Wind Horizon Wind Measurement and Display Systems

Robust and accurate wind measurement and display systems with alarm functions using the unique Wind Horizon 2-axis ultrasonic anemometers together with the versatile Wind Tracker displays.

INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS OR FULLY INTEGRATED SYSTEM

The systems can be delivered as individual components for you to connect together yourself or alternatively if you purchase the optional interface kit we will connect and prewire the systems for you. The choice is yours!


SYSTEMS

There are 2 basic systems available, one with a single output from the anemometer to the display unit and the other with two anemometer outputs. Both systems are described below:

System with a SINGLE OUTPUT to the display unit

  • WH100M - Specifically for marine use. The digital NMEA output from the anemometer goes directly to the marine* wind display (or to a series of displays).

Systems with TWO OUTPUTS, one to the display unit leaving one available for input into another compatible system or PC.

  • WH300 - The analogue output from the anemometer can go directly to a single standard* display (or to a series of displays), whilst the digital output can go simultaneously to a PC.

  • WH300M - Specifically for marine use. The digital NMEA output from the anemometer goes directly to the marine* wind display (or to a series of displays), whilst the analogue output can be simultaneously input into your existing ship system or other compatible equipment as required.


ANEMOMETER OUTPUT

Digital signals are scaled to NMEA while analogue signals are scaled to 0-50 m/s by default.


OPERATING VOLTAGES

The systems can be configured for mains or battery operation. Our standard configurations are as follows:

  • Anemometer at 24 VDC and display at 230 VAC

  • Both anemometer and display at 24 VDC

  • Both anemometer and display at 230 VAC

  • Both anemometer and display at 110 VAC


CABLE

  • 12 m of cable is included between the anemometer and the display.

This can easily be extended to 25 m (or other lengths as required). For extended lengths we always supply the cable in two lengths with a connector rather than as one length as the weight and length of a single cable makes installation more difficult.

Wind Horizon 2-axis wind measurements

For the accurate and reliable measurement of horizontal wind speed and direction provides excellent cost and performance ratio. 

With no moving parts and therefore maintenance free and with a rugged stainless steel construction it is suitable for use in harsh and marine environments.

For full specifications please see anemometer details on the following pages:

For WH100M anemometer specifications refer to the Wind Horizon 100

For WH300 / WH300M anemometer specifications refer to the Wind Horizon 300

Wind Tracker display

This robust display (available in standard or marine format*) is perfect for a wide range of applications including the most demanding such as marine and crane use.

The display features visual and audible** alarms with time delays for both wind speed and direction. Wind speed can be shown as m/s, knots, mph or km/h. The standard Wind Tracker alarm function can be set to the nearest whole unit (i.e. 1 m/s, 1 km/hr, 1 mph... etc).

* the Standards unit displays 0 - 360o whilst the marine displays  0 - 180o

** the audible alarm requires a speaker which is not supplied with the system.

Specifications:  

Wind speed ranges:

0-135 mph, 0-60 m/s, 0-220 km/hr, 1-116 knots

Wind direction ranges:

0-360 degrees, 36 points

Alarm relays:

normally open contacts. Contact rating: 2A max

Remote displays:

up to 16 remote displays can be connected as repeater units

Dimensions:

5.65 x 5.65 x 1.4 in

Weight:

1 lb
