The W200 series windvanes are high quality instruments for measuring wind direction, which have proven themselves over many years in applications from general meteorology to wind assessment.
Our windvanes are all "premium quality", our standard
W200P windvane is a popular & durable choice for demanding Wind Assessment applications, having "First Class" performance to meet the requirements of the
IEC61400-12-1 standard.
A NEW introduction is our
First Class, Large Vane W200P/FC windvane, a design evolved from our proven standard W200P windvane for higher sensitivity (lower threshold) as well as higher maximum wind speed rating, and to include a 10K ohm potentiometer for enhanced datalogger compatability.
Four basic types are available: The
First Class W200P/FC, the
W200P and
W200P/L.
The
W200P/FC is a high resolution instrument fitted with a 10K ohm potentiometer of robust design, and the new F20/FC large fin/vane for high sensitivity (picture: right).
The
W200P is a high resolution instrument fitted with a 1K ohm potentiometer of robust design, and a standard/traditional F20 fin/vane (picture: left/upper).
The
W200P/L is a "Light Duty" instrument fitted with a low-torque 2K ohm potentiometer, and is more responsive to light winds than the standard W200P (but is less robust).
The
Self-Referencing SRW1 Series Windvanes (special order product, picture: left/lower) which include an internal compass system are also available and are pouplar for use on mobile platforms such as buoys at sea.
