Ames - Model RVM 96B-1 -Handheld Anemometer
The RVM 96B-1 is a portable, easy to use electro – mechanical device for wind speed and direction measurements. It is particularly suited for usage in adverse conditions, where other instruments due to their design, weight or dimensions, would be unsuitable. Suitable for military, coast guard, firemen, construction workers, sports, etc.
- Built-in electronic compass
- Anodized aluminum
- Illuminated LC wind speed display
- Display of instant, 1 min average and 1 min maximum wind speed data
- RS 232 data transmission as an option
- Type calibrated in wind tunnel
- Long battery life, auto power-off
- Transport case included
- Designed in accordance with NATO standards
System for measuring wind speed is optoelectronic, with 3-cup Robinson’s cross and digital liquid crystal display. Wind speed is sampled in 1-second intervals. Four AA-type (R6) batteries located in a handle power the electronics. Automatic power-off circuit switches the instrument off, when cup assembly is not rotating for more than 4 minutes. As an option, wind speed data can be transmitted to the external device each second by RS 232 serial port (RVM 96B/T).
RVM 96B-1 can be set to measure wind speed in m/s, km/h, knots, or mph. Wind speed units can be selected by the user.
A mechanical system with a vane and circular scale is used for measuring the direction of the wind. Built-in electronic compass enables proper orientation of the device.
Lid of a handle has standard ¼” nut to enable the attachment of the device to the standard photographic tripod.
- Lightweight, portable digital anemometer, measuring both wind speed & direction
- Quality construction: anodised aluminium, ball bearings
- Type calibrated in wind tunnel
- Long battery life, auto power-off
- Built-in electronic compass
- Illuminated LC wind speed display
- RS 232 data transmission as an option
- Suitable for military, coast guard, firemen, construction workers, sports, etc.

The RVM 96B-1 can be set to measure wind speed in m/s, km/h, knots, or mph. The speed unit is user selectable.
Four AA-type (R6) batteries located in the handle power the electronics. An automatic power-off circuit switches the instrument off, if the cup assembly is stationary for more than 4 minutes. As an option, wind speed data can be transmitted to an external device in 1-second intervals via a RS-232 serial port.
The handle lid has standard ¼” threaded hole to enable the attachment of the device to a standard camera tripod.
The RVM 96B-1C is equipped with a portable case.
