The Walker 2050 Mk2 wind system is a reliable tool for monitoring wind speed and direction on marine vessels. It includes the P296 sensor, which combines anemometer and vane functions to measure both wind speed and direction accurately. The sensor mounts easily, making it ideal for marine use.
The Walker P249 indicator shows real-time digital data on wind speed. You can view speed in knots, meters per second, or kilometers per hour. Additionally, the display includes a simulated analog readout with LED lights for wind direction. This clear display helps crew members understand wind conditions at a glance.
The Walker 2050 Mk2 system connects seamlessly with other ship systems through its NMEA 0183/RS422 output. This compatibility makes it easy to integrate into existing navigation setups. Moreover, for more precise data, users can upgrade to True Wind readings by adding the Walker P1066 interface.
Built to withstand marine conditions, the sensor is sealed to IP65 standards, offering protection from dust and water. It can operate in temperatures ranging from -35°C to +70°C, which makes it suitable for harsh environments.
The system measures wind speeds up to 100 knots with high accuracy. Approved under IEC standards (IEC 60945, IEC 61162-2, and IEC 62288), it meets rigorous marine requirements. This dependable tool supports safer navigation, helping mariners prepare for weather changes and maintain control.
