The wind speed meter measures the flow velocity according to the hot wire principle. This guarantees a particularly compact design. The measuring range of the hot wire anemometer is between 0.3 ... 30.0 m/s / 0.98 ... 98.4 ft/s. In addition to the flow velocity, the hot wire anemometer can measure the volume flow and the ambient temperature. For each measurement, a Beaufort scale is displayed next to the measured value. The current wind strength can be read from this scale.

With the integrated data memory, up to 960 measured values ​​can be recorded with the wind speed meter. The data can be read directly on the hot wire anemometer. Also, the measured values ​​from the hot wire anemometer can be transferred to a PC via the micro USB interface. Suitable software for the hot wire anemometer is available in the PCE Instruments download portal for further processing of the data.

For optimal alignment, the telescopic arm of the wind speed meter can be extended up to 270 … 990 mm / 10.63 … 38.98 / 29.1". In addition, the head of the hot wire anemometer is semi-rigid and can therefore be aligned in different ways. The battery of the hot wire anemometer with a capacity of 1000 mAh enables mobile use. To recharge the battery, the hot wire anemometer must be connected to a 5 V DC micro-USB power supply.
