Model 05103-58 Wind Monitor

The Wind Monitor is an accurate and reliable wind sensor specifically designed for the rigors of the marine environment. The wind speed sensor is a four blades helicoid propeller. Unique transducer produces a pulse signal without electrical contacts or slip rings.The wind direction sensor is a durable molded vane. Vane angle is sensed by a precision potentiometer housed in sealed chamber. With known voltage applied to the potentiometer, the output voltage is directly proportional to vane angle. All materials are carefully selected for corrosion resistance and maximum durability in the harsh marine environment. Stainless steel bearings are used throughout. Special waterproof lubricant further enhances reliability. The instrument mounts on standard 1inch pipe. For specific applications, separate single conditioning devices are available. Model 05603C Wind Sensor Interface offers calibrated 0-5VDC outputs for wind speed and wind direction. Model 05631C Wind Line Driver provides calibrated 4-20 mA current signals for each channel, useful in high noise areas or for long cables of up to several kilo meters. Each interface circuit is supplied in a weatherproof junction box with mounting hardware for installation near the sensor.
