Your Guide to Accurate Weather Monitoring

Уводзіны

The Furuno 200WX Ultrasonic Weather Station is an advanced, all-in-one sensor designed to provide essential weather readings with high precision and accuracy. It detects instantaneous changes in weather conditions and operates continuously, even in adverse environments. This station measures apparent and true wind speed and direction, air temperature, and wind chill temperature. It also integrates a 3-Axis solid-state compass and a 3-Axis Rate Gyro for superior compass and pitch/roll accuracy. The 200WX supports both CanBUS/NMEA2000 and NMEA 0183 connectivity, allowing direct connection to compatible marine navigation systems like NavNet TZtouch/NavNet 3D DRS Radar sensors. Power is supplied via the NMEA 2000 bus, facilitating flexible installation. Its UV-stabilized, compact, and fully waterproof housing is resistant to chemicals and sunlight, ensuring durability.
