WIND SPEED MEASUREMENT
Knowing the wind speed is not only useful - it's informative and it's fun. The Vortex Pole Mount Anemometer is an inexpensive way to provide you with accurate wind speed in places where AC power may not be available.
Mount the head and rotor to your own pole or roof bracket, bring the wire in through a window or some other hole, and stick the display on the glass, a window, or anywhere you want.
Connect the red & black wires and you are ready to go - LIVE wind speed on a clear to read display.
The Vortex Pole Mount Anemometer display is a high quality, Sigma Sport bicycle computer (weather resistant). The wind speed range is approx 5 mph to around 150 mph. However, the calibration has only been verified for wind speeds from 5 to 50 mph - InSpeed could not find a wind tunnel capable of 150 mph calibration!
The Battery life of the Head unit is approximately 1,000 hours of continuous use. |
