GENERAL DESCRIPTION AANDERAA INSTRUMENTS

The Wind Display Panel (WDP) 3300/3400

forms, together with the wind sensors and sensor cable, a
Wind Monitoring System designed for installation on ships.
The Display Panel, measuring 288x 192x 28 mm, can easily
be installed in a console on the bridge. Another version
designated 3400 is made for wall or overhead installation.
Both versions have a light dimmer for night operation.

wind speed and direction is performed by 2 circles (75 mm)

of Light Emitting Diodes. This indication is primarily intended
Wind Speed Sensor 2740 Wind Direction Sensor 3590 for a quick reference and a more accurate indication is
shown digitally just below the circles by light emitting displays;
the wind speed (m/s or knots) with 1 decimal and wind
direction with a resolution of 1°. Both values are average wind
for the last 10 second period, updated every 2.5 seconds
and are relative to the ship’s movement and center line.
Different scalings are available, to be specified when
ordering. Receptacles for input/output signals in RS-232C
format makes it possible to use the panels as slave indicators.
Interconnect with Cable 3282 (maximum length: 50 meters).

Sensor Bracket 3494 The output signal complies with the NMEA0183
standard for connection to ships’ computers via Cable 3376.
When the system is used for land-based
applications. the reference for the wind direction will be
magnetic North.
Sensor Cable 3324
Wind Speed Sensor 2740
is a rugged waterproof sensor that measures the wind
speed relative to the ship’s movement. The revolutions of a
three cup rotor are counted electronically over 2.5 second
intervals and routed to the Wind Display Panel (WDP). The
