Vaisala Ultrasonic Wind Sensor WM80 offers unparalleled wind speed and wind direction measurement performance with the Vaisala WINDCAP® ultrasonic technology combined with an innovative, robust, and compact form factor. WM80 is designed for operations where uninterrupted wind data is crucial, such as wind turbine control, ship navigation, and dynamic positioning.
WM80 is designed and heavily tested to operate reliably in extreme conditions - whether tropical or freezing - measuring accurately in heavy precipitation and extreme temperatures. In icy conditions, the 11 automatically controlled heating elements keep the device ice-free, providing excellent heat distribution in the aluminum structure. The highly accelerated life test (HALT) methodology was used during product development to enhance product reliability.
