The wireless wind sensor WindSense system features an ultra tough Wind Transducer with Igildur bearings for exceptional life and corrosion resistance. Data transmission is via a super-thin 65 ft digital cable. consequently, providing fast update NMEA0183 ($MWV) data to the below deck wireless interface.

Wind data is then wirelessly streamed to any compatible App or Navigation software package. This enables display of Apparent, True*, Close Haul or Running data on an iOS, Android, Mac or Windows device. Up to 7 mobile devices can receive the same data, so crew and family members can also see exactly what the wind is doing.

The Wireless interface box has a configurable NMEA0183 input/output (4800/38400 baud). Therefore, GPS, Instrument or AIS data can be multiplexed (combined) with the WindSense data and streamed to the mobile devices/apps.

*True Wind readings require boat speed (SOG or STW) data to be available.

The WindSense system provides a low cost replacement or addition to any marine electronics system. It offers significantly enhanced accuracy, reliability and functionality with easy interfacing enabling a tablet to become a complete instrument display with other connected sensors. There are many vessels who require wind data too but only equipped with a speed and depth system . Likewise, many older wind systems require replacement but customers do not want the substantial cost of a totally new instrument package. Depending upon the app utilised, true wind information, VMG and other sailing performance parameters like polars may also be displayed.

WindSense - Wi-Fi Wireless Wind System

WindSense is a wireless wind system designed to allow iPads, tablets, SmartPhones and PCs to display accurate apparent wind speed and direction. It features a high quality, precision mast head sensor with 20m cable that connects to a below decks interface unit providing a wifi and NMEA 0183 wired connection. Existing NMEA compatible sensors can also be connected to the NMEA input to allow the wireless network to share other available on board instrument data. It's compatible with a wide range of apps for iOS and android. The built in wifi will typically footprint a GRP boat up to 30m.

Features:

• Stand alone or networkable (via NMEA 0183) wind system with precision mast head unit
  
• Wired connection with super-thin cable from MHU to below deck interface with wireless WiFi and wired NMEA connections
  
• Ultra tough Igildur™ mast head unit bearings for exceptional life and corrosion resistance
  
• Full range of apps for iOS & Android plus compatible with multiple PC and MAC apps
  
• Support for up to 7 Wi-Fi connected devices - use multiple smart phones, iPads or tablets as a display at the helm, chart table or on deck
  NMEA 0183 output
  
• NMEA 0183 (4800 or 38400 baud) input with multiplex facility for WiFi connection
  
• Wi-Fi can be standalone or joined to existing network
  
• Minimal power consumption
  
• Optional NMEA 2000 interface

Installation is easy with an ultra thin mash head unit cable with removable connector which plugs directly into the interface unit.

Wind Sense-Wi-Fi wireless wind system Wind Sense is a wireless wind system designed to enable i Pads, tablets, smartphones and PCs to display accurate apparent wind speed and direction. It has a high-quality, precision mast head sensor with a 20m cable, which is connected to the lower deck interface unit to provide wifi and Nmea 0183 wired connection. Existing Nmea compatible sensors can also be connected to the Nmea input to allow wireless networks to share other available data on the ship’s instruments. It is compatible with various applications for i OS and android. The built-in wifi usually occupies a 30m fiberglass boat.
