Overview

The 32500 Electronic Compass/Serial Interface provides accurate magnetic heading indication for use with RM Young wind direction sensors. Ideal for mobile and portable applications, the 32500 utilizes the proven Vector 2X compass module for accurate magnetic heading data. The compass module is combined with high-resolution interface circuitry to generate useful "true" wind data from the wind sensor. Auxiliary sensor inputs allow connection of other meteorological sensors such as temperature, humidity and barometric pressure sensors. All analog signals are converted to serial format for clear transmission. The 32500 is supplied in a weather-resistant enclosure and comes with a mounting adapter to fit on the same vertical mast as RM YOUNG wind sensors. Read More

Technical Description

The Model 32500 ELECTRONIC COMPASS measures magnetic heading, wind speed and direction signals from RM YOUNG sensors, and signals from four general purpose voltage inputs. Wind direction input may be combined with compass measurements to obtain true direction. Voltage inputs may be used with RM YOUNG temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and other sensors. One voltage input may be confi gured for connection to a tipping bucket precipitation gauge. Measurements are available in several serial data formats in either full duplex RS-232 or half-duplex RS-485 signals. Both continuous and polled serial outputs are available. When polled, up to 16 units can be networked together. For marine applications the 32500 produces standard NMEA serial output sentences. Calibrated voltage outputs for wind speed and direction are also provided when the 32500 is connected to an RM YOUNG wind sensor.
