Vetus Wind Direction/Speed Indicator

This sensor may be connected to any type of wind instrument with a NMEA 0183 input.

The instrument givesdigital read-out of wind speed and both digital analogue indication of wind direction

The wind speed indication can be displayed in metres/second, knots or Beaufort scale

Can display apparent or true(*) wind speed and wind direction

Adjustable damping of wind speed and wind direction

Maximum wind speed experienced is retained in memory

Analogue wind direction can be set to show magnified close hauled reading 20º to 50º

Adjustable acoustic wind speed alarm

Velocity Made Good (VMG*)

Provided with adjustable scale illumination

Instrument dimensions: 110 x 110 x 57mm (height)

Built-in depth: 32mm

The pane of the read-out instrument is covered with a scratch-free coating

A WIND SENSOR WITHOUT MOVING PARTS

This unique wind sensor measures both the wind spedd and wind direction with the aid of one single chip. Operation is based on the priciple that a warm surface will cool down whenever there is a current of air around it. The more wind there is, the greater will be the cooling down effect

Current consumption: 12 Volt - 140 mA (scale illumination 20 mA), 24 Volt - 80 mA (scale illumination 40 mA)

Current supply is also possible via a mains voltage adaptor
