Airport wind analyzer VENTUS-UMB

embedded

Extremely precise and maintenance-free measurement of wind speed and wind direction even in the lowest temperature The accurate wind sensor uses the run-time differential method for determining the wind speed and wind direction. It provides output for instantaneous values, vector and scalar means, the maximum gust of wind and wind direction, the maximum/minimum values and the virtual temperature. Data output through serial or analogue interfaces provides compatibility of the Lufft Ventus for commercially available hydrometeorological dataloggers and PLC systems. An automatic heater ensures reliable operation even in harsh environmental conditions. Parameters measured:Wind speed, wind direction, virtual temperature, barometric pressure Measurement technology:Ultrasonic Product highlights:Wind detection with birdproof construction, maintenance-free measurement, suitable for extreme ambient conditions, ice-free operation, vibration and seawater resistant, compatible interfaces Interfaces:SDI-12, RS-485 with supported protocols Binary, ASCII, NMEA, Modbus & analogue output Measuring wind direction and speed insusceptibly to bird nesting thanks to roofed construction Built-in data pre-processing, universal interfaces and selectable output protocols – compatible with OTT-dataloggers, commercially available HydroMet dataloggers and PLS systems Maintenance-free operation – no moving parts that can wear out thanks to ultrasonic measuring method; no need for re-calibration Suitable for all climate zones; also for solar-powered automatic meteorological stations Integrated heater that can be switched on if there is danger of frost
