Nijin YOUNG - Model 05305 -AQ Wind Monitor
The AQ Wind Monitor is a precision instrument designed to assess wind parameters for meteorological and industrial applications. This equipment is integral to systems that require accurate wind measurement for operational efficiency and safety. The device provides reliable data on wind speed and direction, crucial for weather stations and energy sectors, particularly in wind energy generation. Its robust construction ensures durability in various environmental conditions, making it suitable for both remote deployment and urban settings. The AQ Wind Monitor is compatible with a range of software, allowing for seamless integration into existing data acquisition systems. This interoperability enhances its utility in complex environmental monitoring networks, supporting both research and operational decision-making in meteorology and related fields.
The YOUNG Model 05305 Wind Monitor-AQ measures horizontal wind speed and direction. Adapted from our Model 05103, this sensor is designed to meet many air quality specifications. A lightweight, carbon fiber thermoplastic (CFT) helicoid propeller, used to measure wind speed, generates an AC sine wave signal upon rotation. Wind direction is determined by a lightweight, balanced, vane attached to a precision potentiometer inside an internal housing. UV stabilized plastic with stainless steel and anodized aluminum parts are used in the construction of the sensor. The sensor mounts on a standard 1-inch IPS pipe. A mounting orientation ring is included that engages with the base of the sensor to retain orientation when the sensor is removed for maintenance. Terminations are made in a junction box at the base of the sensor by small clamp-style connectors (no special connectors are required).
The Wind Monitor-AQ is also available with 0-5 VDC outputs, Model 05305V, or 4-20 mA outputs, Model 05305L (both models scaled for 0-100 m/s and 0-360 degrees). The 05305L is recommended for use in high noise areas or for installations with long cables, typically 300 meters (1000 feet) or more, up to several kilometers.
