The AEOLUS-3 ultrasonic anemometer redefines precision wind monitoring. This robust, 3-axis sensor delivers comprehensive data, including wind speed, direction, UV-W components, and gust values, with exceptional accuracy even in harsh conditions. Its AISI 316 stainless steel housing and integrated heating system ensure reliable performance in marine, industrial, and arctic environments. With no moving parts, multiple isolated outputs (analog, RS485, Modbus, SDI-12), and compliance with military standards, the AEOLUS-3 is the ultimate maintenance-free solution for wind farms, AWS, and critical infrastructure monitoring.
Precision Wind Measurement for Demanding Applications
The AEOLUS-3 ultrasonic anemometer is engineered for professionals who cannot compromise on data accuracy. By utilizing advanced ultrasound technology across three axes, it captures a complete spatial picture of wind movement, providing not just speed and direction but also the fundamental U, V, and W Cartesian vector components. This makes it an indispensable tool for meteorological research, wind resource assessment, and structural health monitoring of buildings, bridges, and cranes.
Engineered for Reliability in the Toughest Environments
Designed to thrive where other sensors fail, the AEOLUS-3 features a built-in heating element that automatically activates to prevent ice and snow accumulation, ensuring continuous operation during winter storms. Its housing, constructed from marine-grade AISI 316 stainless steel, offers superior resistance to corrosion from salt fog and aggressive industrial atmospheres. This combination of features guarantees you receive critical wind data 24/7, 365 days a year, regardless of the conditions.
` Features & Application: `
Key Advantages & Features
- All-Weather Accuracy: Integrated heating prevents icing, and ultrasound technology ensures precise measurements from 0 to 85 m/s with no moving parts to wear out.
- Ultra-Robust Construction: AISI 316 stainless steel housing and IP67 rating provide maximum durability and protection against corrosion and moisture.
- Comprehensive Data Output: Measures wind speed, direction, gust, sonic temperature, barometric pressure, and tilt angles. Outputs UV-W vector components.
- Exceptional Flexibility: Choose from multiple isolated communication protocols: RS232/485/422 (NMEA, Modbus, ASCII), SDI-12, and 3 user-configurable analog outputs.
- Military-Grade Endurance: Certified to MIL-STD-810G for salt fog corrosion and MIL-STD-810F for icing resistance, ensuring proven performance in extreme conditions.
Measures & How to Use
- Ideal for permanent installation on meteorological masts, rooftops, and critical infrastructure.
- Use the provided PC software for easy configuration, real-time data display, and setting averaging intervals for wind speed and gust (1s to 10 min).
- The built-in tilt sensor monitors alignment with the vertical axis, ensuring data integrity is maintained even if the mounting pole shifts slightly.
- Its high immunity to electromagnetic interference makes it perfect for electrically noisy environments like wind turbine nacelles and industrial plants.
