Wind Sensors

Model Anémo-girouette standard / HR II (90-60-369), Aluwind HR II (PF000366), Carbowind HR II (PF000363)

Masthead anemometer/wind vane sensors measuring wind speed, angle and air temperature, including aluminum and long carbon-pole HR II versions.

Description

nke's masthead wind sensors measure wind speed, wind direction and air temperature, providing true wind (with a speed sensor), VMG and temperature on the Topline bus.

Key features

  • HR sensor: under 1° angle accuracy, under 1% speed linearity, measures below 2 knots
  • Wind speed range 0-60 knots (lab tested); 1° vane resolution
  • Aluwind HR II: same electronics on an aluminum pole, 300 g
  • Carbowind HR II: sensor over a meter above the masthead on a rigid carbon pole with a light carbon vane, 600 g
  • 10-16 V DC, 25 mA, IP67

Applications

Wind measurement for instrument and autopilot systems on cruising and racing sailboats.
