Robust Design and Reliability
The WindMeter boasts a rugged construction that withstands extreme weather conditions, ensuring uninterrupted operation in harsh environments. Its mechanical plug-and-play sensor design simplifies installation and maintenance, making it an ideal choice for both new installations and upgrades to existing wind monitoring systems.
Digital Connectivity
Equipped with an RS485 digital output, the WindMeter streamlines data transmission, especially in multi-instrument setups. This feature allows for the creation of a unified data bus, consolidating readings from various sensors and simplifying overall system architecture.
Versatile Installation Options
The WindMeter comes with a M8-4 pole connector, facilitating rapid installation and efficient maintenance. This design feature also supports the use of multi-probe plug&play systems, enabling easier routine checks and reducing downtime during servicing.
Compatibility and Certification
Fully compatible with industry-standard data loggers like the Ammonit Meteo-40, the WindMeter seamlessly integrates into existing monitoring infrastructures. For applications requiring the highest level of accuracy, a MEASNET center-calibrated version is available, ensuring compliance with stringent industry standards.
Accessories
- Vanemeter
- Support rod
- USB/RS485 interface cable
- USB/MICRO-USB smartphone adapter
- Sm configuration for Android smartphone and tabletSMCONFIG allows you to configure Windmeter in the field from your Android smartphone. It is no longer necessary to bring sensor back to the laboratory for configuration.The software allows you to:
- configure Windmeter.
- make a diagnosis of the basic functions.
- log irradiance, temperature and wind (Sunmeter Wind only) readings.
The software is available for free on this page in the downloads area. In addition to the software it is necessary to have a USB / RS485 converter, an adapter cable between microUSB/USB and a female connector M8 4 pin.
In the Download area you can find a wiring diagram of our cable that connects Smartphone/Tablet or PC with windmeter, it takes and transforms the voltage present on the USB (Price on request). Alternatively, it is possible to use other cables with external power supply (9V battery).
