The HD52.3D ultrasonic anemometer provides reliable and accurate wind measurements without moving parts, reducing mechanical wear and maintenance-related downtime. This compact 2-axis ultrasonic anemometer measures wind speed, wind direction, wind gusts, and U-V wind components. Optional sensors allow the device to be expanded into a compact weather station.
For easy integration into data loggers, PLC systems, and meteorological monitoring networks, the HD52.3D features two analog outputs for wind speed and wind direction, as well as RS232, RS485, RS422, and SDI-12 serial interfaces. Depending on the application, the device supports ASCII, NMEA, Modbus-RTU, and SDI-12 communication protocols. Averaging intervals for wind speed and wind direction can be configured from 1 second to 10 minutes.
Optional sensor modules allow the measurement capabilities to be expanded according to specific requirements. Available options include air temperature and relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, and either global solar radiation or precipitation. Solar radiation and precipitation are available as alternative options.
The integrated magnetic compass compensates wind measurements with reference to magnetic north. This makes the HD52.3D suitable for mobile applications where fixed north alignment cannot be guaranteed. For operation in low temperatures and winter conditions, an optional heating system is available to help prevent ice formation on the ultrasonic transducers.
The HD52.3D is a versatile solution for meteorological monitoring stations, industrial applications, and mobile measurement systems requiring reliable wind data and flexible system integration.
