B&G WS320 Wireless Wind Sensor including Wireless Interface
Model: 000-14383-001A high precision wireless wind sensor from B&G, designed for cruising and club racing sailors. The WS320 wireless wind sensor pack offers a high-performance solution, with exceptional data accuracy and improved aerodynamics, which is easy to install.
Designed to provide highly accurate wind data in all conditions, at all points of sail and heel. The WS320 has been benchmarked against multiple different sensors in over 500 individual wind tunnel tests.
Easy to install and light-weight, ideal for smaller boats * - without compromising performance for wireless convenience. The WS320 has the same accuracy (both wind angle and wind speed) as the wired version, while outputting wind at a supper smooth 5 times every second.
As the most exposed sensor on a yacht, the wind sensor - critical for instruments and autopilot steering - must meet an exceptionally high standard. In addition to B&G's extreme testing program, the WS320 sensors have been subject to combined field tests of over 200,000 hours.
* Note: for mast heights up to 25m (80 feet), subject to individual installation and local variables.

The B&G WS320 Wireless Wind Sensor with Interface, part number 000-14383-001, is a high-precision wireless wind sensor designed for marine applications, specifically cruising and club racing sailboats. This system provides accurate wind data without the need for mast cabling, simplifying installation. It is suitable for mast heights up to 25m (80 feet), subject to installation specifics. The sensor delivers apparent wind speed and angle at a 5 Hz output rate, matching the accuracy of wired alternatives. Its low power consumption and solar-powered design ensure continuous operation. The included wireless receiver interface connects to a Micro-C network, drawing 9-16 V DC. This product addresses the need for reliable, high-performance wind data where ease of installation and reduced cabling are priorities, offering a robust solution for critical instrument and autopilot steering functions on compatible vessels.
The receiver interface operates on a 9-16 V DC power supply via a Micro-C network. It has a power consumption of 1.2 W, drawing less than 100 mA at 12 V DC.
The wireless connectivity between the WS320 sensor and its interface is effective up to 30 meters (98 feet).
The sensor provides wind speed accuracy of +/- 0.1 m/sec (0.2 kt) for speeds between 1 and 40 m/sec (2 and 80 kt). Its full operational wind speed range is 0.25 to 50 m/sec (0.5 to 97 knots).
