HyQuest Solutions’ ultrasonic anemometers AR200 and WS200 provide precise and maintenance-free measurement of wind speed and wind direction. The compact devices are designed for applications in hydrology, meteorology and other weather-dependent applications where durability, precision and operations in different moderate climatic conditions are required.
The sensors are designed and developed with corrosion-resistant durable materials and with a solid structure. They are maintenance-free with no moving parts, light-weight and cost-effective for durable measuring performance. The devices are easy to use, install and integrate into 3rd party systems.
The sensors have been tested and approved against following environment conditions:
- High and low temperature ranges
- Humid weather (humidity and ingress protection)
- Windy and coastal environments (vibration and salt spray sustainability
- Measuring interval 4 Hz and gust according WMO guideline No8
- Output of current value as “3 seconds gliding mean value“
- Wind speed measurement up to 60 m/s (AR200) or up to 75 m/s (AR200P-H), or up to 45 m/s (WS200)
- Durable materials: teflon coated aluminum alloy (AR200), polycarbonate (WS200)
- Low power consumption
- No moving parts and maintenance-free
- High accuracy
- Optional heating (AR200P-H only)
- Low costs of installation and total costs of ownership
- Universal and selectable interfaces and protocols such as SDI-12 or RS 485
- M12 connector and cable
- Metric and imperial units
- Extended version AR200 E-H with wind speed up to 75 m/s, heater and electronic compass
HyQuest Solutions’ anemometers are especially suitable for applications in
