A+T Instruments design and manufacture the toughest, biggest and brightest full colour marine instrument displays.

The only one that will stand this:

Large colour instrument displays are becoming increasingly popular on yachts and the 'big beast' of these is the A+T BFD (Big Format Display). Like all A+T displays, the engineering quality is paramount, and the BFD shown below has been operating continuously in this water tank for over a year.

The footprint is the same as a 40/40 so can be fitted onto an existing mast bracket, while the digits are up to 50% larger. The BFD has a 12" screen and is available in landscape and portrait, can be seen with polarised glasses at any angle. Operating temperature is up to 70 deg C, important in the Med and Caribbean.

Until now, the good number of the BFDs supplied have run over Ethernet on A+T's own advanced ATP1 processor. Now A+T are offering both Fastnet and CANbus (N2K compatible) versions for legacy systems.

Price is GBP 4,945 exc VAT and stock is held for immediate delivery.
