Lufft WS200 Ultrasonic Wind Sensor

The Lufft WS200 ultrasonic wind sensor simultaneously measures wind speed & direction with an integrated electronic compass for corrected wind direction on moving platforms.

Features

• Four ultrasound sensors take cyclical measurements in all directions
• Easily mounts to 2" diameter pipe with integrated bracket mount & U-bolts
• SDI-12 output for integration with NexSens and other data loggers

Details

Overview
The Lufft family of multi-parameter weather sensors offer a cost-effective, compact alternative for the acquisition of a variety of measurement parameters on land- and buoy-based weather stations. Depending on the model, each sensor will measure a different combination of weather parameters to meet a wide variety of applications.

Wind Speed & Direction
The wind sensor uses four ultrasound sensors which take cyclical measurements in all directions. The resulting wind speed and direction are calculated from the measured run-time sound differential.

Compass
The integrated electronic compass can be used to check the north-south adjustment of the sensor housing for wind direction measurement. It is also used to calculate the compass-corrected wind direction.
