ULTRASONIC WIND SENSOR
ULTRASONIC WIND SENSOR
LCJ Capteurs, founded in 1999 in Vertou, France, specializes in designing and manufacturing ultrasonic wind sensors. The company focuses on producing robust, accurate, and reliable products, with all manufacturing processes conducted locally within a 50 km radius of their office.
LCJ Capteurs offers a variety of ultrasonic wind sensors, notably the CV7 series, which are compact, lightweight, and energy-efficient. These sensors are suitable for both land and sea applications and can interface with PCs and other equipment using standardized inputs.
The sensors utilize electro-acoustic transducers to measure wind speed and direction by analyzing ultrasonic signal transit times. The CV7 range provides four independent measurements with a sensitivity of 0.15 m/s and reliable performance up to 40 m/s.
- SONIC-ANEMO-DVC: Designed for analog dataloggers, offering instant wind speed and angle measurements.
- SONIC-ANEMO-DZP: Solar-powered for remote installations, with low energy consumption.
- SONIC-ANEMO-MICRO: Low electrical consumption, ideal for remote or mobile installations.
- SONIC-ANEMO-SDI: Integrates SDI12 protocol, optimizing electrical consumption.
- CV7-V and CV7-E: Easily integrated into systems, offering robust and responsive performance.
- SONIC-ANEMO-MODBUS: Meets industry standards for various monitoring applications.
- SONIC-ANEMO-ANA5: Features two 0-5 V analog outputs for interfacing with analog systems.
- CV7-OEM: OEM version for integration into other products.
LCJ Capteurs provides tailored solutions for specific applications, leveraging their expertise and flexible manufacturing capabilities.
The sensors are used in diverse applications, such as controlling fountains and reducing bat mortality in wind farms. Notable projects include installations in Nantes and Cagnes sur Mer, France.
LCJ Capteurs' ultrasonic wind sensors are reliable, accurate, and versatile, suitable for a wide range of applications. The company's commitment to quality and innovation is evident in their comprehensive product offerings and successful project implementations.
The WindMorbihan project involves installing six CV7-V ultrasonic wind sensors in the Bay of Quiberon to display real-time wind data on a website.
Due to the sensors' robustness and reliability, the National School of Sail and Nautical Sports has installed another CV7-V sensor on Etel’s semaphore.
LCJ Capteurs, located in Vertou, France, is responsible for producing these sensors and offers a two-year warranty with a return to the factory policy.
All products from LCJ Capteurs are CE compliant and come with a two-year warranty.

We started in 1999 with the aim to lead the way in robust and accurate wind sensors. LCJ Capteurs is an innovative company located in Vertou, in the heart of the dynamic French region “Pays de la Loire” where we are now manufacturing the 5th generation of our sonic sensors. From the design office to the final product, all technical and manufacturing aspects are carried out in France in a 50 km radius from the office in Vertou. All assembly and quality control processes are handled in our own office with quality control applied at every stage. Each sensor is set-up and tested in our own wind tunnel...

ULTRASONIC WIND SENSORS - TECHNICAL INFORMATION How does it work? A conventional wind vane/anemometer features mechanical rotating parts. These moving parts expose the sensor to failure. The ultrasonic sensor has been designed to avoid any mechanical part to ensure the best possible and most reliable operation. The sonic wind–vane/anemometers shows very stable results over the long term and without maintenance. The sound (and ultrasound) is conveyed by the movement of the fluid in which it crosses. The electro acoustic transducers (1) communicate between themselves two by two using ultrasonic...
