Gill MaxiMet GMX200 Wind Speed & Direction Sensor
Starts atWe have a selection of pre-made RS232 and RS485 cables available to accompany this sensor.
Extremely accurate solid state ultrasonic wind speed and direction sensor with built in electronic compass that automatically aligns the sensor to north. Optional GPS functionality delivers true wind measurements and automatically positions the sensor.
Product Description
The Gill MaxiMet GMX200 is a solid state ultrasonic sensor that delivers extremely accurate wind speed and direction measurements. An electronic compass comes as standard, calculating apparent wind, WMO wind averages and gust data.
The optional GPS adds the benefit of a true wind measurement, height above sea level, latitude and longitude and simplifies installation by automatically locating the sensor position.
The result is an extremely robust ultrasonic wind sensor that requires virtually no maintenance and can be installed quickly and easily, offering a fit and forget solution.
Richard Paul Russell Ltd. can connect the sensor to the WeatherFile.com website where data can be viewed using any internet connected device and downloaded for detailed analysis in a .CSV file format.
