WindSonic 75 Ultrasonic Anemometer

The Gill WindSonic 75 is a low-cost, high-speed anemometer that utilizes Gill's proven ultrasonic technology to provide wind speed and direction via one serial or two analog outputs. To confirm correct operation, outputs are transmitted alongside instrument status codes.

WindSonic complies with WMO gust measurement standards.

This compact and lightweight wind sensor features a robust, non-corrosive polycarbonate housing, recommended for use in harsh environmental conditions, particularly for marine and offshore (vessels, buoys) and land-based installations. The WindSonic anemometer has no moving parts, offering maintenance-free operation across a wide range of applications.

WindSonic meets cost, quality, and performance requirements in demanding applications where robust construction and low maintenance are suited for harsh weather conditions or remote locations. The WindSonic wind sensor also provides integrated WMO-compliant gust measurement, calculated from rolling averages, with gust periods selectable between 1 and 10 minutes. All WindSonic anemometers transmit instrument status codes alongside measurement outputs to confirm correct operation.

Output protocol options for WindSonic include RS232, RS422, RS485, SDI-12, NMEA, 0-5V, or 0-20mA.

All WindSonic models feature an environmental protection rating of IP66.

Using ultrasonic technology, the WindSonic wind sensor delivers high-precision measurements without wear or recalibration, making WindSonic products extremely reliable and low-maintenance. The WindSonic anemometer serves as an alternative to traditional cup-and-vane or propeller-type wind sensors, offering all the advantages of solid-state ultrasonic technology.
