L&G 2050Mk2 Wind Data system
The Walker 2050 uses a Combined Anemometer Cup & Vane
Direction Sensor, the P296.
The Sensor connects directly to a standard Walker DIN 144 wind speed & direction indicator, the P1249, which gives digital displays of
relative wind speed & direction. Wind direction is also displayed on a simulated analogue display by use of OLED technology.
True wind systems are available by using this sensor with the Walker P1066 True Wind Interface Unit.
System
The sensor converts wind speed and direction into serial digital data. Data is displayed by the P1249 Indicator in digital format and also in analogue for wind direction. The instrument interfaces in NMEA 0183/RS422 to other ship systems. Sentence – MWV
