Met One Instruments 010C Manual

010C Wind Speed Sensor
020D Wind Direction Sensor
Both wind speed and wind direction sensors
are used in environments ranging from
Antarctic cold to arid desert heat. The 010C
010C-1 and 020D instruments meet U.S. EPA
and NRC performance specifications for
critical regulatory, research or scientific
measurement applications.
The 010C Wind Speed Sensor provides accurate and detailed information on
horizontal wind speed. The lightweight three-cup anemometer is used in virtually
all applications where fast response and low starting threshold(s) are of paramount
importance.
The 020D Wind Direction Sensor provides azimuth data for use in micro-
meteorological measurements related to operational studies and research. The
lightweight airfoil vane is directly coupled to a single precision potentiometer. These
sensors are especially useful when a low starting threshold, a high damping ratio, or
a short delay distance is required.
Reliability
The 010C and 020D are made of stainless steel and anodized
aluminum components and are functionally more reliable than any
other sensors of their kind:
• B Built-in electrical field surge protection greatly reduces
problems associated with static fields, near-miss lightning
hits and poor grounding systems
• Inclusion of Met One Instruments' internal heater (AC use
only) provides positive clean aspiration through the bearings, thereby
greatly increasing sensor bearing life
• Optional, external de-icing heater sleeve for applications
where freezing rain, ice and low wind speeds may be encountered
Features
• Low starting threshold
• Internal heater for long bearing life
• High damping ratio
• Low profile to minimize "sensor
turbulence"
020D Wind Direction Sensor
• Short delay distance
• Quick-disconnect connector
• Ingress Protection Level 65 (IP65)
• Field-replaceable electronic
