Observator OMC116 Ultrasonic Windsensor | NMEA Windmeter for Wind Speed and Direction
The Observator OMC116 Ultrasonic Windsensor is the ultimate, maintenance-free solution for accurately measuring wind speed and direction in both maritime and land applications. Thanks to the advanced ultrasonic measurement technology, this model has no moving parts. This eliminates wear and the need for periodic maintenance, resulting in unmatched reliability and lifespan under the harshest weather conditions.
Features and Integrated Specifications
This professional wind sensor from Observator provides extremely precise wind data that is essential for navigation, environmental research, and meteorological systems. All specifications are directly integrated into the sensor to ensure fast and reliable data:
- Wind Speed Range: The OMC116 accurately measures wind speeds from a minimum of 0.1 meters per second (m/s) to a maximum of 40 m/s. This wide range makes the sensor suitable for almost all weather scenarios.
- Wind Speed Accuracy: The accuracy of the speed measurement is plus or minus 0.1 m/s or 1%, making the sensor ideal for critical applications where minimal deviation is required.
- Wind Direction Measurement: The sensor offers a full 360-degree wind direction measurement, with a range of 0 to 359 degrees.
- Wind Direction Accuracy: The directional accuracy is exceptionally high with a deviation of only plus or minus 1 degree.
- Output Protocol: For easy integration with existing systems, the OMC116 is equipped with a NMEA 0183 data output. The sensor transmits data as a standardized MWV sentence (Wind Speed and Angle), compatible with most navigation and data logger systems.
- Power Supply Voltage: The sensor operates on a standard supply of 12 to 24 Volts DC, making it flexible for use in various locations.
- Robust Construction: The housing is designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, from intense heat to icy climates.
The Observator OMC116 is the standard for professional wind measurement, where durability, precision, and a maintenance-free design come together in a compact unit.
