Wind Monitor 05103
The wind sensor 05103 is a very robust four-leaves-propeller-anemometer for the usage under extreme conditions (e.g. in high alpine environment) and with a very low power consumption. For even harsher conditions, it can be equipped optionally with extra strong bearings as well as a special coating to prevent icing. At the wind speed sensor the propeller rotates and creates an induced voltage with a frequency, which is directly proportional to the wind speed. The wind direction sensor is a robust and very light weighted wind vane with a very high accuracy, even under varying wind conditions. The wind direction is registered by a precise potentiometer, which is installed in a sealed casing. With the application of a marker ring, the wind monitor can be de- and reinstalled without loss of northern direction.
