12. Coastal Shipboard Products WEATHERPAK®
Unique features of the WEATHERPAK® – Physical
WEATHERPAK® contains ALL the standard sensors and eliminates ALL cables and ALL connectors. (Cables and connectors are the weakest point on any marine system.)
WEATHERPAK® is Double O-Ring Sealed. All electronics are protected with this seal. There is NO desiccant to change out or any maintenance!
WEATHERPAK® external housing is constructed of MILITARY-STANDARD T6 anti-corrosive aluminum.
External housing is coated with a baked-on thermoplastic resin.
A WEATHERPAK® can be removed or replaced in service in less than 60 seconds.
Most sensors can be replaced or removed in less than 60 minutes.
EVERY wire in or out is protected from radar, radios and electrical interference.

13. Coastal Shipboard Products WEATHERPAK®
Unique features of the WEATHERPAK® – Functional
WEATHERPAK® can measure and calculate BOTH True and Relative Winds in any situation (using the built-in GPS and Compass combined)
Dual WEATHERPAK® systems can perform Auto- Upwind switching – so that the best data is always reported to the ship’s systems (manual override is also provided)
Other sensors can be added in addition to the standard; common add-on sensors are: Water temperature, Visibility, Solar radiation (global, long, short wave)
Compass is at top of WEATHERPAK® and not much affected by ship’s metal – but if necessary compass can be “swung” for calibration

14. Coastal Shipboard Products WEATHERPAK®
Unique features of the WEATHERPAK® – Software/firmware
WEATHERPAK® can be set to average data at any rate – typically it is set for a 5 second average
WEATHERPAK® has an auto-reboot if it encounters any problem during operation
Any sensor can be added at any time (follow manual instructions)
Firmware is optimized for weather and environmental measurements and calculations
Alarms can be set on any measurement or calculation
Can send out NMEA-0183, ASCII or other formats or several different formats to different ships systems
Supports repeaters
11/16/2018

15. Coastal Shipboard Products ZENO®
ZENO® is the best system for ships that conduct different ongoing research voyages
ZENO® is contained in a NEMA 4 enclosure
Enclosure allows easy access to wire new or temporary sensors
Firmware is easy to configure for new sensors – even serial sensors (RS-232, RS-485, ttl)
Sample rates/times/adjustments are simple and easy
Supports NMEA 0183 and repeaters
Does not do True Winds

16. Coastal Shipboard Products C-5 SAM/NTM
C-5 SAM/NTM is a good economical workhorse
Electronics sealed in aluminum enclosure
Enclosure is protected by baked on thermoplastic resin
Sensors integrated into a single sensor head
Performs a 5 second average of data
Comes with display, and can forward data in NMEA 0183
Supports repeaters
Does not do True Winds
