| Low Maintenance, Long Life Due to our use of high-quality parts and manufacturing processes, our "Vector Instruments" brand A100 Series Anemometers and W200P Series Windvanes can operate for long periods, without needing any servicing or maintenance, while continuing to provide measurement accuracy exceeding that of competing "no moving parts" sensors.
Repair, Maintenance, Re-cal
For instruments that have already given years of service in the field, or instruments which have become damaged, we offer a Maintenance/Repair/Refurbishment service for the instruments we manufacture, along with (re)calibration services for our anemometers & windvanes. Please enquire.
Our factory aims to achieve a repaired/refurbished anemometer/windvane which performs "as new". Anemometers are completely stripped-down, electronics tested/adjusted as necessary, re-used parts are cleaned, then the anemometer is rebuilt using a brand-new bearings/spindle set and cable. Rotors are completely rebuilt with new cups and locking mechanism. Similar procedures are applied to windvanes. Having access to all original parts and test equipment means that the results of our Factory repair/refurbishment work is superior to the "field repairs" that others may offer.
Using our Factory Repair/Refurbishment services ensures that the value of your investment in "Vector Instruments" sensors is maximized by way of continued high-performance and accuracy over many years, and over many measurement campaigns/deployments at different sites. More... |
Dataloggers, Weather Stations Many dataloggers, including Campbell Scientific loggers, NRG loggers (Symphonie) and Secondwind loggers (Nomad 2), are compatible with our wind/weather instruments and together form very capable Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) suitable for many applications, including wind assessment. More... | Air Temperature Sensors

We also manufacture a miniature solar radiation shield, type T351, and a selection of compatible probes for air temperature measurement. Also available is the T302 UK Met Office pattern precision aspirated air temperature sensor.
The T351-HMP110 version of our T351 miniature shield/screen is now available - This model is fitted with a high quality HMP110 Relative Humidity & Temperature sensor and provides voltage output signals for RH and Temperature suitable for connection to most dataloggers. More... |
Porton Anemometer and Windvane These weather instruments, initially designed at the Chemical Defence Establishment at Porton Down in the UK during the 1960s, have been manufactured and improved by Vector Instruments since 1972 with a range of instruments for different purposes being available today. More... | Relative Humidity Sensors Several sensors for measuring the Relative Humidity of the air are available, including our T351-HMP110 voltage output RH&T sensor with screen/shield. More... |
4-20mA, Baro, Rain, other...
A range of Wind Indicators/alarms, 4-20mA converters, Barometers (Atmostpheric Pressure Sensors), Rain Gauges (Pluviometers), Surface-Wetness/Frost and Other Weather Sensors are also available. More... | /HE-4 Anti Icing Heater Option Our Anemometers and Windvanes can now be fitted with the new /HE-4 internal anti-icing heater option to help alleviate problems due to icing conditions. Because the /HE-4 heater is fitted inside the instrument, anti-icing effectiveness is improved, NO extra cables are required, and there is NO change to the instrument shape, dimensions or appearance meaning that optimum performance and accuracy is maintained.
