The intrinsically safe Wind Monitor-IS is a high-performance wind sensor approved for use in hazardous locations.* The Wind Monitor-IS can be safely used in Class 1, Division 1, Groups A, B, C, and D hazardous locations.* The wind speed sensor is a four-bladed propeller. The propeller drives a reliable, non-contacting transmitter. The wind direction sensor is a rugged, molded wind vane. The angle of the vane is sensed by a precise, durable potentiometer in a sealed chamber. Internal circuitry converts the wind speed and direction signals into separate 4 to 20 mA current outputs. The instrument is constructed of UV-stabilized plastic with stainless steel and anodized aluminum fittings. The device installs on a standard 1-inch pipe.
*Tested in accordance with UL 913, Intrinsically Safe Equipment and Related Equipment, for use in Class I, II, and III Division I Hazardous (Classified) Locations. Must be properly installed with an approved intrinsically safe barrier.
