The K360V+ sensor is a high precision wind vane with continuous 360º rotation and no dead band and a resolution of just 0.35º. The K360V+ is designed for use in wind resource assessment, solar resource assessment as well as meteorology and environmental monitoring and features a very low starting threshold of less than 0.4 m/s, an accuracy of +/- 1.4º and is built from high strength anodized aluminium and polycarbonate for harsh climatic conditions. The wind vane is designed for mounting on a 25 mm (or 1”) diameter tube.
Optional three per box packages to reduce the transport costs. The sensor complies with the specifications of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO-No.8).
