The Meteo Comp is a complete, cost effective, ready
to use, wind speed, wind direction and external temperature measurement system.
Comprising a cup and vane anemometer (top
photo), indoor digital LED display (bottom photo), 20 m of cable (between anemometer and
display) and about
1.5 m of power cable (from mains power adapter to the indoor LED display unit).

What it does
The Meteo Comp system provides the following information:
- wind velocity in m/s, km/h or Beaufort
- temperature in °C, °F or wind chill
temperature
- displays the min.-max. values of all the
measurement units occurring within the preceding 24 hours

Component Parts
Meteo Comp (model number 104784) is comprised of:
- Outdoor component: a combined wind speed and direction
sensor for the acquisition of the wind speed and direction as well as ambient
temperature with 20 m cable* to run between the sensor and display.
The temperature sensor is located in the mounting arm for the wind speed indicator.
- Indoor component: a digital LED wind speed and
direction display with power supply unit and "plug and play" connector
to the display.
* Please note that the cable length cannot be extended as the
display unit is
adjusted for 20 m and an extension can cause incorrect measurements.
How to
Install
The Meteo Comp system is easy to install and
should be located in an open area with no obstructions to the wind flow i.e. half a metre
above the peak of a roof. It is secured by tightening the screws on the shaft of the
anemometer onto a 30 mm diameter pole*. The display can be free standing on a table or
wall mounted. Once the cables are connected and the display is plugged into the mains the
Meteo Comp will measure the wind and temperature and output the data to the LED display.

Output data to a PC
As well as viewing the data on the LED display the data can
also be output from the display unit directly to a PC via RS232 serial connection.
- It can be viewed as an ASCII string using Terminal or
HyperTerminal (free program with Microsoft Windows)
Example
of ASCII string whereby column 1 = windspeed (m/s, km/h or Beaufort), column 2 = wind
direction (0 - 360º) and column 3 = temperature (ºC, ºF or wind chill):
1.2 270.0 22.9
2.4 292.5 23.0
1.6 292.5 23.0
1.6 315.0 23.0
0.8 315.0 23.0
- Alternatively the optional Meteo-Online graphical
software can be used for enhanced viewing.The software is capable of data logging as well as display with the
ability to set up individual hour files or day files. In addition Meteo-Online is
internally divided into two programs:
These are two independent programs interchanging data. The
server’s task is to process the data from the connected instruments, to document
them, and to hold them available for display (client). The display program queries
cyclically the data from the server and displays them in graphical form.
This structure has the following advantages:
- The server is able to document data without display.
- The server is able to administrate several terminals at the
same time (limited only by the number of physical interfaces).
- Server and display can run on different computers in a
network.
- Several display programs can simultaneously access one
server.
- The server is started automatically on booting the PC, and
documents the data in the background.
- The display is started only on request.
Meteo-Online offers the possibility to install
the data server (OwServer.EXE), and the display (MeteoOnline.EXE) on different PC's.
There are 2 versions of the Meteo-Online graphical software
available, namely the standard version and the advanced version. The advanced software
includes data monitoring functions to check the incoming measuring values on threshold
values or alarm parameters.
It is possible to connect several
meteorological instruments to the Meteo-Online providing the instruments have serial data
outputs and can be connected to the PC.
