The WindSonic Option 1 sensor used in this system has an RS232 output and has a cable distance of 15m. If cabling distances are longer than this we can quote as required. For cable lengths over 20m a WindSonic Option 2 sensor with RS422/485 output is required - please contact us for a quotation.

The sensor is linked with the RS232 cable to our IP65 rated WS-15A Display Unit providing a clear digital readout of wind speed and direction plus a wind direction arrow with cardinal points. The display enables set-up of an optional wind speed alarm and provides an RS232 data output that connects to a SpaceLogger.W8.Wireless data logger.

The SpaceLogger.W8.Wireless data logger date and time stamps the data storing it locally on the SD card from which it can be transmitted over the local Wi-Fi network onto our Weather-File website or to PC. This gives the flexibility of being able to view the data locally on the WS-15A Display and/or remotely through the Weather-File website. If no local Wi-Fi network is available the data can be transferred manually to PC using the SD card.

The Weather File website displays the data onto a compass rose and wind speed display that is updated in real time every 5 seconds.

Long term data, including 10 minute averaged data, is stored on the SD card in a .CSV file that can be easily downloaded into Excel for later analysis and reporting.

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