Furuno 200WX Weather Station

The Furuno 200WX is an outstanding ultrasonic weather instrument. It precisely measures both apparent and theoretical wind speed and direction via ultrasonic technology. This weather station also monitors barometric pressure, air and wind chill temperature. You can opt for the field - serviceable relative humidity feature. It calculates the dew point and heat index accurately. Along with that, it provides GPS position, speed over ground, and course over ground information. The three - axis solid - state compass has dynamic stabilization, and the three - axis accelerometer gives top - notch pitch and roll details. The three - axis rate gyro supplies rate - of - turn data. With an IPX6 - rated housing for water - ingress protection, it uses NMEA 0183/ASCII serial data protocol over RS - 232 interface and NMEA 2000 protocol over CAN.

Using the Furuno 200WX Weather Station is quite easy. First, find a suitable outdoor location to install it. Make sure it's in an open area away from obstacles that could block wind. Once installed, connect it to your device using the RS - 232 interface or CAN as per your needs. The station will start collecting and displaying weather data right away. When it comes to maintenance, check the housing regularly for any signs of damage. Since it's IPX6 - rated, it can withstand some water exposure, but avoid submerging it. If you choose the relative humidity option, keep an eye on its performance and get it serviced in the field if necessary. As for safety, always follow general electrical safety rules when handling the connections. This way, your weather station will serve you well for a long time.
