The Heavy Duty Wind Monitor HD-Alpine combines the features of the HD unit along with the ice resistant coating of our popular Alpine Wind Monitor. Robust, reliable, durable . . . . all words to describe the latest addition of the YOUNG family of wind monitors developed to endure the most extreme environments. The YOUNG Model 05108-45 Heavy Duty Wind Monitor HD-Alpine measures horizontal wind speed and direction.  This sensor includes ceramic bearings, ¼ inch diameter propeller shaft and high pitch propeller as found in Model 05108.  To improve performance in in high elevation Alpine environments this model has the additional features of an all-black design for thermal warming from sun exposure and a specially formulated, ice resistant coating applied to all external surfaces.  The direct output for wind speed is an AC sine wave and direction is a precision potentiometer.  This sensor mounts on a standard 1-inch IPS pipe.  A mounting orientation ring is included.
