Calypso Portable Anemometer

Calypso Portable Anemometer Description

Small, light and incredibly compact the Calypso Ultrasonic Bluetooth anemometer is solar powered, & IPX8 rated making it ideal for remote applications when a power supply is unavailable or limited. Self-powered via an integral solar panel the unit can operate for 29 days without charging while actively measuring and up to 1 year in sleep mode.

The unit communicates via Bluetooth 4.1 over a range of up to 50m (clear line of sight). Data can be viewed using an IOS or Android compatible App (see links below).

Apps are available for Android and IOS as follows.
• Calypso Anemotracker Marine App Android. Calculates simulated wind, true/apparent wind and is a tracker for sailing vessels.
• Calypso Anemotracker Marine App IOS. Calculates simulated wind, true/apparent wind and tracker for sailing vessels.
• WeatherFile BLE App Android (For terrestrial use). Displays live wind speed and direction, calculates and displays WMO 3 second gusting average, logs and shares data.

The sensor can also be connected to the WeatherFile Communication Unit (WCU) via the NMEA Gateway to create a complete end to end IoT connected weather station solution, see the Calypso Wireless Bluetooth & WeatherFile Station.

Incredibly simple to install the sensor simply screws onto the 33cm high quality aluminium mounting mast that is included, this mounting mast has a base compatible with standard VHF antenna mounts (1"-14 UNS thread), (Ø 20 drill to allow wiring). Other mast options are available, please see Calypso Sensor Mounting Masts for the full range.
