Moisture sensor YDHS-01

for yachts

The sensor provides chart plotters and instrumental displays with humidity and air temperature measurements and calculated dew point temperature. The device is plug and play; you only need to plug it into a NMEA 2000 backbone to get readings on all chart plotters and instruments on board. This product can be used for weather monitoring and fog prediction; mold prevention by monitoring of water intake or moisture condensation in lockers; and remote monitoring of living quarters. From the helm you can see how comfortable it is in the cabin. The Device is equipped with a high quality sensor that provides ±2 % RH and ±0.3 °C accuracy in most of the operating range. Operating range is 0-100 % RH and -40..120 °C ( -40..248 °F ). The Humidity Sensor sensors support firmware updates and three programming (configuration) methods, please, read this article for details. The simplest way is to use a special installation description string which can be entered for the device in some modern models of chart plotters or in special software. Here you can see a video how to configure the Humidity Sensor and update the firmware using free CAN Log Viewer software The Device can be configured to display inside (saloon, cabin) or outside air temperature and humidity. Configuration of the data instance is also supported. For example, "Inside Humidity" with data instance 0, 1, 2 can indicate humidity in the saloon, and the bow and aft cabins. Chart plotters with factory settings are usually able to show only one value with data instance 0, but manufacturers may supply dealers and professional installers with internal instruments to customize chart plotter screens.
