Details:
The Vaisala WMT52 Ultrasonic Wind Sensor incorporates decades of Vaisala experience in wind measurement using ultrasound to determine horizontal wind speed and direction. The WMT52 has no moving parts; thus making it superior to the conventional mechanical wind sensors. It is also very economical; there is no need for field calibration or maintenance.
The WMT52 is ideal for use in marine applications, as the housing with mounting kit is water resistant to IP66. The WMT52 is also suitable for wind energy and environmental monitoring. The sensor is fully compatible with NexSens iSIC line of data loggers, and remote data transmission is available via direct-connect, radio, cellular, landline phone, and Ethernet telemetry.
The WMT52 is delivered fully assembled and configured from the factory. With the Vaisala Configuration Software Tool you can change the settings, such as averaging times, output mode, update intervals, measured variables and message contents. The WMT52 can be mounted either on top of a pole mast or on a cross arm. When using the optional mounting kit, the north alignment needs to be performed only once.
With the optional heated version of the WMT52, wind measurements can accurately be opbtained in freezing weather conditions and during snowfall events. The heating circuit is independent of the operational power, allowing separate supplies to be used. Heating is switched on automatically at low temperatures, well before the freezing point.
