ULTIMETER® Anemometer/Wind Vane, Standard model (for replacement or special application). Standard wind sensor for all ULTIMETER weather stations manufactured before 2006 (and all Weatherbase weather stations). Supplied with 4-conductor cable.
The ULTIMETER Anemometer/Wind Vane (“wind sensor”) is a patented, uniquely all-digital design containing two magnetic switches. Unlike conventional wind sensors, the ULTIMETER Anemometer’s patented digital design has no potentiometer or other friction contacts to wear out. It features bearings that are virtually corrosion proof, with self-lubricating Delrin® races and surgical steel balls. The precision-molded housing of UV-resistant Lexan® will resist the harshest elements for many years.
