Ultrasonic anemometer

It measures the time ultrasonic waves take to cross the air and, from it, wind speed and direction in real time. With no moving parts it lasts longer and needs less maintenance; the body is ABS, and Modbus RTU communication over RS-485 reaches up to 2,000 meters.

What it measures

  • Wind speed
  • Wind direction
  • Gusts
