Wind Monitor MA
YOUNG Model 05106 Wind Monitor MA
The Wind Monitor MA is Specifications
an accurate and reliable Range:
wind sensor specifically Wind speed: 0-100 m/s (224 mph)
designed for the rigors of Azimuth: 360° mechanical, 355° electrical (5° open)
the marine environment. Accuracy:
Wind speed: ±0.3 m/s (0.6 mph) or 1% of reading
tions Wind direction: ±3 degrees
Threshold:*
The wind speed sensor is Propeller: 1.1 m/s (2.4 mph)
a four blade helicoid propeller. Vane: 1.1 m/s (2.4 mph)
Unique transducer produces a Dynamic Response:*
Propeller distance constant (63% recovery) 2.7 m (8.9 ft)
pulse signal without electrical
Vane delay distance (50% recovery) 1.3 m (4.3 ft)
contacts or slip rings. Damping ratio: 0.3
The wind direction sensor Damped natural wavelength: 7.4 m (24.3 ft)
Undamped natural wavelength: 7.2 m (23.6 ft)
is a durable molded vane. Vane
angle is sensed by a precision Signal Output:
Wind speed: magnetically induced AC voltage, 3 pulses
potentiometer housed in a sealed per revolution. 1800 rpm (90 Hz) = 8.8 m/s (19.7 mph)
chamber. With a known voltage Azimuth: analog DC voltage from conductive plastic
potentiometer – resistance 10K Ω, linearity 0.25%,
applied to the potentiometer, the
life expectancy – 50 million revolutions
output voltage is directly proportional to vane angle.
Power Requirement:
All materials are carefully selected for corrosion resistance and maximum durability in the Potentiometer excitation: 15 VDC maximum
harsh marine environment. Stainless steel bearings are used throughout. Special waterproof
Dimensions:
lubricant further enhances reliability. The instrument mounts on standard 1 inch pipe. Overall height: 37 cm (14.6 in)
For specific applications, separate signal conditioning devices are available. Model 05603C Overall length: 55 cm (21.7 in)
Propeller: 18 cm (7 in) diameter
Wind Sensor Interface offers calibrated 0-5VDC outputs Mounting: 34 mm (1.34 in) diameter (standard 1 inch pipe)
for wind speed and wind direction. Model 05631C Wind
