measurements are combined in an integrated calculation to establish the wind speed and its direction in
relation to a reference axis. The temperature measurements are used for calibration corrections. The sensor's
design minimises the effect of heel angle (4). The CV7 range of products features lateral transducers delivering
four independent measurements. The validity checks are used to measure head wind vectors for calculations.
This method gives a sensitivity of 0.15 m/s, a 40 m/s (144 km/h) reliability and excellent linearity.*
LCJ Capteurs has designed and manufactured wind sensors since 1999. Our range of wind vanes/anemometers
covers the needs over many applications. They have proved their robustness and accuracy on the marine
sector, and they are now widely used in other fields such as weather stations, industry, security and
agriculture to name a few.
At LCJ Capteurs, each sensor is fully tested before despatch and the test results are saved against the serial
3. Installation
1.
Checking the delivery
Before opening the box, check it carefully to spot any damage that can have occurred in transport. If the
packaging is damaged, fill in a Freight Claim with full description of the problem.
2.
Opening the box
Unpack the parcel in a dry and clean place and check the delivery:
1. SONIC-ANEMO-DZP with a 5 m cable.
2. Mounting bracket with 4 nuts.
3. Alignment tool
4. User manual
Warning: Unpack the product with care to avoid any damage

Choose the best location
The choice of the appropriate installation location is crucial to get the best measurements. The location must
be free of turbulence and magnetic field resulting from electricity, engines, radio transmitters, radars, etc. For
mobile installations, consider that the sensor measures the apparent wind speed and angle. This has to be
integrated in the data process to calculate the true wind vector.
a) Clearance distance
To avoid measurement errors the sensor must be installed at a distance of at least 10 times the height of the
nearest obstacle.

number. The sensor is placed in our wind tunnel on a
bracket that rotates through 9 degree steps. This is
Computer Controlled. The sensor is aligned at 0 degrees
of the air flow and then, 40 measure points are completed
with data saved for speed and angle. You can read a
typical test report here below. The full document is
