The new DT-800PSF Retractable Smart Sensor combines depth and temperature functions in a single compact thru-hull fitting. With just one hole in the boat's hull, it's a great choice for boat builders and owners. It's a NMEA2000 device with a wide fore-aft, fan-shaped beam that can find the bottom even on high deadrise hulls or sailboats. Features include 235 kHz frequency, accurate depth and temperature measurement (±1 degree), a 6-meter cable with a 5-pin NMEA2K connector, a near-flush housing that minimizes drag (only 5 mm or 3/16' outside the hull), easy removal of the depth and temperature insert for service or storage, a self-jacking cap for easy insert removal, and a molded plastic P17 housing.
Using the Furuno DT-800PSF is simple. First, install it on your boat's hull following the provided instructions. Make sure to connect the 6-meter cable with the 5-pin NMEA2K connector properly. Once installed, it will start providing you with accurate depth and temperature readings. When it comes to maintenance, if you need to service or store the sensor, you can easily remove the depth and temperature insert using the self-jacking cap. Just be careful not to damage the cable or the housing. Keep the sensor clean and free from debris to ensure its optimal performance. And remember, this sensor is designed for marine use, so don't use it in other environments.
