details about recycling by contacting the local authorities in charge of Environment Protection in your country. 

European Union (and European Economic Area) only. 

These pictograms indicate that the product cannot be disposed of with waste, according to 
the European Directive DEEE (2002/96/CE), the Directive applying to batteries disposal 

(2006/66/CE) and local waste regulations following these directives. When a chemical toxicity pictogram is 
printed below this one, according to the Directive applying to batteries disposal, it means that Heavy Metals 
are present (Hg = mercury, Cd = cadmium, Pb = lead) in the battery at or above the applicable cut-off 
concentration specified in the Directive. This product must be given to a disposal centre, i.e. when you 
purchase a new similar product, or to a designated collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and 
electronic equipment (EEE). Wrong behaviour in disposal can have consequences on the environment and 
human health, because of the potentially hazardous substances generally associated to electric and electronic 
equipment. Your contribution to a correct disposal of this product will contribute to efficient use of natural 
resources.

2. Introduction

A conventional Wind-vane Anemometer includes mechanical rotating parts. These parts are subject to wear 
and they represent sources of failure of the sensor. Our ultrasonic sensor has been designed to avoid this and 
to ensure reliable and stable operation. This Wind-vane-anemometer shows very stable results over a long 
term and with no maintenance.  

The sound (and ultrasound) is conveyed by the 
movement of the fluid in which it crosses. The electro 
acoustic transducers (1) communicate between 
themselves two by two using ultrasonic signals (2) to 
determine, following the orthogonal axes, the wave 
transit time differences induced by the air flow (3). The
