Wind Speed and Direction Sensor

BKC-ANM - Includes both wind speed and wind direction sensors. Rugged components stand up to hurricane‐force winds, yet are sensitive to a light breeze. Includes sealed bearings for long life. The range and accuracy specifications have been verified in wind‐tunnel tests. In areas where icing of the anemometer is a problem, drip rings deflect water from the joint between moving parts

Specification:
Operating Temperature:-40° to +149°F (-40° to +65°C).
Wind Speed: Solid state magnetic sensor.
Wind Direction: Wind vane and potentiometer.
Attached Cable Length: 40' (12 m).
Cable Type: 4-conductor, 26 AWG .
Connector: Modular connector (RJ-11).
Maximum Cable Length: 240' (73 m).
Wind Vane and Control Head: UV-resistant ABS.
Wind Cups: Polycarbonate.
Anemometer Arm: Black-anodized aluminum.
Dimensions (length x width x height): 15.0" x 1.5" x 18.0" (381 mm x 38 mm x 457 mm).
Weight: 1 lbs. 4 oz. (1.332 kg).
Display Resolution(Direction Sensor): 16 points (22.5°) on compass rose, 1° in numeric display.
Accuracy(Direction Sensor): ±3°
Resolution and Units(Speed): Measured in 1 mph. Other units are converted from mph and rounded to nearest 1 km/h, 0.1 m/s, or 1 kno.
Range(Speed Sensor): 1 to 200 mph, 1 to 173 knots, 0.5 to 89 m/s, 1 to 322 km/h.
Accuracy(Speed Sensor): ±2 mph (2 kts, 3 km/h, 1 m/s) or ±5%, whichever is greater.
Maximum Cable Length(Speed Sensor): 240' (73 m). Maximum wind speed reading decreases as length of cable from Anemometer to ISS increases. At 140' (42 m), maximum speed is 135 mph (60 m/s). At 240', the maximum is 100 mph.
Black: Wind speed contact closure to ground.
Red: Ground.
Green: Wind direction pot wiper (20KΩ potentiometer).
Yellow: Pot supply voltage.
Wind Speed Translation Formula: 1600 rev/hr = 1 mph V = P(2.25/T) (V = speed in mph, P = no. of pulses per sample period T = sample period in seconds).
Wind DirectionTranslation: Variable resistance 0 - 20KΩ; 10KΩ = south, 180°.
Certificate : CE certified.
