Wind Speed Sensor 2740/2740EX

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Wind Speed Sensor 2740 is designed to measure average and maximum wind speeds. It features a three-cup rotor mounted on an aluminum housing and can be integrated with AADI Automatic Weather Stations or used independently with a connecting cable.
Specifications:
  • Range: Up to 79 m/s
  • Threshold Speed: Less than 0.3 m/s
  • Distance Constant: 1.5 meters
  • Accuracy: ±2% or ±0.2 m/s, whichever is greater
  • Output Signals: Average Wind Speed and Wind Gust in SR10 format
  • Current Consumption: 300 µA
  • Operating Voltage: 7 to 14V DC
  • Operating Temperature: -40 to +65°C
  • Material Housing: Anodized Aluminum 6061-T6
  • Net Weight: 500 grams
  • Gross Weight: 1.3 kg (including packaging)
Features:
  • Low power consumption
  • Low threshold speed
  • High maximum speed capability
  • User-friendly design
Calibration: The sensor uses nominal calibration coefficients to convert raw data readings to engineering units using the formula: Wind (m/s) = A + BN + CN2 + DN3. For older models with the Three Cup Rotor 2228, specific coefficients are provided.
Accessories: Various cables and brackets are available but not included, such as the Gust Adapter Cable 2911 and Connecting Cable 2842.
Additional Information: The sensor is certified, and further details can be obtained from Aanderaa Data Instruments AS, a subsidiary of Xylem Inc.

Wind Speed Sensor 2740/2740EX-1

Wind Speed Sensor 2740/2740EX A sensor for measuring the average and maximum wind speed (gust) during the sampling interval. The sensor is designed for use with Aanderaa Dataloggers 3634/3660 and the Aanderaa Automatic Weather Station 2700. Features: • Low power • Low threshold speed • High maximum speed • User friendly • SR10 output format The Wind Speed Sensor 2740 consists of a three cup rotor on top of an aluminium housing. The sensor can be fitted directly onto the Sensor Cross Arms 3415/3435 of an AADI Automatic Weather Station or used separately if a connecting cable is used. The sensor foot will fit onto a 25 mm vertical tube. The rotor bearing assembly consist of two stainless steel ball bearings in an assembly protected by a surrounding skirt. The lower end of the skirt is furnished with a magnet, and the magnet’s rotation is sensed by a magneto inductive switch located inside the housing. A micro controller reads the pulses from the magneto inductive switch sensing the rotors rotation and use the pulse count to calculate the wind speed. The sensor has two output signals; average wind speed and maximum wind speed (gust) during the sampling interval. The average wind speed is obtained as the arithmetic mean of the wind regardless of the sampling interval, provided that the sampling interval is between four seconds and three hours. The maximum wind speed is the highest speed occurring over a two second period at any time during the sampling interval. The micro controller also provides the AADI SR10 output signals for wind speed and gust. Both output signals will have the same conversion factor for calculation of wind speed in engineering units from the ten bit output data. This factor is independent of the sampling interval used. From august 1998 the sensor has been supplied with a new and more rugged three cup rotor designated 2228A.
