Introduction
This Manual contains information on how to install, configure and operate YDTC-13
digital thermometers (hereinafter Thermometer) and YDBC-05 digital barometers
(hereinafter Barometer) intended for use on pleasure crafts.
The Thermometer and Barometer (hereinafter, where the differences are not
critical, Devices) have one digital sensor. Up to 50 devices may be used on a vessel
simultaneously; this limitation is set by the network specification. Data from
the Devices can be displayed on chartplotters, digital navigation instruments, as well
as used by other digital equipment of the vessel.
The Thermometer performs measurements within the range from -55 to +125
°С
(-67..+257 °F) , the sensor is placed outside the case on a flexible 95cm-long wire
in a sealed stainless steel sleeve and can be used to measure the temperature
of gases and liquids. The wire, if necessary, can be elongated up to 100 meters.
The Thermometer can be configured to display its data as "Air temperature",
"Sea temperature", "Temperature in the refrigerator", "Temperature in the engine
room", etc.
The Barometer is intended for measuring atmospheric pressure within the range
from 300 to 1100 hPa (mbar). The sensor is located inside the device case.
The Barometer identifier can be configured so that data from several Barometers
will be simultaneously displayed on a chartplotter.
The Devices are designed for operating in an NMEA 2000 network and
are compatible with a wide range of equipment supporting this protocol. Raymarine
SeaTalk NG, Simrad SimNet, Furuno CAN networks are branded versions
of NMEA 2000 and differ only in the type of connectors. In its devices, Garmin
uses the NMEA 2000 Micro connector which is compatible with the DeviceNet
