Vaisala AviMet Wind Panel Display WID511 is designed for viewing real-time measurements from Vaisala wind sensors in aviation applications, in accordance with the latest ICAO standards and recommendations. The wind data pages have been designed for operative use, such as air traffic towers, and contain a wind rose and wind data fields in alphanumeric format from one sensor site.

The display uses a compact 5.7‑inch LCD screen suitable for aviation-related operating environments such as air traffic control towers, where excellent readability in both bright and dim light is required.

The display is controlled using a resistive touch screen which can be operated with bare or gloved hands. By firmly tapping items on the screen you can navigate between the available data pages and change the basic display settings, such as brightness, or select between day and night display modes.

There are visual and audible alarms to warn of serious events such as sensor or system failures.

Advanced settings are protected by a PIN code which is required to access the maintenance mode. This prevents unauthorized changes to the settings.

The display can be mounted in different ways depending on where it is installed:

  • The display can be easily mounted on a standard IEC panel with a 138 × 138 mm aperture size and a 144 × 144 mm face size.
  • The display can be mounted on a panel, desktop, or wall using the display stand included as standard.
