Wind Sensors

Other Sensors

We offer a wide range of sensors from various manufacturers. If you need help in selecting the right sensors for your site we will be happy to advise you. Here's a sample of some of the sensors we supply for monitoring wind speed and direction, temperature, pressure and rainfall:-

The Vector A100 series of cup-anemometers all have the same physical outline and basic mechanics. This arrangement has been used since the introduction of the Porton Anemometer in 1972, and was preceded by a similar design in the original CDE Porton anemometer of 1964. The different sensors within the A100 range use differing transducers/technologies within the same physical outline to provide different outputs optimised for different applications and interface requirements. MEASNET calibration is available for anemometers.

The Vector Potentiometer Wind Vane W200P (357 degree, 1Kohm potentiometer) is wirewound for electrical robustness and long life, and is easily interfaced to electronic measuring equipment. If connecting to data loggers, the potentiometer need only be powered-up for a short time at the instant of measurement.

The NRG #40 Anemometer is the standard anemometer used in the US wind energy industry and has recorded wind speeds of 96m/s (214 mph). Its low moment of inertia and unique bearings permit very rapid response to gusts and lulls. A four pole magnet induces a sine wave voltage into a coil producing an output signal with a frequency proportional to wind speed. The #40 is constructed of rugged Lexan cups moulded in one piece for repeatable performance. NRG or MIT calibration available.

The NRG #200P Wind Direction Vane is the standard wind direction vane used in the US wind energy industry. The thermoplastic and stainless steel components resist corrosion and contribute to a high strength-to-weight ratio. The vane is directly connected to a precision conductive plastic potentiometer located in the main body. An analog voltage output directly proportional to the wind direction is produced when a constant DC excitation voltage is applied to the potentiometer.
