DX900+ MultiLog Sensor for Racing and SailingIndustry’s First Bluetooth®-Enabled, Multifunctional SensorFeatures
• Dual axis, electromagnetic speed sensor
– Longitudinal and transverse speed sensors measure leeway speed and angle
– Competitive products only perform a calculation but do not truly measure leeway
– Real-time leeway feedback is essential for performance sailing: Understanding changes in leeway can mean the difference between winning and losing a race
• Fast response temperature sensor
• Integrated water depth
• Three-axis accelerometer and three-axis gyroscope
– Outputs heel and trim
AIRMAR®...IT’S WHAT’S UNDER YOUR BOAT.
Truly Measuring Leeway Delivers Unsurpassed Performance
DX900+ Benefits• Retrofitting is easy – retractable insert
fits most existing 51mm P617V Airmar thru-hull housings
• Measure reverse speed (which can be helpful for quick manuevers on motorboats)
• All-in-one housing; no moving parts
• Very low drag
App Features• Connect to your boat display as well
as your smart device (tablet, phone, etc.) via Bluetooth®
• Supports both iOS and Android platforms
• Displays all sensor features
• Performs speed calibration
• Provides diagnostic information for troubleshooting
• Offers interface to update firmware
• Easily configure update rate

Measuring Leeway You can see from the green spikes in the graph that the DX900+ (represented in green) is showing real, instantaneous speed, which sailors can use to determine which way to steer the boat in a competitive race. These spikes cannot be seen by the generic model data (represented in red).
