YOUNG WIND TRACKER
R.M. Young Company USA
Refurbished
The R.M. YOUNG Model 06206 Marine Wind Tracker is a compact professional wind speed and wind direction display designed specifically with features suitable for shipboard use. It provides bridge personnel with continuous information about wind speed, wind direction, maximum wind speed and wind variability. R.M. Young specifies relative wind angle and NMEA serial I/O among the model's marine-oriented capabilities.
The equipment in the supplied SM MARINE SERVICE™ photograph consists of a YOUNG Wind Tracker display together with a mechanical propeller-type wind sensor and direction vane. The display face visibly carries the YOUNG WIND TRACKER marking. The photograph itself does not show a readable sensor model/part-number plate, so the exact sensor model should not be assumed from appearance alone.

R.M. Young Company manufactures professional meteorological instrumentation and provides the Model 06206 specifically as its Marine Wind Tracker.
The Model 06206 Marine Wind Tracker receives information from a compatible wind sensor and presents the measurements in an easy-to-read bridge display.
Wind speed is shown digitally, while wind direction is indicated around a circular LED compass pattern. The right-hand digital window can show maximum wind speed or numerical wind direction depending on configuration.
This makes the system particularly useful where bridge officers need rapid visual awareness of changing wind conditions during navigation and vessel operations.
• 3-digit wind speed display
• 3-digit maximum wind speed or wind direction display
• Multi-color wind direction display
• Wind-direction variability indication
• Relative wind-angle capability
• Wind speed and direction alarms with delay
• RS-485 / NMEA serial connections
• Calibrated 0–5 VDC outputs
• Display brightness control
• Compatible with YOUNG wind sensors and supported 4–20 mA inputs
• Luminous front-panel markings
• Designed with features suitable for shipboard use
The Marine Wind Tracker can display instantaneous wind speed using several selectable units:
KNOTS
MPH
KM/H
M/S
This is particularly useful aboard ships because wind information can be configured according to vessel operating requirements.
The system also provides maximum wind-speed information, helping bridge personnel identify significant gust conditions.

A typical marine wind monitoring installation consists of:
• Model 06206 Marine Wind Tracker Display
• Compatible wind speed and direction sensor
• Propeller / anemometer assembly
• Wind direction vane
• Sensor mounting assembly
• Signal cable
• Power supply connection
• RS-485 / NMEA communication connection where required
• Alarm connections where configured
R.M. Young also lists accessories including:
Model 06260 – Weather Resistant Enclosure
Model 06280 – Single Rack Mounting Panel
Model 06282 – Double Rack Mounting Panel
The R.M. YOUNG Marine Wind Tracker can be used for wind monitoring aboard:
• Cargo Ships
• Container Vessels
• Bulk Carriers
• Oil and Chemical Tankers
• LNG/LPG Carriers
• Offshore Vessels
• Research Vessels
• Passenger Ships
• Workboats
• Other merchant and specialized vessels
Reliable wind information is particularly useful during berthing, unberthing, maneuvering, offshore operations, deck operations and navigation in strong wind conditions.
Check whether the propeller/anemometer rotates freely. Inspect the sensor cable, terminal connections and Wind Tracker input configuration.
Inspect the mechanical sensor for contamination, bearing wear or physical damage. Also confirm that the correct sensor input configuration and wind-speed units are selected.
Check whether the wind vane rotates freely and aligns naturally with changing wind direction. Mechanical obstruction or sensor/cable faults can cause incorrect direction information.
Check the Wind Tracker power supply, power connections and associated wiring before suspecting internal electronics.
Inspect sensor cables and connectors, especially where wiring is exposed to vibration, salt, moisture or mechanical movement.
Check serial wiring, interface configuration and communication settings. The Marine Wind Tracker supports RS-485/NMEA communication.
Verify sensor alignment and installation orientation. Also confirm the relevant configuration before attempting sensor replacement.
Mechanical wind sensors operate continuously in exposed marine environments. Bearings and rotating components should therefore be checked for excessive resistance, contamination or physical damage.
The 06206 provides configurable wind speed and wind direction alarms with delay.
Possible operational conditions requiring investigation include:
• Wind speed alarm
• Wind direction alarm
• Missing sensor information
• Abnormal or unstable wind readings
• Serial communication problems
Exact alarm configuration should be checked against the applicable R.M. Young manual rather than assumed.
• Inspect the propeller for free rotation.
• Check the wind vane for unrestricted movement.
• Inspect sensor bearings for wear.
• Remove salt and contamination carefully from exposed components.
• Inspect mounting hardware regularly.
• Check cables for UV, weather or mechanical damage.
• Inspect connectors for corrosion and moisture.
• Confirm wind-direction alignment after sensor removal or replacement.
• Check display and serial communication periodically.
• Follow manufacturer instructions when calibration or sensor servicing is required.
The external sensor is continuously exposed to weather, so preventive mechanical inspection is particularly important in marine installations.
SM MARINE SERVICE™ can support sourcing of R.M. YOUNG Marine Wind Tracker systems, displays, wind sensors and associated spare parts, depending on availability.

SM MARINE SERVICE™ can support sourcing of new, used, refurbished, reconditioned and tested working marine wind monitoring equipment, subject to stock availability.
Mechanical wind sensors combined with a dedicated bridge display provide a straightforward and highly visible method of monitoring shipboard wind conditions.
The Model 06206 also provides useful modern interfaces such as RS-485/NMEA communication, analog outputs and configurable alarms while retaining a simple dedicated wind display.
For existing installations, replacing a damaged sensor, display or other component can often be more practical than changing the complete vessel wind-monitoring arrangement.
