    Overview

     
      • Non-freezing, all-weather wind set for arctic conditions
      • Fully heated anemometer and wind vane (heating in cups and vanes, sensor bodies and bearings prevent snow build-up and ice formation)
      • High performance, accurate wind speed and wind direction measurement
      • Low measurement starting threshold
      • Conical anemometer cups provide excellent linearity

        Wind speed


        ​Sensor / transducer type                                         
        ​cup anemometer / opto-chopper

        ​Measurement range ​0.4...75 m/s

        ​Starting threshold ​<0.5 m/s *

        ​Accuracy (range 0.4...60 m/s)
            with characteristic

        ±0.17 m/s **

        ​transfer function
            with transfer function U=0.1xR
