No. and "Factory Setting". Order number and setting see supplementary sheet "Factory Setting" In addition, the default settings for device version 4.3811.00.000 are marked in "grey" in these Operating Instructions. Mode of Operation The Ultrasonic Anemometer 2D consists of 4 ultrasonic transformers, in pairs of two facing each other at a distance of 200 mm.
The time required for a measuring sequence is approx. 2.5 msec at +20°C at the maximum measuring speed. Measuring principle: Wind velocity and direction The speed of propagation of the sound in calm air is superposed by the velocity components of an air flow in the direction of the wind.
Measuring principle: Acoustic virtual temperature The speed of propagation of the sound depends on the absolute temperature of the air via a root function although it is more or less independent of the air pressure and only depends on the air humidity to a minor extent.
Selection of installation site As already described, the ultrasonic anemometer transmits sound packages required to measure the propagation speed. If these sound packages meet surfaces that reflect sound, they are thrown back as an echo and can may result in incorrect measurements under unfavourable conditions. It is therefore advisable to install the ultrasonic anemometer at a minimum distance of 1 metre to objects in the measuring level.

Calibration The ultrasonic anemometer does not contain any adjustable components such as electrical or mechanical trimming elements. All components and materials used show invariant behaviour in terms of time. This means that no regular calibration is required due to ageing. Errors in measured values are only caused by mechanical deformation of the transformer arms and associated changes in measurement path lengths.
When starting the ULTRASONIC, the communications parameters are output to the serial interface. Output takes place at 9600.8N1. The baud rate, the duplex modus and the ID are output: Example: THIES ULTRASONIC !00BR00006 !00DM00000 The ULTRASONIC starts with ID 0, a baud rate of 19200.8N1 and half duplex mode.
7.1.1 General telegram structure For serial communication the ULTRASONIC has a fixed telegram format which also permits communication in bus mode. It has the following form: NNBB<cr> <cr> stands for Carriage Return (Enter key) for a data enquiry or NNBBPPPPP<cr> <cr>...
7.1.2 Return values of ULTRASONIC After a valid command has been input, the ULTRASONIC sends acknowledgement, e.g. acceptance of the parameter or output of a data telegram. For a standard command the response starts with a '!', followed by the ID and the parameter value. If the input command is TR or TT, the ULTRASONIC transmits a data telegram as the response.
After the access key has been changed, the ULTRASONIC transmits a response which contains not only the parameter input but also the access mode. After parameters have been changed with the key '00001' or '00234', the ULTRASONIC must be reset to the locked state with the command 00KY00000. Example: 00KY00001 USER ACCESS...
The Ultrasonic incorporates two different practical procedures for averaging: • one procedure for generating vectorial mean values • one procedure for generating scalar mean values "Vectorial averaging" is set in this device version. Serial data output The transmission of data via the RS485 interface is known as serial data output. Two modes are available for data transmission: •...

The heating system switches off after another 10sec when: Acoustic virtual temperature> 7°C No error in acquisition of measured values Output of all system parameters Most parameters of the ULTRASONIC are stored internally in an EEPROM. The command SS can be used to output all stored parameters.
Here it should be borne in mind that with a change in settings, the order number allocated at the factory can then no longer help with identification. These Operating Instructions relate to the device version 4.3811.00.000. For the adjustment of settings we recommend you consult the General Operating Instructions for THIES ULTRASONIC.
