Anemometer

There are two magnets under the spinning cap of the anemometer. Every half rotation a magnet passes over a small reed switch that is connected to a Wind Data Logger. The anemometer is built using high quality ball bearings, stainless steel hardware, and the distinctive gold anodized aluminum cups.

Most anemometers are exposed to harsh conditions, thus they will not last forever. In most cases the anemometer will last for two to three years without maintenance. The only parts that we have seen die in the last 10 years are the ball bearings. Replacement ball bearing assemblies are available, at cost, and can be installed in a few minutes with hand tools.

Our assembled anemometers come complete with an RJ-45 connector to make field wiring very easy. To connect the anemometer to a Wind Data Logger, all you need is a straight through CAT5 patch cable.

A sample of this anemometer has been wind tunnel calibrated. You can view the anemometer calibration summary, or you can request the full calibration report from us.
