Weather variables such as wind speed and direction, air temperature, humidity and rainfall are important factors in determining the trends of a wide range of events. For example, shipping has always been highly dependent on weather and weather forecasts. Because wind speed and humidity can be involved in the speed and direction of marine vessels. Therefore, using the walker 2050 mk2 system allows you to control the wind speed so that you can be fully prepared to control your float in emergency situations. Climate monitoring is therefore important not only in defining current climate, but also in detecting climate change and providing data to feed into models that enable us to predict future changes in our environment.
Technical specifications of walker 2050 mk2 system
The system in Dubai Walker 2050 has a combined fan-meter sensor that allows the helmsman to detect the wind speed. The fan gauge sensor has an indicator that is directly connected to the wind speed and direction. Also, the walker 2050 mk2 system in UAE has a digital display that shows you the wind speed in kilometers. Wind direction is also displayed on a simulated analog display using OLED technology.
The Walker P1249 indicator communicates on NMEA 0183/RS422 with other ship systems using the MWV data sentence.
This system works in the range of wind speed up to 100 knots and in the temperature range between -35 and +70 degrees Celsius.
The Walker 2050Mk2 system is fully compliant with IEC 60945, IEC 61162-2 and IEC 62288. Although air systems do not require approval, the walker 2050 mk2 air system from Lilley & Gillie is BV certified.
