SEN-SPD-HP

H5000/H3000 speed sensor with plastic flange

Paddlewheel speed sensor designed for precise measurement of water speed and sea temperature. Its direct integration with the B&G H5000 and H3000 instrument systems is facilitated by a self-sealing valve, allowing the insert to be removed for maintenance without hauling out the boat.

Range: This sensor is compatible with the B&G H5000 and H3000 systems. The H3000 range is obsolete; the H5000 range, although older, remains a benchmark for performance navigation and racing.

Included: Speed sensor, paddle wheel insert, through-hull fitting with self-sealing valve and plastic flange, 9m analog cable.

Detailed description

The B&G H5000/H3000 speed sensor is a through-hull transducer designed to provide surface speed and water temperature data to B&G navigation instrument systems. Utilizing paddlewheel technology, this sensor is a critical component for performance calculations and precise navigation. It is specifically compatible with the B&G H5000, H3000, and WTP3 navigation systems.

Technical specifications of the SEN-SPD-HP sensor

This sensor features a plastic flange for flush mounting to minimize hydrodynamic drag. The probe body measures 88 mm in diameter and 138 mm in overall length. It incorporates a water temperature sensor and transmits information via an analog output signal. Its robust plastic construction ensures durability in marine environments.

Design and maintenance

The B&G SEN-SPD-HP speed sensor is distinguished by its integrated self-sealing valve. This feature allows the impeller to be removed and cleaned without requiring the boat to be hauled out, thus significantly simplifying maintenance and ensuring measurement accuracy. This model with a plastic flange is the standard solution for H5000/H3000 systems, offering an optimal balance between performance and ease of maintenance.

Expert opinion

Pol CONIN

Digital Manager

« OEM reliability for H5000/H3000 speed data »

The SEN-SPD-HP sensor is the primary data source for the B&G H5000 and H3000 performance computers. Without accurate boat speed measurement, all true wind and current calculations become erroneous, directly compromising navigation strategy and autopilot efficiency. As an original part, it guarantees not only perfect electrical compatibility but also a perfectly calibrated paddlewheel response curve for B&G algorithms. The choice of a plastic thru-hull is a proven technical solution for modern hulls, preventing any risk of galvanic corrosion and simplifying installation. It is a critical component whose reliability is essential for the integrity of the entire navigation system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

Is this speed sensor compatible with my older B&G H3000 system?

Yes, this speed sensor is designed to be compatible with B&G H3000 and H5000 systems.

What is the difference between this sensor with a plastic thru-hull and one with a bronze thru-hull?

The main difference lies in the material of the transducer housing. The plastic housing is lighter and more resistant to corrosion, while the bronze housing may offer better durability in certain environments.

How do I install the B&G H5000/H3000 speed sensor with plastic thru-hull?

Installation generally involves securing the plastic housing through the boat's hull, then inserting the sensor into the housing. It is crucial to properly seal the assembly to prevent water ingress. Consult the B&G installation manual for detailed instructions.

Is this speed sensor waterproof?

Yes, this sensor is designed to be waterproof once correctly installed.

Does the H5000/H3000 speed sensor require special maintenance?

It is recommended to regularly clean the sensor to prevent the accumulation of algae and dirt, which could affect its accuracy. Gentle cleaning with a soft brush is usually sufficient.

Can I use this speed sensor on an aluminum hull?

The use of a plastic fairing can be advantageous on an aluminum hull to prevent galvanic corrosion. Ensure the fairing is well insulated from the hull.
