Calypso Wired Anemometer

Calypso Wired Anemometer Description

Small, light and incredibly compact the Calypso Ultrasonic Wired anemometer has been designed to remove mechanical parts and to maximise reliability and minimise maintenance. The transducers communicate between themselves two by two using ultrasonic range waves. Each couple of transductors calculate the signal delay and get information about both, wind direction and wind speed.

The sensor comes complete with 20 metres of cable and a 33cm aluminium mounting mast and is 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.

For terrestrial applications, the sensor can also be connected to the WeatherFile Communication Unit (WCU) to create a complete end to end IoT connected wind monitoring solution, see the WeatherFile WF1 Weather Station.
