200-7000 WindSonic Ultrasonic Anemometer

A lightweight unit, the 200-7000 WindSonic Ultrasonic Anemometer is of a robust, high strength construction. Without the need for expensive on-site calibration or maintenance, and with a corrosion free exterior, WindSonic is a true fit and forget unit.

The flexible design enables you easily to configure WindSonic to deliver the information you require. By using the software provided it is possible to select the output rate and choose the units of measurement that suit your application. Ensuring accuracy and reliability, WindSonic automatically transmits an anemometer status code with each output to indicate its operating status. Available in three options, providing a number of different digital and analog outputs, WindSonic is supplied with NMEA and RS232 digital output as standard.

Maintenance free, quick and easy to install, WindSonic is designed to be mounted using a standard pole fitting and comes complete with all screw fittings, a mating marine grade connector, and comprehensive user manual.

Providing accurate results in all weather conditions, WindSonic exhibits a number of distinct advantages:

Consistent performance throughout life (no accuracy degradation due to wear of moving parts)
Corrosion free, UV resistant material
Low start speed (0.01 m/s, 0.09 knots)
Maintenance free
No calibration required
Robust construction
Software configurable
Status code output
True 0-359° operation (no dead band on direction output)
Wind speed and direction from a single unit
