Climatronics - Model Wind Mark III -Wind Sensors

Wind speed is sensed by a three-cup anemometer and converted to an electrical signal by a solid-state photo chopper. A counter balanced wind vane coupled to a precision, low torque potentiometer senses wind direction. The sensors use stainless steel precision ball bearings for maximum life and low threshold. Traceability to NIST is available as an option for each anemometer cup assembly by comparison testing against an NIST transfer standard in our wind tunnel test facility. The sensors and their crossarm are an integral unit. The crossarm mounts on a 3/4-inch IPS vertical pipe stub (1.05 inch O.D.). Orientation of the crossarm is along an East-West plane.

The LEXAN cup (P/N 102138) and magnesium vane (P/N 101944) combination are standard. The Heavyduty aluminum cups (P/N 101282), and heavy -duty magnesium vane (P/N 101292) are optional. A sensor transit case (P/N 100255) is available. Climatronics Universal Interface Module (UIM), IMP- 800 series of digital data acquisition units, or almost any data loggers/data acquisition system currently available on the market are easily interfaced with the Wind Mark III sensor.

The Wind Mark III sensor can be provided with a 4 - 20 mA current loop output. In this configuration, the part number is 101908. Please consult the Current Loop Wind Sensor data sheet for additional details.
