Vaisala AviMet Weather Panel Display WID513 is designed for viewing real-time measurements from Vaisala wind, temperature, and pressure sensors in aviation applications, in accordance with the latest ICAO standards and recommendations.
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.
On the settings pages an authorized user can type station specific parameters, such as declination and airport elevation.
Several data pages are available, for ATC users and for MET users. A data page contains the data from one sensor site, for example, wind measurement data fields, wind rose, and temperature, dew point, and relative humidity data.
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.
