Masthead sensors for all sizes of craft
01 May 2004
Since Lilley & Gillie acquired Walker Marine in 2002 the combined company has been developing advanced navigational instruments and nautical equipment. The company says this new range of sensors is the first of the Walker products to be completely re-engineered since the acquisition.
The new sensors use solid state principles for wind speed and direction and they say as there are no calibration requirements it allows simpler installation of multi indicator systems. In addition all processing will be carried out within each unit.
The housing of each sensor is made of anodised aluminium, which provides a hard scratch resistant, corrosion proof surface. The vane and cup units have a non-contact sensing operation with less moving parts giving less friction, better reliability and longer life.
Lillie & Gillie say the range of five sensors is suitable for small craft to large vessels.
