DS-85
The DS85 is a new generation Doppler Speed Log that penetrates through turbulent water to provide incredibly accurate speed measurement. Speed and Distance Measuring Equipment (SDME) is required for SOLAS vessels of 150GT or more, and the DS85 delivers the pinnacle of stability for these ships, capitalizing on Furuno's decades of expertise to produce reliable speed measurement in the most challenging of conditions.
The DS85’s new, bright color LCD display is both attractive and easy-to-read, and includes a fresh analog speed display. Up to three displays can be connected to the system, and power is supplied through the network, making the installation of remotely located displays a breeze.
