WindMaster

Product catalog summary

Overview
The Gill WindMaster is a precision 3-axis ultrasonic anemometer designed for accurate wind measurement. It measures wind speeds from 0 to 50 m/s and provides data on sonic temperature, speed of sound, and U, V, & W vector outputs at a standard rate of 20Hz, with an optional 32Hz.

Specifications

Wind Speed: Range 0-50 m/s, Resolution 0.01 m/s, Accuracy <1.5% RMS at 12 m/s (standard), <1% RMS at 12 m/s (custom).
Wind Direction: Range 0-359°, Resolution 0.1°, Accuracy 2° at 12 m/s (standard), 0.5° at 12 m/s (custom).
Sonic Temperature: Range -40°C to +70°C, Resolution 0.01°C, Accuracy ±2°C within -20°C to +30°C.
Speed of Sound: Range 300-370 m/s, Resolution 0.01 m/s, Accuracy < ±0.5% at 20°C.

Measurement and Output
The anemometer offers flexible output parameters ranging from 1 to 32 Hz and supports various units of measure including m/s, mph, kph, knots, and ft/min. It provides data in UVW, Polar, or NMEA formats.

Digital and Analogue Outputs
Communication is facilitated through RS232, 422, 485, and Binary with baud rates from 2400 to 57600. Optional analogue outputs include 12 or 14-bit resolution with user-selectable full-scale wind speed.

Power and Mechanical Specifications
The device operates on 9-30 VDC power, weighing 1.0 kg, and measuring 750mm x 240mm. It is constructed from aluminium and carbon fibre.

Environmental and Compliance
It is rated IP65 for protection, operates in temperatures from -40°C to +70°C, and complies with EMC standards BS EN 61000 - 6 - 3 and BS EN 61000 - 6 - 2.

Applications
The WindMaster is suitable for use in various environments including power lines, measurement masts, bridges, skyscrapers, viaducts, wind turbine test sites, building ventilation control systems, and meteorological and flux measurement sites.
