вступ
The Furuno 200WX Ultrasonic Weather Station is an advanced, all-in-one sensor designed to provide essential weather readings with high precision and accuracy. It detects instantaneous changes in weather conditions and operates continuously, even in adverse environments. This station measures apparent and true wind speed and direction, air temperature, and wind chill temperature. It also integrates a 3-Axis solid-state compass and a 3-Axis Rate Gyro for superior compass and pitch/roll accuracy. The 200WX supports both CanBUS/NMEA2000 and NMEA 0183 connectivity, allowing direct connection to compatible marine navigation systems like NavNet TZtouch/NavNet 3D DRS Radar sensors. Power is supplied via the NMEA 2000 bus, facilitating flexible installation. Its UV-stabilized, compact, and fully waterproof housing is resistant to chemicals and sunlight, ensuring durability.

Усунення несправностей
This section provides solutions to common issues you may encounter with your 200WX Weather Station.
No Data Displayed
- Перевірте живлення: Ensure the NMEA 2000 bus is powered and the 200WX unit is receiving power.
- Кабельні з'єднання: Verify that the NMEA 2000 cable is securely connected to both the 200WX and the network.
- Конфігурація мережі: Confirm that your display unit is correctly configured to receive data from the NMEA 2000 network. Refer to your display unit's manual.
Inaccurate Wind Readings
- Перешкоди: Check for any physical obstructions near the unit that could be interfering with wind flow (e.g., mast, rigging, other sensors).
- Місце монтажу: Ensure the unit is mounted in a location with clear, undisturbed airflow.
- Чистота датчика: Clean the ultrasonic transducers as described in the Maintenance section.
Incorrect Compass/Pitch/Roll Data
- Калібрування: If available, perform a compass calibration procedure on your connected display unit or through the 200WX configuration.
- Магнітні перешкоди: Ensure the unit is not mounted too close to strong magnetic fields (e.g., large metal objects, electrical cables).
