1 Product Overview Thank you for choosing the ULP NMEA2000 wind meter from Calypso Instruments. This is the first model of the ULP NMEA2000 of our Generation II ULPs, representing an important technology breakthrough condensing an extensive R+D investment: Both shape and firmware have been enhanced for an improved rain performance. This is key for static applications such as weather stations.
Before installing the unit: 1. Plug in the ULP NMEA2000 to the NMEA2000 cable/backbone. 2. On your display/plotter, choose the ULP NMEA2000 as the wind source in the settings. *The manner to do this will vary depending on the brand of the display/plot- ter.
Ultrasonic transducers (4x) 3.5 Sensors Sample rate: 1 Hertz The ULP NMEA2000 has been designed to avoid any mechanical parts to maximize reliability and minimize maintenance. The transducers communicate between themselves two by two using ultrasonic range waves. Each pair of transductors calculates the signal delay and get information about both wind direction and wind speed.
All accessories can be found on our website at www.calypsoinstruments.com. The ULP NMEA2000 can be mounted on our specifically-designed mast mount for the ULP NMEA2000 as shown in the following photo. ULP NMEA2000...

6.1. General recommendations Regarding mounting the unit, the mast head has to be prepared for the mechanical insta- llation. Align the North mark of the ULP NMEA2000 to the bow for maximum accuracy of wind angle. Make sure to install the sensor in a location for example, the mast head on a boat, where it is free from any object that may obstruct the flow of wind to the sensors within a 2 meter radius.
