Research 3-axis ultrasonic anemometers (wind sensors) - more details

1. Designed and manufactured by Gill Instruments in the UK, Gill Research 3-axis ultrasonic anemometers provide high accuracy with fast and reliable output rates.
2. High performance measurement, output rates up to 100Hz and a choice of head configuration to support varied research scenarios make Gill Research anemometers a popular choice for environmental, meteorological, commercial and other scientific research applications.   
3. Output protocol options for the Research range include RS422. (RS232 and analogue outputs are available options via PCI/PCIA). 
4. Environmental protection to IP65 across all Research models.
5. Ultrasonic technology provides highly accurate and reliable wind speed and direction data using solid state technology, with no moving parts, reducing the need for maintenance and making the Gill Research range of 3D anemometers ideal for harsh weather environments and remote locations.
