Wind Speed & Direction Sensor Key Features Wind Speed & Direction Sensor  0-60m/s (116 knots) Wind Speed  0-359º Wind Direction  NMEA output  Low Power consumption  Fast start-up  Solid-state – maintenance-free  Corrosion Free  The Gill WindSonic is a low-cost anemometer, which utilises Gill’s proven ultrasonic technology to provide wind speed and direction data via one serial or two analogue outputs. To confirm correct operation, outputs are transmitted together with an instrument status code. With a robust, corrosion-free polycarbonate housing, this small, lightweight wind sensor is recommended for use in harsh environmental conditions and is particularly suited to marine & offshore (ships, data buoys) and land based installations. The WindSonic has no moving parts, offering maintenance-free operation in a wide range of applications.
