RM Young 86000-SDI – Ultrasonic Anemometer SDI-12 Outputs

The YOUNG 86000-SDI Ultrasonic Anemometer is a 2-axis, nomoving-parts wind sensor with SDI-12 interface. The sensor is ideal for general meteorological applications requiring accurate and reliable measurement. The sensor features wide operating range, compact size, easy installation and low power operation.
The 86000-SDI measures wind speed and direction based on the transit time of ultrasonic pulses between three transducers. Measurement results are available in either polar (speed and direction) or Cartesian (u and v) format using standard SDI-12 commands. Extended SDI-12 commands can be used to set all significant operating parameters. The sensor uses ultraviolet-stabilized thermoplastic for superior environmental resistance. It is easily mounted on standard 1 inch (IPS) pipe. An orientation ring preserves mounting position when the sensor is removed. The 86000-SDI arrives fully calibrated and ready to use.
