ADVANTAGES

Primary replacement for #40 Anemometer in Wind Resource Assessment applications

  • Proven accuracy in an affordable analog wind speed sensor.

  • Sine Wave output

  • Durable construction with anodized aluminum and stainless steel

  • Low threshold speed, short distance constant and overspeeding

Calibrated sensors

All sensors come standard with factory calibration. An independent laboratory calibrated version with certificate per ISO/IEC 17025:2005 or MEASNET/IEC 61400-12-1:2005 is available per request. Calibration provides individual slope and offset values to configure the anemometer or your data logger.
