Description

This 3-axis ultrasonic anemometer provides highly accurate measurements of wind speed and direction, U-V-W Cartesian components of speed, sound speed and sonic temperature. Its rugged construction allows environmental conditions to be monitored even in the most extreme conditions.

This instrument can also be supplied with integrated sensors to measure temperature, relative humidity and pressure (please state if this functionality is required when requesting a quotation).

Additional features of this product include:

  • No moving parts
  • Low power consumption
  • User-configurable averaging periods
  • Self-diagnosis capability with error checking and reports
  • Automatic alignment to North through built-in compass
  • Range of digital and analogue outputs including RS232 and 4-20 mA

This anemometer is also available with an inbuilt heater to prevent the formation of snow and ice.
