Available in three different versions, all of them provide reliably measure wind speed for turbine control in all climates.
Benefits include:
Reliability
• Two-stage contamination protection extends sensor life.
• Fully sealed sensor body minimizes dust, dirt, and water ingress.
• New cartridge bearing design. This new fully encapsulated bearing design makes the bearings literally free of invasion from dust and/or humidity, as well as other ambient agents such as saltpetre, allowing a longer sensor life.
• Shock-resistant bearing mounting prevents damage caused by rough handling.
• Rugged metal head prevents breakage due to accidental drops or icing.
• Recommended maintenance interval of 10 years eliminates unwanted trips to your turbines.
Icing Performance
• Heater fully embedded on sensor head:
• Improved icing performance.
• Self-regulated. No external temperature switch required.
• Power consumption is automatically adjusted to keep the optimum working temperature.
• Metal sensor body conducts heat to the whole sensor, preventing ice buildup and increasing turbine availability in icing climates.
• 96W heating element provides ample de-icing power.
Vane accuracy
• Resolution of 0.35°.
• Accuracy of ±1° with 100% factory calibration.
• Unique twin tail design improves accuracy in off-axis winds, providing greater accuracy in the turbulent wind, best performance to wind calms/gusts, and best sensitivity to wind changes without swinging. Hybrid XT vanes are literally free of the effects caused by wind turbulences.
• Patent-pending dynamic damping:
• Reduces erratic vane movement in gusty winds, providing superior wind tracking performance without increasing threshold.
• Enhanced dynamic stability no vane spin. No more turbines off-line due to “Orientation time exceeded”.
• Best stability and orientation mean lowest number of yaw movements of the turbine, avoiding unnecessary gear’s wear.
Other benefits
• Quick connection/disconnection feature reduces turbine off-line during maintenance or repair.
• All zinc body reduces environmental impact no nickel plating. Improved corrosion performance.
Environmental Compliance:
• IP55 per IEC 60529 and DIN40050-9 (Ingress Protection)
• MIL-STD-810F Method 509.4 (96 Hour Salt Fog Corrosion)
• IEC 60068-2-52, Severity 1 (28 Day Salt Fog Corrosion)
• IEC60068-2-38 Z/AD (Cyclic Humidity & Temperature)
• IEC 60068-2-78 (Constant Humidity)
• IEC 60068-2-6, Test Fc (Sinusoidal Vibration)
• IEC 60068-2-64, Test Fh (Random Vibration)
• Packaging meets ISTA 1A (Drop Test)
