AdvanSea Multi S400 Display Only: Precision Depth & Speed for Marine Navigation

The AdvanSea Multi S400 Display Only is the compact cockpit companion sailors turn to when depth and speed data must be instantly legible, unambiguous, and easy to act on. Designed to mount quickly on bulkheads or panels, this single-display instrument consolidates essential navigation readouts while letting you keep your primary transducer network intact. It’s the streamlined solution for cruisers and racers who demand clear data without dash clutter.

Why the Multi S400 stands out

• One clear reading, two essential metrics. A dedicated display that shows depth and current speed at a glance, so you can steer, trim, or adjust course without fumbling through multiple instruments.
• Flexible data sharing. Connect to your existing transducers or NMEA0183 sources for seamless integration with your boat’s electronics. It even supports intelligent transducers for tailored setups.
• Drop-in reliability for older systems. Designed to replace or augment Navman 3100 and Northstar 310 series panels, offering a familiar data presentation in a single modern unit.

Crystal clarity in any conditions

• Transflective monochrome LCD delivers high-contrast readings in bright sun and low-light conditions, with amber backlit keys that are easy to locate at night.
• Large, legible digits for at-a-glance readings: upper digits 32 mm high (speed) and lower digits 22 mm high (depth), plus clear trend indicators to judge movement over time.
• Stable performance in rough seas. 1–30 step display damping reduces jitter, so readings stay readable when the deck is heaving.

Rugged, marine-ready design

• IP66 front-face protection defends against spray, rain, and sea conditions, while an anti-fog coating maintains clarity when visibility matters most.
• Wide power and temperature range. Operates from 10 to 16.5 V and thrives between -10 and 50°C (storage: -20 to 60°C).
• Easy mounting. A rear locking collar and standard 48 mm drilling hole simplify installation on bulkheads or panels.

Smart data you can trust

• NMEA0183 compatibility. Ingests VHW, VTG, DPT, VLW, MTW, RMC, and DBT; and can output VHW, VLW, MTW, DPT—so data plays nicely with other devices in your cockpit.
• Alarms for safety. Built-in buzzer and external alarm output with configurable depth and speed alerts keep you aware of changing conditions without staring at the screen.

Real-world use cases

• Cruising: Keep depth and current speed in view while steering or adjusting sails, enabling timely decisions about route and trim without distraction.
• Racing: Monitor trends in depth and speed to anticipate changes in water conditions and optimize tack angles or course corrections on the fly.
• Upgrading older systems: If you’re transitioning from older Navman or Northstar panels, Multi S400 provides a familiar, dependable data presentation with modern connectivity.

Installation, compatibility, and future-ready design

• Standalone or integrated. Use as a self-contained display with compatible transducers, or tie into an NMEA0183 network for broader data sharing across your instruments.
• Powerful, scalable setup. The unit supports intelligent transducers for customized data reporting, giving you room to grow as your cockpit evolves.

Warranty and support you can rely on

The AdvanSea Multi S400 is backed by a 2-year warranty and global Plastimo support network, ensuring you have access to service and advice wherever your voyage takes you. This isn’t just a display—it’s a dependable cockpit companion built for daily use on real waters.
