Digital Yacht WindSense - Wi-Fi Wireless Wind System [ZDIGWS]

WindSense is an outstanding wireless wind system. It enables iPads, tablets, smartphones, and PCs to show accurate apparent wind speed and direction. This system comes with a high - quality, precision mast head sensor and a 20m cable. The cable connects to a below - decks interface unit that offers both Wi - Fi and NMEA 0183 wired connections. You can also connect existing NMEA - compatible sensors to the NMEA input, allowing the wireless network to share other on - board instrument data. It's compatible with a wide variety of iOS and Android apps. The built - in Wi - Fi can cover a GRP boat up to 30m. Key features include: a stand - alone or networkable wind system with a precision mast head unit; a wired connection using a super - thin cable from the mast head unit to the below - deck interface with wireless and wired options; ultra - tough Igildur™ mast head unit bearings for long life and corrosion resistance; a full range of apps for different devices; support for up to 7 Wi - Fi connected devices; NMEA 0183 output and input with multiplex facility for Wi - Fi connection; Wi - Fi that can be standalone or joined to an existing network; minimal power consumption; and an optional NMEA 2000 interface. Installation is a breeze with an ultra - thin mast head unit cable having a removable connector that plugs directly into the interface unit. Specifications: Instrument Function: Wind, Box Dimensions: 5'H x 17'W x 20'L, WT: 9.8 lbs, UPC: 081159830625. There's also a brochure (pdf) available.

Using the WindSense wind system is easy. First, install the mast head sensor on the mast and connect it to the below - decks interface unit using the provided 20m cable. The cable has a removable connector, so it's simple to plug it in. Once connected, turn on the system. Your iOS or Android devices, as well as PCs and Macs, can connect to the Wi - Fi network of the system. You can use the compatible apps to view the wind speed and direction data. You can have up to 7 devices connected at the same time. If you have other NMEA - compatible sensors on your boat, you can connect them to the NMEA input to share more instrument data. When it comes to maintenance, the mast head unit has ultra - tough Igildur™ bearings, which are resistant to corrosion and have a long lifespan. However, it's a good idea to check the cable regularly for any signs of wear and tear. Also, keep the interface unit in a dry place on the boat. And remember, the Wi - Fi can be set up as a standalone network or joined to your existing boat network, so choose the option that suits your needs best.
