Yacht Devices YDHS-01N Humidity Sensor with NMEA 2000 Micro Male Connector, 0–100% RH and -40 to +120°C
The Yacht Devices YDHS-01N is a digital humidity and temperature sensor designed for NMEA 2000 marine electronics networks. It provides compatible chart plotters and instrument displays with relative humidity, air temperature and calculated dew point temperature data.
The sensor is designed for plug-and-play installation directly on an NMEA 2000 backbone. It can be used for weather monitoring, fog prediction, cabin comfort monitoring, moisture and condensation detection in lockers, and mold prevention applications.
Main Features
- Measures relative humidity from 0 to 100% RH
- Measures air temperature from -40 to +120°C
- Calculates dew point temperature
- NMEA 2000 Micro Male connector
- Plug-and-play NMEA 2000 installation
- Supports inside and outside humidity and temperature data configuration
- Stores humidity and air temperature measurements from the previous 24 hours
- Supports NMEA 2000 digital switching based on humidity, temperature and dew point difference
- Configurable humidity and temperature offsets

NMEA 2000 Integration
The YDHS-01N connects directly to an NMEA 2000 bus without requiring a drop cable. Measurement data is available to compatible equipment connected to the network and can be displayed simultaneously on multiple chart plotters and digital navigation instruments.
The device can be configured to report measurements as either inside or outside air temperature and humidity. Data instances can also be configured when multiple sensors are installed on the same network.
Transmitted Environmental Data
- Relative humidity
- Air temperature
- Calculated dew point temperature
NMEA 2000 Data Messages
PGN Data Type 130311 Environmental Parameters 130312 Temperature 130313 Humidity 130316 Temperature, Extended Range
Historical Data
The sensor stores humidity and air temperature measurements from the previous 24 hours in internal RAM. Historical data can be retrieved using compatible software or hardware.
Digital Switching Support
With firmware version 1.50 or later, the YDHS-01N can control compatible NMEA 2000 digital switching channels using PGN 127502 Switch Bank Control. Switching conditions can be based on measured air temperature, relative humidity or the difference between actual temperature and calculated dew point.
- Automatic ventilation control when cabin humidity becomes too high
- Automatic switching based on temperature limits
- Control based on relative humidity thresholds
- Control based on temperature-to-dew-point difference
- Suitable for fog warning and condensation monitoring applications
Configuration
The sensor is factory calibrated. Temperature and humidity offsets from -10.0 to +10.0°C or % RH can be configured to align readings with other onboard instruments when required.
Installation Recommendations
- Install the sensor in a well-ventilated location away from wet surfaces
- Do not install the sensor in direct sunlight
- Avoid locations where the sensor can be flooded, sprayed or exposed to rain
- Minimize thermal transfer from heated vessel structures
- Install the sensor vertically with the membrane end pointing toward the deck
- Minimum outer cable bend diameter: 30 mm
