Wind Speed and Direction System
Wind Speed and Direction System
The Walker 2080 Mk2 is a wind speed and direction system utilizing the P293 Solid State Ultrasonic Sensor. This sensor offers high accuracy and reliability with no moving parts, ensuring durability and minimal maintenance.
System Components
The system includes the P293 sensor and the P249 wind speed and direction indicator. The P249 provides digital displays of wind speed and direction, with wind direction also shown on a simulated analogue display using 72 LEDs. For true wind systems, the P1066 True Wind Interface Unit can be integrated.
System Parameters
- Input Voltage: 24v DC, 40mA
- Wind Speed Measurement: Range 0–120 knots, Accuracy +/- 2% at 24 knots, Resolution 0.01 knots
- Wind Direction Measurement: Range 0°–359°, Accuracy +/- 3° at 40 knots, Resolution 0.1°
- Operating Temperature: Sensor -35°C to +70°C, Indicator 0°C to +55°C
- Storage Temperature: Sensor -40°C to +90°C
- Humidity: <5% to 100%
Specifications
The sensor converts wind data into serial digital data, interfacing with other ship systems via NMEA 0183/RS422. The sensor is mounted using a base flange and is sealed to IP65 standards. The indicator is housed in a standard DIN 43700 case and is type approved to EMC European Directive IEC 60945.
Additional Information
The system is designed for easy integration and use in maritime environments, with options for displaying units in knots, meters per second, and kilometers per hour. The front panel is splash-proof when installed correctly.

Catalog excerpts
Direction System The Walker 2080 MK2 uses a Solid State Ultrasonic Wind Speed & Vane Direction Sensor, the P293. This gives high accuracy in a robust compact package... with no moving parts to wear out! The Sensor connects directly to a standard Walker DIN 144 wind speed & direction indicator, the P249, which gives digital displays of relative wind speed & direction. Wind direction is also displayed on a simulated analogue display by 72 LEDs. True wind systems are available by using this sensor with the Walker P1 066 True Wind Interface Unit.
