WindObserver

 
   
The WindObserver II has all of the performance features of the WindSonic plus increased speed range, an optional de-icing system extending the operational temperature range, stainless steel construction, IP66 enclosure, sonic temperature output and averaging
(1-3600s). The WindObserver II has a proven record in airport, offshore, marine and naval applications. The WindObserver II has been rigorously tested to a number of international standards.

The High Speed WindObserver offers the first class performance of the WindObserverII but has been enhanced to measure wind speed and direction to wind speeds of 75 m/s (168 mph). This proves essential in applications involving tornados and tropical storms, in land based and offshore applications. The small opposing transducers provide maximum possible directional ultrasonic signals (used to provide wind data) whilst ensuring the minimum of wind distortion. The instrument includes a de-icing system as standard to extend the operational temperature range.
This first class wind speed and direction sensor has been proven in many applications worldwide and complements the range of wind speed and direction (anemometer) products from Gill.

An Intrinsically Safe WindObserver is also available which complies with the ATEX directive, specifically designed for use on offshore oil platforms and petrochemical plants. The WindObserver II has been type approved by the Lloyd's Register of London.
