The professional Pro10 windspeed and direction sensor set has been designed by Kipp & Zonen, one of Germany's most reputed sensor manufacturers. The housings of the windspeed and direction sensors are made of anodized aluminium, which is extremely robust and seawater resistant. This enables the sensors to withstand even the harshest of conditions. Its generously dimensioned aluminum cups give the unit a very low starting threshold of only 0.5m/s.
The wind direction sensor uses a precision potentiometer. The wind direction sensor measuring element is an extremely tough, well balanced fibre-reinforced vane. The wind speed sensor will measure speeds of up to 200 km/h, and the rotating 3-cup unit is field replaceable. Dual low-friction ball bearings ensure a long service life and high accuracy. Both sensors will remain within their specifications for many years and require very little maintenance.
To allow correct mounting of the windspeed and direction sensors according to WMO requirements the unit is supplied with an 80cm wide mast mounting arm, complete with mounting brackets. The sensors are cabled into a small aluminum wiring box, allowing the sensors to be replaced individually. Both sensors can also be purchased as individual units. When ordered separately they will be supplied with individual mounting arms and a 2m Binder cable.
