Commercial Fishing

The patented 220WX is Airmar's solution for commercial-fishing weather-monitoring applications. Feature rich in a durable, rugged, small footprint that is IPX6 rated, the 220WX calculates the theoretical wind speed and direction based upon the apparent wind, speed of the vessel, and vessel heading.

The 220WX has an internal, 10 Hz GPS and three-axis electronic compass. These sensors give heading, position, speed-over-ground, and course-over-ground functionality that is required for theoretical wind-data processing and mobile applications. A 3D compass with dynamic stabilization provided by the three-axis rate gyro also enhances the rate-of-turn data.

WS-220WX WeatherStation® - No Humidity

Airmar has restructured the WeatherStation range. The updated models are designed specifically for marine use. The WS-120WX and WS-220WX do not include humidity as standard. Instead, an optional add-on humidity sensor is available to field-upgrade either of them, or as a kit when you purchase one of these sensors. Adding humidity sensing is a simple plug-and-play two-screw installation and can be completed at any time by any skill level. A heater option will also be available, resulting in a total of six assembly numbers available for the recreational industry.
