Furuno Wind Transducer w/30M Cable

The Furuno Wind Transducer with 30M Cable (FI5001/30M) is a precision analog wind measurement instrument designed for integration with Furuno's FI50 and FI70 series marine instrument displays. This wind transducer delivers the accuracy required for navigation, weather monitoring, and tactical deck operations aboard fishing vessels, patrol boats, and offshore platforms where real-time wind data directly impacts operational decisions.

The FI5001 sensor achieves wind angle accuracy of better than ±10° and wind speed accuracy exceeding ±5% at 20 knots—specifications that matter because they determine whether course corrections are based on precise atmospheric conditions or degraded readings. Operating on a 12VDC system with power consumption under 40 mA, the transducer integrates into low-power marine electrical architecture without demanding dedicated circuits or amplification. The included 30-meter cable eliminates common installation delays; running from mast-mounted sensor to below-deck display requires no field modifications or adapter procurement. Wind transducer calibration in marine environments is critical, and Furuno's engineering ensures readings track true wind speed and direction across the full operating envelope.

This wind transducer suits commercial fishing operations, recreational offshore anglers, marine research platforms, and vessel operators who rely on automated weather integration rather than visual estimation. Weekend boaters upgrading legacy analog instruments benefit from Furuno's reputation for marine-grade durability, while professional crews depend on the transducer's repeatability for drift calculation and tactical maneuvering. The sensor pairs directly with compatible Furuno display units, delivering wind data to integrated navigation and autopilot systems where precision wind measurement reduces fuel consumption and improves course stability in variable conditions.
