Independant small numerical depth-only display - off FCV 1200L

[Michael]

Hi All

Just wondering if such a display exists, for separate readout of numerical depth - coming off a Furuno IF-8000 interface unit, with the actual depth generated
out of a FCV 1200L fishfinder sounder. So the interface unit sends the video signal to a large screen - but as a back-up I would like the interface unit to also send the numerical depth to another small display.

Any advice appreciated.

Because you are seeking something to display depth that accepts 0183, I would recommend the GP1871F or GP1971F. It can act as a large data display. The FI-70 is nice data display but it is NMEA 2000 and would require that you get a converter as a bridge.

Johnny, Thanks for the response.
Actually, that is what I am deperately trying to avoid - a large data display ;
I am trying also to avoid a converter in case it fails and that is exactly what has happened on my bridge. I am looking for just a small instrument display, stand-alone that only displays numerical depth data and is always-on. This will secondarily give options when you need to manage the light levels on the bridge with all sorts of large data displays throwing off too much light.
Something small - 2 inches by 2 inches, always on, black lettering numerals 1.5 inches high with red dimmable backlighting, or blue - this is what I'm hoping for. Would like to know if Furuno can offer something like this that I can plug into the IF-8000 interface unit. Appreciate your feedback.
Already have big data screens - too many.

The RD33 is small and accepts 0183 but it all depends on the data you are wanting to show. You might look at it.

Ok, thanks ... will it display depth in numerical form only - thats the data I wish to display.
