WindMaster - Three Axis Anemometer

Product catalog summary

Overview: The WindMaster is a three-axis anemometer designed for precise measurement of wind velocities and Speed of Sound (SOS) derived temperature. It is essential for research in turbulent flows, surface energy balance, and scalar fluxes.

Specifications:

Power Requirement: 9-30V DC, 25mA @ 12V DC
Wind Speed Range: 0 - 45 m/s, Resolution: 0.01 m/s, Accuracy: <1.5% RMS @12 m/s (standard), <1% RMS @12 m/s (custom)
Wind Direction Range: 0 - 359º, Resolution: 0.1º, Accuracy: 2º @12 m/s (standard), 0.5º @12 m/s (custom)
Communication: RS232, 422, 485 network, Baud Rates: 2400 - 115200, Format: ASCII
Environmental: Operating Temp: -40ºC to +70ºC, Humidity: < 5% to 100% RH, Protection Class: IP65

Key Features:

Maintenance-free, lightweight construction
20Hz or optional 32Hz data rate
Optional analogue inputs and outputs
Wind tunnel calibration in accordance with ISO 16622

Mechanical and Design: Constructed with Aluminium/carbon fibre, the WindMaster is fitted with standard Gill transducers and offers a top wind speed measurement of 45 m/s. Enhanced electronics reduce power consumption to 55 mA at 12 V DC.

Optional Features:

Increased data output rate to 32 Hz
4 analogue output channels with 12 or 14 bit resolution
4 analogue input channels with 12 or 14 bit resolution
Flange mounting arrangement

Applications: Suitable for meteorological systems, transport safety, structural safety, wind profiling, marine research, and wind turbine site surveys.
