Wind Sensor 09101 and 09106 – Performance and durability for marine
The RM Young 09101 and 09106 wind sensors combine the performance and durability of our standard Wind Monitor with a unique optical encoder direction transducer and serial output.
The wind speed sensor is a four-bladed helicoid propeller. Propeller rotation induces a variable frequency signal in a stationary coil. The raw signal is converted to a digital serial output by the built-in microprocessor circuit. The wind direction sensor is a durable molded vane. The absolute encoder maintains directional orientation even if power is removed. Serial output or voltage output signal is selected by simply moving an internal jumper. The housing parts are UV stabilized thermoplastic. Brackets are stainless steel and anodized aluminum. The instrument mounts to standard 1 inch pipe.
The Model 09106 Wind Monitor-SE-MA is a modified version of the 09101 unit designed for the rigors of the marine environment.
