Airmar 220WX NMEA 0183 Weather Station - (No Relative Humidity) - RS232 - Heater

Heater for Commercial Fishing in Ice-prone Areas

• WeatherStation Instruments combine up to seven sensors, all with no moving parts, in one compact unit
• Wind readings are not affected by the common problems known in mechanical anemometers and weather measuring devices like bearing wear, salt and dirt build-up or bird perching, which can all result in failure or data inaccuracy
• Units are easy-to-install either permanently, or as a portable system. They can be installed on a standard pole with 1”-14 UNS or 3/4” NPT threads
• IPX6 waterproof rating (units with the relative humidity option added are IPX4 waterproof rated)
• Optional heater model available for colder climates under 1° C
• Operating voltage range of 12-24 VDC

Features

• Wind speed & direction
• 10 Hz GPS
• Solid state compass
• 3-axis accelerometer
• Ultrasonic wind readings
• Optional relative humidity
• Barometric pressure
• Air temperature
• Wind chill
• Optional heater

The WeatherStation Instrument comes with our intuitive WeatherCaster Software. Data can be viewed in both digital and analogue format and can be saved for a set period of time. The log time can be adjusted in intervals from 6 to 72 hours. Standard NMEA sentences and an RS232 interface allows for the flexibility of designing your own software program to fit your specific application. Our comprehensive technical manual makes the job easy!

RMS—Root Mean Square, LEN—Load Equivalency Number
*When the wind speed is less than 2 m/s (4.6 MPH) and/or air temperature is below 0°C (32°F),
wind, temperature, and relative humidity readings will be less accurate.
**Wet conditions include moisture, rain, frost, dew, snow, ice and/or sea spray in the wind channel.
***Temperature and relative humidity reports invalid during heater operation.
****Airmar has made the address claiming modifications to enable compatibility with the ISO 11783
communication protocol for the agriculture industry – that is based on the SAE J1939 protocol.
