AIRMAR - WEATHER STATION 200WX - KNOW THE WEATHER The Airmar 200WX weather station is the best choice for mobile, land and marine weather monitoring applications . Packed with sensors, in a small, durable and robust IPX6-rated housing, the 200WX station can be used on mobile platforms such as boats, but also on land vehicles such as newsreels and military vehicles. Knowing theoretical wind speed and direction is important and often essential. The 200WX calculates theoretical wind speed and direction based on apparent wind, vessel speed and boat heading . Its internal 10 Hz GPS and three-axis electronic compass provide the heading, position, ground speed and ground heading functionalities required for theoretical wind data processing on a moving vehicle. The 3D compass with dynamic stabilization provided by the three-axis gyroscope enhances rate-of-turn data. The technical features of the 200WX Airmar weather station are numerous:
Ultrasonic measurement of apparent and theoretical wind speed and direction
Barometric pressure
Air and wind temperature
Relative humidity
Calculated dew point and heat index
GPS position, ground speed and ground heading
Three-axis solid-state compass with dynamic stabilization
Three-axis gyroscope provides rate-of-turn data
Three-axis accelerometer for best-in-class pitch and roll information
IPX6-rated housing for protection against water ingress
Data output via a single cable (various lengths available)
NMEA 0183/ASCII serial data protocol on RS-232 interface (NMEA 0183 cable sold separately)
NMEA 2000 protocol on CAN (cable included)
