The KDS-131 Sensor measures wind speed and direction. It computes instantaneous & average wind speed and two-dimensional direction in the horizontal plane at the level of installation. The sensor uses non-contact sensing technology for both speed and direction. It is designed for long-term outdoor deployment in varying weather conditions.
Features
- Optical speed sensing, magnetic direction sensing
- Accurate time base and ratiometric acquisition
- Vector averaging for direction
- Vector and scalar averaging for speed
- Automatic internal electronics calibration
- Multi-point individual sensor calibration
- Digital and analog output options
- Durable, weather-proof
- Low maintenance
