The Simrad WS80 Wind Sensor is designed to provide accurate and reliable wind data in demanding marine environments. This device transmits wind data in NMEA 0183 format, a standard widely used in the marine industry for communication between instruments.
The connection is made via an RS485 (or RS422) data interface, ensuring robust and interference-free signal transmission. The simplicity of its data interface facilitates integration with a wide range of compatible plotters and remote control systems.
The sensor is ideal for integration into navigation and autopilot systems, allowing the sailor to adjust sails or the helm in real time. By installing the WS80, users gain a continuous and accurate wind data source, essential for optimizing sailing navigation.
Its construction is designed to withstand the harshest sea conditions. The sensor features an IP66 protection rating, meaning it is completely dust-tight and resistant to powerful water jets, ensuring a long service life without constant maintenance.
