The wind transmitter is designed for the acquisition of the horizontal component of the wind speed in the field of meteorology and environmental measuring technology. The measuring value is available as digital signal at the output. It can be transmitted to display instruments, recording instruments, data loggers as well as to process control systems. For winter operation the instrument is equipped with an electronically regulated heating, which guarantees a smooth running of the ball bearings, and prevents the shaft and slot from icing-up.
2. Construction and Mode of Operation
A low-inertia cup star with 3 cups, made of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic, is set into rotation by the wind. The rotation is scanned opto-electronically, and is converted into a rectangular signal. The frequency of this signal is proportional to the number or rotations. Depending on the connection, the output signal ranges between maximal output voltage and ground or a potential (life-zero), lifted by approx. 1,2 v. The supply of the electronics can be effected by dc-voltage of 3,3 v up to 42 v at a very low current consumption. An ac- or dc-voltage of 24 v is intended for the separate supply of the optional heating. In all probability, the heating guarantees a trouble-free function of the Wind Transmitter First Class even under extreme meteorological icing-conditions.| Order-No. | 4.3350.00.000 | 4.3350.10.000 |
