Experience unparalleled precision in marine navigation with the AIROW MARINE AM708 Wind Speed and Direction Sensor. Engineered for the demanding marine environment, this advanced system features a vivid 8.4-inch TFT display with an 800x600 pixel resolution and multi-level brightness adjustment for optimal visibility in any light condition.
The AM708 delivers critical wind data with exceptional accuracy: ±1° for wind direction (0-359° range) and 0.1m/s for wind speed (1.2-60m/s range), activating at a minimal wind speed of ≤1.2m/s. All data is seamlessly output via NMEA0183 for integration with existing onboard systems.
Constructed with extreme durability in mind, the display unit boasts an IP23 protection level, while the remote wind sensor is rated IP56, ensuring robust performance against harsh weather. The sensor's robust, UV-stabilized ABS/Polycarbonate casing and vanes are paired with 316 Stainless Steel fasteners and an anodized 6061-T6 Aluminum arm for superior corrosion resistance. Operating flawlessly across a wide temperature range of -25℃ to +55℃, the AM708 is further distinguished by its CCS Certificate, guaranteeing reliability for professional and serious navigators alike. Power options include AC220V/DC24V with a low consumption of ≤5W, making it a reliable and efficient addition to any vessel.
