Usonic-Kombinierter Ultraschall-Sensor Modbus

The wind sensor u[sonic] is very robust, compact and extremely reliable. When developing this sensor particular consideration has been given to highest quality for fulfi lment of meteorological requirements. The system acquires the horizontal air fl ow and processes the measuring data to the meteorological parameters wind speed and wind direction.

The sensor is mounted in a splash water- and dust proof metal housing (IP66 and IP67) and can be immersed temporarily.The measuring data are automatically transmitted via serial interface RS 485 in talker mode, when power supply is switched on.Due to their shock- and vibration proof construction the sensor u[sonic] is particularly qualifi ed for use under severe environmental conditions. The housing is made of anodised seawater resistant aluminium and stainless steel.
