Advanced iSeaSense Pack

HSC100 – Fluxgate Electronic Compass

This is a sophisticated system with a Class B AIS transponder to provide AIS and GPS data as well as instrumentation. This system is expandable using an NMEA2000 backbone and the iSeaSense Wi-Fi Server to wirelessly stream all instruments and AIS data on to navigation apps & software. This Advanced iSeaSense pack therefore has all you need for your marine electronic system on board. It has all the instruments, AIS and cables you need.

In terms of instruments, the WND100 is an ultra tough Wind Transducer with Igildur™ bearings for exceptional life and corrosion resistance. Data transmission is via a super-thin 20m digital cable, where wiring connects it to an NMEA2000/NMEA0183 converter allowing you to connect direct to the NMEA 2000 network.

The Smart Sensor is a depth, speed, temperature and altitude sensor with NMEA2000 that features embedded micro-electronics. It also has a built in attitude sensor for vessel heel and trim measurements and a fast 5Hz update of boat speed. Ideal for speed trimming and superior accuracy.  Trim and heel data is updated at 10Hz. Moreover, this is the market’s first Retractable multi- sensor offering depth, speed, altitude and temperature in a single, 51 mm (2”) fitting. It also features a Bluetooth interface which is used for transducer calibration.  Highly accurate speed results can be achieved with an advanced calibration app (for iOS and Android) available – compensating for heel too.  Once calibrated, the data is saved and retained in the transducer so there’s no need for calibrating individual instruments.

The HSC100 is an accurate fluxgate compass heading data. This remains a fundamental parameter for marine navigation and the HSC100 uses fluxgate technology to deliver heading data for on board systems.

The AIT2500 is an ultra-compact Class B+ SOTDMA AIS Transponder and has NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000 and USB connection. The AIT2500 is complete with GPS (10m cable) and VHF antenna (20m cable). The VHF antenna is a 15cm VHF heliflex antenna, this is specifically tuned to AIS (162MHz) frequencies for optimal performance.

Finally, the Advanced iSeaSense pack includes iSeaSense Wi-Fi interface. It is an easy to fit NMEA 2000 to WiFi server, with a design to allow NMEA 2000 navigation data available for apps on smartphones, tablets, iPads and PCs. Once installed, it creates a local WiFi network for devices to connect.

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.
