    Wind Sentry Anemometer

Model:
014A-L
Item Number:
2006
Warranty:
1 year

Overview

The 014A, manufactured by Met One, is a three-cup anemometer that monitors wind speed for the range of 0 to 45 m/s with a threshold of 0.45 m/s. You connect the 014A directly to a Campbell Scientific data logger, which measures the anemometer's pulse signal and converts the signal to engineering units (mph, m/s, knots).

Key Advantages

Reliable, Accurate Wind Speed
Compatible with all Campbell Scientific data loggers

Technical Description

The 014A is constructed of corrosion-resistant, stainless-steel and anodized aluminum. It's three-cup anemometer assembly contains a sealed magnetic reed switch. Rotation of the cupwheel produces a pulse that is directly proportional to wind speed.

Product Notes

requires CM220 or 1049

Benefits

  • Ideal for applications that do not require wind direction measurements
  • Sealed magnetic reed switch
  • Designed for continuous, long-term, unattended operation in adverse conditions
  • Standard aluminum cup assembly has a distance constant of less than 4.5 m
  • For greater sensitivity, an optional LEXAN cup assembly has a distance constant of less than 1.5 m

Compatibility

Mounting

The 014A attaches to a Campbell Scientific crossarm using a 1049 Nu-Rail fitting or CM220 Right Angle Mounting Bracket. It also can be attached to the top of our CM110, CM115, and CM120 stainless-steel tripods using the CM216 Sensor Mounting Kit.

Data Logger Considerations

The 014A uses one pulse count channel on the data logger.

Programming

The 014A is read by the PulseCount Instruction in CRBasic and by Instruction 3 (Pulse Count) in Edlog. Wind speed measurements can be taken and processed with any of the data loggers.
