010C Wind Speed Sensor
The 010C and 020C are made of stainless steel and anodized aluminum components and are functionally more reliable than any other sensors of their kind:
Features
- Low starting threshold
- Internal heater for long bearing life
- Low profile to minimize “sensor turbulence”
- High damping ratio
- Short delay distance
- Quick-disconnect connector
- Field-replaceable electronic components
- Ingress Protection Level 65 (IP65)
Reliability
- Built-in electrical field surge protection greatly reduces problems associated with static fields, near-miss lightning hits and poor grounding systems
- Inclusion of Met One Instruments’ internal heater (AC use only) provides positive clean aspiration through the bearings, thereby greatly increasing sensor bearing life
- Optional, external de-icing heater sleeve for applications where freezing rain, ice and low wind speeds may be encountered
