Overview

RM Young Wind Sentry Anemometer (-50 to +50C)

The 03101 is the three-cup anemometer included with our Wind Sentry Sets. You can purchase it separately if your application requires only wind speed measurements. The 03101 connects directly to a Campbell Scientific data logger, which measures the anemometer's pulse signal and converts the signal to engineering units (mph, m/s, knots).

Key Advantages

Reliable, Accurate Wind Speed
Compatible with most Campbell Scientific data loggers

Technical Description

The 03101 uses a cup wheel assembly to measure wind speed. Rotation of the cup wheel produces an ac sine wave that is directly proportional to wind speed. The frequency of the ac signal is measured by a data logger pulse count channel, then converted to engineering units (mph, m/s, knots). Campbell Scientific’s version uses shielded bearings, which lowers the anemometer’s threshold.

Benefits

  • Ideal for applications that do not require wind direction measurements
  • Compatible with most Campbell Scientific data loggers
  • Designed for continuous, long-term, unattended operation in adverse conditions
  • Small size, simplicity, and rugged construction provide a quality instrument for a modest price
  • Ideal for wind profile studies
  • Compatible with the LLAC4 4-channel Low-Level AC-Conversion Module, which increases the number of anemometers one data logger can measure
  • Campbell Scientific version uses shielded bearings, which lowers the anemometer's starting threshold
