Vaisala Wind Set WA25
Overview
- Non-freezing, all-weather wind set for arctic conditions
 - Fully heated anemometer and wind vane (heating in cups and vanes, sensor bodies and bearings prevent snow build-up and ice formation)
 - High performance, accurate wind speed and wind direction measurement
 - Low measurement starting threshold
 - Conical anemometer cups provide excellent linearity
 
Technical Specifications
| Wind speed | |
| Sensor/transducer type | cup anemometer/opto-chopper | 
| Measurement range | 0.4...75 m/s | 
| Starting threshold | <0.5 m/s* | 
| Accuracy (range 0.4...60 m/s) with characteristic | ±0.17 m/s ** | 
| transfer function with transfer function U=0.1xR | ±0.5 m/s | 
| * Measured with cup wheel in position least favoured by flow direction. Optimum position gives approx. 0.35 m/s threshold.
