Wind speed and Wind direction Sensor MS&E

Sensor MS&E PISPV-4 is in production list of the Consortium "MS&E" since the end of 2008 and is designed to measure speed and direction of the wind from automatic weather stations models MS&E-3, MS&E-4 and automatic anemometer MS&E DL Wind-2. It consist of bodies of aluminum alloy, impeller, wind vane from aluminum alloy and 10 m signal cable.

Construction:

Sensor MS&E PISPV-4 is composed of two separate sensors: for wind speed and for wind direction. Sensors are provided with anti-icing heating, driven by electronic thermostats.

Transducers: Proximity – optocouplers

Output:

- Speed - frequency directly proportional to wind speed

- Direction - 7 bit parallel code of Gray;

Power supply:

Electronics for the sensors:

- DC, from 10 to 15V

- Current consumption at 12 V - 80 mA.

To heat sensors

- DC 12 to 20V

- Current consumption at 15 V - 2 A.

Metrological characteristics of the wind direction:

-Measuring range from 0 ° to 360 °;

-Resolution of <3 °;

-Absolute measurement error of - ± 1.5 ° including the error for finding the North

Metrological characteristics of wind speed:

-Measuring range from 0.4 m/s to 50.0 m/s;

-Resolution 0.1 m/s.

-Relative error of measurement:

from 0.4 to 10 m/s - ± 0.15 m / s

10 to 50 m/s -better than 2%
