Wind Speed / Wind Velocity Sensor – Three Cup Anemometer

The EMCON® Wind Velocity Sensor is designed for meteorological and environmental observations where accurate measurement and long-term stability are important. The sensor uses a three-cup anemometer with infrared pickup to measure wind speed. With its low power consumption, the sensor is suitable for remote monitoring installations and can be connected using long cables for remote and centralized measurements.

Wind Velocity Sensor

The sensor consists of a three-cup anemometer with an infrared pickup to measure wind velocity. Wind movement causes the cups to rotate, and the infrared pickup generates a digital pulse output corresponding to the actual wind speed.

Key Features

● Three-cup anemometer design
● Infrared pickup
● Wind-speed measurement up to 30 M/sec.
● Long cable connection for remote measurements
● Suitable for centralized measurements
● Wide operational temperature range
● Water-splash and dust-resistant construction
● Digital pulse output
● Low power consumption

Wind Speed Measurement

The sensor provides a measurement range of 0 to 30 M/sec with a specified
accuracy of ±0.3 M/sec. The equivalent measurement range is 0 to 216 Kmph
with an accuracy of ±1.08 Kmph.

Remote Monitoring

Long cables can be connected to the sensor, enabling remote and centralized
wind-speed measurements. This makes the sensor suitable for distributed
meteorological and environmental monitoring installations.

Applications

  • Meteorology
  • Agro meteorology
  • Architectural studies
  • Civil and structural studies
  • Climate control chambers
