Uvod
The Furuno 200WX Ultrasonic Weather Station is an advanced, all-in-one sensor designed to provide essential weather readings with high precision and accuracy. It detects instantaneous changes in weather conditions and operates continuously, even in adverse environments. This station measures apparent and true wind speed and direction, air temperature, and wind chill temperature. It also integrates a 3-Axis solid-state compass and a 3-Axis Rate Gyro for superior compass and pitch/roll accuracy. The 200WX supports both CanBUS/NMEA2000 and NMEA 0183 connectivity, allowing direct connection to compatible marine navigation systems like NavNet TZtouch/NavNet 3D DRS Radar sensors. Power is supplied via the NMEA 2000 bus, facilitating flexible installation. Its UV-stabilized, compact, and fully waterproof housing is resistant to chemicals and sunlight, ensuring durability.

- Temperatura zraka
- Temperatura vetra
- Barometrični tlak
- The integrated 3-Axis solid-state compass and 3-Axis Rate Gyro provide accurate compass and pitch/roll data.
Interfacing with Display Units
Connect your display unit (e.g., NavNet TZtouch/NavNet 3D) to the NMEA 2000 network to view the weather data. Refer to your display unit's manual for specific instructions on configuring data displays.
The system is designed for continuous operation, even in adverse weather conditions.
Vzdrževanje
The Furuno 200WX Ultrasonic Weather Station is designed for minimal maintenance due to its lack of moving parts.
Rutinsko čiščenje
- Periodically inspect the unit for any accumulation of dirt, salt, or debris.
- Zunanjost enote očistite z mehko damp krpo. Izogibajte se abrazivnim čistilom ali topilom.
- Ensure the ultrasonic transducers (located on the top of the unit) are clear of obstructions.
Okoljski vidiki
The UV-stabilized, compact housing is fully waterproof and resistant to chemicals and sunlight, ensuring long-term durability in marine environments.
Odpravljanje težav
This section provides solutions to common issues you may encounter with your 200WX Weather Station.
No Data Displayed
- Preverite moč: Ensure the NMEA 2000 bus is powered and the 200WX unit is receiving power.
- Kabelske povezave: Verify that the NMEA 2000 cable is securely connected to both the 200WX and the network.
- Omrežna konfiguracija: Confirm that your display unit is correctly configured to receive data from the NMEA 2000 network. Refer to your display unit's manual.
Inaccurate Wind Readings
- Ovire: Check for any physical obstructions near the unit that could be interfering with wind flow (e.g., mast, rigging, other sensors).
- Lokacija namestitve: Ensure the unit is mounted in a location with clear, undisturbed airflow.
- Čistost senzorja: Clean the ultrasonic transducers as described in the Maintenance section.
Incorrect Compass/Pitch/Roll Data
- Umerjanje: If available, perform a compass calibration procedure on your connected display unit or through the 200WX configuration.
- Magnetne motnje: Ensure the unit is not mounted too close to strong magnetic fields (e.g., large metal objects, electrical cables).
