034B-LC

This version of the 034B Wind Set has a connector rather than the standard pigtails. The connector attaches to the CS110 Electric Field Meter or MetData1 Weather Station.

Met One’s 034B Windset combines an anemometer and vane into a single integrated package. It is constructed of lightweight aluminum and is designed for continuous long-term operation.

The 034B measures wind speed using a three-cup anemometer that contains a sealed magnetic reed switch. Rotation of the cupwheel produces a pulse that is directly proportional to wind speed. The frequency of the pulse is measured by the datalogger pulse count channel, then converted to engineering units (mph, m/s, knots).

Wind direction is sensed with a potentiometer. With the precision excitation voltage from the datalogger applied to the potentiometer element, the output signal is an analog voltage that is directly proportional to the azimuth of the wind direction.
