Reliable weather forecasts are essential when navigating.
Therefore VION's R&D Department developed a "special marine"
electronic barometer specially designed for navigation and which
has many elaborated functions to assist decision-making.
Barometer : detects even the
smallest pressure variation - professional accuracy +/- 0.5 hPa Night navigation : basic light
incorporated Low consumption : requires 2
LR03 batteries, average battery life= 1 year.
- Graph indicating the pressure
changes over the previous 24 hours
- Zoom : a focused view of
the air pressure changes over the previous 6 or 12 hours.
Elaborated functions to assist decision-making.
"Detect a reversal of the pressure trend". HIST
FUNCTION: immediate recall and visualization on the graph of the
minimum and maximum pressure over the last 24 hours.
"See the evolution of the pressure trend (change of watch)":
MEM FUNCTION: with immediate display of a situation stored and visualization
on the graph.
"Foresee the arrival of low pressure or of an approaching
anticyclonic wedge": ALARM FUNCTION: with adjustable sensitivity.
Gale warning system: pressure drop = 4hPa within a 3-hour
period.
Continuous safety: running reserve allowing batteries to
be changed without loss of information.
