D800-INSR 170C Depth Sensor - Analog

The AIRMAR D800-INSR 170C transducer is a device designed to measure underwater depth. It provides essential data for marine navigation by detecting the seabed.

The primary function of this sensor is to provide accurate data on the water depth beneath the vessel. This information is critical for safe navigation and understanding the underwater environment.

The AIRMAR D800-INSR 170C sensor is specifically an analog model. It outputs an analog signal, making it compatible with marine navigation systems requiring this type of input.

This sensor is designed to be integrated into marine navigation systems and fishfinders that accept an analog input signal for depth measurement.

As an analog sensor, the D800-INSR 170C is primarily intended for analog systems. To connect it to a digital display, an analog-to-digital signal converter would typically be required unless the display has compatible analog input.

No, the D800-INSR 170C sensor provides a direct analog signal. To integrate it into an NMEA 2000 network, which is a digital protocol, an analog-to-NMEA 2000 conversion module would be required.

Installing a depth sounder typically requires technical knowledge of marine electronics and hull installation. It is recommended to hire a professional or have proven skills to ensure correct and secure installation.

The sensor requires proper power supply and correct connection to the receiving device (display or fishfinder) via its analog interface. Specific wiring details depend on the device it is connected to.

This depth sounder is made by AIRMAR, a recognized specialist in marine transducers and sensors.

The exact model number of this analog depth sounder is D800-INSR 170C.

The D800-INSR 170C is an essential component, specifically a depth transducer. It is not a complete fishfinder by itself, but it provides raw depth data to a compatible fishfinder or display.

This sensor is ideal for marine navigation applications requiring reliable depth measurement, particularly for existing or new systems using an analog interface for underwater detection.

The D800-INSR 170C sensor is a depth sounder. While it detects the seabed, its primary function is depth measurement. For specific fish detection, a transducer designed for fishing with specific imaging characteristics would be more appropriate.

To verify compatibility, consult the technical specifications of your navigation system or depth sounder. It must explicitly state support for an analog depth sensor input.

Depth sounders often require initial calibration to compensate for installation-specific factors such as the boat’s draft. Calibration procedures are typically performed via the display system to which the transducer is connected.

Yes, as a marine product from AIRMAR, the D800-INSR 170C transducer is designed to withstand harsh marine environments, including exposure to saltwater and temperature fluctuations.

Yes, this AIRMAR depth transducer is covered by the manufacturer's standard warranty.

The sensor is supplied as a single unit, ready for integration. Installation-specific mounting brackets (e.g., through-hull, transom, or in-hull) are generally not included with the sensor alone and must be selected based on the desired installation type.
