The WSD-100 can withstand hurricane-force winds, yet is sensitive to a very light breeze. It features a hand-balanced wind direction vane for optimal stability and accuracy. The wind speed signal connects directly to one or two pulse inputs of an XR5-SE Data Logger. One pulse channel logs average wind speed, and a second pulse channel may be used to record peak wind speed. The wind direction signal connects to an XR5 analog input. No external power is required. The WSD-100 features sealed stainless steel ball bearings for long life, and includes 40 feet (12 meters) of attached cable. Typical mounting hardware is included for mounting to a pipe, wooden post, antenna mast, or similar structure. Some assembly is required, and additional mounting hardware may be required, depending on the installation (see Installation Guide for details).
Note: This is the only Pace sensor not compatible with the XR440. This sensor only works with the XR5 Data Logger.
