    OMC-160 Wind speed &

    direction sensor
    The popular and often used wind sensor OMC-160 is a
    combined wind speed and direction sensor, based on the
    cup and vane principle. Having chosen for the highest
    quality stainless steel materials and internal non-contact
    measuring devices, this sensor stands for a long life time,
    having the highest accuracies within both the low range as
    well as the high range wind speeds. This sensor is com-
    monly used within the shipping and offshore industry but
    can also be found on many airfields, container terminals
    and harbours, along highways and on bridges.

    Features:
    • High accuracy sensor
    • Approved by CAA
    • Contact free sensing elements
    • High reliability in every environment
    • All expoced parts in Stainless steel
    • Serial TTY output or NMEA0183 (selectable)
    • Cable length up to 1000 m (4 core)
    • Heated option available
    • NATO stock no: 6660-17-112-7536

    ACCURACY
    The wind sensor comes with a vertical mounting bracket ● Wind speed: better than 2% FRO
    which includes a junction box and two u-bolds for mast ● Wind direction: better than 3 degrees
    mounting ● Speed range: 0,3…75 m/s

    Observator has an in-house wind tunnel facility but is also


    able to provide a third party, traceable wind tunnel test
    certificate. This can be ordered as type number OMC-154
    and will be drawn up by the University of Brussels.

    The Observator range is in continuous development and so specifications may be subject to change without prior notice
