Bluetooth wireless ultrasonic wind vane

MULTIPLE DATA

The Calypso wind vane has an ultrasonic sensor. Without any moving parts, this sensor is not fragile.

With the Calypso wireless ultrasonic wind vane you will have the following information:

• Apparent wind speed and angle
• Real wind speed and angle (calculation via GPS smartphone/tablet information for wireless version)
• Real wind direction (calculation via GPS information on smartphone and tablet for wireless version).

This information is invaluable for correcting course according to wind strength.

AUTONOMY AND OPERATION

There are two operating modes for the Calypso wind vane:

1. The standby mode when the windvane is not solicited and does not return information. In these circumstances, the battery has a life of one year.
2. In "measurement" mode, the battery life allows the wind vane to last about 30 days. For the recharge, the wind vane is equipped with a solar panel that allows the charge of a small internal battery.

A LOW ENERGY BLUETOOTH

The information can be read on a mobile (tablet or smartphone) connected to the wind vane via Bluetooth. It is Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) which consumes little energy. The range between the mobile and the wind vane is 30m maximum.

The connection does not break even when you are in the cabin. In case of fleet navigation, the windvane can only be coupled to one mobile at a time.

To read the data, Calypso offers a free application to download on your mobile (iOS and Android). This app gives the wind strength and direction, but also allows to configure the equipment and calibrate it.

Download the application "anemotracker" direction via the Appstore or Google Play.
