WindMaster 3-axis ultrasonic anemometers (wind sensors) - more details
Designed and manufactured by Gill Instruments in the UK, WindMaster 3-axis ultrasonic anemometers accurately and reliably measure wind speed and direction (or air flow) in three dimensions.
High performance measurement at fast output rates (up to 32Hz) allows WindMaster anemometers to provide data to inform research or provide control information to other systems such as building ventilation or unmanned vessels.
Output protocol options for the WindMaster range include RS232, RS422 & RS485 as well as current or voltage analogue output options.
Environmental protection to IP65 across all WindMaster models.
Ultrasonic technology provides accurate and reliable wind speed and direction data using solid state technology, with no moving parts, reducing the need for maintenance and making WindMaster ideal for harsh weather environments and remote locations.
