Detailed Description

The 85106 is a 2-axis, no-moving parts wind sensor. It is ideal for general meteorological applications requiring accurate and reliable measurement. The sensor features wide operating range, compact size, easy installation and low power operation. Analog and digital signal outputs are available in several popular formats. The Ultrasonic Anemometer measures wind based on the transit time of ultrasonic pulses between four transducers. Air flow alters the transit time which is used to calculate flow velocity. Wind direction is determined from relative velocities along each acoustic path. Measurement results are available as calibrated voltage output signals or serial data using RS-232, RS-485, or SDI-12 connections. Continous output or polled operation may be used. Serial formats may be selected for direct connection to YOUNG Wind Tracker displays, marine NMEA systems, SDI-12 dataloggers, and ASCII serial communication programs. Operating parameter options are selected using a simple setup program provided. All settings are stored internally in nonvolatile memory. The sensor is constructed using UV-stabilized thermoplastic, stainless steel, and anodized aluminum for superior environmental resistance. It is easily mounted on standard 1 inch (IPS) pipe. An orientation ring preserves mounting position when the sensor is removed.

Compatibility

Mounting

The Ultrasonic Wind Monitor can be attached to a 019WM, 019WMTOW, CM202, CM204, or CM206 crossarm via a L17953 NU-RAIL fitting or CM220 Right Angle Mounting Bracket. Alternatively, the Wind Monitors can be attached to the top of our stainless-steel tripods via the CM216 Sensor Mounting Kit.

Datalogger Considerations

The 85106 data are available as voltage output signals or serial output using RS-232 or RS-485 connections. Both voltage and serial output may be configured for a variety of output formats.
