1.3 SENSORS
1.3.1 Masthead Unit
The Masthead Unit measures the wind speed and angle at
the masthead. A choice of units is available; Four sizes of
Vertical Masthead Unit, including some available in ‘Ocean
Specification’ for special applications. A standard 450mm
(17.5”) horizontal unit is also available.
1.3.2 Ultrasonic Speed Sensor
The Ultrasonic Speed Sensor provides highly accurate and
stable boat speed measurement. The Ultrasonic Speed
Sensor has no moving parts and requires minimal
maintenance. The transducer can be fitted flush with the
hull, creating zero drag, and can be painted, or anti-fouled
over. The Ultrasonic Speed Sensor processes the sensor
signals for use by the h2000 Main Processor, which then
generates the boat speed and log functions.
1.3.3 Paddle-Wheel Speed Sensor
The Paddle-Wheel Speed Sensor is designed primarily for
cruising yachts and consists of a paddle-wheel which
protrudes through the hull via a housing. To enable regular
cleaning of the paddle-wheel, the housing is provided with a
flap valve which closes automatically when the unit is
pulled back into the yacht.
1.3.4 Halcyon 2000 Compass
The Halcyon 2000 Compass is a high performance
electronic fluxgate compass for use on both sailing and
power craft. It is designed to connect to h2000 systems
through the B&G Fastnet Network.
