Instrument
PB200, NMEA 0183 & NMEA 2000
®
The PB200 WeatherStation instrument
informs you of instantaneous changes in
the weather. Wind Speed and Direction are
measured using four ultrasonic transducers.
No moving parts results in better durability
and reliability. The internal WAAS GPS
engine and three-axis solid-state compass
make it possible for the PB200 to provide
both Apparent and True Wind Speed and
Direction without the need to add additional
sensors. The WAAS GPS provides
navigation data as well as magnetic
variation and is suitable as your primary
GPS source. The internal temperature and
barometric pressure sensors help predict
changing weather patterns. Combined with
the internal heading sensor, most of your
navigation needs are provided! No other
sensor on the market incorporates all of
these features in one compact housing.
What sets us apart from the competition
and the original PB100 is the ability
to provide 2° heading accuracy under
dynamic conditions, such as rough seas.
Airmar’s unique dynamic motion correction
software is the key difference. The PB200’s
heading is highly accurate and stable
under most sea conditions—even if the
vessel is pitching and rolling up to 30° in
rough seas. Also unique to the PB200 is
that the 3D accelerometer and rate gyro
are temperature compensated, resulting in
precise tilt and rate of turn data. This allows
the PB200 to accurately measure True Wind
Speed and Direction even when tilted up to
30°.
