Gill Instruments Ultrasonic 2D Wind Sensors - WindSonic
High quality, general purpose, ultrasonic wind sensors
- High accuracy, low cost wind measurement
- Excellent reliability, low maintenance
- Models and outputs to suit varied applications
The Gill WindSonic is a low-cost anemometer, which utilises Gill’s proven ultrasonic technology to provide wind speed and direction data via one
serial or two analogue outputs. To confirm correct operation, outputs are transmitted together with an instrument status code.
With a robust, corrosion-free polycarbonate housing, this small, lightweight wind sensor is recommended for use in harsh environmental conditions and is particularly suited to marine & offshore (ships, data buoys) and land based installations. The WindSonic has no moving parts, offering maintenance-free operation in a wide range of applications.
