Wind measuring instrument - WSS 500 & 550
The wind measuring instrument form DEIF has the ultrasonic measuring principle with no moving parts, that gives reliable performance without any wear-out problems and without requiring regular service.
The new wind measuring instrument, WSS 550 version, has a built-in heating element to prevent icing up.
This wind speed sensor, WSS 500 & 550, can both be connected directly to a control system and concurrently send data to an XDi-N wind speed and direction indicator placed on the bridge.
An obvious alternative if you want high performance and reliability—not low-cost/high-maintenance!
