WindMaster Pro
3-Axis Ultrasonic Anemometer

SKU: 200-1561-PK-020/W-CONFIG Category:

Precision measurements up to 65 m/s (145 mph), stainless steel construction, optional analog inputs & outputs, optional PRT100 input. Connector included, no cable.

(Analog Input and Analog Output options must be included at the time of order)

The WindMaster Pro 3D ultrasonic anemometer will monitor wind speeds of 0-65 m/s (0-234 km/h), providing digital outputs for U, V, and W vectors. Outputs for Speed of Sound and Sonic Temperature are available as standard. WindMaster Pro is constructed of stainless steel and is available with 32 Hz data output rate. Optional analog inputs and outputs are available with 14 bit resolution. A Platinum Resistance Thermometer (PRT) input is an order option. This 3D ultrasonic anemometer is ideally suited to the measurement of air turbulence around bridges, buildings, wind turbine sites, building ventilation control systems, meteorological and flux measurement sites.
