Product Detail
The B&G WS320 Wireless Wind Sensor with Interface is a top - notch solution for cruising and club racing sailors. Model 000 - 14383 - 001. It offers easy installation with no cables in the mast. Its wireless performance is uncompromised, even outperforming most wired sensors. The sensor provides wind data all the time, thanks to its low - power, efficient design and smart power management. With high precision, it has been tested in over 500 individual wind tunnel tests. It's light - weight and easy to install on smaller boats (mast height up to 25m), and offers the same accuracy as the wired version, outputting smooth wind data 5 times per second. After over 200,000 hours of combined field tests, it meets high standards. Specifications include a weight of 0.32 kg, waterproof ratings of IPx6 and IPx7, solar power, and excellent wind speed and angle accuracy. The base station has its own set of specifications too. In the box, you'll find the sensor, receiver interface, a 1.82 m NMEA 2000 cable, and a Micro - C T - connector.
Using the B&G WS320 Wireless Wind Sensor is easy. First, install the sensor on your boat's mast. Make sure the mast height is up to 25m. There's no need to worry about cables in the mast, which makes installation a breeze. The sensor is solar - powered, so it will keep running with little effort from you. It constantly gives you wind data at a smooth rate of 5 times per second. For the base station, connect it using the provided Micro - C cable and power it with 9 - 16 V DC via the Micro - C network. When it comes to maintenance, since it's waterproof (IPx6 and IPx7), you don't have to worry too much about water damage. But still, it's a good idea to clean it occasionally with a soft cloth. Keep it in a temperature range of - 25°C to 65°C during operation. Also, note that the wireless connectivity range is up to 30m. If you have any issues, make sure to check the power supply and the wireless connection first.
