i50 Tridata Digital Display

The i50 Tridata display combines three types of essential data: depth (with shallow water alarms), speed (current, maximum, average, log, and trip distance) and water temperature. It also includes a race start timer for racers.

Yes, the i50 range uses a high-contrast segmented LCD screen. This technical choice, combined with large digits and red backlighting, ensures maximum readability day and night, even in bright sunlight conditions.

Absolutely. The i50 Tridata has been specifically designed to offer a direct and easy replacement for the older ST60 generation. It maintains a similar footprint to fit perfectly into existing dashboard cutouts.

Yes, the display features SeaTalk NG connectivity, which is Raymarine's standard compatible with the NMEA2000 network. This allows for easy integration with modern navigation systems.

Yes, the i50 Tridata maintains native backward compatibility with older SeaTalk 1 networks. This greatly simplifies updating your instruments without having to rewire your entire boat.

The unit operates on a 12V DC supply (with a tolerance range of 10-16V DC). It can be powered directly via the SeaTalk NG network.

No, one of the major advantages of its segmented LCD screen is its very low power consumption. The display alone typically consumes less than 1W, which helps preserve the batteries of your sailboat or motorboat.

Yes, the display has an IPX6 waterproof rating. It is designed to withstand spray and waves, making it perfectly suited for outdoor installation in your boat's cockpit.

You can configure the units according to your preferences during calibration:

Speed: Knots (KTS), Miles per hour (MPH), or Kilometers per hour (KPH). Distance: Nautical miles, statute miles, or kilometers. Temperature: Degrees Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).

To configure the shallow depth alarm, navigate to the depth page, then press the Trip and Reset buttons simultaneously to enter setting mode. You can then set the desired alarm threshold for safe navigation.

The i50 Tridata is compatible with a wide range of analog depth, speed, and temperature transducers. This includes thru-hull models like the P120, B45, P319, as well as hull-mount (P79) or transom-mount (P66) transducers.

When the i50 Tridata is connected to a SeaTalk NG network, it can participate in group illumination. You can assign it to a group of units (e.g., "Helm 1") so that all instruments in that group share the same backlight level.

Yes, the i50 Tridata is designed for flush mounting. The front bezel can be easily removed by pulling on the edges, allowing the unit to be screwed directly to the bulkhead for a clean, integrated look with your other instruments.

If the depth information is flashing, it means the display has lost the transducer signal. The displayed value is the last known depth. Check the connections of your depth transducer at the back of the unit and ensure you are not in an area of strong turbulence or aerated water.

No, the i50 range features a button interface. This choice is deliberate: it allows for intuitive and reliable navigation between data pages, even in rough sea conditions or when wearing gloves, where touchscreens can reach their limits.

Yes, if you are powering the SeaTalk NG network or the device directly from a battery, it is essential to install an inline 5-amp fuse (or equivalent thermal breaker) on the positive (red) cable to protect your electrical system.

It is recommended to use only a clean, damp cloth to wipe the screen. Never use abrasive cleaners, acids, ammonia, or chemical solvents, as they can irreparably damage the LCD screen's surface treatment.

Yes, the unit can operate in 'Repeater' mode. If connected to a SeaTalk NG or SeaTalk 1 network where another instrument (or module) is already broadcasting depth and speed data, the i50 will display this information without needing its own transducers connected to the back.
