VDO Gauges

<h3>About VDO Gauges</h3><p><strong>VDO</strong> is one of the most storied names in vehicle instrumentation, with roots stretching back to 1929. <a href="/735-vdo-gauges">VDO</a> was born from the merger of two German speedometer manufacturers — DEUTA and OTA — in Frankfurt am Main, and quickly became a household name among drivers worldwide. The brand's widespread recognition grew alongside the iconic VW Beetle, whose speedometer bore the VDO trademark starting in the late 1930s. Today, VDO is a trademark of the Continental Corporation, bringing the resources of one of the world's largest automotive suppliers to bear on every product it makes.</p><h3>A Legacy of Quality and Precision</h3><p>For nearly a century, VDO has been engineering instruments that meet or exceed the standards set by vehicle manufacturers. Their aftermarket replacement parts are built to the same specifications as factory-fitted components, offering drivers and technicians a level of confidence rarely found in the aftermarket space. VDO manufactures its sensors in ISO- and TSO-registered facilities, using the same engineering processes and quality materials as its original equipment products.</p><p>VDO's catalog spans both passenger cars and commercial vehicles, covering everything from <a href="/735-vdo-gauges-gauges-200483">gauges</a> — including tachometers, speedometers, oil pressure, and temperature instruments — to sophisticated electronic sensors for modern engine management systems. The brand also has a deep heritage in the marine world, having supplied instrumentation for pleasure boats, yachts, and sailing vessels since 1958.</p><h3>Instrumentation for Every Application</h3><p>One of VDO's most exciting product segments is its multi-function display systems, which consolidate critical engine and vessel data into a single, easy-to-read interface. These displays represent the evolution of VDO's traditional analog expertise into the digital age, supporting protocols like NMEA 2000® for seamless integration with modern marine electronics.</p><p>On the sender and sensor side, VDO offers a comprehensive ecosystem of parts designed to work in harmony with their gauges. Their <a href="/735-vdo-gauges-boost-pressure-sender-20126">boost pressure senders</a> are a go-to choice for turbocharged vehicle owners who need accurate real-time boost readings, while <a href="/735-vdo-gauges-fuel-level-sensor-10729">fuel level sensors</a> provide reliable tank monitoring across automotive and marine platforms. VDO's engine management portfolio also includes <a href="/735-vdo-gauges-mass-air-flow-sensor-5128">mass air flow sensors</a> engineered to deliver precise air-volume data critical for optimal fuel delivery and emissions control.</p><h3>Why Choose VDO?</h3><ul style="list-style:disc"><li>Nearly 100 years of instrumentation expertise dating back to 1929</li><li>Products manufactured to OE-equivalent quality standards in certified facilities</li><li>Broad compatibility across cars, trucks, commercial vehicles, and marine applications</li><li>A complete ecosystem of matched gauges, senders, and sensors for consistent, accurate readings</li><li>Backed by the engineering resources of the Continental Corporation</li></ul><p>Whether you&apos;re restoring a classic, upgrading a performance build, or replacing a worn sensor on a daily driver, VDO delivers the precision and durability that professionals and enthusiasts have relied on for generations.</p>

Product Details

The Veratron VDO A2C59501984 NMEA 2000 Wind Sensor is a certified marine wind instrument designed to deliver precise wind speed and direction data across a standard NMEA 2000 network. Compatible with Veratron AcquaLink and OceanLink gauge systems, this sensor integrates seamlessly into modern marine instrumentation setups for sailing and powerboat navigation.

The mechanical wind vane tracks wind direction across a full 0–360° range, while the rotating wind cups capture relative wind speed from 1.0 to 68 knots. Using a Hall-effect sensor and cross-coil measurement system, the sensor transmits apparent wind data via a DeviceNet M12 5-pin (Micro-C) NMEA 2000 connector. When boat speed data is present, compatible AcquaLink systems can automatically recalculate apparent wind into true wind, giving sailors the flexibility to navigate with either reading.

Key Features:

  • NMEA 2000 certified — integrates with any compliant marine network
  • Measures wind speed (1.0–68 knots) and wind direction (0–360°)
  • Accuracy: ±1° wind angle / ±1 knot wind speed
  • Contactless Hall-effect sensor with cross-coil system for reliable mechanical measurement
  • Compatible with Veratron AcquaLink and OceanLink gauge systems
  • Supports apparent wind display; recalculates to true wind with compatible systems
  • Flexible mounting bracket supports top-mast and lateral mast installation
  • Operating voltage: 9–16V DC (nominal 12V); current draw under 30 mA
  • Operating temperature: -10°C to 65°C (14°F to 149°F)
  • Overall dimensions: 725 mm length x 360 mm height (approx. 28.5" x 14.2")
  • DeviceNet M12 5-pin Micro-C NMEA 2000 connector

In the Box: Wind sensor, mast mount bracket, installation instructions. Compatible mast cables (sold separately): A2C96244200 (10m) or A2C59501950 (30m); T-Splitter A2C39312700.
