WindObserverII

Product catalog summary

Specifications:
The Gill WindObserver II is a precision ultrasonic anemometer designed for marine and offshore applications. It operates on 9-30 VDC with an optional heating system requiring 3A at 24 VAC or DC. The device measures wind speeds from 0 to 65 m/s with a starting threshold of 0.01 m/s and an accuracy of ±2% at 12 m/s. Wind direction is measured from 0 to 359° with an accuracy of ±2° at 12 m/s. The anemometer supports RS422/RS485 communication with various baud rates and data formats.

Mechanical and Environmental Features:
Constructed from stainless steel 316, the anemometer is IP66 rated, suitable for harsh environments including salt-water exposure. It operates in temperatures from -55°C to +70°C with a precipitation tolerance of 300mm/hr. The device is compliant with EMC standards EN 61000-6-2: 2001 and EN 61000-6-3: 2001, and icing standards MILSTD810F Method 521.2 Procedure I.

Output and Calibration:
The anemometer provides digital output and optional analogue outputs with a variety of parameters and units. It features a selectable vector rolling average and gust measurement in line with WMO guidelines. No site calibration is required, but an integrity check unit is available as an optional extra.

Applications:
The WindObserver II is suitable for a range of applications including building controls, transport safety, marine vessel positioning, and wind turbine control. It is particularly recommended for high altitude and marine environments due to its robust construction and optional de-icing system.
