Furuno 200WX Brochure
200WX
Airmar’s WeatherCaster™ software (shown
here on a Furuno TZtouch Multifunction
Display) is included with the 200WX
WeatherStation
®
instrument.
Delivering an Accurate,
Aordable, All-in-One Unit
The all-in-one weather sensor measures apparent wind
speed and direction, barometric pressure, air temperature,
relative humidity, dew point and wind chill temperature.
In addition, with the internal compass and GPS, true wind
speed and direction can also be calculated. The UV stabilized,
compact housing is fully waterproof and resistant to
chemicals and sunlight.
The 200WX oers a truly best-in-class solution at a better
price point than any other weather monitoring system on
the market today.

Humidity and temperature readings compared to Vaisala® Instruments
* When the wind speed is less than 2 m/s (4.6 MPH) and/or air temperature is below 0°C (32°F), wind,
temperature, and relative humidity readings will be less accurate.
** Wet conditions include moisture, rain, frost, dew, snow, ice and/or sea spray in the wind channel.
