STANDARD WIND UNIT
The wind sensor measures the wind angle through 360°.
It is easy to install on the mast headand an offset value can be applied to adjust the alignment to the boats centreline. This offset is usually required as the mechanical alignment achieved during installation is not accurate enough. The wind angle value is dependent on getting the alignment correct first.
HR WIND UNIT
The wind sensor “HR” is highly accurate for both angle and speed measurements: less than 1° for wind angle and less than 1% for wind speed linearity. It measures wind angle through360° and its sensitivity allows wind speed measurement below 2 knots.
It is easy to install on the mast head. An offset value adjusts the alignment to the boats centreline. This offset is usually required as the mechanical alignment achieved during installation is not accurate enough.The wind angle value is dependent on getting the alignment correct first.
This sensor is available with a long vertical arm (see Carbowind).
FEATURES
The wind sensor measures data used to determine:
True wind angle and speed (when a speedometer is connected to the system) in knots or meters per second,
Air temperature in °Cor °F,
VMG (Velocity Made Good)
