Wind Speed and Direction Sensor Module
Ultrasonic 2D Anemometer for weather monitoring applications
The Ultrasonic 2D Anemometer is a compact ultrasonic wind speed and wind direction sensor. It is designed to simultaneously measure the 2-dimensional horizontal components of the wind speed and direction. Using an ABS shell, a lighter but robust structure is offered. With a built-in intelligent heating module, It works normally under extremely cold and freezing weather conditions.
The advanced support electronics of this sensor makes it compact and reliable. The wind speed and direction sensor module comes as an external accessory. It can be integrated with our Ambient air quality monitoring station range, Odour monitoring device range and Weathercom ambient weather station.
The sensor module casing is a plug and play module. The sensor works on Ultrasonic technology. With no moving parts, the sensor module give long term accurate results with low maintenance. The module is robust and works with great stability in extreme weather conditions. Also, this module has shown great long term stability and accuracy.
All our products can be integrated with this sensor module. Therfore, this module is ideal for Traffic control, Meteorology, Oil drilling platform, Marine application, Industrial automation, Wind power plant and Weather station.

On a typical sonic anemometer, a transducer sends a pulse of ultrasonic sound from the ‘North’ facing side of the sensor. A microprocessor measures t time it takes to travel to the ‘South’ transducer. The wind speed is calculated from the time it takes the ultrasound to travel to the opposite transducer. Measurement times are affected by the wind speed and direction blowing along the line between the transducers. Without moving parts, measurement is immediate and precise.
