5. Overview
The 034B,
Wind Set
is used to measure horizontal wind speed and direction.
Wind speed is measured with a three cup anemometer. Rotation of the cup
wheel opens and closes a reed switch at a rate proportional to wind speed.
Vane position is transmitted by a 10 k
Ω
potentiometer. With a precision
excitation voltage applied, the output voltage is proportional to wind direction.
The Met One manual contains additional information on the operating
principals, installation, and maintenance of the sensor. The Met One manual is
available at their website (
Cable length for the 034B is specified when the sensor is ordered. TABLE
gives the recommended cable length for mounting the sensor at the top of the
tripod/tower with a CM202 crossarm.
