Precision Wind Measurement for Marine Navigation

The Furuno FI5001L Long Arm Masthead Wind Transducer is a high-precision instrument designed for integration with Furuno’s NavNet 3D and FI50 series displays. Engineered for marine applications, it delivers accurate wind speed and angle readings, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments. The long arm masthead design provides enhanced sensitivity and stability, making it an essential tool for sailors and marine professionals who require real-time wind data.

Advanced Wind Sensing Technology

The FI5001L is built to detect wind angles with an accuracy of better than 10 degrees and wind speeds with a precision of ±5% at 20 knots. This ensures that mariners receive dependable and precise data for navigation and weather monitoring. With its low power consumption of less than 40 mA on a 12VDC system, it is an energy-efficient solution for continuous onboard operation.

Essential Cable Requirement

This wind transducer does not include a cable as part of the standard package. To ensure full functionality, users must select either a 30-meter or 50-meter cable kit when purchasing. Each cable kit includes a junction box for a secure and seamless connection.
