Depth/Speed/Temperature, triducter with DeviceNet NMEA2000 connector

The Raymarine DST110-01 is a versatile triducer designed for boats. It combines three essential functions into a single unit: depth measurement, boat speed through water detection, and water temperature reading. Its purpose is to provide these critical navigation and performance data directly to your NMEA 2000 network.

The DST110-01 triducer measures and transmits three types of data:

Depth: Indicates the distance between the sensor and the seabed.Speed: Measures the boat's speed relative to the water.Temperature: Provides the temperature of the surrounding water.This information is then broadcast on the NMEA 2000 network to be displayed on compatible instruments.

The DST110-01 triducer is designed for direct integration into modern marine networks. It connects to an NMEA 2000 network via its standard DeviceNet connector. This digital connection eliminates the need for complex wiring or dedicated interfaces, enabling instant data distribution to all compatible displays and instruments on the network.

The DST110-01 triducer is equipped with a DeviceNet connector. This type of connector is a standard for NMEA 2000 networks, ensuring reliable connection and broad compatibility with modern marine equipment.

Yes, the DST110-01 triducer is designed to be compatible with other marine equipment. Thanks to its compliance with the NMEA2000 standard and its standard DeviceNet connector, it can be integrated into systems including multifunction displays (MFD) and instruments from other brands such as B&G or Garmin, provided they are also NMEA2000 compliant.

The DST110-01 triducer is designed for a through-hull installation. This means it is mounted through a hole drilled in the boat's hull, with the sensor part outside in the water and the connection inside.

The DST110-01 transducer uses ultrasonic technology for depth measurement. It emits sound pulses and calculates depth based on the time it takes for these pulses to return after bouncing off the seabed.

Speed measurement on the DST110-01 is typically performed using a paddlewheel transducer. This small propeller rotates due to the water flow passing under the boat's hull, and the sensor converts the rotation speed into boat speed data.

No, the DST110-01 triducer does not require a separate power supply. It is powered directly from the NMEA 2000 network to which it is connected, simplifying wiring and integration.

Yes, it is generally possible to calibrate the depth and speed data provided by the DST110-01. This calibration is performed via the multifunction display (MFD) or the connected NMEA 2000 instrument, allowing you to adjust the readings for optimal accuracy based on your boat's specific characteristics.

Yes, the Raymarine DST110-01 triducer is designed and manufactured with marine-grade materials to withstand harsh marine environments, including prolonged exposure to saltwater.

The main difference is that the DST110-01 is a triducer, meaning it combines three functions (depth, speed, temperature) into a single unit. This simplifies installation by reducing the number of holes to drill in the hull and the necessary wiring, unlike single-function transducers which would require a separate unit for each measurement.

For optimal performance, the DST110-01 triducer must be installed in an area of the hull where the water flow is most laminar and free of turbulence or air bubbles. It is generally recommended to position it away from propellers, keels, water intakes, or any other element that could disrupt the water flow under the hull.

No, the DST110-01 triducer is specifically designed for NMEA2000 networks. It is not directly compatible with older NMEA0183 networks and would require an external protocol converter to interact with such systems.

Yes, the Raymarine DST110-01 transducer is typically supplied with the standard mounting hardware required for its through-hull installation. This usually includes nuts, washers, seals, and plugs to ensure a watertight and secure installation.

Yes, the DST110-01 is considered an intelligent NMEA2000 sensor. It integrates the necessary electronics to convert raw measurements (depth, speed, temperature) into standard NMEA2000 data messages, which it broadcasts directly on the network without requiring an external interface box.

Installing a through-hull triducer like the DST110-01 requires drilling a hole through the boat's hull. While this can be done by an experienced DIYer, it is often recommended to hire a marine electronics professional to ensure a proper, watertight installation optimized for performance.

The DST110-01 triducer is primarily designed for fiberglass hulls. For wooden hulls, special attention to waterproofing is required. For metal hulls, a specific isolation kit is necessary to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure proper operation, although performance may be affected by the hull material.

Yes, the Raymarine DST110-01 triducer is covered by the manufacturer's standard warranty. For specific details regarding warranty duration and conditions, consult Raymarine’s official documentation provided with the product or on their website.

The DST110-01 simplifies wiring as it combines three sensors into one and connects directly to the NMEA 2000 network via a single DeviceNet cable and connector. This eliminates the need to run multiple cables for each sensor (depth, speed, temperature) and connect them to separate interfaces, reducing clutter and installation complexity.
