Detailed description

The B&G WS320 wireless interface is the Bluetooth receiver specifically designed for the WS320 wireless wind transducer. It is the essential component that bridges the gap between the masthead sensor and your boat's NMEA 2000 network, translating wireless signals into usable data for your B&G multifunction displays and autopilots. This product, referenced under SKU 000-14388-001, includes only the interface and does not include the wind transducer.

Connectivity and Performance

Using Bluetooth 4.0 technology, this interface ensures a stable and reliable connection with the WS320 transducer up to a range of 30 meters. It receives wind speed and angle data and transmits it to the NMEA 2000 network at a refresh rate of 5 Hz (5 times per second). This high frequency ensures responsiveness and data fluidity equivalent to the brand's traditional wired systems, such as the WS310, which is crucial for autopilot performance and the accuracy of sailing navigation instruments.

Installation and Power

Integrating the WS320 interface is made as simple as possible. Power (9-16 V DC) and data connection are made directly via the NMEA 2000 network using a standard Micro-C connector. Its power consumption is low, at 1.2 W (less than 100 mA at 12 V DC) for a network load of 2 LEN. The compact and lightweight housing (0.1 kg) is IPX7 waterproof certified, allowing installation in the most demanding marine environments, protected from the elements. Configuration and pairing with the wind sensor are done from a compatible B&G multifunction display.

Product Positioning: Interface Only

This product is the WS320 wireless interface sold separately. It is primarily intended for replacing a damaged or lost existing unit, or for custom installations. To create a complete and functional wind measurement system, this interface must be paired with the WS320 wireless wind transducer, which is sold separately or in the complete WS320 pack. The complete WS320 system represents a modern alternative to wired sensors, eliminating the hassle of running cables through the mast without any compromise on accuracy.

Expert opinion

« The indispensable bridge between wireless and your NMEA 2000 network »

The WS320 interface is the essential component that bridges the gap between the wireless technology of the B&G wind sensor and the robustness of the wired NMEA 2000 network. Its role is to receive wind data via a low-power Bluetooth connection and translate it into standard NMEA 2000 PGNs, while powering the sensor. This module eliminates the need for a mast cable, a frequent source of failures, without sacrificing the reliability of data integration. Its standard Micro-C connector and IPX7 waterproof housing ensure a simple and durable installation, integrating perfectly into the network architecture of any B&G-equipped sailboat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What exactly is the WS320 wireless interface?

The WS320 wireless interface is a Bluetooth receiver. Its role is to receive data from the B&G WS320 wireless wind sensor (sold separately) and transmit it to your boat's NMEA 2000 network for display on your screens.

Is the wind sensor that mounts at the masthead included with this product?

No, this product (SKU 000-14388-001) only contains the wireless interface (the receiver). The WS320 wind sensor must be purchased separately or as part of a complete pack.

What wind sensor is this interface compatible with?

This interface is designed exclusively to work with the B&G WS320 wireless wind sensor. It is not compatible with other models, including wired models like the WS310.

How is the WS320 interface powered?

The interface is powered directly by your boat's NMEA 2000 network. It operates with a voltage of 9 to 16 V DC supplied by the network bus, without requiring a separate power cable.

What is the wireless connection range between the interface and the sensor?

The Bluetooth connection between the interface and the WS320 wind sensor has a range of up to 30 meters (98 feet), which is sufficient for most sailboats.

What type of network does this interface connect to?

The WS320 interface connects to your boat's NMEA 2000 network via a standard Micro-C connector, ensuring broad compatibility with modern navigation equipment.

How often is the wind data updated?

Wind data (apparent speed and angle) is transmitted to the NMEA 2000 network at a refresh rate of 5 Hz, or five times per second, for maximum responsiveness.

What is the power consumption of this interface?

The power consumption of the WS320 interface is very low, amounting to 1.2 W, which corresponds to less than 100 mA at a voltage of 12 V DC.

What is the network load equivalent (LEN) of this product?

The WS320 interface has a network load equivalent (LEN) of 2. This value should be considered when calculating the total load of your NMEA 2000 network.

What is the IP rating of the WS320 interface?

The interface benefits from an IPX7 waterproof rating, meaning it is protected against temporary immersion in water (up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes).

What type of connector is used for the network connection?

The interface uses a standard Micro-C connector to plug directly into a T-connector on your NMEA 2000 backbone.

Why buy only the interface without the wind sensor?

This product is primarily intended for replacing an existing interface that is damaged or lost, or for a custom installation where components are acquired separately.

Is this interface compatible with an old SimNet network?

The interface uses NMEA 2000 (Micro-C) connectivity. To connect it to an older SimNet network, a SimNet to Micro-C adapter cable (sold separately) is required.

Where is it recommended to install the interface box?

It is recommended to install the interface in a dry and sheltered location, while ensuring it remains within the 30-meter range of the masthead sensor. The location should allow for easy connection to the NMEA 2000 backbone.
