Benefícios e Características

  • Waterproof bearing lubricant and a sealed, heavy-duty cable pigtail instead of the standard junction box make it more durable at marine and off-shore locations
  • Compatible with most Campbell Scientific data loggers
  • Rugged enough for harsh environments
  • Constructed with thermoplastic material that resists corrosion from sea-air environments and atmospheric pollutants
  • Compatible with the LLAC4 4-channel Low-Level AC-Conversion Module, which increases the number of anemometers one data logger can measure
  • Uses stainless-steel, precision-grade ball bearings for the propeller shaft and vertical shaft bearings
  • Compatible with the CWS900-series interfaces, allowing it to be used in a wireless sensor network

Descrição Técnica

The 05106 Wind Monitor-MA is made out of rigid UV-stabilized thermoplastic with stainless steel and anodized aluminum fittings. The thermoplastic material resists corrosion from sea air environments and atmospheric pollutants. It uses stainless-steel precision-grade ball bearings for the propeller shaft and vertical shaft bearings.

To make it more durable in offshore and marine applications, the 05106 has waterproof bearing lubricant and a sealed, heavy-duty cable pigtail instead of the standard junction box.

The 05106 measures wind speed with a helicoid-shaped, four-blade propeller. Rotation of the propeller produces an ac sine wave that has a frequency directly proportional to wind speed. The ac signal is induced in a transducer coil by a six-pole magnet mounted on the propeller shaft. The coil resides on the non-rotating central portion of the main mounting assembly, eliminating the need for slip rings and brushes.

Wind direction is sensed by the orientation of the fuselage-shaped sensor body, which is connected to an internal potentiometer. The data logger applies a known precision excitation voltage to the potentiometer element. The output is an analog voltage signal directly proportional to the azimuth angle.
