2.8 Wireless Outdoor Anemometer (Solar Cell Wind Sensor)
The wind direction is shown by an animated compass display. Its angle can be displayed as compass points (i.e. NW)
or in bearings from the north (i.e. 22.5º).
The upper left of the wind display can be set to indicate the temperature at the anemometer or the temperature
adjusted with a wind chill factor.
The lower left of the wind display indicates the average wind speed for the last 10 minutes, as well as gust, wind speed
alert and gust alert information. It can also show records of the maximum values of wind speed and gust attained for
the current day.
The wind speed and gust alert functions can be programmed to sound if the wind speed or gust exceeds a
pre-configured limit. The wind speed may be displayed in km/h, mph, m/s or knots.
Note: The wind speed alert has a 5 mph hysteresis and the wind gust speed alert has a 7 mph hysteresis. The hysteresis
is to prevent the alerts from sounding constantly due to small fluctuations near the alert value. This means that after
the wind speed reaches the alert value, it will have to fall below the alert value plus the hysteresis to deactivate the
alert.
