Descripción detallada

A magnet turns with the rotor spindle producing a varying field which causes a mercury wetted reed switch to make and break contact once per revolution of the rotor. The contacts are bounce free, and no power is required apart from that necessary to detect contact closure; the A100R is thus well suited for use on remote sites. The rotor is tested by comparison with a rotor calibrated at the UK National Physical Laboratory, and a calibration figure is provided with each instrument. The anemometer is constructed from anodised aluminium alloy, stainless steels and weather resisting plastics. A stainless steel shaft runs in two precision,corrosion-resistant ball-races. The bearings are protected from the entry of moisture droplets and dust, resulting in an instrument suitable for permanent exposure to the weather. In the marine version — A100R/WR, available to special order — a touching shaft-seal is fitted for extra protection in place of the standard non-contact seal; please note that this gives a small increase in the threshold or stalling speed.
