Product catalog summary
Introduction
The OMC-116M is a full metal ultrasonic wind sensor designed for marine meteorological observations. It is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions such as heavy vibrations, sea spray, and extreme temperatures.

Specifications
  • Material: Stainless steel and marine-grade aluminum.
  • Output: Standard NMEA0183, optional 4..20 mA outputs.
  • Heating: Integrated 240 Watts heater, operational down to –40°C.
  • Power Supply: 10 - 30 Vdc, with heating requiring 24Vdc and 250 watts capacity.
  • Mounting: Comes with a standard bracket and U-bolts for mast mounting.

Features
  • High accuracy and maintenance-free.
  • Wind Speed Range: 0 - 90 m/s, accuracy ±0.2 m/s or ±2% RMS.
  • Wind Direction Range: 0 - 359.9°, accuracy ±2° RMSE.
  • Moisture Protection: IP66, suitable for 10-99% humidity.

Installation and Configuration
The sensor is easy to install with an integrated junction box for signal and power connections. The heater can be enabled or disabled based on environmental needs.

Environmental Conditions
Operational temperature ranges from -20°C to +60°C, extendable to -40°C with heating. The sensor is designed to operate in high humidity environments.

Company Background
Observator, established in 1924, is a global supplier of meteorological sensors with offices in multiple countries, including Australia, Germany, and the UK.

OMC-116(M) Full metal Ultrasonic Wind sensor-1

Datasheet OMC-116(M) Full metal Ultrasonic Wind sensor Marine meteorological observations require devices designed to withstand the hardest environmental conditions such as heavy vibrations, sea spray, extremes of temperature, chemical particles etc. Observator has an exceptional track record in the world-wide supply of meteorological sensors to the marine and offshore markets. The OMC-116M is a ultrasonic wind sensor based on the time of flight theory designed specifically for the rigors of the marine markets. The unit offers the industrial standard NMEA0183 output and also offers optional 4..20 mA outputs. The robust design of stainless steel and marine grade aluminum makes this unit ideal for the hardest of environments. Heating is available as standard making the sensor suitable in operating temperatures down to -40°C. The standard mounting bracket with its integrated junction box makes this unit easy to install. Features • High accuracy maintenance free sensor • Range 0 - 75 m/s • Fitted with an integrated heater (240 Watts, controlled separately) • Power supply through display (OMC-140) possible • Supplied with calibration certificate • Easy to install • Integrated junction box • Standard NMEA0183 output, RS422 (baud rate user selectable) • Optional 4..20 mA outputs available • Ready for type approval The Observator range is in continuous development and so specifications may be subject to change without prior notice.

OMC-116(M) Full metal Ultrasonic Wind sensor-2

Dimensions OMC-116 (land version) General The OMC-116M Ultrasonic wind speed and direction sensor comes standard with an industrial mounting bracket provided with 2 U-bolts suitable for mast mounting (max 65 mm dia.). An integrated junction box allows easy connection of sensor signal and power supply using standard cabling. The internal heater should be powered separately if used. The sensor can be configured to enable or disable the heater. In applications where heating is not required (and hence disabled), the OMC-116 can be powered directly from an Obsermet display or data logger. In cases...
