When do I need a heated
anemometer at my installation site?
If you need to ensure maximum data
availability regardless of the weather conditions.
If you need to ensure maximum data
availability with added confidence at remote locations.
If your site is prone to freezing rain or
other forms of freezing precipitation.
If you experience prolonged durations of
snowfall at your site.
If temperatures fall below 5ºC (approx 40º
F) and condensation starts to form on metallic surfaces either on the anemometer or around
your site.
The following anemometers are
available as heated versions:

Benefits of
buying mechanical wind speed and direction sensors
Generally all cup and vane
anemometers have the following features:
- reliable measurement of horizontal wind speed and direction
- sensitive to small fluctuations in wind speed
- low maintenance
- provides good repeatability of data and decent error
accuracy
- models are available with digital and analogue interfaces
- can be interfaced / adapted to existing systems
Cup and vane
anemometers from Biral feature:
- free-flowing, high quality bearing systems used
- data can be polled, output automatically or averaged
- First Class series sensors has a rugged, durable aluminium
construction suitable for all environments
- Compact series sensors provide excellent cost / performance
ratio
- Heating is available on most models
- high heating efficiency, where relatively low power input is
needed as only the key areas are heated when required which also avoids unnecessary power
loss
- various output configurations are available for volume
orders
The sensors are of a high quality designed to
give many years of reliable and accurate service.
