AEOLUS 3, 3-Axial Ultrasonic Anemometer
AEOLUS is our ultimate solution for precise wind monitoring in any environment. Specifically suitable for applications such as:
- Wind farm monitoring
- Automatic Weather Stations (AWS)
- Buildings, constructions and bridges control
- Ports, airports and heliports
- Road and railway tunnels
Accurate measurements in any conditions
Beside the measurement of wind speed and direction, it provides U-V-W Cartesian components and Wind Gust values. With integrated heating, it prevents the whole detection area (sensors, arms and arms supports) from the accumulation of snow and ice formation, allowing accurate measurements in all environmental conditions.
Built to last in aggressive atmospheres
Crafted with AISI 316 stainless steel housing, AEOLUS stands up to even the most aggressive atmospheres, making it perfect also for marine environments. No need to worry about corrosion or wear – it’s built to endure.
Low maintenance, high performance
With no moving parts, AEOLUS minimizes maintenance hassles. All sensors come factory-calibrated, eliminating the need for additional user interventions. It’s the hassle-free solution for your wind monitoring needs.
Continuous monitoring and alignment
Featuring a barometric pressure sensor and tilt/roll sensor, AEOLUS monitors misalignments with the vertical axis, ensuring continuous accuracy. It adapts to the changing conditions to provide reliable data.
Ideal for electrically noisy environments
AEOLUS boasts high immunity to electromagnetic disturbances, making it the go-to choice for measurements in electrically noisy environments like industrial settings and wind farms.
Available outputs:
-
RS232, RS485 and RS422 isolated outputs, with NMEA, Modbus-RTU and ASCII proprietary protocols.
-
SDI-12 isolated output.
-
Three analog outputs, for wind speed and direction or for wind U-V-W cartesian components. The type of analog output depends on variant.
There are four variants of analog outputs available (please select when ordering!):
WUS30FA 0/4…20mA (0…20mA or 4…20mA is user configurable)
WUS30FW 0...1V
WUS30FX 0...5V
WUS30FY 0...10V
The anemometer satisfies the requirements of the following standards:
-
MIL-STD-810G Method 509.6 and EN ISO 9227:2017 (salt fog anti-corrosion test)
-
MIL-STD-810F Method 521.2 (anti-icing/freezing rain test)
-
EN 60068-2-6:2008 / IEC 60068-2-6:2007 (vibration resistance test)
Supplied with PC software, for configuration and displaying of the real time measurements.
All instrument sensors are factory-calibrated and do not require additional interventions of the user.
