Wind Direction and Speed Measuring Instrument
Accurate wind speed measurement and monitoring is an important factor in the operational stability of equipment and integrated sensor systems across many industries. From building automation systems to environmental monitoring and essential safety applications -‐ high-‐quality and accurate commercial wind speed sensors and transmitters are required.
Integrating sensors, wind speed meters and transmitters into system controls allows for automatic control and conditions notifications. Automatic response to conditions outside normal parameters helps prevent premature system failures or hazardous operational conditions.
Did you know? The average lifespan of a quality commercial grade anemometer under average conditions is from 40-‐60,000,000 revolutions, or approximately 3 – 5 years.
Wind Speed Anemometers
Comptus offers two different anemometers to meet industry needs; the Comptus A75—101 and the Comptus A75—104 wind speed measuring devices. Both are time-tested and proven in meteorological and energy applications.
Comptus A75-101 and Comptus A75-104 wind speed anemometers are built with durable injection molded polycarbonate rotors and housings, and utilize a fully-hardened beryllium copper shaft.
The Comptus A75-101 wind speed measuring device utilizes a RoHs compliant reed switch for a pulse output. The Comptus A75-104 anemometer produces a sine wave output.
Every Comptus wind speed anemometers is individually serialized and made in the USA.
Wind Direction Vanes
Comptus A75-‐302 Wind Direction Vanes feature a durable injection molded polycarbonate tail and a conductive material impregnated base that dissipates static.
The Comptus industrial Wind Vane generates an analog output signal from a 10K ohm resistance potentiometer.
Comptus Wind Vanes are manufactured in the USA.
Wind Alarms
Comptus Wind Alarms are recognized across many industries for their durability, accuracy, repeatability and are manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 compliant systems and procedures.
The Comptus C44 is a user configurable two set point wind speed alarm. The C47 wind alarm is a user-configurable, 4 set point alarm with analog outputs. The C-47 can be configured for both wind speed and wind direction signal inputs.
Each Comptus Wind alarm system includes a detailed instruction manual. Comptus Wind Alarms are manufactured in the USA.
Wind Transmitters
Comptus wind speed and direction transmitters convert the sensor signals into electrical outputs suitable for connection to displays, computers, dataloggers, wireless transmitters, or other controls. Output options include: 0-‐1 mA, 0-‐1 V, 0--5 V or 4-‐20 mA. Power options include: 24 VAC, 120VAC, 230VAC, 12-‐24 VDC. Comptus transmitters come standard in a track mount for installation in existing enclosures. They are also available in NEMA rated enclosures. Please contact us for enclosure options.
Wind Monitoring Accessories
Comptus manufactures several mounting and surge arrestor accessories to ensure accurate trouble-‐free operation of our commercial use wind sensors and transmitters. The Comptus A96 Surge Arrestor utilizes gas tube circuit protection that automatically resets and requires no maintenance. Our Comptus A76 series mounting components provide stable fixtures specifically designed for our commercial wind sensors.
