Wind Direction Transmitter ”First Class“

Part number: 4.3151.10.020

  • Description

    4.3151.xx.xxx
    The wind transmitter is designed for the acquisition of the horizontal component of the wind direction in the field of meteorology and environmental measuring technology, evaluation of location, and measurement of capacity characteristics of wind power systems.

    • With active (electrical) potentiometer
    • Without heating
    Special characters are a defined and optimised, dynamic behaviour as well as:
    • High level of measuring accuracy and resolution
    • High damping ratio at a small delay distance
    • Low starting threshold
    • Very low power consumption
    • No wear of the potentiometer due to mechanical stress
    • Overvoltage and reverse polarity protection

    The measuring value is available at the output as analogue signal. The output signal can be transmitted to display instruments, recording instruments, data loggers as well as to process control systems. For winter operation the instrument (4.3151.00.x1x) is equipped with an electronically regulated heating.

    Geovane_FirstClass

    Geovane


    The product set combines the precise wind vanes from Thies CLIMA with the advanced Geovane from Kintech Engineering. The Geovane uses GPS and the sun position to automatically determine the exact north direction 1° accurate. This combination ensures the highest accuracy of wind direction against the geographic north point as a reference.

    • Geovane for automatic north correction
    • 1° precise wind vanes from Thies CLIMA
    • Wind vane and geovane are preconfigured
    • Ideal e.g. for site surveys, power curve monitoring and meteorology
