Detailed description

Designed for demanding sailors, the RAYMARINE T222 vertical masthead wind sensor is a wind measurement solution for masthead installation. This vertical wind transducer is specifically engineered to provide clean integration and accurate data acquisition, a key asset for performance and navigation.

T222 installation and positioning

The T222 sensor is installed using the included TA204 Mastfoot mast bracket. Once the Mastfoot is securely mounted at the masthead, the wind transducer is inserted and must be aligned with the boat’s longitudinal axis. It is then secured with a bolt after drilling into the mast carbon, ensuring mechanical stability. To adapt to different mast configurations, the transducer height can be adjusted by cutting up to 150 mm from the lower shaft, while ensuring precise centering before the final drilling. The entire installation benefits from a simplified self-networking procedure, allowing rapid display of wind speed and angle on onboard instruments.

Differentiation and maintenance

Unlike traditional horizontal wind transducers, the T222’s vertical design, combined with the TA204 Mastfoot, offers a discreet solution potentially less prone to aerodynamic interference from masthead equipment. It positions itself as an alternative to B&G or Garmin models, which often use extended arms. Maintenance is simplified by the modular design, where the vane, anemometer cups, and bearing assembly are user-replaceable components, extending the sensor’s lifespan. Calibration and precise alignment are essential after installation to ensure data reliability.

« Vertical integration and wind precision at masthead »

The RAYMARINE T222 vertical masthead anemometer is a strategic choice for sailboat owners seeking a clean integration and high-precision wind speed and direction data acquisition at the masthead. Its vertical design, unlike the more common horizontal arm sensors, can be advantageous on aerodynamically profiled masts or in configurations where minimizing drag and maintaining aesthetics are critical.

Installation requires careful attention. The TA204 Mastfoot must be securely anchored, and precise alignment of the transducer with the boat's longitudinal axis is essential for measurement accuracy. Drilling into carbon fiber for bolt installation is a step that requires specialized tools and expertise to avoid structural damage. The ability to adjust sensor height by cutting up to 150 mm from the shaft is a practical feature, but must be done with extreme precision to ensure stability and reliability of the assembly.

This model is relevant for existing or planned RAYMARINE navigation systems where ecosystem consistency is a priority. It stands out for its vertical integration approach, a design choice that addresses specific constraints and offers an alternative to traditional wind transmitters. While initial installation demands rigor and precision, the modularity of components (vane, cups, bearing) ensures easy long-term maintenance—a key factor for durability in marine environments. It is imperative to perform self-networking and calibration to fully leverage the T222's capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

How is the Raymarine T222 vertical masthead wind transducer installed at the top of the mast?

Installing the T222 sensor involves several steps at the masthead:

Start by installing the TA204 Mastfoot mast mount, which is supplied with the product. Then insert the wind transducer shaft into the Mastfoot. Align the transducer precisely with the longitudinal axis of your boat. Secure the transducer shaft in the Mastfoot by drilling the mast (if carbon) and installing the retaining bolt. Before lowering the mast, check that the cups of the anemometer and vane anemometer move freely. A simplified self-networking procedure allows wind speed and angle to be quickly displayed on the onboard instruments.

What data does the Raymarine T222 vertical wind transducer provide?

The Raymarine T222 vertical wind transducer is designed to measure and transmit essential wind data. It provides wind speed and wind angle, which are then displayed on compatible onboard instruments.

Is it necessary to drill my mast to install the T222 sensor?

Yes, to securely attach the wind transducer in the TA204 Mastfoot bracket, it is necessary to drill the mast (if carbon fiber) to insert the retaining bolt. This step ensures optimal mechanical stability of the sensor.

What are the advantages of the T222 vertical sensor design compared to horizontal wind transmitters?

The T222 vertical sensor design, paired with the TA204 Mastfoot mount, offers several advantages over traditional horizontal wind transmitters:

It provides a more discreet and streamlined solution at the masthead.It is potentially less prone to aerodynamic interference from other equipment mounted at the masthead.It serves as an alternative to models using offset arms, offering a more direct integration.

Can I adjust the height of the T222 aerial sensor after installation?

Yes, the T222 transducer height can be adjusted if required. You may cut up to 150 mm from the lower section of the transducer shaft.

After cutting, it is critical to ensure the shaft is perfectly centered in the mastfoot and firmly secured in this position before drilling the final hole for the retaining bolt.

Is the T222 sensor easy to maintain or repair?

Yes, T222 sensor maintenance is simplified by its modular design. The following components are user-replaceable:

The wind vaneThe anemometer cupsThe bearing assemblyThis modularity extends sensor lifespan by allowing replacement of wear parts.

With which instrument systems is the Raymarine T222 sensor compatible?

The Raymarine T222 vertical aerial sensor is designed to integrate with Raymarine instrument systems capable of displaying wind speed and angle. A simplified auto-networking procedure enables quick connection and data display on compatible displays.

Is calibration required after installing the T222 sensor?

Yes, calibration and precise alignment are essential after installing the T222 sensor. This step ensures the reliability and accuracy of the wind data displayed on your onboard instruments. Calibration procedure details are typically provided in your instrument's manual.
