Yacht Devices YDGS-01 Exhaust Gas Sensor NMEA 2000

Yacht Devices YDGS-01 Exhaust Gas Sensor NMEA 2000

The Yacht Devices YDGS-01 Exhaust Gas Sensor is designed to measure the temperature of extremely hot gases, solids, and liquids within a range of 0 to +800 °C (+32 to 1472 °F). Though primarily intended for exhaust gas, the sensor can be reconfigured to monitor "Air Temperature," "Exhaust Gas Temperature," "Heating System Temperature," "Engine Room Temperature," and more.

Key Features

• Wide Temperature Range: Measures temperatures from 0 to +800 °C (+32 to 1472 °F).
• Flexible Configuration: Factory-configured to transmit data as "Air Temperature," but can be reconfigured for other temperature types.
• Easy Installation: Plug and play into an NMEA 2000 backbone to get readings on all NMEA 2000 chart plotters and instruments onboard.
• High-Quality Build: Temperature is measured by an external thermocouple with a 90-cm (3-foot) sheath and internal heat-resistant fiberglass insulation.

Accuracy and Performance

The trade-off for the wide temperature range is an accuracy of ±5.5 °C up to 330 °C, improving significantly below 100 °C. At the upper limit of 800 °C, the accuracy is ±11.5 °C. For applications requiring better accuracy, consider the Digital Thermometer YDTC-13, which offers a ±0.5 °C measurement error within a range of -55 to +125 °C.

Advanced Functionality

• Automated Control: Can be configured to turn on/off specified channels of digital switching equipment, such as ventilation systems or alarms based on temperature thresholds.
• Data Storage: Stores temperature measurements from the last 48 hours in its RAM, retrievable by compatible software or hardware for historical data analysis.
• Firmware Updates: Supports firmware updates and three programming methods for configuration via special installation description strings, modern chart plotters, or dedicated software.

Compatibility

• Compatible with NMEA 2000 networks, including Raymarine SeaTalk NG, Simrad SimNet, and Furuno CAN networks.
• Interfaces seamlessly with Yacht Devices' NMEA 0183 Gateway, NMEA 2000 USB Gateway, Wi-Fi Gateway, Wi-Fi Router, Circuit Control YDCC-04, Text Display, and CAN Log Viewer for data display, control, and historical analysis.

Product Benefits

• Ensures accurate monitoring of high-temperature environments like exhaust gases.
• Provides automated control based on temperature readings, enhancing safety and operational efficiency.
• Stores and retrieves historical temperature data for analysis and troubleshooting.
