Short-arm wind sensor with 30m cable

The E22078 sensor pack includes the wind transducer with its 300 mm short arm and a 30-meter connection cable.

The length of the arm of this transducer, part number E22078, is 300 mm (11.8 inches).

The main difference lies in the length of the arm and the supplied cable:

E22078 (this model): Features a short 300 mm arm and a 30-meter cable. E22079: Features a long 600 mm arm and a 50-meter cable. The short-arm model is often chosen to minimize windage at the masthead.

Yes, the E22078 sensor can be directly connected to a Raymarine i60 Wind series display without requiring an adapter or converter.

To connect this transducer to an Axiom or Axiom 2 series multifunction display, you must use an iTC-5 instrument data converter (sold separately). The transducer does not connect directly to the Axiom display.

It is imperative that the sensor be installed facing forward on the boat, perfectly aligned with the longitudinal axis (bow-stern) to ensure accurate wind direction measurements.

Yes, this sensor is fully compatible with ST60+ Wind displays. It connects directly without requiring a converter.

Yes, once the physical installation is complete, a sensor calibration is required to ensure data accuracy. This procedure is performed directly from the configuration menu of the Raymarine display to which it is connected.

This sensor measures and provides two essential data types for navigation:

Wind speed (via its anemometer cups). Wind direction (via its vane).

Yes, for a connection to an i70, i70s, ST70 or ST70+ display, the use of an iTC-5 converter or a compatible sensor pod is essential. Direct connection is not possible with these models.

This sensor model, part number E22078, is supplied with a 30-metre (98.4 ft) cable.

Yes. The manufacturer's manual states that marine-grade sealant may be required if the mounting surface is not flat. Additionally, applying dielectric grease to connectors is common practice to prevent corrosion.

Yes, it is possible to order spare parts. The Raymarine service kit with part number A28167 includes the wind vane, counterweight, anemometer cups, and replacement screws.

Secure the cable to prevent movement and damage. Use a watertight cable gland to pass through the deck or a bulkhead. Avoid routing the cable near high-current cables (AC or DC) to prevent signal interference.

The weight of the product, including the sensor and its 30m cable, is 1.4 kg (sensor 0.2 kg, cable 1.2 kg).

This transducer can be connected directly, without a converter, to the following Raymarine displays:

i60 Wind Series
ST60+ Wind Series

The total height of the short-arm sensor, from its mounting base to the top of the cups, is 538.5 mm (21.20 inches).

To avoid damaging the cable during installation, it is important to maintain a minimum bending radius of 100 mm (3.94 inches).

The short-arm sensor is ideal for small sailboats or motorboats. Its design aims to reduce weight and windage at the masthead, where turbulence generated by sails is less likely to affect the measurement.

No, this sensor is specifically designed to operate within the Raymarine instrument ecosystem. Compatibility with equipment from other brands is not guaranteed and is not supported.
