RESEARCH 3-AXIS ULTRASONIC ANEMOMETER
HS-100
The horizontal head at 100 Hz.
HS-100 is the 100 Hz version of the HS-50, with the same horizontal head, stainless steel build, six analogue inputs and inclinometer. Its operating temperature range is narrower than the rest of the Research range, at 0 to plus 50 degrees C, which is a specification point rather than a detail.

WHERE IT SITS
HS-100 in the Research range
Within the Research 3-Axis family the models differ by measurement range, output rate, build and approvals rather than by measurement principle.
MEASUREMENT

BEFORE YOU SPECIFY
Is the HS-100 the correct configuration?
Before specifying, confirm:
- the wind speed range the site actually sees
- the output rate the receiving system needs
- the operating temperature and whether heating is required
- any approval or certification the installation demands
- the mounting arrangement and cable or connector choice
- the interface and output the receiving system expects
If those match, the HS-100 provides that configuration.
