The Calypso Portable Solar Wind Meter & NMEA BT2000 Gateway come already paired to simplify installation.
This product combines the Calypso Ultrasonic Portable Solar wind speed and wind direction meter (anemometer), a solar powered, reliable and extremely accurate wind speed and direction device, measuring just 70mm in diameter with the NMEA BT2000 Gateway that enables onward connection to any NMEA2000 network, display or chartplotter.
The Ultrasonic Portable Solar Powered Wind Meter is a wind meter that measures both wind speed (air velocity) and wind direction. The sensor has an industry standard 16 mm (M16X2) female attachment thread as found on marine VHF aerial mounts. Varied mounting options ensure an easy fit and forget solution including, aluminium and carbon fibre masts (33cm & 1m lengths) and L shaped offset mast mounts. Wirelessly installed the unit is self-powered via a solar cell that charges an internal battery delivering up to 29 days of continuous operation in the dark and over a year on sleep mode.
The NCP NMEA BT2000 Gateway connects your Calypso Ultrasonic Portable Solar Powered Wind Meter to an NMEA 2000 network. Additionally, it sends the data through Bluetooth (version 5.1) and allows you to connect up to 2 Bluetooth devices at the same time within 50m (line of sight) of the sensor. Data can be viewed by many ‘free to market’ Apps, saved and downloaded in Excel or .CSV format or mapped for later analysis and reporting.
The Calypso Ultrasonic Portable Solar Sensor and the NCP NMEA BT2000 Gateway come already paired allowing fast installation and easy onward connection to your NMEA2000 network.
