Heated WMT52 ultrasonic wind sensor with SDI-12 communication protocol - Measures horizontal wind speed and wind direction with proven Vaisala WINDCAP sensor technology
- Triangular design ensures excellent data availability and 360 degree measurement accuracy
- Easy integration with NexSens data logging & telemetry products
The Vaisala WMT52 Ultrasonic Wind Sensor is another product resulting from decades of Vaisala experience in wind measurement. The WMT52 uses ultrasound to determine horizontal wind speed and direction. It has no moving parts, making it superior to the conventional mechanical wind sensors. It is also very economical - there is no need for field calibration or maintenance.
The WMT52 is ideal for use in marine applications, as both the housing and mounting kit are water-resistant to IP-66 rating. The WMT52 is also suitable for wind energy and environmental monitoring. The sensor is fully compatible with the NexSens iSIC line of data loggers - remote data transmission is available via direct-connect, radio, cellular, landline phone, and Ethernet telemetry.
The WMT52 is delivered fully assembled and configured from the factory. With the optional Vaisala Configuration Software Tool, the user can change the settings, such as averaging times, output mode, update intervals, measured variables and message contents. The optional heated model accurately measures wind characteristics in freezing weather conditions and snowfall. Heating is switched on automatically at low temperatures, well before the freezing point. |
