Wind measuring system

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Wind Measuring System Type 879 is designed for accurate measurement of wind velocity and direction on ships, particularly under harsh weather conditions. It is CE classified for various environments and allows for multiple read-out locations on board.

Key Features:

Robust, seawater-proof construction.
Accurate read-out of wind direction and speed.
Optional NMEA data-output for integration with navigation systems.
Supports 1 to 3 instruments per sensor.

Components:

Anemometer Sensor Type 879.3C: Features a 3-cup rotor for velocity and a vane for direction measurement. It should ideally be placed at the top of a mast to avoid interference from ship structures.
Instrument Types 879.50 and 879.521: Digital display instruments with no moving parts, featuring a circle of LEDs for wind direction and a display for velocity. They allow for unit selection between m/s and knots.

Technical Specifications:

Anemometer Sensor: Operates at 5.5V with a temperature range of -40 to +80°C. It is constructed from seawater-proof materials and offers IP66 protection.
Velocity Measurement: Range of 0.35 to 80 m/s with a resolution of 0.11 m/s and linearity of ±0.5 m/s up to 10 m/s.
Direction Measurement: Continuous 0 to 360° range with 8-bit resolution and ±3° accuracy.
Instrument Power Supply: 110 or 220V AC, 50-60Hz with a power consumption of 6W.

Installation and Mounting: The sensor is mounted on a tap for easy demounting and proper ventilation. The installation cable should not exceed 300 meters in length.

Additional Information: For further details, refer to the user manual, document no. 1159040004.

Application Wind measuring system 879 is a fast responding and accurate system, which is designed for measurement of wind velocity and wind direction on board ships, where the demands for reliability - especially under rough weather conditions are high. Wind measuring system 879 is CE classified for residential, commercial and light industry plus industrial environment. This system offers the advantage of reading the measuring results at several places on board, e.g. at control desks both on the bridge and on the bridge wings. The indicating instruments may be provided with data output for serial...
