The WindObserver IS with IECEx and ATEX certification can be used in Hazardous Areas.

The WindObserver IS with IECEx and ATEX certification can be used in Hazardous Areas found in offshore environments, chemical processing and other applications where significant quantities of flammable liquids, vapour and combustible dusts could cause fire or explosion. The wind speed and direction sensor will measure wind speeds over the range 0-75 m/s, wind direction over the range 0-359° and requires no maintenance. Paired with a Low Voltage Power Communications Interface (LVPCI) containing all the necessary safety barriers, the WindObserver IS is easy to install and can be connected to the low voltage power distribution systems. The system provides wind speed and direction data for offshore meteorological observations in accordance with UK CAA CAP 437.
