About this product
Veratron NMEA 2000 Wind Sensor - Short Arm is a masthead wind instrument designed to provide responsive apparent wind angle and speed data for sailing and navigation systems. The shared mechanical sensor uses contactless measurement to reduce friction and wear at the masthead.
Key features
- Measures wind speed and direction
- 725 mm short-arm masthead format
- Contactless sensing for low mechanical friction
- Factory-calibrated sensor
- Direct NMEA 2000 digital output
- NMEA 2000 certified interface
Integration and functionality
The NMEA 2000 version publishes wind data directly onto the vessel backbone. Correct damping/offset and mast alignment should be commissioned in the receiving system.
Installation
Mount at the masthead in clean airflow, aligned to the vessel centerline and away from obstructions. Route the cable with strain relief and protect connectors from mechanical load during mast service.
Electrical and environmental
The NMEA 2000 version is powered from the network and draws approximately 30 mA.
