Description
Clipper Wireless Wind
The Clipper wireless wind system is supplied with a wireless masthead transmitter, a base unit to read the wireless signal and a Clipper Wind display unit. The wireless masthead transmitter is powered by an internal battery which is charged from ambient light using a small solar panel. A few dull days will not affect performance. When fully charged, it is capable of two thousand hours of full operation in total darkness. The masthead transmitter sends data via a wireless signal to the base unit, which is powered by the vessel's 12 Volt supply, the base unit receives wind speed and direction data from the masthead transmitter and sends it to the Clipper Wind display or any other compatible NMEA display unit.
The Clipper Wind display is in the industry standard 110mm or 4" square case. Exceptionally large and clear display with 60 segments for full 360 degree direction indication.
