Veratron VDO NMEA 2000 Wind Sensor - A2C59501984
Item: #886867 | Part Number: A2C59501984
The Veratron VDO NMEA 2000 Wind Sensor A2C59501984 delivers highly accurate wind speed and angle data for serious sailors. Using a contactless inductive wind vane and hall-effect impeller, it provides reliable apparent wind readings that can be converted to true wind with compatible systems. NMEA 2000 certified and designed for mast-top or lateral mounting, it's a dependable choice for modern marine instrumentation.
Veratron VDO NMEA 2000 Wind Sensor - A2C59501984 Item # 886867
Description
VDO NMEA2000 Wind Sensor is one of the most accurate wind sensors. It was developed to support all kinds of sailors, showing wind speed and wind angle data. The sensor sends apparent wind data signals. These can be easily recalculated by AcquaLink system or compatible systems (boat speed data has to be present), so that the user can decide to sail using Apparent or True information. Installation bracket permits different methods: Top mast and Lateral mast installation (for higher detail please refer to installation instruction manual). The legacy wind vane turns in the direction of the wind and steers the wind direction gauge. The wind cups record the relative wind speed, which in turn, is displayed on the wind speed gauge. This unit is NMEA2000 CERTIFIED and is only compatible with other NMEA2000 CERTIFIED instruments.
