Lillie and Gillie Walker 2050 Mk2 Wind Speed and Direction System
The Walker 2050MK2 uses a Combined Anemometer Cup & Vane Direction Sensor, the P296. The Sensor connects directly to a standard Walker DIN 144 wind speed & direction indicator, the P249, which gives digital displays of relative wind speed & direction. Wind direction is also displayed on a simulated analogue display by 72 LEDs. True wind systems are available by using this sensor with the Walker P1066 True Wind Interface Unit.
