Vortex Low Cost Wind Speed Sensor


The VORTEX anemometer available from Audon Electronics is a rugged rotating cup-style wind sensor which can handle speeds from 5 to over 125 mph. The Vortex anemometer has a reed switch based volt-free contact closure output, producing one pulse per rotation, with a scaling of 2.5mph per pulse per second. This simple interface allows for easy connection to PC based data acquisition systems and stand alone dataloggers.

It comes with 8m of exterior grade cable which can be easily extended and an aluminium mounting bracket. Available as sensor only or sensor plus battery powered LCD display which gives readings in both mph or km/h.

The VORTEX wind sensor is great for do-it-yourself projects, marine applications, home weather station and wind power turbine location analysis applications.

Price is only £39 ex VAT.
