Wind Speed Sensor
The sensitive three cup anemometer is
mounted at one end of the sensor head
cross-arm. The rotational speed is monitored
using an infra-red light source, interrupter
and optical sensor that provides 20 pulses
from 0 to 5 V per revolution. This
non-contacting design can measure wind
speeds up to 75 m/sec.
The instrument has an anodised
aluminium alloy outer case that offers a
durable, all-weather construction suitable for
installation in harsh environments.
An output from this sensor is led to
a terminal box on the sensor cross arm, from
where a single sensor cable is taken to the
7-pin socket on the bottom panel of the environmental case.

Wind Direction Sensor
The weather vane is mounted at the other end of the sensor head cross-arm
from the anemometer.
DO NOT loosen the fitting of the weather vane, as this carries a
guide mark “N” that must point north to orient the cross arm correctly.
The wind vane is a small lightweight GMR design that offers a rapid
response to changes in wind direction with virtually friction free sensing. The
