The brand - new DST - 800PWF Transom Mount Smart Sensor combines depth, speed, and temperature functions in a single compact unit. As a NMEA2000 device, its wide fore - aft, fan - shaped beam can detect the bottom even on high deadrise hulls or sailboats. It features Airmar's patented speed signal processing for stable and highly accurate speed readings from 1 to 60 MPH. With a Molded Plastic P66 Housing, it operates at 235 kHz. It measures depth, speed, and temperature (±1 degree) and comes with a 6 - meter cable and a 5 - Pin NMEA2K Connector.
Using the Furuno DST - 800PWF is easy. First, mount it on the transom of your boat. The sensor will start measuring depth, speed, and temperature right away. When using it, make sure the sensor is properly installed to get accurate readings. Avoid hitting the sensor against hard objects as it may damage the Molded Plastic P66 Housing. For maintenance, regularly check the 6 - meter cable for any signs of wear or damage. Clean the sensor gently with a soft cloth to keep it functioning well. Also, if you're not using the boat for a long time, it's a good idea to store the sensor in a dry place.
