Measuring principle
The digital anemometer measures wind speed by measuring the speed of the fan(vane), whose axis is parallel to wind direction, using a revolution counter and converting it into readable format.
Applications
An anemometer is a device used for measuring wind speed with additional features of wind direction, temperature and relative humidity. It is a common instrument in weather stations, metrological departments and checking air conditioning and heating systems.
Features
- Built in temperature measurement.
- A sensitive balance vane wheel rotates freely in response to air flow.
- Reading convertible to different measurement units.
- Data memory for storing and recalling values later.
- Data hold and auto power off.
- Backlit display.
