2-Axis anemometer for measuring wind speed and direction with enhanced heating
Area: Ultrasonic Sensors
Application: General Meteorology
uSonic-2 Heavy Duty 2-axis ultrasonic anemometer
Ruggedised design for harsh environments
The uSonic-2 Heavy Duty “HD” ultrasonic anemometer provides accurate and reliable wind speed and direction information in the most extreme environments. With no moving parts and a strengthened stainless steel construction and optional enhanced heating the uSonic-2 Heavy Duty is suitable for use in all conditions. It is a rugged high performance sensor for the measurement of the horizontal wind flow.
Where severe icing is a problem, the enhanced optional heating keeps the measurement head free for ice to ensure continuity of data. Heating can be automatically controlled and new technology ensures it operates only the appropriate elements and only when needed, ensuring 100 per cent data availability regardless of the weather whilst keeping energy usage down.
The uSonic-2 Heavy Duty has the highest reliability due to the combined data quality monitoring function and heating technology, which eliminates data dropout and ensures confidence in the measurements; and as there are no moving parts or maintenance requirements you can concentrate on the data and not the sensor.
Due to ultrasonic measurement technology the sensor provides excellent repeatability of data and error accuracy and also provides additional information such as virtual temperature.
Serial data communication is provided as standard with both RS422 and RS485 capabilities.
