DEIF WSS 750

Wind sensor

Ship navigation relies on accurate, real-time wind data to capture changes in wind speed or direction, helping the crew correct the course or avoid potentially dangerous situations. This is especially true for the harshest marine environments. The DEIF WSS 750 wind sensor combined with the DEIF XDi-N indicator is a cost effective and flexible solution that meets the harshest wind measuring needs of the maritime sector.

A wind sensor built for harsh marine environments

The DEIF ultrasonic WSS 750 wind sensor has an extended range. Like the WSS 550, it has no moving parts that could cause the wear-out problems typically associated with cup and vane type anemometers. This ensures consistent and reliable performance with no significant maintenance costs. Marine approved, with an IP67 rating, stainless steel construction and a separately powered heater to prevent icing, the WSS 750 is a extremely robust solution for harsh marine wind measuring applications such as Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems.

The WSS 750 has been specially designed to make installation very simple with its bayonet mount. Easy installation and plug and play set up are also key factors when combining with DEIF’s XDi-N indicator which also comes with a comprehensive standard library of wind indicators to choose from. Using XDi-N indicators with the WSS 750 also allows integration with other navigation systems such as compass for true or geographical wind display and other systems such as VDR.
