The patented three transducer layout provides superior data availability
and accuracy in all wind directions. The effects of temperature,
humidity, and pressure are fully compensated. The sensor
communicates to the system or data logger via an fiber optic
connection. The message format is ASOS compatible.
The device has no moving parts, so it is virtually maintenance free. The
stainless steel construction makes it resistant to contamination and
corrosion. The sensor heating function of the ice-free model prevents
freezing rain and snow build-ups and thus guarantees uninterrupted
operations throughout the year.
