High Performance Wind
Sensor
The Wind Monitor is a high performance, rugged wind sensor. lts simplicity and corrosion- resistant construction make it ideal for a wide range of wind measuring applications. The wind speed sensor is a four blade helicoid propeller. Propeller rotation produces an AC sine wave voltage signal with frequency directly proportional to wind speed. Slip rings and brushes are eliminated for increased reliability. The wind direction sensor is a rugged yet lightweight vane with a sufficiently low aspect ratio to assure good fidelity in fluctuating wind conditions. Vane angle is sensed by a precision potentiometer housed in a sealed chamber. With a known excitation voltage applied to the potentiometer, the output voltage is directly proportional to vane angle. A mounting orientation ring assures correct realignment of the wind direction reference when the instrument is removed for maintenance. The instrument is made of UV stabilized plastic with stainless steel and anodized aluminum fittings. Precision grade, stainless steel ball bearings are used. Transient protection and cable terminations are in a convenient junction box. The instrument mounts on standard 1 inch pipe. For offshore and marine use, the Model 05106, Wind Monitor-MA offers the added features of special bearing lubricant and sealed heavy duty cable pigtail in place of the junction box. The Wind Sensor Interface provides calibrated voltage output signals for wind speed and direction. Low power circuitry makes it ideal for field studies and remote data-logging applications. The Wind Line Driver provides separate 4-20 mA current loops for wind speed and direction. This unit is useful in high noise areas or to drive lines up to several kilometers in length.
Specifiy suffix for desired wind speed scale.
