Wireless wind kit for STNG (E70361, T120 & T113)

The Raymarine T70338 wireless wind kit is a complete solution for measuring wind speed and direction on your sailboat. It is designed for easy integration with Raymarine SeaTalk NG navigation systems. This kit minimizes the need for complex wiring in the mast thanks to its wireless data transmission.

Yes, the T70338 kit is designed to fully integrate with existing Raymarine navigation systems. Thanks to its dedicated bridge, it broadcasts wind data across the onboard SeaTalk NG network. This includes compatibility with LightHouse 4 multifunction displays and i70/i70s instruments.

Yes, calibration is required after installation to ensure optimal accuracy of wind data. The T70338 kit allows configuration and calibration via compatible Raymarine displays, such as LightHouse 4 screens or i70/i70s instruments. This step ensures that wind speed and direction measurements are correctly aligned with actual conditions.

The T70338 wireless wind kit provides accurate wind speed and direction data. This information is essential for sailboat navigation, allowing sailors to optimize sail trim and make informed decisions.

Yes, the T70338 kit is compatible with NMEA 2000 networks via its SeaTalk NG integration. Raymarine’s SeaTalk NG network is based on the NMEA 2000 standard, allowing wind data to be broadcast and used by other NMEA 2000-compatible equipment on the vessel.

The dedicated bridge, which receives wireless wind data, connects directly to your boat's SeaTalk NG network. This connection is typically made using standard SeaTalk NG cables, which are easy to install thanks to their plug-and-play connection system. It is recommended to consult the installation manual for specific wiring diagrams and best practices.

The main difference lies in the data transmission method. The T70338 kit uses wireless transmission between the wind sensor (via the T120 transmitter) and the bridge, which greatly simplifies installation and reduces the need for wiring in the mast. A fully wired system, such as those in the i60 Wind series, requires a physical cable to carry wind sensor data to the instruments. Both systems provide similar data quality, but the T70338 prioritizes ease of installation.

Yes, the E70361 wind transducer is a robust vane anemometer designed to withstand the demanding environmental conditions of the marine environment. Raymarine products are typically manufactured with durable materials and tested to ensure reliability at sea.

The tools required for installation may vary, but generally include basic tools such as a drill, wrenches, screwdrivers, and mounting hardware. It is always recommended to consult the installation manual provided with the kit for a precise list of required tools and specific steps.

Yes, the T70338 kit is fully configurable via Raymarine multifunction displays running LightHouse 4 software. This allows access to wind system settings, calibration, and customization of data display.

The T113 display is included in the kit to provide direct wind data visualization. It receives wireless data from the T120 transmitter. While it can display wind data autonomously, it is designed to be part of an integrated Raymarine system, sharing data via the SeaTalk NG gateway with other instruments and displays.

The T70338 wireless wind kit is a versatile solution suitable for a wide range of sailboats. Its wireless design simplifies installation, which is an advantage for masts of all sizes. The E70361 sensor is a standard vane anemometer for recreational sailing.

Although the kit minimizes data cabling in the mast, any power or connection cable between the sensor and the transmitter (if applicable) must be routed carefully. It is important to create a drip loop to prevent water from running along the cable and to maintain a sufficient bend radius to avoid damaging the cables. The manufacturer's installation instructions provide specific guidelines for secure routing.

Yes, the T70338 wireless wind kit is fully compatible with Raymarine i70 and i70s instruments. Wind data is broadcast over the SeaTalk NG network, allowing these displays to show and use wind speed and direction information accurately.

Integration with the SeaTalk NG network is handled by a dedicated gateway included in the kit. This gateway receives wind data transmitted wirelessly by the T120 transmitter and converts it into a SeaTalk NG-compatible format. Once connected to the SeaTalk NG network, all wind data becomes available to other compatible Raymarine instruments and displays aboard.
