The 05103, 05103-45, 05106, 05108, 05108-45 and 05305 Wind Monitor sensors are used to measure horizontal wind speed and direction. The 05305 is a high performance version of the 05103 designed to meet PSD specifications for air quality applications. The 05103-45 is an alpine version that discourages ice buildup.

Replace the potentiometer when the noise or non-linearity becomes unacceptable. The condition of the vertical shaft (vane) bearings can be checked with R.M. Young’s Vane Torque Gauge (pn #18331). Often Campbell Scientific recommends factory replacement of the NOTE bearings and potentiometer. Refer to the...
