4.7.2.1 Tunnel Application
In the tunnel application, airflow can be presented with one mA output channel, because
airflow goes along the tunnel. Typically, a relatively long average time (time constant) for
wind speed parameter is applied.
The sensor must be installed in a tunnel so that the sensor’s North is aligned with the tunnel.
The Aout1 channel (x component) provides the airflow in the tunnel. The following figure
shows a typical WMT700 installation in a tunnel.
