_______________

 The USA-1 Professional 200 is a rugged, reliable sensor for the measurement of both horizontal and vertical wind flow. The optimal design with three outer paths of measurement around a middle bar minimizes flow distortions and with unique, sophisticated quality checks for each instantaneous measurement ensures extreme accuracy and reliability.

The USA-1 Professional 200 has all the benefits of the entry level USA-1 Professional 100 digital output sensor with the advantage of heating.

Additionally the USA-1 Professional 200 sensor comes with a field calibration kit for user confidence checks and has options to extend the wind speed range from 100 mph to 134 mph and to add four 0-10 VDC analog output channels.

What it does

The USA-1 Professional 200 provides the following information in various data outputs which can be polled or output automatically:

  • instantaneous and averaged data for the three component wind vectors
  • virtual temperature
  • horizontal wind speed and direction plus vertical wind component
  • chart mode (provides 0-540º wind direction and speed values)
  • NMEA value outputs
  • raw data mode (uncorrected) or 2D / 3D head corrected data

Data can be averaged by several methods:

  • scalar or vectoral
  • clock synchronized or running average
  • separate output rates and sampling times

Some other important features:

  • user definable north orientation (range 0-359º alignment off axis)
  • data quality control to perform confidence checks on raw data
  • date / time stamps with several options
  • check sum information
  • calibration validity output monitoring

Examples of data output

Normal data example (instantaneous). Every data string starts with a header line that consists of the string SNC followed by a space and 12 characters for the date/time stamp, another space and finally the UTC string i.e.:

SNC 940815090015 UTC               HTR

x = 1.83     y = -0.79    z = 0.20       T = 20.17     

_____________________________________________________________________

where

HTR informs the user that the sensor head heating is turned on
x mean x wind component in the sensor related orthogonal coordinate system (parallel to the black arrow on the electronic box); unit m/s
y mean y wind component in the sensor related orthogonal coordinate system (horizontally perpendicular to x); unit m/s
z mean z wind component in the sensor related orthogonal coordinate system (vertical); unit m/s
T mean temperature; unit ºC
