Equip your powerboat with cutting-edge marine weather technology that delivers precise wind data without the hassle of mechanical components. This ultrasonic wind sensor stands out by combining solid-state wind measurement with essential environmental readings, all in a compact, rugged design built to withstand harsh marine conditions. Perfect for boaters who prioritize accuracy and simplicity, it provides real-time insights into wind speed, direction, air temperature, and barometric pressure—helping you make informed decisions on the water.
Unlike traditional anemometers with spinning cups or vanes that wear out over time, this sensor uses advanced ultrasonic transducers to detect wind flow. Sound waves travel between pairs of transducers, and the time-of-flight differences calculate both speed and direction with exceptional precision. This no-moving-parts approach ensures long-term reliability, even in salty, windy environments where mechanical failure is common. You'll get both apparent wind readings tailored for stationary setups, making it ideal for docks, marinas, or anchored vessels.
The integrated sensors also track air temperature for wind chill calculations and barometric pressure to anticipate weather shifts, giving you a complete picture without multiple devices cluttering your setup.
Setting up wind monitoring has never been simpler. The included 6-meter cable plugs directly into your NMEA2000 backbone using standard Micro-C connectors—no custom wiring required. Compatible with popular marine electronics from brands like Simrad, Lowrance, and B&G, it broadcasts data via standard PGNs, instantly populating your multifunction display with wind overlays, weather trends, and alerts.
Boaters appreciate the plug-and-play nature: mount it on a pole or rail, connect the cable, and start receiving data. Its low-profile design minimizes wind shadow effects, ensuring readings reflect true conditions around your boat.
In the world of marine navigation, knowing the wind is crucial for safe anchoring, sail trimming (even on powerboats for planning), or simply enjoying time on the water. This sensor excels where space is limited and reliability matters most—think coastal cruising, fishing charters, or liveaboards. Its solid-state construction outlasts mechanical alternatives, reducing maintenance and downtime. Plus, the affordability makes professional-grade weather data accessible without breaking the bank.
Real-world users report pinpoint accuracy during sudden gusts or pressure drops, helping avoid surprises like building storms. Whether you're monitoring from the helm or remotely via networked apps, it empowers confident boating every trip.
Ultrasonic sensors have no moving parts, so they resist corrosion, icing, and wear from constant exposure to salt air and waves. This leads to higher uptime and accuracy compared to cup or vane styles.
For stationary applications, it provides apparent wind speed and direction, which is ideal for moored or docked boats. No boat speed input is needed, keeping setup simple.
Yes, it uses standard NMEA2000 PGNs and Micro-C connectors, working seamlessly with Simrad, Lowrance, Garmin, and other NMEA2000 networks.
It carries an IPX6 rating, meaning it handles powerful water jets and heavy seas without issue, perfect for marine environments.
Relative humidity is available via a removable, field-serviceable module (IPX4 rated with it installed), and a heater option prevents icing in cold climates.
It comes with a 6-meter cable standard. For longer runs, use NMEA2000 extension cables or drop cables to reach your backbone.
Simrad 120WX Weather Sensor Measures Wind Speed and Direction, Temperature, and Barometric Pressure Reliability and superior accuracy, along with no moving parts and plug and play installation, makes the 120WX an easy and affordable choice for any weather solution. The Airmar WX Weather Station instruments are unique, as they are the only weather monitoring system to offer true and apparent wind speed and direction in one compact housing-without the need for additional sensors. Ideal for stationary applications, the 120WX model offers apparent wind speed and direction, air temperature, and barometric pressure readings.
