3.13 Limitations
Wind sensor is engineered to be a robust device
with minimal downtime. This new shape has been
designed for optimum water spillage which implies
lower probability of ice formation. Frost might
affect measurements if it blocks the wave path.
The box has IP68 rating (outdoors & underwater).
The input wires are protected by Transient Voltage
Suppression (TVS) diodes. Also, the instrument
body is built in Polyamide.
3.14 Quality control
Every single unit is automatically calibrated on a
wind tunnel. A Q/C report for both module and
angle is generated and kept in our files. Standard
deviation is checked to warranty that each unit has
been calibrated to the highest standards.
