BEST-IN-CLASS POWER

The Hull Shield® HDi Series is in a league of it’s own, boasting up to 4X the focused ultrasonic power compared to competing products. Other entry-level ultrasonic products provide limited pulse-power, with most all restricted to maximum sustained pulses of 30W or less. With Hull Shield’s HDi technology, each transducer can provide a generous 60W focused pulse-power. With INTELIBOOST™ configured, the output can be extended up to 120W of synchronized pulse-power.

THE POWER ADVANTAGE

Aggressive fouling requires an equally aggressive deturent. Hull Shield HDi technology delivers the performance you need to fight back. HDi hardware was engineered fto exceed everything that came before it, delivering the most robust and efficient power delivery available. With HDi, you can be confident that your antifouling protection is effective.

TRANSDUCER SYNCHRONIZATION

With Hull Shield’s HDi technology, each transducer can provide a generous 60W focused pulse-power – this is double the power over all other products in this class. However, special circumstances may require attention. With Hull Shield INTELIBOOST™, multiple transducers can be synchronized to effectively double the focused ultrasound energy. With INTELIBOOST™ configured, the output can be extended up to 120W of synchronized pulse-power.

CUSTOMIZABLE TUNING

Whether your HDi is installed on fiberglass, aluminum, steel, hulls, or drives, you can be confident that you’re receiving the absolute best ultrasonic antifouling protection available with an INTELITUNE™ equipped system. Hull Shield’s INTELITUNE™ technology let’s you select the a frequency profile tuned to your specific needs. Convenient presets can be easily set in the app and independently set for individual transducers. With INTELITUNE™, you’ll have access to fine-grained control and can specifically target or omit frequencies depending on the need.

Access your HDi hardware with a direct connection from your phone – no internet required. A direct connection can be made to the device through Bluetooth or WiFi.

You’re never too far away. Maintain complete control of your HDi system from anywhere. Access all settings, controls, diagnostics, and reports.

Engineered for a lifetime. HDi systems are designed for easy care and maintenance – modular architecture ensures any adverse damage will not interfere with system operation and is easily replaced.

Looking for that perfect setting and need to track your changes? HDi provides a complete diagnostic history of runtime, power consumption, events, changes, alerts, and more.

Adverse conditions in your boat’s electrical system can cause electronics to freeze-up. Don’t worry, your HDi can detect power supply issues and take corrective action.

Dedicated LED indicators for each transducer provide visual feedback of the status of your system – no app, no guessing, no problem.

Each HDi controller is equipped with an internal speaker that can immediately alert you in the case of a power supply issue or fault.

Whether Lead-acid, AGM, Lithium-ion, or LiFePO4, rest easy knowing that your HDi system will provide the right power profiles and conditioning for your specific battery chemistry.

Unlike other electronic devices on your boat, Hull Shield HDi systems actively monitor battery type and voltages, actively implementing procedures to preserve and protect the health of your battery.

Your HDi system will modify and adapt its power consumption based on changing conditions. If your battery levels are depleting, the circuitry will automatically adapt to conserve power and battery health.

HDi systems are protected from reversed power and grounding situations occurring in your battery system or during installation.

Accidents happen. If a wire is damaged or severed, your HDi system will detect, isolate, and promptly alert you of the issue.

Active fault protection can seamlessly detect and isolate faults while mitigating downtime caused by adverse conditions.

HDi transducers are completely submersible, waterproof, and 100% galvanically isolated.

Every boat is a wet environment. Feel secure in knowing that your HDi controller is protected against water intrusion.

Your investment is always protected. Individual internally fused modular components ensure complete circuit protection and redundant operation.

Power systems in boats can be noisy and damaging to sensitive electronics. HDi systems integrate a robust power-filtering to ensure long-term and reliable operation.

In the world of ultrasonic antifouling, digital current control results in efficiency and fine-control. Hull Shield pioneered this technology, establishing it as an industry standard. Proprietary architecture provides precision control and extended product lifespan.

Each ultrasonic pulse is digitally controlled to reduce transducer stress, ensuring silent operation and transducer longevity.

Whether installing a new system or moving it to a different vessel, the HDi system outshines the competition by providing the simplest, fastest, and most secure connections possible.

Hull Shield HDi2 Intelligent Ultrasonic Antifouling System
Choosing Your HDi System

It’s not complicated – we make it easy to select the perfect fit for your vessel. The HDi Series features a wide selection of systems which makes it easy to get exactly what you need. Your needs will be based on boat length and drive-type. The hull and running gear must be protected separately as they are acoustically isolated from each other by gaskets and seals which absorb ultrasound.

Use the chart below to discover which system you need. The chart is arranged by hull-type, hull length, and drive-type.

Running Gear Protection

The Hull Shield® HDi Series is in a league of it’s own, boasting up to 4X the focused ultrasonic power compared to competing products. Other entry-level ultrasonic products provide limited pulse-power, with most all restricted to maximum sustained pulses of 30W or less. With Hull Shield’s HDi technology, each transducer can provide a generous 60W focused pulse-power. With INTELIBOOST™ configured, the output can be extended up to 120W of synchronized pulse-power.

Running Gear Protection

Each drive-type has a unique requirement. Drive types having rudders require 2 transducers – one for the drive/prop and one for the rudder. All other drives require only one transducer per drive.

Use the chart below to discover which system you need. The chart is arranged by hull-type, hull length, and drive-type.

HDi Installation

Installation is simple and can be accomplished in a single day. No special tools are required, no hull-drilling, and the vessel does not need to be removed from the water. Transducers are attached with the supplied epoxy and connect to the central controller which is powered by your existing battery system – that’s it! Hull transducers are placed in the bilge, to the interior hull surface. For straight-shaft engines, transducers are attached to the the transmission motor mount. For pods and sail-drives, transducers are attached to the gear box. For stern-drives, transducers are attached to the inner-transom-bracket. On jet-drives, transducers are attached to the intake manifold.

Install Transducers

Transducers are installed with an expoxy adhesive that is supplied with your HDi system.

Route Signal Cable

Each transducer is connected to the controller with the supplied signal cable.

Install the Controller

The HDi controller is powered by your boat’s existing battery system. Simply connect to an available power source.
