AIRMAR ULTRA SONIC WEATHER STATION PB150

AIRMAR ULTRA SONIC WEATHER STATION PB150 Sensing a Change in Your Weather The enhanced PB150 Ultrasonic WeatherStation® Instrument features higher-accuracy temperature readings and improved wind speed and direction accuracy. WeatherCaster™ PC Software version 2.0 puts your own personal weatherman on-board the boat, 24 hours a day. The easy-to-use program has multiple screen views and advanced setup features to customize what you want to see. No Computer on board— no problem, just connect the PB150 to a NMEA 0183 display* for up-to-the-minute weather information. Before Leaving the Dock— Decide if you want to spend your day on the water. Anticipate weather fronts by checking the wind speed and direction, temperature, and barometric pressure. Check the weather history graphs, as the WeatherCaster™ Software can store readings for up to 72 hours. Underway— Monitor up-to-the-minute weather conditions at your location. See where and when the fish will bite best based on wind conditions and a rising or falling barometer. Docking— The on-board PC or chart plotter can display true wind data to make docking a vessel in high wind a breeze. Sense a change in your weather with the PB150 Ultrasonic WeatherStation® Instrument. * NMEA 0183 display must be able to read the specific WeatherStation data sentences.
