Wind Rotavecta (20m cable)

The Raymarine Wind Rotavecta (Z195) is a wired smart wind sensor, also known as a wired short-arm smart wind transducer (RSW-Wired Short Arm Smart Wind Transducer). It is designed to be masthead-mounted to provide accurate and reliable data on wind speed and direction.

The Raymarine Wind Rotavecta is designed to provide accurate and reliable data on wind speed and direction. This information is essential for navigation and optimizing your boat's performance.

Yes, this sensor is specifically designed for use in a marine environment. Its design ensures continuous performance and resistance to various weather conditions and elements, with particular attention paid to preventing water ingress.

The Raymarine Wind Rotavecta comes with an interconnect cable 20 m (approx. 65 ft) long. This cable is included to simplify masthead installation.

The Raymarine Wind Rotavecta is a wired wind transducer. It is designated as "RSW-Wired Short Arm Smart Wind Transducer", indicating a physical connection via the supplied cable.

The Rotavecta wind transducer integrates with the Raymarine SeaTalk NG network via a dedicated bridge (gateway). This bridge is essential for transmitting wind data to multifunction displays and compatible instruments onboard.

Yes, the Wind Rotavecta is compatible with NMEA 2000 systems. Integration is via the gateway, which provides connectivity to Raymarine’s SeaTalk NG network, which is based on the NMEA 2000 protocol, ensuring smooth communication with other onboard equipment.

Yes, once connected to the SeaTalk NG network via its bridge, the wind data from the Wind Rotavecta can be transmitted and displayed on Raymarine multifunction displays and compatible instruments.

Yes, the Wind Rotavecta system includes a bridge (gateway) required for integration into the SeaTalk NG network. The installation instructions detail the mounting of the sensor and the bridge.

The Wind Rotavecta wind transducer is designed for masthead installation. This positioning provides the most accurate wind data by minimizing disturbances caused by the boat's structures.

The Raymarine Wind Rotavecta installation instructions include a dedicated section for required tools. It is recommended to consult the full installation manual for the precise list, but this typically involves basic tools for mounting and cable routing.

Routing the cable inside the mast must be done carefully to ensure data reliability. Installation instructions detail routing procedures, including creating a drip loop to prevent water ingress and ensure the longevity of the installation.

Yes, the Wind Rotavecta system installation instructions include a dedicated section for grounding the bridge. Therefore, a grounding connection must be provided to ensure correct and safe operation of the system.

This product must be connected to a 12 V DC power source only. It is essential to ensure the product is properly grounded before applying power, in accordance with the provided instructions.

The installation of the wind transducer at the masthead is detailed in the installation instructions, particularly in the "Mounting the wind transducer" section. It is crucial to follow these steps for secure attachment, optimal positioning, and reliable sensor performance.

Yes, the RSW-Series wind transducer can be configured and calibrated. The instructions detail RSW wind configuration procedures using a LightHouse 4 multifunction display or an i70 / i70s instrument. Internal compass calibration is also possible.

The Raymarine Wind Rotavecta (Z195) is specifically identified as a Raymarine RSW-Wired Short Arm Smart Wind Transducer.

To ensure correct installation, it is essential to print the mounting template at actual size. The instructions recommend using Adobe Acrobat Reader and checking print settings to ensure page size and scale options are set to "Actual size" or "None".

Yes, the installation document includes sections on service and maintenance, as well as routine checks for the wind sensor. It is recommended to perform regular equipment checks and maintenance to ensure the sensor’s performance and longevity.
