R. M. Young, 86000, Ultrasonic Anemometer with Current, Voltage & Serial OutputsIntroducing the Young Model 86000 next generation 2D Ultrasonic Anemometer. The sensor offers high performance and low power consumption in a compact size. It is ideal for the most demanding wind sensing applicationsThe sensor features durable, corrosion-resistant construction with sensitive ultrasonic transducers secured in a streamlined molded frame. The 86000 is fully wind tunnel tested and calibrated to provide accurate wind measurement over a wide operating range. The standard sensor includes many useful output options. Analog voltage outputs are provided for wind speed and wind direction. 4-20 mA current signals are available for each channel and are well suited for long cable runs or for industrial settings where noise immunity is important. A variety of serial output formats are also available. These include ASCII text, RMYT (compatible with Young displays) and NMEA formats. The sensor installs on readily available 1 inch (IPS) pipe. Wiring connections are made in a convenient weatherproof junction box; special mounting adapters, connectors and cables are not required.The Young 86000 Ultrasonic Anemometer is a 2-axis, nomoving-parts wind sensor. It is ideal for general meteorological applications requiring accurate and reliable measurement. The sensor features wide operating range, compact size, easy installation and low power operation.The 86000 measures wind speed and direction based on the transit time of ultrasonic pulses between three transducers.Measurement results are available as calibrated analog output signals, or serial data using RS-232 or RS-485. Continuous serial output or polled operation may be used. Serial format options include direct connection to Young Wind Tracker displays, marine NMEA systems, data loggers, or other compatible serial communication devices.Operating parameters are easily set using the 86SETUP program provided. All 86000 parameter settings are stored internally in nonvolatile memory.The sensor is constructed using ultraviolet-stabilized thermoplastic for superior environmental resistance. It is easily mounted on standard 1 inch (IPS) pipe. An orientation ring preserves mounting position when the sensor is removed.
