A new wind speed and direction display from Amalgamated Instrument Co is designed to provide readily accessible information in a compact unit.

A new wind speed and direction display from Amalgamated Instrument Co is designed to provide readily accessible information in a compact unit Wind direction is indicated on a circular LED display and wind speed is indicated in a five-digit LED numerical display

The entire unit is housed in a 1/8 DIN panel mount enclosure with a bezel size of 96 x 48mm.

The unit features: input from 4-20mA output or NMEA serial data stream output wind sensors; a compact, rugged aluminium enclosure; wind direction indicated on the 16-point LED circular display; wind direction can be displayed as degrees on the numerical display as well, at the push of a button; and wind speed is indicated on five-digit LED display.

Wind speed can be scaled to desired units - m/s, km/h, knots etc - and single or dual analogue output option available - to retransmit wind speed, wind direction or both.

One setpoint relay is standard with options to add up to another three (a total of four).

The display includes LED annunciators for visual warning of alarm situations, and IP65 environmental protection options are available.

This unit is ideal for applications where an accurate, easily visible display is required and where space is at a premium.

Applications could include vehicle based sensing for spraying or irrigation applications.

The display could find a wide range of applications in the marine environment - from large vessels to drilling platforms to recreational vessels.

Industrial applications could include dockside and container handling situations, stockpile monitoring or sensing for emission control applications.

This display, when used with the WS-MMW-005 solid state wind sensor, for example, represents a compact, powerful solution for wind parameter display applications.
