ULTRASONIC SENSOR “u[sonic]”

The all new combined ultrasonic sensor u[sonic]…
for wind direction and wind speed.

This seawater resistant sensor is perfectly heated and ideal for use under cold climate conditions.

The equipment is connected by an 8 pole screw connector. The measured values can be requested over a variety of interfaces.
