WS320 Senzor de vânt fără fir fără interfață

This product, part number 000-14390-001, is a replacement unit. It is intended for owners who already have a B&G WS320 wireless wind system and need to replace only the masthead sensor (vane anemometer) due to damage or loss. It does not include the NMEA 2000 network connection interface.

This pack contains the essential components for replacing the masthead sensor:

The WS320 wind sensor
The mast bracket
The internal battery
A sealing gasket
Mounting hardware (4 No.10 x 5/8 screws)
Important: The Bluetooth to NMEA 2000 interface (base station) is not included.

Yes, if you do not already own one. This product is only the sensor. To connect it to your NMEA 2000 network and display the data on your displays, you absolutely need the corresponding B&G Bluetooth interface (base station), which is sold separately or as part of the WS320 complete pack.

No, one of the main advantages of the WS320 sensor is its fully wireless design. There are no data or power cables to run inside the mast, which greatly simplifies installation and eliminates a common failure point.

The sensor is self-powered. It features an integrated solar panel that recharges an internal battery. This design ensures continuous operation without requiring external power.

The WS320 sensor provides high precision for demanding sailors:

Wind angle accuracy: +/- 0.5° Wind angle resolution: 0.1° Wind speed accuracy: +/- 0.1 m/s (0.2 kt) Wind speed resolution: 0.05 m/s (0.1 kt)

The WS320 wind transducer transmits apparent wind data at a 5 Hz frequency, i.e., five times per second. This high refresh rate ensures high responsiveness of instruments and autopilot.

Yes. Once paired with its Bluetooth/NMEA 2000 interface (not included with this model), the WS320 system sends data over the NMEA 2000 network using standard PGNs. It is therefore compatible with most certified NMEA 2000 multifunction displays and modern instruments, regardless of brand.

The low-power Bluetooth wireless connection between the masthead sensor and its base station has a range of up to 30 meters (98 feet).

Yes, the WS320 sensor is designed to withstand the harshest marine conditions at the masthead. It has dual IPX6 and IPX7 waterproof certifications.

The WS320 wind sensor weighs 0.32 kg (0.7 lbs), which helps minimize weight at the top of the rig.

Yes, the masthead bracket is included in this kit, along with the necessary mounting hardware.

Yes, the internal battery required for the sensor operation is included in the box with this part number 000-14390-001.

Yes, it is possible, but this sensor alone is not sufficient. To replace a wired system, you will need to purchase the WS320 Bluetooth/NMEA 2000 interface. It is often simpler to buy the complete WS320 pack (sensor + interface) for a first wireless installation.

To ensure accurate wind angle measurements, it is crucial that the sensor is perfectly aligned with the boat's longitudinal axis. The front of the sensor must point directly toward the bow.

The sensor communicates with its base station via Bluetooth Low Energy technology on the 2.4 GHz frequency band.

Yes, absolutely. This part number 000-14390-001 is specifically designed as a replacement unit for an existing WS320 sensor. It is ideal if your masthead sensor is broken but your onboard interface (base station) is still functional.

The wireless Bluetooth connection between the WS320 masthead sensor and its base station has a maximum range of 30 meters (approximately 98 feet).

Pairing is done via Bluetooth between the sensor and its dedicated base station. The pairing process is managed through the base station (not included in this pack). Once paired, the sensor will automatically connect to its base when within range.

The sensor uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to communicate with its base station, ensuring a reliable connection and excellent battery life.
