MPN: WS-200WX
The Airmar 200WX WeatherStation is a standalone weather instrument built for moving platforms and fixed installations alike. It packs ultrasonic wind sensing, a stabilized 3-axis electronic compass, barometric pressure, air temperature, and internal positioning into a single compact, rugged housing rated to IPX6. With no moving parts in the wind sensor, it reads apparent and true wind reliably on vehicles, buoys, and vessels in motion. Shooters, surveyors, and field crews who need verified wind and environmental data in one self-contained unit will find this a practical fit. It belongs alongside our other marine navigation instruments for boat and mobile setups.
The 200WX uses ultrasonic sensors to measure wind speed and direction without cups or vanes, which means nothing wears out in the airflow path. The integrated 10 Hz positioning receiver delivers roughly 3 meter position accuracy, while the stabilized 3-axis compass holds 1 degree static and 2 degree dynamic heading accuracy. Barometric pressure reads across 300 to 1100 hPa at plus or minus 0.5 hPa, and air temperature is accurate to plus or minus 1.1 degrees C at 20 degrees C. The unit runs on 9 to 40 volts and draws under 75 milliamps at 12 volts. Output is user-selectable up to 10 Hz across standard marine data formats and serial protocols. It mounts on a standard 1-inch 14-thread post, with a 3/4-inch pipe-thread option.
Because everything lives in one weatherproof body, the 200WX suits applications where a full weather mast is impractical: news vehicles, research buoys, unmanned surface vessels, and military platforms that move while collecting data. On a boat, it feeds wind, heading, and barometric trends straight into your display network for real-time decisions. Note that the connecting cable is sold separately. If you're wiring it into an existing network, browse our cables and sensors and pair it with a compass or display from our marine catalog to round out the install.
No. The cable is sold separately and is not packaged with the instrument. The 200WX connects over standard marine data formats and serial protocols, so you'll want to match the cable to your network and the model variant you ordered. Check our cables and sensors section to find the right connection for your setup.
The standard 200WX is rated to IPX6, which covers heavy spray and weather exposure on open platforms. An IPX7-rated variant is also offered for submersion conditions. Some configurations with the optional relative humidity sensor carry a different rating, so confirm the variant matches your environment before installing.
Yes. The 200WX was built for mobile platforms. Its stabilized 3-axis compass and internal positioning correct readings while the unit is in motion, which is why it shows up on news vehicles, research buoys, unmanned surface vessels, and military platforms. The ultrasonic wind sensor has no moving parts to wear out during travel.
It reports apparent and true wind speed and direction, barometric pressure across 300 to 1100 hPa, air temperature accurate to plus or minus 1.1 degrees C, heading from the stabilized compass, plus pitch, roll, and position from the internal receiver. All of this comes from one compact housing with no external sensor array.
The instrument threads onto a standard 1-inch 14-thread post, with a 3/4-inch pipe-thread option available. Position it where airflow is clear of obstructions for accurate wind readings, and orient it per the alignment marks so the compass and wind data reference correctly to your platform.
