220WX provides ultrasonic wind, temperature, pressure, GPS, and compass data with IPX6 durability—ideal for mobile commercial marine weather monitoring. Read more.
The AIRMAR 220WX WeatherStation Instrument is a high-performance, solid-state marine weather sensor designed for professional applications that require accurate true wind, apparent wind, and full environmental monitoring. As part of the WX Series, it integrates solid-state wind measurement, barometric pressure, temperature and humidity sensors, GPS, electronic compass, and a dynamic 3-axis accelerometer. The system uses these combined inputs to deliver motion-corrected wind data with no moving parts, ensuring long-term reliability and fast, stable performance.
This model is built for vessels operating in dynamic conditions where pitch, roll, and vessel motion significantly affect measurements. It is ideal for commercial workboats, patrol craft, research vessels, high-speed platforms, and offshore installations. With GPS, compass, and accelerometer-based motion compensation, the 220WX provides accurate wind readings even during rapid maneuvers, making it suitable for demanding operational environments.
Solid-state wind measurement: Captures apparent wind speed and direction with no moving parts.
True wind calculation: Integrates GPS, compass, and motion data for accurate true wind output.
3-axis accelerometer: Provides pitch, roll, and motion compensation.

The 220WX should be mounted at a clear, unobstructed location to ensure accurate wind, motion, and environmental readings. An elevated mast position is recommended to minimize airflow distortion and interference from structures or exhaust sources. All wiring must be routed using watertight grommets and marine-approved connectors. Proper integration with the NMEA network is essential to maintain correct synchronization of GPS, compass, and motion-compensated wind outputs.
