The Wind Monitors are light-weight instruments that measure wind speed and direction. Manufactured by RM Young, the Wind Monitors are cabled for use with our dataloggers. The Wind Monitors' design emphasizes simplicity and lightweight construction. They are made out of rigid UV-stabilized thermoplastic with stainless steel and anodized aluminum fittings. The thermoplastic material resists corrosion from sea air environments and atmospheric pollutants. The Wind Monitors use stainless steel precision-grade ball bearings for the propeller shaft and vertical shaft bearings.
The 05106 Wind Monitor-MA is a robust instrument designed for offshore and marine applications. It features waterproof bearing lubricant and a sealed, heavy-duty cable pigtail instead of the standard junction box.
