Product Description

VENTUS ULTRASONIC WIND SENSOR UMB
Ultrasonic anemometer, 240W heater, metal housing.

Extremely precise and maintenance-free measurement of wind velocity and wind direction as well as calculation of acoustic virtual temperature.

Includes 240W heater for use in cold climates.

The ultrasonic wind sensor is designed without mechanical parts as opposed to traditional “cups and vanes”. Features a robust design and precise measurements allowing for efficiency and accuracy of project control.

The digital or analog output delivers instantaneous, average, min or max value with flexible measuring rate. The VENTUS is heated in case reaching critical ambient conditions. Made for cold climate!

Recommended for:

  • Wind turbines
  • Marine/ships
  • Meteorology
  • Building automation

The following outputs are available:

  • NMEA
  • ASCII
  • UMB
  • 4... 20 mA, 0...10V
  • SDI12
  • MODBUS (ASCII, RTU)
