The WindSonic Option 1 sensor used in this system has an RS232 output and has a cable distance of 15m. If cabling distances are longer than this we can quote as required. For cable lengths over 20m a WindSonic Option 2 sensor with RS422/485 output is required - please contact us for a quotation.

The sensor is linked with the RS232 cable to our IP65 rated WS-15A Display Unit providing a clear digital readout of wind speed and direction plus a wind direction arrow with cardinal points. The display enables set-up of an optional wind speed alarm and provides an RS232 data output to connect to a SpaceLogger.W10 or SpaceLogger.W8.Wireless data logger or PC.

The system comes complete with a 0.9m anodised aluminium mounting mast and mains plug power supply. 12V UK or World plug options are available.

Includes:

• (1) WindSonic Option 1 wind speed and direction sensor (WS1)
• (1) WindSonic mounting mast (WSMOUNT)
• (1) 15m RS232 cable (WSRS232) between sensor and display unit
• (1) WS-15A Display unit (WS15ADISP)
• (1) Power supply unit (WSPSUK or WSPS)
