The HD2003 is all-in-one environmental station built around a high-precision 3-axis ultrasonic anemometer. It comprehensively measures wind speed/direction, U-V-W components, gusts, sonic temperature, air temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure. Designed for extreme conditions, it features no moving parts, self-diagnosis, and an optional heater (HD2003R) for ice prevention. With multiple analog/digital outputs (RS232, Modbus, AoXnd) and low power consumption, it is the ultimate solution for critical monitoring in meteorology, aviation, construction, and industrial safety.
HD2003 3-Axis Ultrasonic anemometer with temperature, humidity & pressure
The Ultimate All-in-One Environmental Profiling Instrument
The HD2003 series represents a significant leap forward in environmental monitoring, consolidating seven critical meteorological parameters into a single, robust unit. By employing advanced ultrasonic technology across three axes, it captures a complete spatial and vectorial picture of wind flow, providing unparalleled data for complex analysis and safety-critical decision making. The integrated suite of high-accuracy sensors for temperature, humidity, and pressure eliminates the need for multiple instruments, reducing installation complexity, cost, and potential points of failure in demanding networks.
Engineered for Uncompromising Reliability in the Most Demanding Scenarios
Built for permanent deployment in the harshest environments, from offshore platforms to Arctic research stations, the HD2003 is defined by its resilience. The absence of moving parts in the anemometer ensures there is nothing to wear out or freeze, guaranteeing continuous operation with near-zero maintenance. The optional integrated heating system (model HD2003R) actively prevents ice accumulation on the ultrasonic transducers, ensuring data integrity is maintained even during freezing rain or sleet. This combination of comprehensive data and unwavering reliability makes it indispensable for applications where failure is not an option.
