The WSD-100 can withstand hurricane-force winds, yet is sensitive to a very light breeze. It features a hand-balanced wind direction vane for optimal stability and accuracy. The wind speed signal connects directly to one pulse input of an XR5-SE Data Logger. The wind direction signal connects to an XR5 analog input. No external power is required. It features sealed stainless steel ball bearings for long life, and includes 40 feet (12 meters) of attached cable. Typical mounting hardware is included for mounting to a pipe, wooden post, antenna mast, or similar structure. Some assembly is required, and additional mounting hardware may be required, depending on the installation (see Installation Guide for details).
Note: This is the only Pace sensor not compatible with the XR440. This sensor only works with the XR5 Data Logger.
