A high quality wind monitoring system that is easy to install for immediate accurate wind measurement. Wi-Fi connectivity enables data to be viewed over the internet and/or locally on PC.

This systems measures wind speed and direction using the Gill WindSonic Option 1 ultrasonic sensor. The WindSonic sensor measures wind speed and direction in one unit, with no moving parts it requires virtually no maintenance and unlike traditional cup and vane sensors does not have bearings that require servicing or replacement. The Gill WindSonic sensor has an incredibly low start up speed with complete 0 to 360° operation with no dead band. The WindSonic ultrasonic sensor requires no calibration and is drop tested from 1m height and comes with a 2 year warranty

as standard.

The system comes complete with a 0.9m anodised aluminium mounting mast and mains plug power supply. 5V UK or World plug options are available.

Includes:

• (1) WindSonic Option 1 wind speed and direction sensor (WS1)
• (1) WindSonic mounting mast (WSMOUNT)
• (1)15m RS232 cable between sensor and data logger (WS015DW110)
• (1) SpaceLogger.W8.Wireless data logger including SD card (SL018PL023)
• (1) Connection to Weather-File website (WSWF)
• (1) Power supply unit (5V) (SLPSUSBUK or SLPSUSBWORLD)
