Clipper Wireless Wind System Complete w/Display [CL-WWS]

Upgrade your boating experience with the Clipper Wireless Wind System! This all - in - one solution includes a wireless masthead and a data box. The masthead transmitter is completely wireless. It's powered by a base unit that runs on your vessel's 12V supply. The base unit receives wind speed and direction data from the masthead and sends it to any compatible NMEA display. The masthead transmitter only needs occasional bright daylight on its solar panel to recharge its internal battery. Once fully charged, it can operate for 2000 hours without further solar charging. Installing this system is a breeze. There are no wires to run down the mast, and you can easily align the masthead through the base unit. It's also incredibly lightweight, weighing just 190 grams. The system offers long sleep and operating times. It has a sleep time of over 15,000 hours and an operating time of over 2,000 hours when fully charged. It takes less than 150 hours of bright daylight to charge. The system uses NMEA 0183 at 4800 Baud, with an output level from 0 to 12 volts and a 220 - ohm source resistance. The NMEA data sentence is MWV, and it operates on a supply voltage of 6 to 16 volts (nominal 12 volts) with a supply current of 17mA and a 1 - Amp fuse. The display shows wind speed and direction data on any compatible NMEA device. It comes in an industry - standard 110mm square case with a large, clear display having 60 segments for full 360 - degree direction indication. The display unit runs on a nominal 12V DC, accepts the NMEA 0183 input sentence MWV, has 9 levels of backlighting, and has a case size of 110 x 110mm, with a 30mm depth behind the panel. It consumes 10mA + (max 10mA for display illumination). This product cannot be returned to the point of purchase. Contact the manufacturer for any issues. It has a square shape, a wind - measuring function, a box size of 6'H x 11'W x 21'L, and weighs 3.85 lbs. The UPC is 799439091818. An owner's manual (pdf) is included.

Using the Clipper Wireless Wind System is easy. First, install the base unit on your vessel and connect it to the 12V power supply. Then, mount the masthead transmitter on the mast. The system will start working automatically, sending wind speed and direction data to your compatible NMEA display. When it comes to charging, just make sure the masthead transmitter gets some bright daylight on its solar panel from time to time. It can run for a long time on a single charge, but if it runs out of power, a bit of sunlight will top it up. For the display unit, connect it to the base unit according to the NMEA 0183 standard. You can adjust the backlighting level to suit your needs. Remember, this product can't be returned to the place where you bought it. If you have any problems, like the system not working properly or the display showing incorrect data, contact the manufacturer directly. To maintain the system, keep the masthead transmitter clean from dirt and debris. Check the connections of the base unit and the display unit regularly to make sure they are secure. That's all you need to know to enjoy smooth sailing with accurate wind data!
