Airmar DT800 P617v 235kHz NMEA2000

Airmar has taken its proven Tilted Element™ and broadband technologies and applied them to its leading line of Smart™ Sensors. The DT800 is a low-profile, retractable, thru-hull sensor that computes accurate depth and temperature data and sends it to any NMEA 2000® display. The DT800 operates at a frequency of 235 kHz and can run simultaneously with other Airmar 50/200 kHz transducers on-board with no interference. The broadband ceramic delivers depth readings to 183 m (600'), as well as accurate shallow-water readings in as little as 500 mm (1.6'). Available in fixed 0°, 12°, or 20° tilt, the DT800 is perfect for power and sailboat applications. These low-profile housings do not affect hull performance and will provide accurate readings at high speeds.

Airmar's Smart™ Sensors have embedded microelectronics so that the transducer element and signal processor are only millimeters apart. The signal from the depth transducer is processed right inside the sensor itself. All that is needed to receive depth and temperature data is a single cable into a compatible device or display. Because the ceramic is tilted inside the housing, the transducer beam is oriented straight down, resulting in strong bottom echo returns and accurate depth readings. The retractable housing with a self-closing valve reduces water flow into the vessel when the transducer is removed for cleaning.

Key Features

• Tilted-Element Broadband-Ceramic versions available in a 0° or 12° or 20° tilt
• Temperature sensor in DT800 models
• Cable lengths up to 100 m (330’) are possible with no loss of performance—NMEA 0183 only
• Retractable housing with water valve

In all cases it is the Airmar Part Number (PN) that is the most important number to have available when ordering parts or contacting us about the transducer.

Before calling or emailing us about parts, please make sure you have the Airmar part number from the label on the transducer cable.
