Product overview

The RSW-Wired is a short arm Smart Wind transducer system designed for performance sailors.

Product overview

The RSW-Wired Smart Wind transducer is a precision instrument, combining a high performance AHRS 3D sensor with intelligent onboard data processing — no external processing unit required. The integrated design provides a greatly simplified installation and low-latency vane response times.

The RSW-Wired Smart Wind transducer has the following features:

• 3D sensor and Smart Wind technology deliver improved wind speed and direction stability from tack to tack, by compensating for:

  • Boat speed.

  • Leeway.

  • Mast twist and bend.

  • Mast rotation.

  • Dynamic vessel motion (pitch and roll).

  • Sail effects (upwash calculations).

• Embedded 9-axis Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) sensor:

  • gyro operating on 3 axis.

  • accelerometer operating on 3 axis.

  • magnetometer operating on 3 axis.

• Highly accurate measurement of wind speed and direction — no calibration tables needed.

• Precision design for increased accuracy.

• Lightweight arm design with rigid carbon construction.

• NMEA 2000 wired gateway included, for connection to SeaTalk NG or DeviceNet backbones.
