Wind Speed Transmitter

Wind Speed Transmitters For The C5 Anemometer

The A70-S Wind Speed Transmitter converts the frequency of the Richards C5 anemometer signal into an electrical signal for input to a computer, meter or other instrumentation. The C5 anemometer produces an AC signal whose amplitude and frequency are proportional to wind speed. See C5 data sheet for detailed anemometer specifications. These units are used in conjunction with electronic data collection systems or for input to control systems. They are readily combined with meter relays to provide custom controls.
Systems are available with outputs of 0-1 mA, 0-1 V or 4-20 mA. All systems may be powered from either 120 VAC, 230 VAC or 12 - 24 VDC.

The instruments are available in a variety of packages including steel JIC boxes meeting NEMA 12 standards, weatherproof fiberglass enclosures meeting NEMA 4X, IP66 and IEC 529 standards and track mounted versions. NEMA 12 enclosures provide protection from dust for indoor applications. NEMA 4X enclosures may be used indoors or outdoors. They provide protection from corrosion, wind blown dust and rain and are undamaged by ice. Track mounted versions are intended for mounting inside an enclosure provided by the user. Where required, electrical connection to the sensor is via terminal block. A barrier strip is provided for connection to operating power.

Each system is provided with a detailed instruction manual.
