Raymarine Z195 Rotavecta Masthead Wind Transducer

Description

The Raymarine Z195 Rotavecta Masthead Wind Transducer delivers responsive apparent wind tracking and real-time pulse refreshing to eliminate hazardous wind data guesswork on sailing vessels, cruising loops, and multi-instrument tracking stations. Drawing its excitation voltage straight from connected Raymarine instruments or junction nodes, this wind speed and direction masthead transducer peripheral coordinates analog Rotavecta frequency pulse systems to replace heavy, sluggish cup transducers entirely. Sailing crews can execute sudden course corrections or reef sails safely, letting the advanced extension arm maintain perfect aerodynamic placement away from mast airflow disruptions.

Forged with a UV-stabilized impact-resistant high-grade polycarbonate body and heavy-duty stainless steel fasteners, the fully weatherproof marine enclosure resists aggressive chemical saltwater oxidation under long-term offshore masthead exposure. The specialized continuous rotational design tracks apparent wind speed and apparent wind angle concurrently, delivering analog pulse data to the processor through long masthead routing drops. Procuring this premium United Kingdom-manufactured wind sensor optimizes multi-instrument sailing telemetry backbones, backed by an elite 3-Year limited factory warranty plan.

Key Features of Raymarine Z195

• Wind Speed and Direction Masthead Transducer Peripheral supplies critical environmental sensing telemetry to pair directly with remote i40 Wind, i50 Wind, or iTC-5 processing modules.
• Analog Rotavecta Frequency Pulse Data Protocol feeds precise wind speed and apparent wind angle metrics continuously to dashboard instruments without network data lag.
• Masthead Pivot Mount Bracket Base System anchors the light sensor structure firmly to mast tops using rugged stainless steel hardware to prevent loose play or wind flex.
• Included Structural Extension Arm Assembly elevates the transducer pod away from localized masthead turbulence to guarantee clean, uncompromised airflow readings.
• Excitation Voltage Smart Power Distribution operates safely on electrical currents supplied directly from the primary helm display gauge or network switch node.
• IPX6 and IPX7 Fully Weatherproof Marine Sealing safeguards sensitive internal rotational sensor assemblies from high-pressure driving rain, sleet, and dense cloud humidity.
• UV-Stabilized Impact-Resistant High-Grade Polycarbonate shields internal copper element nodes from permanent material embrittlement under continuous exposure to raw solar glare.
• Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Fastener Componentry resists aggressive mechanical shear stresses to prevent permanent mounting fatigue across rough-sea transit routes.
• Ultra-Lightweight Casting Chassis weighing 0.68 lbs minimizes critical masthead weight profiles to eliminate unnecessary boat rolling or rigging leverage strain.
• Universal Environmental Sailing Application compatibility optimizes dynamic weather tracking capabilities across a diverse range of cruising sailboats and tactical racing monohulls.
