WindMaster 3-Axis Ultrasonic Anemometer

WindMaster 3-Axis Ultrasonic Anemometer

Designed and manufactured by Gill Instruments in the UK, it accurately and reliably measures three-dimensional wind speed and direction (or airflow).

The WindMaster anemometer performs high-performance measurements at fast output rates (up to 32Hz), providing data to inform research or supply control information to other systems, such as building ventilation or unmanned vessels.

Output protocol options for the WindMaster series include RS232, RS422, and RS485, as well as current or voltage analog output options.

All WindMaster models feature an environmental protection rating of IP65.

Ultrasonic technology uses solid-state technology to deliver accurate and reliable wind speed and direction data. With no moving parts, maintenance requirements are reduced, making the WindMaster an ideal choice for harsh weather environments and remote areas.

The WindMaster 3-axis ultrasonic anemometer is used by a range of customers to collect high-value information. Users include wind energy site surveyors, military engineers, and research scientists. The WindMaster is also chosen by many global OEMs and system integrators as a core sensor in their systems.

Additionally, a horizontal head design for high-precision vertical flow analysis or a right-angle head design for constrained installation scenarios is available.
