05305-LC

The 05305 is a high-performance wind-speed and wind-direction sensor designed specifically for air-quality measurements. It provides a lower starting threshold, faster response, and higher accuracy than the other wind monitors. However, to achieve the superior performance, the 05305 is less ruggedly constructed.

The 05305 is a lightweight instrument that measures wind speed and wind direction. Manufactured by R. M. Young, the wind monitor is cabled for use with Campbell Scientific dataloggers. The wind monitor's design emphasizes simplicity and lightweight construction. It is 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 monitor uses stainless-steel, precision-grade ball bearings for the propeller shaft and vertical shaft bearings.
