Technical content
The WindSonic1a and WindSonic4a are two-dimensional ultrasonic anemometers for measuring wind speed and wind direction. They provide a low-cost alternative to traditional mechanical cup and vane or propeller and vane anemometers. The WindSonic1 and Windsonic4 differ in their output signal. The WindSonic1 outputs an RS-232 signal that can be read by a CR300, CR800, CR850, CR1000, CR1000X, or CR3000 datalogger. The WindSonic4 outputs an SDI- 12 signal that can be read by a CR200(X)-series, CR510, CR10X, CR800, CR850, CR1000, CR3000 or CR5000 logger. The WindSonic1 and WindSonic4 are not heated and are not recommended for conditions where rime, ice, or horizontal snow will occur. Please contact Campbell Scientific for information on a heated 2D sonic anemometer that will work in these conditions. www.campbellsci.eu/WindSonic1 & 4 More info: +44(0) 1509 828 888 No moving parts Minimizes routine maintenance costs 80 Hathern Road, Shepshed, LE12 9GX UK | +(0)1509 828888 | sales@campbellsci.co.uk | www.campbellsci.eu UK | AUSTRALIA | BRAZIL | CANADA | CHINA | COSTA RICA | FRANCE | GERMANY | SE ASIA | SOUTH AFRICA | SPAIN | USA Benefits and Features Low maintenance - no moving parts significantly reduces maintenance cost and time Provides a minimum detectable wind speed of 0.01 m s-1 Four WindSonic1 anemometers can be connected to a single CR1000, CR1000X or CR3000 datalogger, while two can be connected to a single CR800 or CR850 datalogger and one to a CR300 The Windsonic1 is compatible with the SDM-SIO1 (not compatible with the CR300), which increases the number of sensors one datalogger can measure Consistent performance throughout life No calibration required Robust, corrosion free UV-resistant material Provides accurate results in weather conditions where traditional mechanical wind sensors may fail Technical Details The WindSonic1 and WindSonic4 use two pairs of orthogonally oriented transducers to sense the horizontal wind. The transducers bounce the ultrasonic signal from a hood, thus minimizing the effects of transducer shadowing and flow distortion. Mounting The instrument mounts on standard 44.45 mm outside diameter pipe. Campbell Scientific can supply crossarms suitable for tripod or tower use and an optional mounting kit which includes a suitable mounting post. The instrument can be rotated as required - an arrow on the underside indicates North to assist correct alignment (see mounting diagram on next page). aThe WindSonic1 and WindSonic4 are manufactured by Gill Instruments, Inc.
