Calypso Wired BLE Anemometer

Calypso Wired BLE Anemometer Description

Small, light and incredibly compact the Calypso Ultrasonic Wired BLE 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 NMEA 0183 data output and Bluetooth 4.1 communication link allows you to simultaneously communicate the wind data to your boat's NMEA 0183 network and displays. In addition, you can view data locally with an IOS or Android compatible App via Bluetooth communication within 50m (line of sight), 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 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 Calypso Wired Bluetooth & WeatherFile Station.
