It offers high accuracy for top-notch instrument and autopilot performance. Its high-performance aerodynamic design comes from over 500 individual wind tunnel tests. It has wide compatibility, with direct NMEA 0183 output or connection via interface to a NMEA 2000® network. Installation is straightforward with a single cable and cable runs up to 80m. This is part of a new range of high-precision B&G wind sensors for cruising and club racing sailors. It's an evolution of B&G’s previous sensors, developed through extensive iterative testing. The WS300 series is designed to provide highly accurate wind data in all sailing conditions. It's been benchmarked against multiple sensors in over 500 individual wind tunnel tests. Specifications include waterproof ratings of IPx6 & IPx7, an operating temperature from -25°C to 65°C, power usage of 15 mA at 12 V DC, and more. What's in the box: WS310 Wired Wind Sensor, WS310 Wired Interface Only, and WS300/700 20M (65') CABLE.
Using the B&G WS310 wind sensor is easy. First, install it on your mast using the single cable provided. You can connect it directly to your instruments for NMEA 0183 output or use the interface to connect to a NMEA 2000® network. When using it, remember that it works best in the operating temperature range of -25°C to 65°C. Don't expose it to temperatures outside this range for long periods. For maintenance, since it's waterproof with IPx6 & IPx7 ratings, you can clean it with a damp cloth. But make sure to dry it thoroughly. Check the cable regularly for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, replace the cable to ensure accurate wind data. Enjoy smooth sailing with the reliable wind data from your B&G WS310.
