Wind Sensor

The Model 034A Wind Sensor combines wind speed and direction measurements into a single remote sensing unit. The 034A Wind Sensor installs in minutes and will provide accurate, long term, continuous monitoring in hostile environments.

Features
        • Wind speed and direction in a single sensor
        • Durable aluminum and stainless steel construction
        • Low starting threshold
        • Stainless steel bearings
        • Low power

Operation
The 034A is designed to operate within a temperature range of – 30° to + 70°C and with wind speeds up to 155 mph. Wind speed is measured using a sealed reed switch which provides a series of pulses at a rate proportional to wind speed. Aluminum cups are used for durability.
Wind direction is measured using an aluminum vane directly coupled to a precision potentiometer. Variations in wind direction produce a corresponding change of voltage, which lends itself to both digital and analog measurement systems.
Mounting the 034A with the alignment adapter (PN 2954) provides alignment maintenance even if the sensor is removed. The alignment adpater mounts the 034A Wind Sensor to tubing of pipe.

Construction
High quality aluminum and stainless steel components, and high gloss white powder coating insure long life with minimal maintenance. The Model 034A Wind Sensor uses a quick-connect sensor cable. Cable length may extend hundreds of feet without affecting measurement performance.
