014A-L 3-Cup Anemometer
The 014A is constructed of corrosion-resistant, stainless steel and anodized aluminium. Its three-cup anemometer assembly contains a sealed magnetic reed switch. Rotation of the cup wheel produces a pulse that is directly proportional to wind speed.
Benefits and Features
- Ideal for applications that do not require wind direction measurements
- Sealed magnetic reed switch
- Designed for continuous, long-term, unattended operation in adverse conditions
- Standard aluminium cup assembly has a distance constant of less than 4.5 m
- For greater sensitivity, an optional LEXAN cup assembly has a distance constant of less than 1.5 m
The 014A, manufactured by Met One, is a three-cup anemometer that monitors wind speed for the range of 0 to 45 m/s with a threshold of 0.45 m/s. You connect the 014A directly to a Campbell Scientific data logger, which measures the anemometer's pulse signal and converts the signal to engineering units (mph, m/s, knots).
- 3-cup anemometer; no vane
