KEY FEATURES
Digital Yacht iSeaSense is a new range of complete marine instrumentation packs based on NMEA 2000 and wireless connectivity – allowing for maximum flexibility and connectivity. Choose from using phones, iPads and tablets for boat data displays as well as 3rd party industry standard instruments and multi function displays.
Top quality and highly accurate sensors are used for boat depth, speed, temp, wind, compass and GPS data. Data can be shared with other devices on the NMEA 2000 network too.
iSeaSense is easy to specify. Available as two main starter packs, everything is included for an easy install and ordering. No app is needed either as the iSeaSense wireless server creates powerful graphical and numeric display pages that can be viewed via a browser on any device.
iSeaSense includes the WND100 wind sensor with 20m cable and a interface to “T” directly to the NMEA 2000 backbone. It means there’s no heavy NMEA 2000 cabling to the top of the mast and no need for complex mast top terminations for the Wind Sensor.
iSeaSense also includes depth, speed and temperature sensor. A spatial sensor is also included for detecting pitch and roll and there’s a sophisticated algorithm for calibrating boat speed information based on heel.
A full NMEA 2000 backbone cabling back is included and the wireless interface for connectivity and there is a spare cable and connection point for additional NMEA 2000 devices.
With NMEA 2000, expanding the system is easy and you can add any Digital Yacht’s instruments such as GPS, AIS, electronic compass and more. You can also send the instruments data to your NMEA 2000 chart plotter or display.
iSeaSense features an easy-to-use web interface. No apps are required. Simply open the browser on a connected device, navigate to iSeaSense.local and the optimised touch screen display is ready.
You can calibrate the wind sensor via the iSeaSense web interface and also displays true and apparent wind speed and angle plus VMG calculations.
The web interface works on iOS, Android, PC, Linux and MAC – any standard web browser as well as e-ink displays like Kindle and e-book. It supports up to 3 connected devices with super fast 5Hz updates.
The data can also be used by 100’s of popular navigation apps & software such as Navionics, TZ iBoat, OpenCPN, SailGrib, etc.

OPERATION
You can access the iSeaSense dashboard through its own web interface, just open your web web browser, enter the iSeaSense’s IP address or iSeaSense.local and you will access the attractive dash to display all your instruments data. So no complicated programming software or app is required.
By default, iSeaSense has a series of pre-defined pages that display digital databoxes and analogue “instruments” of the instrument and navigation data available on the NMEA 2000 network.
With iSeaSense you’re in control of the data you see. The pages are fully editable, so any databox can be configured for the information you want and you can easily add and remove databox to build your perfect display. The configuration can also be saved and shared – ideal for standard configurations for production boats and OEMs.
