Davis Sonic Anemometer

Sonic Anemometer

Measure wind with no moving parts. Use with a Sensor Transmitter or an EnviroMonitor Node, or as a replacement anemometer for wireless and cabled Vantage Pro2.

The Davis Sonic Anemometer has no moving parts – it measures wind speed and direction with electro-acoustic transducers that send sonic pulses back and forth. The time it takes for the pulses to travel from one transducer to the other is affected by the movement of air. Speed and direction can then be calculated, with calibration for air temperature. The Sonic Anemometer has its own solar panel that charges an internal battery. It can be used with an EnviroMonitor Node, or as a replacement anemometer for your Davis weather station. It can also be installed in a Sensor Transmitter to create additional wind stations when reporting to WeatherLink Live.

Solar-powered with battery backup. Includes mounting hardware, battery, aligning tool, and 40 ft (12 m) cable.

Works with Sensor Transmitter (#6332 or 6331) or EnviroMonitor Node (#6810). (When using with an EnviroMonitor Node, use an RJ Connector Node Adapter.)

"The Sonic Anemometer is designed to measure wind-related conditions without moving parts. Pairs of electro-acoustic transducers in the anemometer send sonic pulses back and forth, and measure the time it takes for the pulse to travel from one to the other. This time is affected by the movement of the air, which allows the anemometer to calculate wind speed and direction, calibrated by temperature measurements. The sonic anemometer has its own solar panel, so requires no external power. It can be used with an EnviroMonitor Node to add wind data to an EnviroMonitor system, as well as a replacement anemometer to your Davis weather station. Installed in a Sensor Transmitter, it can be used to include additional wind stations in your existing system when reporting to a WeatherLink Live."
