- The Wind Monitor is a high resolution rugged wind sensor.
- Its simplicity and lightweight corrosion resistant construction make it well suited for a wide range of wind measuring applications.
- The wind speed sensor is a four blade helicoid propeller.
- Propeller rotation produces an AC sine wave voltage signal with frequency directly proportional to wind speed.
- Slip rings and brushes are not used resulting in improved reliability and lower cost.
- The wind direction sensor is a rugged yet lightweight vane with a sufficiently low aspect ratio to assure good fidelity in fluctuating wind conditions.
- Vane position is sensed by a precision conductive plastic potentiometer located in a sealed chamber.
