Anemometer, 3-Cup Wired, Reed Switch Signal

Wind speed measurement, 2-wire signal connection, reed switch count signal, manufactured in USA. This anemometer using the time-proven and enduringly popular 3-cup rotation design that has been used in wind assessments for decades, manufactured to precise industry standards. The rotor is made of tough polycarbonate for exceptional durability and reliability. The sensor base is also made of rugged polycarbonate, making it more resistant to damage during installation and use. Manufactured in the USA with exceptional quality control—all units are tested mechanically and electronically before shipping. The sensor is made entirely of Lexan, a strong plastic that makes the anemometer less likely to break during installation and operation. Its distinctive vinyl boot shields wiring for long-term performance.  Note: The ET-40RS does not come with the stub mount. The stub mount can be purchased separately here. Applications Anemometer for wind resource assessment instrumentation Research measurements in environmental studies Engineering studies on wind effects on bridges, skyscrapers Control anemometer for new or existing wind warning devices Features Very simple, RoHS compliant, elegantly engineered construction Dirt and water resistant, modified Teflon bearing system All corrosion resistant materials All three cups molded in one piece for repeatable performance Professional qualities at a minimum price Specifications Threshold: Starting threshold – 0.75 m/s (1.75 mph) Cup distance constant (63% recovery) -3.0m (10 ft.)
