The Ultrasonic Wind Sensor provides accurate wind speed and wind direction measurement for AWOS, airport and professional meteorological applications without the moving components used by conventional cup-and-vane instruments. The 2040 and 2041 Series combine ultrasonic sensing, rugged 316 stainless-steel construction, configurable digital outputs and optional de-icing heat to provide reliable, low-maintenance wind monitoring across demanding environmental and icing conditions.

Key Features

• Ultrasonic wind speed and direction measurement
• No moving mechanical components
• Virtually maintenance-free operation
• No routine on-site calibration required
• Full 0°–360° wind-direction measurement
• 316 stainless-steel construction
• Heated and high-heat configurations available
• User-selectable wind units and data formats
• RS-422 digital communications
• Optional analog outputs
• Suitable for severe weather and icing environments

With no bearings, cups or mechanical vane to wear, routine mechanical maintenance is minimized; optional de-icing heating also supports continuous wind measurement at sites exposed to snow and icing.
