IS42 Digital Display

Description

The multipurpose IS42 instrument display by Simrad is designed to provide unparalleled visibility and functionality in all marine conditions. Equipped with a vibrant color screen, the IS42 ensures that critical data is always easy to read, regardless of lighting or weather. This versatile display allows users to monitor essential information such as wind data, boat speed, depth, engine performance, autopilot status, and AIS data—all at a glance, enhancing situational awareness and safety on the water. With the addition of the optional OP12 keypad, the IS42 becomes even more powerful, enabling full control of many Simrad autopilot systems. This feature is particularly useful for hands-on sailors and powerboaters who require precise, responsive navigation control. The IS42's intuitive interface allows for easy customization, so you can prioritize the data most relevant to your needs, whether you're cruising, racing, or navigating challenging waters. Its robust construction and high-quality materials ensure durability and reliability, making it a trustworthy companion on any voyage. The IS42 integrates seamlessly with other Simrad devices, offering a unified system that enhances your boating experience and ensures optimal performance under any condition.

Key Features

• Clear Views and Intuitive Control
  Designed for use in all conditions, the IS42’s full-colour display panel is optically bonded to its protective glass covering; this eliminates the possibility of condensation or fogging within the display. Transflective LCD technology makes use of reflected sunlight to brighten rather than obscure the displayed image, delivering superior daytime visibility and lower power consumption compared to traditional backlit displays. Simple, waterproof controls make the IS42 easy to use in rough conditions, and reliably responsive to wet or gloved hands.

• A Truly Multi-Purpose Digital Instrument
  The IS42 instrument can be configured to display multiple ‘pages’ containing information such as wind conditions, vessel speed, depth, and more. Quickly switch between pages to access the information you need when you need it. Engine monitoring pages display important data such as RPM, engine temperature, trim tab status, fuel flow and economy for up to two NMEA 2000® connected engines. When networked with a compatible AIS receiver, the IS42 also offers a clear graphical display of nearby AIS-equipped vessels. Watch for potential collision hazards with customisable alarms, and receive AIS safety messages right on the IS42 for the ultimate situational awareness.

• Easy installation
  The IS42 is simple to install with an easy front-mount option, requiring no access to the back of the console or panel, and single-cable NMEA 2000® connectivity for both power and data. The IS42 is compatible with a wide range of instruments, sensors, engine monitoring interfaces, Simrad autopilot systems, and other NMEA 2000® data sources. With plug-and-play connectivity, you can use as many or as few IS42 displays as needed to create your ideal digital instrument display. It’s easy to configure data pages suited to your boat and activities, making your most important data immediately accessible.
