WindSonic
WindSonic ultrasonic anemometers are designed to provide wind measurements and flexible output options. Customers around the world have found WindSonic easy to use and reliable and have integrated it into a wide range of their own products.
Designed and manufactured by Gill Instruments in the UK, WindSonic ultrasonic anemometers accurately and reliably measure wind speed and direction.
Cost, quality and performance requirements are met by WindSonic in demanding applications where robust construction and low maintenance requirements suit applications in harsh weather conditions or remote locations. All WindSonic anemometers transmit an instrumentation status code alongside the measurement outputs to confirm correct operation.
Output protocol options for WindSonic include RS232, RS422, RS485, SDI-12, NMEA, 0-5V or 0-20mA.
Environmental protection to IP66 across all WindSonic models.
Ultrasonic technology is used in WindSonic wind sensors to deliver highly accurate measurements with no moving parts to wear or recalibrate making WindSonic products extremely reliable and low maintenance. WindSonic anemometers are alternatives to traditional cup and vane or propeller wind sensors but with all the benefits of solid-state ultrasonic technology.
