Airmar TRIDUCER multisensors incorporate a revolutionary self-closing valve to minimize water flow into the boat when the paddlewheel insert is removed. “Gushers” are eliminated with this simple to maintain valve.
Fins provide on either side of the paddlewheel for more accurate speed measurement in cross-flow conditions.
Combined with our fairing, installation is made simple. Made of urethane, the fairing will never swell or rot, and the unique cutting guide allows safer, more accurate cutting with a band saw. High speed fairings are provided with a corrosion resistant bolt to secure the fairing and prevent rotation.

The Latest Evolution in TRIDUCER
Multisensor Technology
Self-closing valve...checks water flow when paddlewheel insert is removed New B744V and long stem B744VL offer flush mounting in streamlined fairings
and accommodate ceramics up to 44 mm (1.75") in diameter including the popular 50/200 kHz model
SS544 includes a streamlined fairing and is designed specifically for isolated mounting to steel and aluminum hulls. It accommodates ceramics up to 44 mm (1.75") in diameter
New streamlined fairings for B744V, B744VL, and SS544V provide much improved echosounding at speeds above 20 knots and greatly reduce drag
Versatile B66V and long stem B66VL mounts frequencies varying from 50 kHz to 200 kHz including dual beam 120 kHz and dual element 50 kHz & 200 kHz
Optional paddlewheel-less speed/temperature sensor uses echo correlation technology

Single Connector/
Dual Connector Systems
The piezoceramic element, speed, and temperature circuitry are all within the bronze housing. The removable paddlewheel insert contains no circuitry. The magnetic field sensor to measure speed is mounted in the housing in close proximity to the rotating paddlewheel. A single connector system is generally used when depth, speed, and temperature will be processed in a single instrument or when two instruments are within 1m (40") of each other. When depth and speed/temperature functions will be processed in separate instruments, our cable can be split and two connectors can be applied.
All signals are transmitted via a multi-conductor cable with a high quality thermoplastic rubber jacket for improved resistance to cutting, pinching, and degradation from petroleum distillates. C144 cable is used in single element TRIDUCER multisensors. Dual element multisensors use C145 cable.

Speed
The TRIDUCER multisensor provides accurate speed measurement over the widest boat speed range of any thru-hull paddlewheel transducer.
The combination of a hydrodynamic paddlewheel and paddlewheel cavity, housing and fairing projection through the boundary layer and fins on either side of the paddlewheel gives an unmatched linearity.

Temperature
Various temperature sensing devices can be incorporated in the housing including thermistor and semiconductor types. See the “Temperature” section for more detailed information including thermal time constants.
Shielding
Inside the TRIDUCER multisensor housing, shielding is used to eliminate interference between the speed and depth sensors. A shielded cable and separately shielded speed and temperature conductors are used to prevent mutual interference. The bronze housing also functions as a shield. Refer to wiring diagram beginning on p 35 for shielding details.
