This version is for Europe installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wireless layout keeps installation simpler than a fully wired wind, speed and depth system. The wind transmitter mounts at the masthead, the triducer installs through the hull for depth, speed and temperature, and the hull transmitter sends the transducer data to the cockpit displays over the Micronet wireless network.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe displays can be positioned where the crew can read them while steering, trimming or checking depth on approach. For best results, the frequency version should match the onboard Raymarine wireless components already installed on the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eElectrical and system integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe T111 and T112 displays use solar charging with internal batteries, reducing the amount of wiring needed around the helm or bulkhead. The T121 hull transmitter uses an internal lithium battery with up to 300 hours of disconnected operation and can also be powered from the boat’s DC system or charged with an optional solar panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor boats that need data shared outside the wireless instrument network, NMEA integration requires an optional interface. Wired SeaTalkng integration for the wind transmitter can also be handled through an optional MicroTalk gateway when the rest of the boat electronics are built around a Raymarine wired network.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis system suits sailboats where a clean cockpit installation and reduced mast wiring are important. It is especially useful for owners refitting older instruments, race crews that need wind and speed data visible from the cockpit, and cruisers who want depth and speed information without building a large wired instrument network.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT111 multifunctional wireless dual display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT112 multifunctional wireless analog display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT121 hull transmitter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT910 through-hull depth, speed and temperature triducer with flush mount fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT120 wireless wind transmitter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Raymarine","offers":[{"title":"916MHz","offer_id":52581983387829,"sku":"QBP895492-V1","price":2309.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"868MHz","offer_id":52581983420597,"sku":"QBP895492-V2","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1335198_qbp895492.webp?v=1780202048"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/collections\/windvanes.oembed","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
