What Does a Cup Anemometer Do?

Monday, December 28, 2009 by Beckie Bordenaro
We were wondering the same thing!

Cup Anemometers measure air speed in a range of applications; wind turbines, buildings, weather stations, greenhouses and cranes.

Our Carlo Gavazzi sensor, the DWS-V-DAC13, is a cup anemometer  contains both PNP- and NPN open collector outputs, in which a fixed current is switched proportionally to the air speed at the rate of 10 pulses per m/s.

A built-in self-regulated heater reduces the risk of glazing. The heater is supplied separately, which makes it possible to control the heating.

The DWS-V-DAC13 is equipped with a specially designed protection mechanism, which protects the bearings and the electronic parts against dirt and humidity.

The body of the sensor is made of black PVC, and the rotor is produced in stainless steel.
