Introduction
This Manual contains information on how to install, configure and operate the digital Humidity Sensor
YDHS-01 (hereinafter Device) intended for use in NMEA 2000 marine electronics networks.
The Device 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 quality. From the helm
you can see how comfort it is in the cabin.
Please read carefully chapters II and III before mounting the sensor. As any sensitive device, the sensor
must be handled with care. An improper installation location (under direct sunlight, near a wet surface)
can cause faulty or inaccurate sensor readings.
The Device is designed for operation in a NMEA 2000 network and is compatible with a wide range
of equipment supporting this protocol. Raymarine SeaTalk NG, Simrad SimNet and Furuno CAN networks
are branded versions of NMEA 2000 and differ only in the type of connectors.
The Device can be configured to display inside (saloon, cabin) or outside air temperature and humidity.
This can be done easily with CAN Log Viewer software,or it can be done from any chart plotter using a smart
sequence of switching of chart datum or magnetic variation setting (tested with Raymarine and Garmin
chart plotters, see chapters V and VII).
Configuration of data instance is also supported. For example, “Inside Humidity” with data instance
0, 1, 2 may means humidity in saloon and in 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.
That allows installation of dozens of humidity sensors in a single network.
An important rule among sailors is to keep the ocean outside the ship and to remain dry as long
as possible. Our Device can help you with that. We thank you for purchasing and wish you happy voyages!
