Although seafaring is a profitable and prosperous business, it is also fraught with risks. Therefore, as a sailor, we must be familiar with its dangers so that we can react properly in emergency situations. One of the dangerous factors in sea trips is the weather. Bad weather conditions can affect the speed and direction of the boat. If the weather conditions become stormy, the possibility of the vessel overturning, colliding with another vessel, and deviating from the correct course of the table increases. Therefore, getting information about the weather that prevails in the next few days will help you to travel at sea with more confidence and awareness.
Therefore, considering the incidents that can happen in bad weather conditions, we understand the importance of monitoring it with the walker 2080 mk2 device. Using the weather monitoring device walker 2080 mk2 in Dubai provides you with the possibility to prevent accidents that lead to losses in trade and transportation of goods, material damages, human injuries and even death. It also provides you with a complete background of the weather that will dominate your sea route in the next few hours
Specifications of walker 2080 mk2 monitoring system in UAE
The Mk2 John Lilley and Gillie Walker 2080 wind speed and direction system uses a powerful sensor to detect wind speed and direction. This P292 solid state ultrasonic sensor is very accurate in detecting wind speed and direction. The most important advantage of this monitoring system is that the performance of all parts is fixed and there are no moving parts for wear.
The wind speed and direction indicator is made according to the latest world standards and is directly connected to the walker 2080 mk2 sensor. It is also possible to upgrade the cable P296 to P292. You can easily replace the masts and there is no need to change other parts.
The function of the sensor in the walker 2080 weather monitoring device is to detect the speed and direction of the wind and display it in the form of digital data. The instrument connects in NMEA 0183/RS422 with other ship systems using the MWV command. This system works in the range of wind speed up to 120 knots and in temperatures from -35 to +70 degrees Celsius. It also has an option to display actual wind speed and direction using the Walker P1066 True Wind Walker unit.
The Walker 2080 Mk2 system is fully compliant with IEC 60945, IEC 61162-2 and IEC 62288 and although wind systems do not require approval, our wind system is BV certified.
