WindObserver 65

Gill WindObserver 65 – Precision Wind Measurement Built for the Harshest Environments

 

  • Wind speed and direction sensor RS422
  • Marine wind sensor for ships and ports
  • Wind sensor with heating for cold climates

The Gill WindObserver 65 is a high-performance ultrasonic wind sensor designed to measure both wind speed and direction accurately in demanding environments. Built from corrosion-resistant stainless steel and featuring an IP66 protection rating, it operates reliably in marine, industrial, and aviation settings. With no moving parts, it delivers maintenance-free operation and consistent data even under strong winds, heavy rain, or extreme temperatures. The sensor measures wind speeds up to 65 m/s with a 360° directional range and offers digital outputs such as RS422 or RS485 for easy integration with monitoring systems. Its durability, precision, and all-weather capability make the WindObserver 65 ideal for long-term outdoor and coastal wind monitoring applications.
