Designed specially for critical maritime weather applications
An automatic weather station designed for maritime environments such as ports, ships, and offshore platforms. The system is designed to withstand the salty and wet conditions that prevail aboard ships and platforms as well as the freeze/thaw conditions experienced in extreme-weather environments. It is also able to endure vibration and shock.
Features • High-quality anti-corrosive design and EMC characteristics that comply with Lloyd’s Register and IEC 60945 requirements • High data availability • Built in test procedures and data validation • Accurate true wind calculation even from multiple sensors • Meets NMEA 0183 and IEC 1162-1 requirements for data communication • Complies with CAP 437 requirements
Key Benefits
• Designed specially for critical maritime weather applications • The AWS430 has successfully passed a wide variety, of environmental, electrical, vibration and shock tests. All test specifications comply with both the Lloyds' Register approval system and the IEC 60945 international maritime standard.
• Flexible integration • The vessel’s own gyrocompass and navigation system can be used to provide the required heading and ship speed, direction, and location information. However, an optional GPS compass can also be integrated into the system.
• Self diagnostics and constant data availability • Built-in algorithms test each measurement to ensure data quality.
