Ultrasonic anemometer 86004 – High performance and compact design
The Ultrasonic Anemometer 86004 from RM Young is the next generation of 2D ultrasonic anemometer. The device offers high performance, low energy consumption and a compact design.
It is ideal for the most demanding wind sensor applications. For extended use in cold weather, the 86004 has thermostatically controlled heaters in the transducer and housing surfaces.
The sensor features durable, corrosion-resistant construction with sensitive ultrasonic transducers mounted in a streamlined molded frame. The 86004 is fully wind tunnel tested and calibrated to provide accurate wind measurement over a wide operating range. The standard sensor includes many useful output options. Analog voltage outputs are provided for wind speed and wind direction. 4-20 mA current signals are available for each channel and are suitable for long cable runs or for industrial settings where noise immunity is important. A variety of serial output formats are also available. These include ASCII text, RMYT (compatible with YOUNG displays), and NMEA formats. The sensor installs on easily accessible 1-inch (IPS) pipe. Wiring connections are made in a convenient weatherproof junction box; special mounting adapters and connectors are not required. The 86004 requires sensor cable 86070, which is ordered to the desired length.
