Overview
The WindSonic4-LQ is a two-dimensional ultrasonic anemometer for measuring wind speed and direction. This sensor provides an alternative to the 034B-LQ, a traditional mechanical cup and vane anemometer. Unlike mechanical anemometers, there are no moving parts to be periodically replaced—minimizing routine maintenance costs.
WindSonics are manufactured by Gill Instruments Ltd.
Read MoreThe "-LQ" version of this product terminates in a military style connector (instead of pigtails) for use with a RAWS-P Permanent Remote Automated Weather Station. The length of the cable is specified at the time of order.

Detailed Description
The WindSonic4-LQ is a two-dimensional ultrasonic anemometer for measuring wind speed and direction. The cable for this version of the WINDSONIC4 has a military style connector and a user-specified lead length. The connector attaches to the RAWS-P enclosure, which mounts to a CM6/CM10 tripod, CM110-series tripod, or UT-series tower.
The WindSonic4-LQ outputs an SDI-12 signal that is read by the RAWS-P's on-board CR1000M module. This sensor provides an alternative to the 034B-LQ, a traditional mechanical cup and vane anemometer. Unlike mechanical anemometers, there are no moving parts to be periodically replaced—minimizing routine maintenance costs.
