WindSensor P2546-OPR Anemometer

Product catalog summary
Overview: The WindSensor P2546-OPR is a Class 1 anemometer known for its excellent performance in both flat and complex terrains, ensuring low measurement uncertainty across various sites. It is particularly suitable for offshore and coastal environments due to its superior corrosion resistance and environmental protection.
Key Features:
  • Precision-molded one-piece rotor introduced in 2011 for durability and consistent sensor-to-sensor repeatability.
  • Distinctive rotor geometry for accurate turbulence intensity measurements and complex wind sites.
  • Unmatched gust response, making it ideal for wind resource assessment and power performance monitoring.
Specifications:
  • Sensor Type: 3-cup anemometer.
  • Sensor Range: 0 m/s to 75 m/s (0 mph to 168 mph).
  • Output Signal: Two options - P2546C-OPR (Low level AC sine wave) and P2546A-OPR (Square wave), both linearly proportional to wind speed.
  • Calibration: Each anemometer is individually calibrated with a report available electronically.
  • Uncertainty: Classified under IEC 61400-12-1 as Class 1.3A and Class 3.6B.
Response Characteristics:
  • Threshold: Less than 0.4 m/s (0.9 mph).
  • Swept Diameter of Rotor: 187 mm (7.36 in).
  • Distance Constant: 1.81±0.04 m (5.94 ±0.13 ft).
Installation and Environmental Conditions:
  • Mounting: Onto a 25 mm (0.984 inch) diameter mast with two set screws, requiring a 4mm Allen wrench.
  • Operating Temperature Range: -35 °C to 60 °C (-31 °F to 140 °F).
  • Operating Humidity Range: 0% to 100% RH.
Physical Characteristics:
  • Weight: 0.36 kg (0.8 pounds).
  • Dimensions: 3 cups of conical cross-section, 70 mm (2.76 inches) diameter, 282 mm (11.10 inches) overall height.
  • Materials: Cups made of polycarbonate/fiberglass blend, body of anodized aluminum, shaft and bearings of stainless steel, and a permanent ring magnet.
Applications: The P2546-OPR is designed for wind resource assessment, wind power performance monitoring, meteorological studies, and environmental monitoring, both onshore and offshore.
