The WS310 interface is an essential device designed to convert data signals from the NMEA 0183 protocol to the NMEA 2000 standard, allowing the integration of older sensors with modern navigation systems. This component acts as a communication bridge, ensuring that data from the WS310 and WS700 series sensors is transmitted correctly to compatible chartplotters and multifunction displays.
The unit features an NMEA 0183 input port that supports the MWV (wind) sentence at a baud rate of 38400, ensuring accurate data reception.
On the output side, the device connects to the NMEA 2000 network via a Micro-C port, facilitating integration into CAN bus networks.
The power consumption is efficient, with a typical consumption of less than 0.6W, which minimizes the load on the boat's electrical system. The supply voltage range is 12V DC (operating range 9 to 16V DC), ensuring stable operation under standard maritime conditions. The device is built to withstand harsh environments, with an IPX6 waterproof rating that protects against high-pressure water jets. The operating temperature ranges from 15°C to 55°C, while storage can withstand temperatures between -20°C and 60°C. The compact dimensions of 61 x 131 x 45 mm allow for a discreet and secure installation, with a compass safe distance of 300 mm. The lightweight design of 0.2 kg facilitates handling and mounting on any type of vessel. This product comes with a 2-year warranty, backing the reliability and quality of the B&G manufacturer.
