Sonic Anemometer
Product number 6415
The Sonic Anemometer is designed to measure wind-
related conditions without moving parts. Pairs of
electro-acoustic transducers in the anemometer send
sonic pulses back and forth, and measure the time it
takes for the pulse to travel from one to the other. This
time is affected by the movement of the air, which
allows the anemometer to calculate wind speed and
direction, calibrated by temperature measurements.
The sonic anemometer has its own solar panel which
charges its internal battery.
It can be used with an EnviroMonitor Node to add
wind data to an EnviroMonitor system, as well as a
replacement anemometer to your Davis weather
station. Installed in a Sensor Transmitter, it can be
used to include additional wind stations in your
existing system when reporting to a WeatherLink Live.
Tools and Materials Needed
You will need the following tools and materials to install your
anemometer:
• Cable clips or weather-resistant cable ties
Note: Make sure the clips or ties you use to secure the anemometer cable have screw holes or other
means for mounting the cable. Do not use metal staples to secure the cables.
• Small screwdriver
• Adjustable wrench

• Screws if mounting on a flat surface
