Windsonic 75 Anemometer

Description

The WindSonic 75 is a robust versatile wind speed and direction sensor with a wind speed range of 0-75m/s. Requiring very little maintenance and with no moving parts, or cups that can easily be damage, the WindSonic75 Ultrasonic anemometer can be position in less accessible areas to take wind readings clear of obstructions. The analogue output options on this unit can make this the easiest version to integrate with other sensors. The 0-5V or 4-20mA output options are ideal for adding to a remote weather station that may also have mV outputs from pyranometers monitoring solar radiation, etc.
