| Specifications |
| Description | |
| Instrument type | 15 channel internet-enabled wind energy data logger |
| Applications | • wind resource assessment |
| Sensor compatibility - counter channels | • NRG #40C anemometer • opto anemometer • reed switch anemometer • rain gauge |
| Sensor compatibility - analog channels | • NRG 200P direction vane • NRG 110S temperature • Li-Cor 200SA pyranometer • NRG BP-20 absolute pressure (requires optional iPack power) • RH-5 relative humidity (requires optional iPack power) |
| Counter channels | Channels 1-6 and 13-15 are counter inputs: • channels 1-3 and 13-15 are pre-programmed for NRG #40C anemometers or compatible sensors • channels 4-6 use counter Signal Conditioning Modules (SCMs) to configure the channels for other sensors |
| Analog channels | Channels 7-12 are analog inputs: • channels 7 and 8 are dedicated for NRG 200P direction vane • channels 9-12 use analog Signal Conditioning Modules (SCMs) to configure the channels for other sensors |
