The R.M. Young Model 85000 Ultrasonic Anemometer is a 2-axis, no-moving-parts wind sensor. It is ideal for general meteorological applications requiring accurate, reliable wind measurement.Heaters integrated into the transducers and housing enhance performance in cold conditions.
The sensor features durable, corrosion-resistant construction with opposing pairs of ultrasonic transducers secured in a streamlined molded frame. The 85000 is fully wind-tunnel tested and calibrated to provide accurate wind measurement over a wide operating range.
The standard sensor offers a variety of useful output options. Analog voltage outputs are provided for wind speed and wind direction. A variety of serial output formats are also available on the standard sensor. These include ASCII text, RMYT (compatible with R.M Young displays), NMEA and SDI-12 formats.
The sensor installs on readily available 1 inch (IPS) pipe. Wiring connections are made in a convenient weatherproof junction box; special connectors and cables are not required.
CAUTION: The 85000/85004 2D Ultrasonic Anemometer is designed to be mounted vertically with the transducers facing upwards. Mounting the sensor with an inverted orientation exposes the internal circuitry to potential moisture damage, and is not recommended.
