Advanced Marine Weather Monitoring with the Furuno 200WX

The Furuno 200WX Ultrasonic Weather Instrument is a state-of-the-art solution for accurate and reliable marine weather monitoring. Designed to provide real-time environmental data, this compact and highly durable weather station is ideal for vessels requiring precise wind, pressure, and temperature measurements. With advanced ultrasonic technology, the 200WX eliminates mechanical wear and delivers superior performance in demanding marine conditions.

Precision Ultrasonic Wind and Weather Measurements

The Furuno 200WX employs ultrasonic measurement technology to deliver both apparent and theoretical wind speed and direction without the need for moving parts. This ensures long-term accuracy and durability while reducing maintenance requirements.

Comprehensive Environmental Data

Beyond wind measurements, the 200WX provides essential meteorological readings, including barometric pressure, air temperature, wind chill, relative humidity (optional field serviceable), and calculated values such as dew point and heat index. These insights allow mariners to make informed decisions based on real-time weather conditions.

Integrated GPS and Motion Sensing

Equipped with a high-performance GPS module, the 200WX offers precise position tracking, speed over ground, and course over ground data. Additionally, its three-axis solid-state compass and accelerometer provide dynamic stabilization, ensuring accurate heading, pitch, and roll readings, even in rough seas.

Advanced Rate-of-Turn and Motion Stability

The inclusion of a three-axis rate gyro enhances the system’s ability to supply real-time rate-of-turn data, making it invaluable for vessel maneuvering and navigation. The integrated accelerometer further refines pitch and roll measurements, providing best-in-class motion sensing for marine applications.

Robust Marine-Grade Construction

Built for the harsh marine environment, the 200WX features an IPX6-rated housing for superior water-ingress protection. This rugged design ensures reliable performance in extreme weather conditions, safeguarding critical data when it matters most.

Seamless Integration with Marine Systems

The Furuno 200WX supports both NMEA 0183/ASCII serial data over an RS-232 interface and NMEA 2000 protocol over a CAN network, ensuring seamless integration with a wide range of marine electronics and navigation systems.
