The Ben Marine Speedlog Anthea 48.1.RVB.32 is a high-performance, fully-integrated speed measurement system designed for commercial and serious recreational vessels. Combining a sleek, intuitive Display and Control Unit with a robust, retractable sensor, this system delivers unparalleled accuracy in measuring speed through the water (STW), log (distance traveled), and vital trip data.
Engineered for reliability and ease of use, the Anthea system is the trusted choice for navigators who demand precise data for efficient voyage planning, fuel optimization, and safe piloting.
Key Features & Benefits
-
High-Precision Retractable Sensor:
-
Retractable Design: Allows for easy deployment and, crucially, safe retraction for hull inspection, maintenance, and protection from damage during docking or in debris-filled waters.
-
Robust Construction: Built from durable, corrosion-resistant materials to withstand harsh marine environments.
-
Paddlewheel Transducer: Provides highly accurate speed-through-water data by measuring water flow directly at the hull.
-
-
Advanced Display and Control Unit (48.1.RVB.32):
-
Crystal-Clear Display: Features a high-contrast, easy-to-read screen that is perfectly visible in all lighting conditions, from bright sunlight to night operation.
-
Intuitive User Interface: Simple button controls allow for effortless navigation through menus, data reset, and system configuration.
-
Multi-Function Data Presentation: Simultaneously displays key metrics including:
-
Speed Through Water (STW) in knots
-
Trip Log (distance for current journey)
-
Total Log (lifetime distance)
-
-
Built-In Alarms: User-set speed alarms to monitor under-speed or over-speed conditions.
-
-
Superior System Integration:
-
NMEA 0183 Output: The unit seamlessly interfaces with other onboard navigation systems, such as chart plotters, radar, and autopilots, providing critical speed data for enhanced performance and safety.
-
Self-Diagnostic Function: The system continuously monitors its own status, alerting the user to any potential issues or required maintenance.
