Vaisala introduces the new Vaisala WINDCAP Ultrasonic Wind Sensor WMT50 developed for measuring horizontal wind speed and direction.
The WMT50 has an array of three equidistant ultrasonic transducers on a horizontal plane to ensure accurate wind measurement from any direction. The sensor has no moving parts, it is resistant to corrosion. Heating is optionally available in the WMT50. The triangular design in the WMT50 resolves any wake interference caused by the transducers on measurement paths. The WMT50 comes with a choice of four configurable serial interfaces: SDI-12, RS-232, RS-485, and RS-422. Also, the serial output modes, protocols, measurement frequency as well as data averaging and updating intervals are all configurable. Typical applications for the Vaisala WINDCAP Ultrasonic Wind Sensor WMT50 include meteorology, wind energy, marine, transport, pollution control and agriculture.
