center mounting. It can handle a hull deadrise of up to 22°, has a depth range from 0.5m to 100m, and a speed range up to 45 knots. Wireless connectivity through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) offers up to 30 feet of range. With the CAST App, you can easily calibrate the sensor, conduct heel - compensated speed calibrations, and set PGNs, offset, and output rates. Ideal for both sailing and powerboats, it stores all configurations in the sensor, not the displays. Specifications include a 20 - foot cable length, male connection, NMEA 2000 data interface, and a thru - hull mounting style. This product may not be returned to the point of purchase, so contact the manufacturer directly for issues.

Using the Airmar DST810 Plastic Smart Sensor is straightforward. First, install it through the hull according to the instructions. Make sure the mounting is secure. Then, connect it to your boat's NMEA 2000 network using the provided cable. Power it up with a voltage between 9VDC and 16VDC. To calibrate the sensor, open the Airmar CAST App on your wireless device and pair it with the sensor via Bluetooth. You can easily calibrate the speed, conduct heel - compensated speed calibrations, and set various parameters right from the app. When using the sensor, keep in mind that the temperature sensor works best in the range of - 10°C to 40°C. Also, the wireless range of up to 30 feet can vary depending on the mount location. For maintenance, regularly check the cable for any signs of damage. Clean the sensor periodically to ensure accurate readings. If you encounter any issues, don't return it to the point of purchase. Instead, contact the manufacturer directly for assistance.
