The IS42 is a smart multi-purpose instrument featuring a
full colour display and modern glass helm styling. View wind, speed, depth,
engine data, autopilot status, AIS data and more at a glance, or add the
optional OP12 keypad to take full control of your Simrad autopilot system. The
IS42 integrates brilliantly with Simrad multifunction displays and glass helm
systems, or can function as a standalone instrument display and autopilot
controller aboard smaller vessels.

Optically bonded 4.1-inch colour display
The IS42 employs a full-colour display to deliver clear digital instruments
and intuitive on-screen menus. Designed for use in all conditions, the IS42s
LCD panel is optically bonded to its protective glass covering this eliminates
the possibility of condensation or fogging within the display. Transflective LCD
technology makes use of reflected sunlight to brighten rather than obscure the
displayed image, delivering superior daytime visibility and lower power
consumption compared to traditional backlit displays.
Multi-purpose digital instrument
The IS42 instrument can be configured to display multiple pages containing
information such as wind conditions, vessel speed, depth, and more. Engine
monitoring pages display important data such as RPM, engine temperature, trim
tab status, fuel flow and fuel economy for up to two NMEA 2000 connected
engines.
Advanced AIS functionality
When networked with a compatible AIS receiver, the IS42 offers a clear
graphical display of nearby AIS-equipped vessels. Watch for potential collision
hazards with customisable alarms, and receive AIS safety messages right on the
IS42 for the ultimate situational awareness. Connect a compatible DSC-capable
VHF radio, and the IS42 can also be used to initiate direct radio calls to AIS-equipped
vessels simplifying on-water communications and getting you connected quicker
and easier.
Intuitive operation
Quickly switch between the IS42s pages to access the information you need,
when you need it. A simple pushbutton interface with waterproof silicon keys
makes the IS42 easy to use in rough conditions, and reliably responsive to wet
or gloved hands.
Easy installation
The IS42 is simple to install with an easy front-mount option, requiring no
access to the back of the console or panel, and single-cable NMEA 2000
connectivity for both power and data. Its even easier to configure data pages
suited to your boat and activities, with a simple menu system and
auto-configuration for engine monitoring pages.
Autopilot control with OP12 keypad
Pair the Simrad IS42 display with an OP12 keypad to create a fully functional
control head for compatible Simrad autopilot systems. Leverage Simrad Continuum
autopilot technology to steer to a set course, maintain your heading against
wind and tide with No Drift steering, and fish or cruise easier with automated
turn patterns and depth contour tracking. The OP12 keypad matches the IS42s
glass bridge style, and can be mounted alongside the display or separately to
best match your preferred control scheme.
Low-profile glass helm design
Designed to complement Simrad glass helm displays such as the NSS evo2 and MO
series marine monitors, the IS42 features modern styling with a low
surface-mount profile of just eight millimetres. A compact footprint enables
mounting almost anywhere, while the IS42s large 4.1-inch display ensures
maximum visibility and ease of use.
Certified NMEA 2000 connectivity
The IS42 is compatible with a wide range of digital instruments, sensors,
engine monitoring interfaces, Simrad autopilot systems, and other NMEA 2000
data sources. With plug-and-play NMEA 2000 connectivity, you can use as many or
as few IS42 displays as needed to create your ideal digital instrument setup.
