High resolution wind
sensor designed specifically for air quality
applications
Combines simplicity and corrosion resistance
with low starting threshold
Fast response
Excellent fidelity in fl uctuating
wind conditions
Lightweight, carbon fi ber thermoplastic,
helicoid propeller, sensor body of UV
stabilized plastic with stainless steel
and anodized aluminum fittings
AC sine wave voltage signal with frequency
directly proportional to wind speed (This
AC sine wave is then squared to 0 to 5
VDC so signal is compatible with Model
8200A/8210 data loggers frequency inputs
on the 5600-0202 only.)
No slip rings or brushes
Direction sensed by precision potentiometer
that produces a DC voltage directly proportional
to vane angle

Hints
Connect speed output to counter input
of 8200A or 8210 Recorder. Connect direction
output to analog input.
Note: you must use the
wind speed/wind direction sensor definition
in the Enable sensors menu in the 8200A/8210
setup. Failure to do so will provide incorrect
i.e. nonvectored reading. Refer to chapter
6 and 7 of the 8200A/ 8210 Operations Manual
for setup information.
