If you are looking for a unit to show you precise depth down to 2 ft and temperature to 0.02 of a degree, then the RD-30 is the answer. Simply connect the RD-30 to our new Furuno Smart Sensor and you are ready to go! The new Furuno Smart Sensor is an ingeniously engineered depth sensor, entirely encased within it's own transducer housing. The Smart Sensor connects directly to the RD-30 display, via the NMEA data port, without requiring any additional processor or junction box. Power is supplied to the Smart Sensor forn the connected display. The Smart Sensor operates at 235 Khz. This frequency was chosen for it's excellent ability to provide solid performance at both high speeds and in very shallow depths. Additionally, the 235 Khz frequency will not interfere with other Furuno echo sounding equipment, including any products running at 200 khz. These versatile products can also be added to any NavNet system, providing numerous NMEA data display modes, including: Depth, Temperature, Wind Data, Speed. Bearing, Course, etc.
It's features include: A Versatile Multi-Function NMEA 0183 Display and Data Repeater - Rugged, Waterproof Housing with 4.5" Silver Bright LCD - Two independent NMEA 0183 Input and Output Ports - Programmable data-combiner, for mixture of NMEA 0183 input port data to output port - Up to 8 NMEA Data parameters can be combined onto either or both NMEA 0183 Output Ports - Five Fully Programmable User Display Modes with Text, Graphic and Graphing Capabilities - Compatibility and Capability to mix NMEA 0183 Sources from an NMEA 0183 device - Simultaneous Alarm Setting Capabilities for the following parameters: Temp/Depth/Speed/Arrival/Anchor/XTE/Trip/Odometer/Timer and Countdown Timer - Multiple Displays can be "Daisy Chained" using a maximum of three displays in a chain - Power to the displays can be controlled from a NavNet display or the first RD-30 in the chain - Programmable "Offsets" are provided from Depth, Temp, Speed, , Time and Wind Information - Built-in LORAN TD converter - Resettable Trip and and Odometer Functions - Optional Smart Sensor connects to and is powered by the RD 30 Display - Cable Extensions will not effect temperature sensing or depth measurements - Spare NMEA 0183 Input Port allows RD 30 Smart Sensor to be utilized simultaneously as a Remote Navigation Data Repeater - Optional Smart Sensor features 235 Khz Digital Echo Sounder and Standard High Precision Temp Sensor - Unique 235 Khz frequency provides superior high speed and shallow water performance - Smart Sensor Performance - Approximately 2.5 feet minimum - 330 feet max at speeds up to 50 knots depending on installation and placement.
