RM Young 86000 – Ultrasonic Anemometer – Voltage and Serial Outputs

The YOUNG 86000 Ultrasonic Anemometer is a 2-axis, no-movingparts wind sensor. It 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 measures wind speed and direction based on the transit time of ultrasonic pulses between three transducers. Measurement results are available as calibrated analog output signals, or serial data using RS-232 or RS-485. Continuous serial output or polled operation may be used. Serial format options include direct connection to YOUNG Wind Tracker displays,
marine NMEA systems, data loggers, or other compatible serial communication devices. Operating parameters are easily set using the 86SETUP program provided. All 86000 parameter settings are stored internally in nonvolatile memory. The sensor is constructed using 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.
