Detailed Description

The sensor features durable, corrosion-resistant construction with sensitive ultrasonic transducers in a streamlined molded frame. The 86000 is fully wind-tunnel tested and calibrated to provide accurate wind measurement over a wide operating range.

The standard sensor offers a variety of useful output options. Analog voltage outputs are provided for wind speed and wind direction. A variety of serial output formats are also available. These include ASCII text, RMYT (compatible with R.M Young displays) and NMEA formats.

The sensor installs on readily available 1 inch (IPS) pipe. Wiring connections are made in a convenient weatherproof junction box; special mounting adapters, connectors, and cables are not required.
