Windsonic Ultrasonic Wind Sensor

At last, a real low cost alternative to conventional cup / vane / propeller wind sensors in a single unit – WindSonic from Gill Instruments. Utilising their expertise as the world's leading sonic manufacturer, WindSonic is based on existing highly successful, proven ultrasonic technology. Ideal for applications that demand economic wind sensing, WindSonic is suitable for land-based and marine environments.

A lightweight unit, WindSonic is of a robust, high strength construction designed to withstand installation and use with no fear of the damage commonly experienced with the more fragile cups, vanes or propellers. Without the need for expensive on-site calibration or maintenance and with a corrosion free exterior, WindSonic is a true fit and forget unit.

The flexible design enables you to easily configure Windsonic to deliver the Information you require. By using the software provided it is possible to select the output rate and choose the units of measurement that suit your application. Ensuring accuracy and reliability, WindSonic automatically transmits an anemometer status code with each output to indicate its operating status. Available in three options, providing a number of different digital and analogue outputs, WindSonic is supplied with NMEA and RS232 digital output as standard.

Maintenance free, quick and easy to install, WindSonic is designed to be mounted using a standard pole fitting and comes complete with all screw fittings, a mating marine grade connector and comprehensive user manual.

Providing accurate results in weather conditions where traditional mechanical sensors fail, WindSonic exhibits a number of further, very distinct advantages:

► Consistent performance throughout life

(no accuracy degradation due to wear of moving

parts)

► Low start speed (0.01 m/s; 0.09 knots)

► Corrosion free, UV resistant material

► Maintenance free

► No calibration required

► Robust construction

► Software configurable

► Status code output

► True 0^○ - 360^○ operation (no dead-band on

direction output)

► Wind speed and wind direction from a single

unit.

Economic to use, WindSonic is ideal for accurate wind measurement in applications such as:

► Agriculture

► Automatic Weather Stations

► HVAC

► Pollution control

► Portable weather stations

► Roadside weather stations

► Utilities

► Tunnels
