Gill Windsonic

Ultrasonic Wind Sensor

• Two year warranty

• Low power consumption

• Maintenance free

• Robust construction

At last, a real low cost alternative to conventional cup/vane/


propeller wind sensors in a single unit - WindSonic from Gill
Instruments. Ideal for applications that demand economic wind
sensing, WindSonic is suitable for land-based and marine
environments.
A lightweight unit, WindSonic is of a robust, high strength
construction designed to withstand installation and use with no
fear of the damage commonly experienced with the more fragile
cups, vanes or propellers. Without the need for expensive on-
site calibration or maintenance and with a corrosion free exterior,
WindSonic is a true fit and forget unit.
The flexible design enables you to easily configure WindSonic to deliver the information you require. By using the software
provided it is possible to select the output rate and choose the units of measurement that suit your application.
Ensuring accuracy and reliability, WindSonic automatically transmits an anemometer status code with each output to indicate
its operating status. Available in four options, providing a number of different digital and analogue outputs, WindSonic can be
supplied with RS232, RS422, RS485, SDI-12 and NMEA digital outputs as standard.
Providing accurate results in weather conditions where traditional mechanical sensors fail, WindSonic exhibits a number of further,
very distinct advantages:
• Consistent performance throughout life (no accuracy • Robust construction
degradation due to wear of moving parts)
• Software configurable
• Corrosion free, UV resistant material
• Status code output
• Low start speed (0.01 m/s, 0.09 knots)
• True 0°-360° operation
• Maintenance free
• Wind speed and direction from a single unit
• No calibration required
Economic to use, WindSonic is ideal for accurate wind measurement in applications such as:
• Agriculture • Tunnels
• HVAC • Utilities
• Pollution control • Yachting
• Portable weather stations
• Roadside weather stations
