1. Weatherpak®: True winds - Different types are:

Single point,

Dual point (port and starboard),

Multiple point (port, starboard, aft, below decks)

2. Zeno®: Relative winds

Dual or multiple point (3-8 “stations”)

3. C-5 SAM™/N: Relative winds

Single point

Coastal Shipboard Products Weatherpak®

•Unique features of the Weatherpak® - Physical

•Weatherpak® contains ALL the standard sensors and eliminates ALL cables and ALL connectors. (Cables and connectors are the weakest point on any marine system).

•Weatherpak ® is Double O-Ring Sealed. All electronics are protected with this seal. There is NO desiccant to change out or any maintenance!

•Weatherpak ® external housing is constructed of MILITARY STANDARD 6061-T6 anti-corrosive aluminum.

•External housing is coated with a baked-on thermoplastic resin.

•A Weatherpak ® can be removed or replaced in service in less than 60 seconds.

•Most sensors can be replaced or removed in less than 60 minutes.

•EVERY wire in or out is protected from radar, radios and electrical interference.

•Unique features of the Weatherpak® - Functional•Weatherpak ® can measure and calculate

BOTH True and Relative winds in any situation (using the built-in GPS and Compass combined)

•Dual Weatherpak ® systems can perform Auto-Upwind Switching – so that always the best data is reported to the ships systems (manual override is also provided)

•Other sensors can be added in addition to the standard. Common add-on sensors are: water temperature, visibility, solar radiation (global, long, short wave).

•Compass is at top of Weatherpak ® and not much affected by ships metal – but if necessary compass can be “swung” for calibration.

Shown with optional NO Moving parts wind sensor

•Weatherpak ® can be set to average data at any rate – typically it is set for a 5 second average.

•Weatherpak ® has an auto-reboot if it encounters any problem during operation

•Any sensor can be added at any time (follow manual instructions)

•Firmware is optimized for weather and environmental measurements and calculations

•Alarms can be set on any measurement or calculation

•Can send out NMEA-0183, ASCII or other formats or several different formats to different ships systems

•Supports Repeaters

Unique features of the Weatherpak® – Software/firmware

Coastal Shipboard Products Zeno®

•Zeno® is best system for ships that conduct different on-going research voyages.•Zeno® is contained in a NEMA

4 enclosure •Enclosure allows easy access to wire up new or temporary sensors•Firmware is easy to configure for new sensors – even serial sensors (RS-232, RS-485, TTL)•Sample rates / times / adjustments are simple and easy•Supports NMEA 0183 and Repeaters•Does not do – True winds


04/19/23 13

Coastal Shipboard Products C-5 SAM™/N

•C-5 SAM™/N is a good economical workhorse

•Electronics sealed in Aluminum enclosure•Enclosure is protected by baked on thermoplastic resin•Sensors integrated into a single sensor-head•Performs a 5 second average of data•Comes with display, and can forward data in NMEA 0183•Supports Repeaters•Does not do – True winds
