TD 50, 5-tolline puuteekraan

The Garmin TD 50 is not a standalone chartplotter. It is a remote display and control screen that must be connected to one or more compatible Garmin chartplotters via the Garmin Marine Network. Without this connection, the device will not function.

The Garmin TD 50 display can show a wide range of navigation and engine data from the NMEA 2000 network. This includes:

Boat speed and water depthHeading and rudder angleEngine parameters (RPM, temperature, etc.)Battery statusWind, temperature, and humidity dataNavigation information (heading, cross-track error, etc.)It can also control compatible systems via the EmpirBus network.

Yes, the Garmin TD 50 is fully compatible with the NMEA 2000 protocol. It can receive and display data from sensors and instruments connected to this network, such as depth sounders, wind transducers/vane anemometers, or navigation displays. It supports a long list of standard NMEA 2000 PGNs.

The Garmin TD 50’s touchscreen has a brightness of 1200 cd/m² (NIT). This high brightness ensures excellent readability, even in full sunlight on a boat. The screen is also treated with an anti-glare and anti-fingerprint coating for better visibility.

The Garmin TD 50 has an IPX7 waterproof rating per IEC 60529 standards. This means it is protected against accidental immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes. It is therefore perfectly suited for marine environments.

Yes, the Garmin TD 50 is compatible with the EmpirBus system. This feature allows you to remotely control and monitor various boat electrical systems, such as navigation lights, bilge pumps, or interior lighting, directly from the touchscreen display.

The Garmin TD 50 dimensions vary depending on whether it is equipped with its solar protection cover or not:

With solar cover: 113 x 144 x 56 mm (4.45 x 5.67 x 2.20 in)Without solar cover: 105 x 140 x 51 mm (4.13 x 5.51 x 2.01 in)

The Garmin TD 50 is designed for flush-mount installation on the dashboard. Follow these steps:

Use the cutting template provided in the box to mark the cut-out area.Carefully cut the opening with a hole saw or jigsaw.Drill 2.5 mm pilot holes for the included wood screws.Secure the unit using the supplied screws.It is strongly recommended to use the provided paper template and not to print it yourself to avoid dimension errors.

The Garmin TD 50 has a maximum power consumption of 5.85 W. Its input voltage on the NMEA 2000 network ranges from 9 to 16 Vdc. It has a Load Equivalency Number (LEN) of 13, corresponding to a current draw of 650 mA at 9 Vdc.

The Garmin TD 50 is designed to operate on the Garmin Marine Network. It is compatible with Garmin chartplotters that use this same network. For guaranteed compatibility, it is advisable to verify that your Garmin chartplotter has a Garmin Marine Network port. Recent series such as GPSMAP are generally compatible.

The Garmin TD 50's screen is protected by glass treated with an anti-reflective and anti-fingerprint coating. This reduces sun glare for better readability and limits fingerprints on the touchscreen.

The Garmin TD 50 operates within a temperature range of -15°C to 55°C (5°F to 131°F). It is important not to use the device outside this range to ensure proper operation and longevity.

To avoid any magnetic interference, the Garmin TD 50 must be installed at a safe distance of at least 20 cm (7.87 inches) from any magnetic compass. This distance is called the 'compass-safe distance'.

Yes, the Garmin TD 50 is explicitly compatible with the EmpirBus system. This integration allows you to control and monitor the status of many boat electrical systems directly from the TD 50’s touchscreen.

The weight of the Garmin TD 50 varies depending on whether it is equipped with its solar protection cover:

Without the solar cover: 328 g (11.57 oz)With the solar cover: 375 g (13.23 oz)

Yes, the Garmin TD 50 can display engine parameters if it is connected to an NMEA 2000 network. It supports PGNs dedicated to engine data, such as engine speed (PGN 127488) and dynamic data (PGN 127489). You can view RPM, temperature, oil pressure, and other information.

The Garmin TD 50 housing is made of fully-gasketed polycarbonate. This material is robust and designed to withstand vibrations and harsh marine conditions. Ensure the mounting surface is sufficiently solid to support the unit and protect it from excessive shock.
