The Anemometer Wind Speed Measuring Device AN0032R is a device that measures wind speed and direction. It is a common instrument used in weather stations and meteorology. The earliest known description of an anemometer was by Italian architect and author Leon Battista Alberti in 14501.
The device can be either in a contained flow like airflow in a duct or in the unconfined flows like the atmospheric wind. To determine the air velocity, anemometers are able to detect the change in some physical properties of the fluid. Sometimes to measure the effect of the fluid on a mechanical device inserted into the flow. Anemometers can be categorized into two categories such as portable handheld anemometers and those affixed to the ground at weather stations2. The Anemometer Wind Speed Measuring Device AN0032R is a weather station instrument that measures wind speed. It derives its name from the Greek word “anemos,” meaning wind, and describes any wind speed instrument used in meteorology.
Features of Anemometer Wind Speed Measuring Device AN0032R:
- Salient and smooth operation
- Digital pulse output
- Hall effect sensor-based
- Pulses vary depending on the wind speed
- Active low pulse indicates one full rotation
- Output is internally pulled high, so there is no need to connect a pull-up resistor
- 3-meter long waterproof cable
- Simple installation with nuts and bolts
- Secure and fasten all the nuts and bolts before operating the device
- Red wire = 5V DC
- Black wire = GND
- Green/yellow wire = output
Please note the following conditions:
- Keep the bearing lubricated for best operations and longer life
- Mount the base on a sturdy platform to keep the device stable
- Avoid any kind of vibrations while reading the output data
- This device is not 100% waterproof and can be operated in mild rainy conditions
- Cover the device if unused and keep it lubricated.
