WindObserver (High Speed)

The High Speed WindObserver offers first class performance and is capable of measuring wind speeds and direction to wind speeds of 75 m/s (168 mph).  An ideal solution for tornados, tropical storms, land based and offshore applications.  The small opposing transducers provide maximum possible directional ultrasonic signals (used to provide wind data) whilst ensuring the minimum of wind distortion.

WindMaster Series

WindMaster ultrasonic anemometer

The NEW WindMaster range is ideally suited to the measurement of air turbulence around bridges, buildings, wind turbine sites, building ventilation control systems, meteorological and flux measurement sites.  Digital outputs are available on both instruments for U, V, and W vectors; additionally outputs for speed and sonic temperature are also available.

The WindMaster is constructed from aluminium and carbon fiber and is available with either a maximum 20 Hz or optional 32 Hz data output rate.  Optional analog inputs and outputs are available with either 12 or 14 bit resolution.

The WindMaster Pro is constructed from stainless steel and has a maximum operating wind speed of 65 m/s.  With a fast maximum data output rate of 32 Hz and improved vertical (W) resolution and SOS accuracy and less distortion due to wind loading, this instrument is suitable for applications requiring three axis data.  Optional analog inputs and outputs plus a PRT are available with either 14 or 16-bit resolution.

MetPak

Metpak ultrasonic anemometer

The New MetPak combines the essential measurements of weather parameters into one instrument. Measuring wind speed and direction using the proven WindSonic two-axis technology, and temperature and humidity using industry standard probes, this instrument provides a cost effective alternative for compact weather stations. Easy to install using a single pole mounting with SDI12 and analogue output configurations available.
