  • Opto-electronic wind speed transmitter
  • Classified according to IEC standard
  • “Low Power”, high frequency output signal
  • Range 0.2 ... 75 m/s
  • Resolution < 0.5 m/s
  • Low power, pulse output only
  • Consumes 1 mA while operating from the logger’s battery supply.

Measurement principle
The low-inertia 3-cup rotor is set into rotation by the wind. The wheel is scanned optoelectronically and the measuring value is available at the output as a digital signal.
