RAYMARINE RSW Wired Smart Performance Wind Transducer – E70670

Description

The Raymarine RSW Wired Smart Wind transducer is a professional-level sailing wind sensor engineered for more accurate apparent and true wind data. It combines a precision wind sensor with integrated 3D motion sensing so the system can compensate for vessel pitch and roll and improve true-wind calculations without relying on large external processor boxes.

Main Features

• Integrated 3D motion sensor compensates for vessel pitch and roll.
• Self-calibrating Smart Wind technology improves true wind speed and direction accuracy.
• Designed for performance sailing with support for polar and advanced true-wind calculations.
• Compensation for sail upwash and mast movement helps stabilize calculated wind data.
• Wired masthead installation supplied with a long mast cable for dependable data transmission.

Performance sailing data

Accurate true wind is fundamental for sail trim, VMG and polar analysis. Smart Wind uses motion data to correct the raw apparent-wind measurement before it is presented to compatible Raymarine displays.

Installation and calibration

The masthead sensor must be aligned correctly and installed in clean airflow. The motion-compensation system reduces the manual calibration burden but cannot correct poor physical placement.

System integration

Use with compatible Raymarine instrument and chartplotter systems to display apparent/true wind and support sailing calculations and autopilot wind-vane steering.
