| Wind Speed Sensor |
| Model 013 |
| Model 013 Wind Speed Sensor has been specifically designed to accurately and reliably measure wind velocity under the most adverse environmental conditions. |
| FEATURES |
| • Accuracy of 2% • Temperature operating range of -50° to 70°C • Stainless steel ball bearings for greatest accuracy and operating life • Starting threshold of 1.0 mph |
| OPERATION |
| The Model 013 is particularly useful
in remote, unattended monitoring applications where the sensor is likely
to encounter high winds and heavy icing conditions. The sensor has a range
of 0-150 mph with an accuracy of 2% and a starting threshold of 1.0 mph.
A unique feature of the Model 013 is a built-in ice skirt which allows
sensor operation with a 2" ice load. The sensor is supplied with
an extremely robust aluminum cup assembly which has a distance constant
of less than 15 feet. Maximum operational reliability is ensured by the use of a sealed magnetic reed switch which produces a series of contact closures at a rate proportional to wind speed. The pulsed output of the sensor lends itself to applications involving both digital and analog measurement systems. |
| CONSTRUCTION |
The construction of the sensor reflects
the requirement for reliability and durability. Only the best corrosion
resistant material, such as stainless steel and anodized aluminum are
used. The 013 sensor uses a quick connect sensor cable. Cable lenght may
extend hundreds of feet without affecting measurement performance. |
