|---|---|
| Description | |
| Sensor type | 3-cup anemometer, model 4.3351.10.000 |
| Applications |
|
| Sensor range | 0.3 m/s to 75 m/s (0.7 mph to 168 mph) |
| Instrument compatibility |
|
| Output signal | |
| Signal type |
Form: Square Wave Frequency: 1082 Hz @ 50 m/s (112 mph) Amplitude: Equal to supply voltage, max. 15 V |
| Anemometer Transfer Function |
Refer to individual calibration report for sensor-specific transfer function. Typical transfer function between frequency and wind speed:
|
| Recommended load resistance |
R > 1 kΩ (Push-pull output with 220 Ω in series) C < nF (corresponds to typical cable length < 1 km) |
